TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY

18 CFR Part 1301


Privacy Act Regulations; Implementation

AGENCY: Tennessee Valley Authority.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is amending its 
regulations implementing the Privacy Act of 1974 (the Act), 5 U.S.C. 
552a. The amendment modifies existing TVA regulations (18 CFR 1301.24) 
exempting the system of records known as OIG Investigative Records--TVA 
(TVA-31) from certain provisions of the Act and corresponding agency 
regulations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 25, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Wilma H. McCauley, TVA, 1101 Market 
St. (CST 13B), Chattanooga, TN 37402-2801, telephone number: (423) 751-
2523.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 28, 1993, (58 FR 57972-57974) TVA 
gave notice as required by the Privacy Act of its intention to amend 
the system of records known as OIG Investigative Records--TVA (TVA-31) 
from certain provisions of the Act and corresponding agency 
regulations. No comments were received. TVA is therefore updating its 
regulations at 18 CFR part 1301 to reflect this amendment.

* * * * *
    (d) The TVA system OIG Investigative Records is exempt from 
subsections (c)(3), (d), (e)(1), (e)(4), (G), (H), and (I) and (f) of 5 
U.S.C. 552a (section 3 of the Privacy Act) and corresponding sections 
of these rules pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2). The TVA system OIG 
Investigative Records is exempt from subsections (c)(3), (d), (e)(1),

the existence or scope of investigations, lead to suppression, 
alteration, fabrication, or destruction of evidence, disclose 
investigative techniques or procedures, reduce the cooperativeness or 
safety of witnesses, or otherwise impair investigations.
