ACTION: Request for comments on proposed establishment of new Privacy Act systems of records, revision of systems of records, and deletion of a system of records. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 522a(e)(4) of the Privacy Act of 1974, the U.S. International Trade Commission (``Commission'') proposes the following actions: (1) Consolidate and revise two existing systems of records, currently entitled ``Budgetary and Payroll-Related Records'' and ``Time and Attendance Records,'' into a new system of records entitled ``Pay, Leave and Travel Records;'' (2) revise the existing system of records entitled ``Grievance Records;'' (3) revise the existing system of records entitled ``Office of Inspector General Investigative Files General and Criminal'' by clarifying that there are two separate systems of records entitled ``Office of Inspector General Investigative Files (General)'' and ``Office of Inspector General Investigative Files (Criminal);'' (4) establish a new system of records entitled ``Telephone Call Detail Records;'' (5) establish a new system of records entitled ``Security Access Records;'' (6) establish a new system of records entitled ``Personnel Security [[Page 23486]] Investigative Files Records;'' (7) establish a new system of records entitled ``Library Circulation Records;'' (8) establish a new system of records entitled ``Parking Records;'' (9) establish a new system of records entitled ``Mailing List Records;'' (10) establish a new system of records entitled ``Congressional Correspondence Records;'' and (11) eliminate a current system of records entitled ``Employment and Financial Disclosure Records.'' DATES: Comments must be received no later than June 9, 1997. The proposed revisions and additions to the Commission's systems of records will become effective on that date unless otherwise published in the Federal Register. ADDRESSES: Written comments should be directed to the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street, SW, Washington, DC 20436. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Anjali K. Hansen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, U.S. International Trade Commission, tel. 202-205- 3117. Hearing-impaired persons can obtain information on this matter by contacting the Commission's TDD terminal on 202-205-1810. Persons with mobility impairments who will need special assistance in gaining access to the Commission should contact the Office of the Secretary at 202- 205-2000. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974, these revisions, deletions, and additions to the Commission's system of records will be reported to the Office of Management and Budget, the Chair of the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight of the House of Representatives, and the Chair of the Committee on Governmental Affairs of the Senate. The revisions to existing Commission systems of records, the addition of new systems of records, and the deletion of a system of records are in response to a comprehensive review of the Commission's systems of records conducted by the Commission's Office of Inspector General and Office of General Counsel. The Commission proposes to revise and consolidate existing systems of records by updating, clarifying and conforming the information in the Commission's Privacy Act notices to reflect current procedures. The Commission proposes to consolidate the ``Budgetary and Payroll-Related Records'' and ``Time and Attendance Records'' into a new system of records entitled ``Pay, Leave and Travel Records'' since these functions have become more integrated. The Commission proposes to divide the current Office of Inspector General notice into two separate notices (criminal and general) because two separate records systems are maintained that are subject to different exemptions under the Privacy Act. The Commission also proposes to notice seven systems of records which are new systems of records maintained by the Commission. The Commission proposes to delete the current system of records entitled ``Employment and Financial Disclosure Records'' because the Commission's records are covered by Government-wide systems of records (OGE/GOVT-1 and OGE/GOVT- 2). Finally, the Commission proposes to revise the routine uses applicable to its systems of records to reflect current agency practice and to standardize routine uses that are applicable to more than one system of records. Because the establishment of the system covering personnel security investigative files records requires the promulgation of a Commission rule exempting this system from certain provisions of the Privacy Act, the Commission will also be publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking.
