SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. PA-20]


Privacy Act of 1974: Deletion, Modification, and Redesignation of 
Privacy Act Systems of Records

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission.

ACTION: Notification of deletion and modification of Privacy Act 
Systems of Records and redesignation of all records systems for the 
Securities and Exchange Commission.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 
1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Securities and Exchange Commission 
is removing four records systems that are either duplicative of a 
government-wide records system; not retrieved by name or personal 
identifier, and, therefore, not a Privacy Act system; not implemented 
or in effect; or obsolete. The Commission is also modifying forty-one 
systems that involve updating the Commission's address as reflected in 
the system locations, system manager(s) and address, retention and 
disposal, notification procedures, and record access procedures, due to 
recent office moves. Finally, the release would revise the Federal 
Register's biennial compilation of Federal Agency Privacy Act System 
Notices by redesignating/renumbering the Commission's records systems 
and by removing appendix A and replacing it with a Table of Contents.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 11, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Hannah R. Hall, Privacy Act Officer, 
Tel. (202) 942-4320, Office of the Executive Director, Freedom of 
Information Act and Privacy Act Operations, Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Operations Center, 6432 General Green Way, Mail Stop O-5, 
Alexandria, VA 22312-2413.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the course of reviewing its Privacy Act 
systems of records notices, the Commission identified four systems of 
records which are being removed: SEC-21, ``Division of Corporate 
Regulation Bankruptcy Act Records''; SEC-30, ``Equal Employment 
Opportunity Complaints''; SEC-39, ``Telephone Call Detail Records''; 
and SEC-57, ``SECO Files.'' With respect to SEC-21, the records in the 
system are not retrievable by name or other personal identifier and, 
therefore, the system is not a Privacy Act system of records. With 
respect to SEC-30, the records are maintained in another system of 
records subject to a government-wide system notice (EEOC/GOVT-1), 
published by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. With respect 
to SEC-39, the Commission published a notice of its intent to establish 
this system of records subject to any comments ``which would result in 
a contrary determination.'' 60 FR 48733 (Sept. 20, 1995). In response 
to comments received, the Commission determined not to implement the 
system of records and, therefore, withdraws its Privacy Act notice. 
With respect to SEC-57, the Commission no longer places records in this 
system, which is now obsolete.
    In addition, the Commission has deemed it necessary to redesignate/
renumber all remaining systems notices. Finally, the Commission is 
replacing the appendix A of the systems of records with a Table of 
Contents, to provide a better guide to the Commission's Privacy Act 
systems notices. For the purposes of complying with the Privacy Act and 
OMB Circular A-130, these modifications are minor changes and do not 
require an advance report to, and review by, the Congress and the 
Office of Management and Budget.
    The following systems of records are hereby removed from the 
Federal Register because they are either: (1) Duplicative of a 
government-wide records system; (2) not retrieved by name or personal 
identifier and, therefore, not a Privacy Act system of records; (3) not 
implemented or in effect; or (4) obsolete.

SEC-21

    System name: Division of Corporate Regulation Bankruptcy Act 
Records.

SEC-30

    System name: Equal Employment Opportunity Complaints.

SEC-39

    System name: Telephone Call Detail Records.

SEC-57

    The following systems notices have been redesignated according to 
the table below.
