Privacy Act of 1974; Systems of Records

AGENCY: Foreign Claims Settlement Commission, Justice.

ACTION: Notice of Privacy Act systems of records.

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

SUMMARY: The Foreign Claims Settlement Commission of the United States 
herewith publishes an updated Notice of its Privacy Act Systems of 
Records. Publication of such notice is required under subsection (e)(4) 
of the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4). This update is 
necessary in order to reflect changes in the location of some of the 
Commission's records systems, and the deletion of seven systems 
(Justice/FCSC-2, ``Bulgaria, Claims Against (1st Program),'' Justice/
FCSC-10, ``Czechoslovakia, Claims Against,'' Justice/FCSC-16, 
``Hungary, Claims Against (1st Program),'' Justice/FCSC-18, ``Italy, 
Claims Against (1st Program),'' Justice/FCSC-21, ``Panama, Claims 
Against,'' Justice/FCSC-26, ``Rumania, Claims Against (1st Program),'' 
and Justice/FCSC-29, ``Yugoslavia, Claims Against (1st Program)''), due 
to the release of the records in those systems to the National Archives 
for permanent retention. In addition, as part of the review of Privacy 
Act systems of records mandated by the President's Memorandum on 
Privacy and Personal Information in Federal Records of May 14, 1998, 
the Commission has deleted three other systems (Justice/FCSC-13, 
``Payroll Records,'' Justice/FCSC-14, ``General Personnel Records,'' 
and Justice/FCSC-15, ``General Financial Records''), based on a 
determination that the records in those systems were duplicative of 
records in other systems or otherwise had become superfluous.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 10, 1999.

ADDRESSES: 600 E Street, NW, Room 6002, Washington, DC 20579.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Judith H. Lock, Administrative 
Officer, Tel. 202-616-6986, FAX 202-616-6993.
    Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4), the Foreign Claims Settlement 
Commission hereby publishes the systems of records as currently 
maintained by the agency.
