Departmental Offices

31 CFR Part 1


Privacy Act of 1974; Implementation

AGENCY: Department of the Treasury.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of the Treasury is amending its Privacy Act 
regulations by revising the list of Treasury Department officials and 
offices which are subject to this part. In addition, the reference to 
the United States Savings Bonds Division's Appendix K is being removed 
by redesignating Appendices K and L.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 14, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dale Underwood, Disclosure Services, 
(202) 622-0930.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of the Treasury is updating 
its list of officials and offices that are subject to this part due to 
the organizational changes occurring since the list was last published 
on July 14, 1987. In addition, the United States Savings Bonds Division 
has been made a part of the Bureau of the Public Debt. Therefore, the 
United States Savings Bonds Division's Appendix K is being removed from 
Subpart C which re-designates Appendix L-Federal Law Enforcement 
Training Center, and Appendix M-Office of Thrift Supervision, of 
Subpart C as Appendices K and L respectively.
    These regulations are being published as a final rule because the 
amendment does not impose any requirements on any member of the public. 
This amendment is the most efficient means for the Treasury Department 
to implement its internal requirements for complying with the Privacy 
Act. Accordingly, pursuant to the administrative procedure provisions 
in 5 U.S.C. 553, the Department of the Treasury finds good cause that 
prior notice and other public procedure with respect to this rule are 
impracticable and unnecessary and finds good cause for making this rule 
effective on the date of publication in the Federal Register.
    In accordance with Executive Order 12866, it has been determined 
that this final rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and, 
therefore, does not require a Regulatory Impact Analysis.
    Because no notice of proposed rulemaking is required, the 
provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do 
not apply.
    In accordance with the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Department of the Treasury has 
determined that this proposed rule will not impose new record-keeping, 
application, reporting, or other types of information collection 
requirements.
