NATIONAL CREDIT UNION ADMINISTRATION


Privacy Act of 1974; Revisions of Systems of Records

AGENCY:  National Credit Union Administration.

ACTION:  Notification of revisions and deletions of systems of records.

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

SUMMARY:  The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) is revising 
its Privacy Act systems notices. The revisions result from a review of 
agency information practices conducted in accordance with the 
President's May 14, 1998, memorandum on privacy and personal 
information in federal records. In the review, NCUA identified several 
changes in its record-keeping practices which permitted the elimination 
of some systems and the consolidation of others. Due to organizational 
changes, several system managers had changed. In some systems, NCUA 
staff identified new routine uses compatible with the purposes for 
which the information is collected. No new exemptions from provisions 
of the Privacy Act of 1974 were required. The revisions reflect the 
changes, and clarify the system notices.

EFFECTIVE DATE:  The revised system notices will be effective without 
further notice on February 22, 2000, unless comments received before 
that date cause a contrary decision. If, based on the review of 
comments received, NCUA determines to make changes to the system 
notices, a new final notice will be published.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  Dianne M. Salva, Staff Attorney, 
Division of Operations, Office of General Counsel, at the National 
Credit Union Administration, 1775 Duke Street, Alexandria, Virginia 
22314, or telephone: (703) 518-6540.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  In a memorandum dated May 14, 1998, 
President Clinton directed federal agencies to conduct a thorough 
review of all agency systems of records. The President specifically 
directed agencies to consider changes in technology, function and 
organization that may have made the systems out of date and to review 
the routine uses published in the system notices to make sure that they 
continue to be necessary and compatible with the purposes for which 
they were collected. He also directed agencies to identify systems that 
may not have been described in a notice published in the Federal 
Register and to publish notices for any changes to the agency systems 
of records and report to the Office of Management and Budget within one 
year regarding the results of their efforts.

[[Page 3487]]

    In its review NCUA determined to eliminate redundancies in its 
system notices, and as a result was able to delete nine systems. Most 
of the changes made by this notice are technical in nature, reflecting 
the current name and address of the office responsible for each system 
and renumbering the systems. In total NCUA reduced the number of 
systems from twenty-two to thirteen. It also updated its appendix B, 
listing the addresses of the regional offices.
    The review provided an opportunity to combine what were six 
identical systems published for employee records from each of the six 
NCUA regional offices, into one unified system covering all employees. 
This permitted the revision of one system and the elimination of five 
others. A routine use was added to permit disclosure of information 
relating to the qualifications of an individual to a licensing board.
    A routine use was added to the system covering employee payroll 
records, as required by the Personal Responsibility and Work 
Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996. 42 U.S.C. 653.
    The systems covering delinquent Freedom of Information Act request 
invoices was updated and expanded to cover the entire Freedom of 
Information Act and Privacy Act request file and the method of record 
storage was changed to reflect the use of a computerized database to 
track requests and invoice payments.
    Three systems previously covered the files of failed credit unions 
which are placed in liquidation by NCUA. These three systems have been 
combined into one and two new routine uses were added. One new routine 
use covers required disclosures to other agencies and the other new 
routine use covers NCUA's maintenance of an Internet web page listing 
the names associated with unclaimed accounts at failed credit unions.
    Several new routine uses were added to the system covering 
investigative records maintained by the Office of Inspector General. 
One routine use permits the disclosure of information for audit 
purposes. Another routine use permits disclosure of information to 
other government agencies if it is required in order to obtain 
information about an individual. A routine use was also added to permit 
disclosure of information reflecting upon the qualifications of an 
individual to a licensing board.
    The system covering consumer complaints filed against credit unions 
was amended to reflect the use of a computerized database to track 
complaints.
    A routine use was added to the system covering litigation case 
files that would permit disclosure of information reflecting upon the 
qualifications of an individual to a licensing board.
    NCUA has deleted the following systems:

(NCUA-4, Verified Employee Mailing List; NCUA-6, New Examiner 
Training Files; NCUA-8, Region II Employee Development/
Correspondence Records; NCUA-9, Region III Employee Development/
Correspondence Records; NCUA-10, Region IV Employee Development/
Correspondence Records; NCUA-11, Region V Employee Development/
Correspondence Records; NCUA-12, Region VI Employee Development/
Correspondence Records; NCUA-17, Acquired Assets and Share Payout 
Records System; NCUA-19, Trusteed Account Records System.

    Having made these changes, NCUA's revised systems of records, along 
with the appendices, are published in their entirety below.
