modified and new systems of records will be effective October 23, 2000 
unless the Peace Corps receives comments that require a different 
determination.

Office of the Chief Information Officer, Peace Corps, 1111 20th Street,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) and (11) provide 
that the public be given a 30-day period in which to comment on routine 
uses of information in each system of records. The Office of Management

six new systems.
    The Peace Corps has updated and modified the following system of 
records: PC-1, PC-2, PC-3, PC-4, PC-5, PC-6, PC-7, PC-8, PC-9, PC-10, 
PC-11, PC-12, PC-13, PC-14, PC-15, PC-16, PC-17, PC-18, and PC-19. The

Management, Parking, and Metro Pool; PC-21, Crisis Corps Database; PC-
22, Volunteer Health Record; PC-23, Health Benefits Program for Peace 
Corps Volunteers; PC-24, Privacy and Freedom of Information Act

II. General Routine Uses Applicable to More Than One System of 
Records

    A. Disclosure for Law Enforcement Purposes. Information may be 
disclosed to the appropriate Federal, State, local, or foreign agency

a statute, rule, regulation, or order, if the information indicates a 
violation or potential violation of civil or criminal law or regulation 
within the jurisdiction of the receiving entity.
    B. Disclosure Incident to Requesting Information. Information may 
be disclosed to any source from which additional information is 
requested (to the extent necessary to identify the individual, inform 
the source of the purpose(s) of the request, or to identify the type of 
information requested); when necessary to obtain information relevant 
to a Peace Corps decision concerning retention of an employee or other 
personnel action (other than hiring), retention of a security 
clearance, the letting of a contract, or the issuance or retention of a 
grant or other benefit.
    C. Disclosure to Requesting Agency. Information may be disclosed to 
a Federal, State, local, or other public authority of the fact that 
this system of records contains information relevant to the requesting 
agency's retention of an employee, the retention of a security 
clearance, the letting of a contract, or the issuance or retention of a 
license, grant, or other benefit. The other agency or licensing 
organization may then make a request supported by the written consent 
of the individual for part or all of the record if it so chooses. No 
disclosure will be made unless the information has been determined to 
be sufficiently reliable to support a referral to another office within 
the agency or to another Federal agency for criminal, civil, 
administrative, personnel, or regulatory action.
    D. Disclosure to Office of Management and Budget. Information may 
be disclosed to the Office of Management and Budget at any stage in the

private relief legislation as set forth in OMB Circular No. A-19.

disclosed to a congressional office from the record of an individual in 
response to an inquiry from the congressional office made at the 
request of the individual.
    F. Disclosure to Department of Justice. Information may be 
disclosed for purposes of litigation, provided that in each case the 
disclosure is compatible with the purpose for which the records were 
collected. Disclosure for these purposes may be made to the Department 
of Justice, or in a proceeding before a court, adjudicative body, or 
other administrative body before which the Peace Corps is authorized to 
appear. This disclosure may be made when:
    1. The Peace Corps, or any component thereof;
    2. Any employee of the Peace Corps in his or her official capacity;
    3. Any employee of the Peace Corps in his or her individual 
capacity where the Department of Justice or the Peace Corps has agreed 
to represent the employee; or
    4. The United States (when the Peace Corps determines that 
litigation is likely to affect the Peace Corps or any of its 
components); is a party to litigation or has an interest in such 
litigation, and the use of such records by the Department of Justice or 
the Peace Corps is deemed by the Peace Corps to be relevant and 
necessary to the litigation.
    G. Disclosure to the National Archives. Information may be 
disclosed to the National Archives and Records Administrative in 
records management inspections.
    H. Disclosure to Contractors, Grantees, and Others. Information may 
be disclosed to contractors, grantees, consultants, or Volunteers 
performing or working on a contract, service, grant, cooperative 
agreement, job, or other activity for the Peace Corps and who have a 
need to have access to the information in the performance of their

will be required to comply with the

[[Page 53774]]

requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974 as provided in 5 U.S.C.

examiner, formal complaints examiner, equal employment opportunity 
investigator, arbitrator, or other person properly engaged in 
investigation or settlement of an administrative grievance, complaint, 
claim, or appeal filed by an employee, but only to the extent that the 
information is relevant and necessary to the proceeding. Agencies that 
may obtain information under this routine use include, but are not 
limited to, the Office of Personnel Management, Office of Special 
Counsel, Merit Systems Protection Board, Federal Labor Relations 
Authority, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and Office of 
Government Ethics.
    J. Disclosure to the Office of Personnel Management. Information 
may be disclosed to the Office of Personnel Management pursuant to that 
agency's responsibility for evaluation and oversight of Federal 
personnel management.
    K. Disclosure in Connection with Litigation. Information may be 
disclosed in connection with litigation or settlement discussions 
regarding claims by or against the Peace Corps, including public filing 
with a court, to the extent that disclosure of the information is 
relevant and necessary to the litigation or discussions and except 
where court orders are otherwise required under Section (b)(11) of the 
Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(11).
    L. Disclosure to U.S. Ambassadors. Information from this system of 
records may be disclosed to a U.S. Ambassador or his or her designee in
