DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

31 CFR Part 1


U. S. Secret Service; Privacy Act of 1974; Implementation

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Treasury.

ACTION: Final Rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Department is amending its regulations concerning the 
Privacy Act of 1974, Title 5 of the United States Code, Section 552a 
(Privacy Act) by revising the United States Secret Services Appendix D 
of this subpart to identify a new official responsible for 
administrative appeals of initial determinations refusing amendment of 
records made pursuant to the Privacy Act. The Department is also 
updating the address of the Secret Service Headquarters listed in the 
Appendix.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 13, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Donna Cahill, Associate Chief Counsel, 
United States Secret Service, 950 H Street, NW., Suite 8300, 
Washington, DC 20373-5802.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Secret Service is updating its current 
Privacy Act regulation Appendix D. The Secret Service moved its 
headquarters to a new location, consequently the addresses shown in the 
Appendix are no longer current and need to be updated to provide the 
proper address to the public.
    The Secret Service also recognizes a need to revise paragraph 4 of 
Appendix D, which identifies the official responsible for reviewing 
administrative appeals of initial determinations refusing amendment of 
records. Existing regulations name the ``Assistant Secretary of the 
Treasury for Enforcement'' as the reviewing official. However, to be 
consistent with the language implementing the Freedom of Information 
Act (FOIA), 31 CFR part 1, subpart A, appendix D.4, published at 65 FR 
40514 on June 30, 2000, the Secret Service has determined that the 
reviewing official should be changed to the ``Deputy Director, United 
States Secret Service.'' The address to which an appeal should be made 
by mail or delivered personally is also being changed to: ``Privacy Act 
Amendment Appeal, Deputy Director, United States Secret Service, 950 H 
Street, NW., Suite 8300, Washington, DC 20373-5802.''
    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.
