DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

31 CFR Part 1


Departmental Offices; Privacy Act of 1974; Implementation

AGENCY: Department of the Treasury.

ACTION: Final rule; corrections.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of the Treasury is making corrections to its 
Privacy Act exemption rules that were published on November 21, 2000, 
which consolidated the regulations issued pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j) 
and (k) exempting one or more systems of records established on behalf 
of each bureau by the Department.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 27, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Inquiries may be addressed to Department of the Treasury, 
Disclosure Services, Washington, DC 22020.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 21, 2000, the Department of the 
Treasury published a final rule at 65 FR 69865, amending its 
regulations issued pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j) and (k).
    The Department is making several corrections to its list of systems 
of records for which an exemption is claimed as published on November 
21, 2000. In the table following paragraph (c)(1)(i), the system number 
and title of two systems of records were inadvertently combined to read 
``DO .212 Bank Secrecy Act Reports System.'' This is being changed to 
properly identify the system number and name for the systems of records 
entitled ``DO .212 Suspicious Activity Reporting System,'' and ``DO 
.213 Bank Secrecy Act Reports System.'' In addition, ``DO .212 
Suspicious Activity Reporting System'' was not included in the table 
following paragraph (g)(1)(i) under the heading ``DEPARTMENTAL 
OFFICES,'' and this rule will make this correction. The final rule for 
the ``Suspicious Activity Reporting System'' was published on October 
31, 1997, at 62 FR 58907.
    As noted in that preamble, the Department had published a final 
rule on November 17, 1999, at 64 FR 62585, which exempted a U.S. 
Customs Service system of records, CS .213-Seized Assets and Case 
Tracking System (SEACATS) pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) and (k)(2). 
The above system of records did not appear in the tables following 
paragraphs (c)(1)(iv) and (g)(1)(iv) under the heading U.S. CUSTOMS 
SERVICE. This rule corrects the oversight by adding SEACATS to the 
tables under the respective paragraphs.
    In addition, corrections are being made to incorporate the 
following changes to the Department's inventory of Privacy Act systems 
of records in the appropriate tables:
    (1) Treasury/DO .190 is renamed from ``General Allegations and 
Investigative Records'' to ``Investigation Data Management System,'' as 
published on August 31, 2000, at 65 FR 53085.
    (2) ``ATF .006-Internal Security Record System,'' and ``BEP .044-
Personnel Security Files and Indices,'' are deleted, as published on 
December 14, 2000, at 65 FR 78261.
    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.
    The regulation will not have a substantial direct effect on the 
States, on the relationship between the national Government and the 
States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the 
various levels of government. Therefore, it is determined that this 
final rule does not have federalism implications under Executive Order 
13132.
    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 final rule will not impose new record-keeping, 
application, reporting, or other types of information collection 
requirements.
