Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: Bureau of Engraving and Printing, Treasury.

ACTION: Notice of alterations to an existing Privacy Act system of 
records.

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

SUMMARY: The Treasury Department, Bureau of Engraving and Printing, 
gives notice of proposed alterations to Treasury/BEP .027--Programmable 
Access Security System (PASS), which is subject to the Privacy Act of 
1974.

DATES: Comments must be received no later than October 15, 2002. The 
proposed alterations will be effective October 23, 2002, unless the 
Department receives comments that would result in a contrary 
determination.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Patricia A. Warden, Disclosure 
Officer, Bureau of Engraving and Printing, 14th and C streets, SW, Room 
646PD, Washington, DC 20228. Telephone number (202) 874-2582.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) 
is adding as a new category under the heading ``Categories of 
individuals,'' all official visitors who do not possess a valid Federal 
Government ID. The change will allow the BEP to have a record of all 
official visitors who enter one of its premises. Under the heading 
``Categories of records'', category (C) is being revised to reflect the 
collection of information about official visitors to a BEP facility 
will include their full name, social security number and date of birth 
(DOB). The collection of this information will allow a security check 
to be made on all such persons entering the buildings.

    Under the heading ``retention'', BEP is adding language concerning 
the retention of the records submitted by the visitors to the bureau 
premises. Under the heading ``System Manager,'' the identification of 
the system manager at the Fort Worth facility is being changed to show 
that the Manager of the Security and Police Division is the specific 
individual responsible for the maintenance of the records at that 
facility.
    Finally, all references to Bureau of the Public Debt (BPD) 
employees are removed from the text under the headings ``Categories of 
individuals,'' ``Categories of records in the system,'' and 
``Safeguards,'' as they no longer occupy the BEP facility.
    The system notice was last published in its entirety in the Federal 
Register, Vol. 66, page 33305, on June 21, 2001.
    The report of an altered system of records, as required by 5 U.S.C. 
552a(r) of the Privacy Act, has been submitted to the Committee on 
Government Operations of the House of Representatives, the Committee on 
Governmental Affairs of the Senate, and the Office of Management and 
Budget, pursuant to Appendix I to OMB Circular A-130, ``Federal Agency 
Responsibilities for Maintaining Records About Individuals.''
    For the reasons set forth in this preamble, the BEP proposes to 
amend its system of records Treasury/BEP .027 as set forth below:
