Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration; Privacy Act of 
1974; Proposed Implementation

AGENCY: Departmental Offices, Treasury.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 
1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Department of Treasury gives notice of a 
proposed amendment to this part to exempt several systems of records 
maintained by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration 
(TIGTA) from certain provisions of the Privacy Act.

DATES: Comments must be received no later than October 22, 2003.

ADDRESSES: Please submit comments to Lori Creswell, Assistant Chief 
Counsel, Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, 1125 15th 
Street, Room 700A, Washington, DC 20005, 202-622-4068. Comments will be 
made available for inspection and/or copying upon written request.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lori Creswell, Assistant Chief 
Counsel, Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, 1125 15th 
Street, Room 700A, Washington, DC 20005, 202-622-4068.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Treasury Inspector General for Tax 
Administration (TIGTA) was established pursuant to the Internal Revenue 
Service Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998. TIGTA's duties and 
operating authority are set forth in the Inspector General Act of 1978, 
5 U.S.C app. 3. TIGTA exercises all duties and responsibilities of an 
Inspector General with respect to the Department and the Secretary on 
all matters relating to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). TIGTA 
conducts, supervises, and coordinates audits and investigations 
relating to the programs and operations of the IRS and related 
entities. TIGTA is organizationally placed within the Department of the 
Treasury, but is independent of the Department and all other Treasury 
offices.
    The Department of the Treasury is publishing separately the notice 
of new systems of records to be maintained by TIGTA.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2), the head of a Federal agency may 
promulgate rules to exempt a system of records from certain provisions 
of 5 U.S.C. 552a if the system of records is ``maintained by an agency 
or component thereof which performs as its principal function any 
activity pertaining to the enforcement of criminal laws, including 
police efforts to prevent, control, or reduce crime or to apprehend 
criminals, and the activities of prosecutors, courts, correctional, 
probation, pardon or parole authorities, and which consists of (A) 
information compiled for the purpose of identifying individual criminal 
offenders and alleged offenders and consisting only of identifying data 
and notations of arrests, the nature and disposition of criminal 
charges, sentencing, confinement, release, and paroled and probation 
status; (B) information compiled for the purpose of criminal 
investigation, including reports of informants and investigators, and 
associated with an identifiable individual; or (C) reports identifiable 
to an individual compiled at any state of the process of enforcement of 
the criminal laws from arrest or indictment through release from 
supervision.''
    To the extent that these systems of records contain investigative 
material within the provisions of 5 U.S.C.

[[Page 55017]]

552a(j)(2), the Department of the Treasury proposes to exempt the 
following systems of records from various provisions of the Privacy Act 
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2):

DO .303-TIGTA General Correspondence;
DO .307-TIGTA Employee Relations Matters, Appeals, Grievances, and 
Complaint Files;
DO .308-TIGTA Data Extracts;
DO .309-TIGTA Chief Counsel Case Files, and
DO .310-TIGTA Chief Counsel Disclosure Section Records.

    The proposed exemption under 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) for the above-
referenced systems of records is from provisions 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3), 
(c)(4), (d), (d)(4), (e)(1), (e)(2), (e)(3), (e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(H), 
(e)(4)(I), (e)(5), (e)(8), (f), and (g).
    The following are the reasons why the investigative material 
contained in the above-referenced systems of records maintained by 
TIGTA are exempt from various provisions of the Privacy Act pursuant to 
5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2).
    (1) 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4)(G) and (f)(l) enable individuals to inquire 
whether a system of records contains records pertaining to themselves. 
Disclosure of this information to the subjects of investigations would 
provide individuals with information concerning the nature and scope of 
any current investigation. Further, providing information as required 
by this provision would alert the individual to the existence of an 
investigation and afford the individual an opportunity to attempt to 
conceal his/her criminal activities so as to avoid apprehension and may 
enable the individual to avoid detection or apprehension, enable the 
destruction or alteration of evidence of the criminal conduct that 
would form the basis for an arrest, and could impede or impair TIGTA's 
ability to investigate the matter. In addition, to provide this type of 
information would give individuals an opportunity to learn whether they 
have been identified as subjects of investigation.
    (2) 5 U.S.C. 552a(d)(1), (e)(4)(H) and (f)(2), (3) and (5) grant 
individuals access to records pertaining to themselves. Disclosure of 
this information to the subjects of an investigation would provide them 
with information concerning the nature and scope of any current 
investigation and may enable them to avoid detection or apprehension, 
enable them to destroy or alter evidence of criminal conduct that would 
form the basis for their arrest, and could impede or impair TIGTA's 
ability to investigate the matter. In addition, permitting access to 
investigative files and records could disclose the identity of 
confidential sources and the nature of the information supplied by the 
informant as well as endanger the physical safety of those sources by 
exposing them to possible reprisal for having provided the information. 
Confidential sources and informers might refuse to provide TIGTA with 
valuable information unless they believed that their identities would 
not be revealed through disclosure of their names or the nature of the 
information they supplied. Loss of access to such sources would 
seriously impair TIGTA's ability to perform its law enforcement 
responsibilities. Furthermore, providing access to records contained in 
the systems of records could reveal the identities of undercover law 
enforcement officers who compiled information regarding the 
individual's criminal activities, and thereby endanger the physical 
safety of those undercover officers by exposing them to possible 
reprisals. Permitting access in keeping with these provisions would 
also discourage other law enforcement and regulatory agencies from 
freely sharing information with TIGTA and thus would restrict its 
access to information necessary to accomplish its mission most 
effectively.
    (3) 5 U.S.C. 552a(d)(2), (3) and (4), (e)(4)(H), and (f)(4) permit 
an individual to request amendment of a record pertaining to the 
individual and require the agency either to amend the record, or to 
note the disputed portion of the record, and to provide a copy of the 
individual's statement of disagreement with the agency's refusal to 
amend a record to persons or other agencies to whom the record is 
thereafter disclosed. Since these provisions depend upon the individual 
having access to his or her records, and since these rules exempt the 
systems of records from the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a relating to 
access to records, for the reasons set out in the preceding paragraph 
of this section, these provisions should not apply to the above-listed 
systems of records.
    (4) 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3) requires an agency to make accountings of 
disclosures of a record available to the individual named in the record 
upon his or her request. Making accountings of disclosures available to 
the subjects of investigations would alert them to the fact that TIGTA 
is conducting an investigation into their activities as well as 
identify the nature, scope, and purpose of that investigation. 
Providing accountings to the subjects of investigations would alert 
them to the fact that the TIGTA has information regarding their 
activities and could inform them of the general nature of that 
information. The subjects of the investigations, if provided an 
accounting of disclosures would be able to take measures to avoid 
detection or apprehension by altering their operations or by destroying 
or concealing evidence that would form the basis for detection or 
apprehension.
    (5) 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(4) requires an agency to inform any person or 
other agency about any correction or notation of dispute that the 
agency made in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(d) to any record that the 
agency disclosed to the person or agency if an accounting of the 
disclosure was made. Since this provision depends on an individual's 
having access to and an opportunity to request amendment of records 
pertaining to the individual, and since these rules exempt the systems 
of records from the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a relating to access to, 
and amendment of, records, for the reasons set out in paragraph (2) of 
this section, this provision should not apply to these systems of 
records.
    (6) 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4)(I) requires an agency to publish a general 
notice listing the categories of sources for information contained in a 
system of records. Revealing sources of information could disclose 
investigative techniques and procedures, result in threats or reprisals 
against confidential informants by the subjects of investigations, and 
cause confidential informants to refuse to give full information to 
criminal investigators for fear of having their identities as sources 
disclosed.
    (7) 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(1) requires an agency to maintain in its 
records only such information about an individual as is relevant and 
necessary to accomplish a purpose of the agency required to be 
accomplished by statute or executive order. The term ``maintain,'' as 
defined in 5 U.S.C. 552a(a)(3), includes ``collect'' and 
``disseminate.'' The application of this provision could impair TIGTA's 
ability to collect and disseminate valuable law enforcement 
information. In the early stages of an investigation, it may be 
impossible to determine whether information collected is relevant and 
necessary, and information that initially appears irrelevant and 
unnecessary often may, upon further evaluation or upon review of 
information developed subsequently, prove particularly relevant to a 
law enforcement program. Compliance with the records maintenance 
criteria listed in the foregoing provision would require TIGTA to 
periodically up-date the investigatory material it collects and

[[Page 55018]]

maintains in these systems to ensure that the information remains 
timely and complete. Further, TIGTA oftentimes will uncover evidence of 
violations of law that fall within the investigative jurisdiction of 
other law enforcement agencies. To promote effective law enforcement, 
TIGTA will refer this evidence to other law enforcement agencies, 
including State, local and foreign agencies, that have jurisdiction 
over the offenses to which the information relates. If required to 
adhere to the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(1), TIGTA might be placed 
in the position of having to ignore information relating to violations 
of law not within its jurisdiction when that information comes to 
TIGTA's attention during the collection and analysis of information in 
its records.
    (8) 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(2) requires an agency to collect information 
to the greatest extent practicable directly from the subject individual 
when the information may result in adverse determinations about an 
individual's rights, benefits, and privileges under Federal programs. 
The application of this provision to the above-referenced systems of 
records would impair TIGTA's ability to collect, analyze, and 
disseminate investigative, intelligence, and enforcement information. 
During criminal investigations it is often a matter of sound 
investigative procedure to obtain information from a variety of sources 
to verify the accuracy of the information obtained. TIGTA often 
collects information about the subject of a criminal investigation from 
third parties, such as witnesses and informants. It is usually not 
feasible to rely upon the subject of the investigation as a credible 
source for information regarding his or her alleged criminal 
activities. An attempt to obtain information from the subject of a 
criminal investigation will often alert that individual to the 
existence of an investigation, thereby affording the individual an 
opportunity to attempt to conceal his criminal activities so as to 
avoid apprehension.
    (9) 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(3) requires an agency to inform each 
individual, whom it asks to supply information, of the agency's 
authority for soliciting the information, whether disclosure of 
information is voluntary or mandatory, the principal purposes for which 
the agency will use the information, the routine uses that may be made 
of the information, and the effects on the individual of not providing 
all or part of the information. The above-referenced systems of records 
should be exempted from these provisions to avoid impairing TIGTA's 
ability to collect and maintain investigative material. Confidential 
sources or undercover law enforcement officers often obtain information 
under circumstances in which it is necessary to keep the true purpose 
of their actions secret so as not to let the subject of the 
investigation or his or her associates know that a criminal 
investigation is in progress. Further, application of this provision 
could result in an unwarranted invasion of the personal privacy of the 
subject of the criminal investigation, particularly where further 
investigation reveals that the subject was not involved in any criminal 
activity.
    (10) 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(5) requires an agency to maintain all records 
it uses in making any determination about any individual with such 
accuracy, relevance, timeliness, and completeness as is reasonably 
necessary to assure fairness to the individual in the determination. 
Since 5 U.S.C. 552a(a)(3) defines ``maintain'' to include ``collect'' 
and ``disseminate,'' application of this provision to the systems of 
records would hinder the initial collection of any information that 
could not, at the moment of collection, be determined to be accurate, 
relevant, timely, and complete. In collecting information during a 
criminal investigation, it is often neither possible nor feasible to 
determine accuracy, relevance, timeliness, or completeness at the time 
that the information is collected. Information that may initially 
appear inaccurate, irrelevant, untimely, or incomplete may, when 
analyzed with other available information, become more relevant as an 
investigation progresses. Compliance with the records maintenance 
criteria listed in the foregoing provision would require the periodic 
review of TIGTA's investigative records to insure that the records 
maintained in the system remain timely, accurate, and complete.
    (11) 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(8) requires an agency to make reasonable 
efforts to serve notice on an individual when the agency makes any 
record on the individual available to any person under compulsory legal 
process, when such process becomes a matter of public record. The 
above-referenced systems of records should be exempted from this 
provision to avoid revealing investigative techniques and procedures 
outlined in those records and to prevent revelation of the existence of 
an ongoing investigation where there is need to keep the existence of 
the investigation secret.
    (12) 5 U.S.C. 552a(g) provides for civil remedies to an individual 
when an agency wrongfully refuses to amend a record or to review a 
request for amendment, when an agency wrongfully refuses to grant 
access to a record, when an agency fails to maintain accurate, 
relevant, timely, and complete records which are used to make a 
determination adverse to the individual, and when an agency fails to 
comply with any other provision of 5 U.S.C. 552a so as to adversely 
affect the individual. The investigatory information in the above-
referenced systems of records should be exempted from this provision to 
the extent that the civil remedies may relate to provisions of 5 U.S.C. 
552a from which these rules exempt the systems of records, since there 
should be no civil remedies for failure to comply with provisions from 
which TIGTA is exempted. Exemption from this provision will also 
protect TIGTA from baseless civil court actions that might hamper its 
ability to collect, analyze, and disseminate investigative, 
intelligence, and law enforcement data.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2), the head of a Federal agency may 
promulgate rules to exempt a system of records from certain provisions 
of 5 U.S.C. 552a if the system of records is ``investigatory material 
compiled for law enforcement purposes, other than material within the 
scope of subsection (j)(2).'' To the extent that these systems of 
records contain investigative material within the provisions of 5 
U.S.C. 552a(k)(2), the Department of the Treasury proposes to exempt 
the following systems of records from various provisions of the Privacy 
Act pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2):

DO .303-TIGTA General Correspondence;
DO .307-TIGTA Employee Relations Matters, Appeals, Grievances, and 
Complaint Files;
DO .308-TIGTA Data Extracts;
DO .309-TIGTA Chief Counsel Case Files, and
DO .310-TIGTA Chief Counsel Disclosure Section Records.

    The proposed exemption under 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2) for the above-
referenced systems of records is from provisions 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3), 
(d), (e)(1), (e)(2), (e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(H), (e)(4)(I), and (f).
    The following are the reasons why the investigative material 
contained in the above-referenced systems of records maintained by 
TIGTA are exempt from various provisions pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 
552a(k)(2).
    (1) 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3) requires an agency to make accountings of 
disclosures of a record available to the individual named in the record 
upon his or her request. The accountings must state the date, nature, 
and purpose of each disclosure of the record and the

[[Page 55019]]

name and address of the recipient. Making accountings of disclosures 
available to the subjects of investigations would alert them to the 
fact that TIGTA is conducting an investigation into their activities as 
well as identifying the nature, scope, and purpose of that 
investigation. The subjects of investigations, if provided an 
accounting of disclosures would be able to take measures to avoid 
detection or apprehension by destroying or concealing evidence that 
would form the basis for detection or apprehension.
    (2) 5 U.S.C. 552a(d)(1), (e)(4)(H) and (f)(2), (3) and (5) grant 
individuals access to records pertaining to them. Disclosure of this 
information to the subjects of investigations would provide individuals 
with information concerning the nature and scope of any current 
investigation and may enable them to avoid detection or apprehension, 
enable them to destroy or alter evidence of criminal conduct that would 
form the basis for their arrest, and could impede or impair TIGTA's 
ability to investigate the matter. In addition, permitting access to 
investigative files and records could disclose the identity of 
confidential sources and the nature of the information supplied by the 
informant as well as endanger the physical safety of those sources by 
exposing them to possible reprisals for having provided the 
information. Confidential sources and informers might refuse to provide 
TIGTA with valuable information unless they believed that their 
identities would not be revealed through disclosure of their names or 
the nature of the information they supplied. Loss of access to such 
sources would seriously impair TIGTA's ability to perform its law 
enforcement responsibilities. Furthermore, providing access to records 
contained in the systems of records could reveal the identities of 
undercover law enforcement officers who compiled information regarding 
the individual's criminal activities and thereby endanger the physical 
safety of those undercover officers by exposing them to possible 
reprisals. Permitting access in keeping with these provisions would 
discourage other law enforcement and regulatory agencies, foreign and 
domestic, from freely sharing information with TIGTA and thus would 
restrict its access to information necessary to accomplish its mission.
    (3) 5 U.S.C. 552a(d)(2), (3) and (4), (e)(4)(H), and (f)(4) permit 
an individual to request amendment of a record pertaining to the 
individual and require the agency either to amend the record, or to 
note the disputed portion of the record and to provide a copy of the 
individual's statement of disagreement with the agency's refusal to 
amend a record to persons or other agencies to whom the record is 
thereafter disclosed. Since these provisions depend upon the individual 
having access to his or her records, and since these rules exempt the 
systems of records from the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a relating to 
access to records, for the reasons set out in the preceding paragraph 
of this section, these provisions should not apply to the systems of 
records.
    (4) 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(1) requires an agency to maintain in its 
records only such information about an individual as is relevant and 
necessary to accomplish a purpose of the agency required to be 
accomplished by statute or executive order. The term ``maintain,'' as 
defined in 5 U.S.C. 552a(a)(3), includes ``collect'' and 
``disseminate.'' The application of this provision could impair TIGTA's 
ability to collect and disseminate valuable law enforcement 
information. In the early stages of investigation, it may be impossible 
to determine whether information collected is relevant and necessary, 
and information that initially appears irrelevant and unnecessary often 
may, upon further evaluation or upon collection of additional 
information, prove particularly relevant and necessary to the 
investigation. Compliance with the records maintenance provisions would 
require TIGTA to periodically up-date the investigatory information it 
collects and maintains to insure that the records in these systems 
remain timely, accurate, and complete. Further, TIGTA oftentimes will 
uncover evidence of violations of law that fall within the 
investigative jurisdiction of other law enforcement agencies. To 
promote effective law enforcement, TIGTA will refer this evidence to 
other law enforcement agencies, including State, local and foreign 
agencies, that have jurisdiction over the offenses to which the 
information relates. If required to adhere to the provisions of 5 
U.S.C. 552a(e)(1), TIGTA might be placed in the position of having to 
ignore information relating to violations of law not within its 
jurisdiction when that information comes to the TIGTA's attention 
during the collection and analysis of information in its records.
    (5) U.S.C. 552a(e)(4)(G) and (f)(1) enable individuals to inquire 
whether a system of records contains records pertaining to them. 
Application of these provisions to the above-referenced systems of 
records would allow individuals to learn whether they have been 
identified as subjects of investigation. Access to such knowledge would 
impair TIGTA's ability to carry out its mission, since individuals 
could take steps to avoid detection and destroy or hide evidence needed 
to prove the violation.
    (6) 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4)(I) requires an agency to publish a general 
notice listing the categories of sources for information contained in a 
system of records. Revealing sources of information could disclose 
investigative techniques and procedures, result in threats or reprisals 
against confidential informants by the subjects of investigations, and 
cause confidential informants to refuse to give full information to 
criminal investigators for fear of having their identities as sources 
disclosed.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(5), the head of a Federal agency may 
promulgate rules to exempt a system of records from certain provisions 
of 5 U.S.C. 552a if the system of records is ``investigatory material 
compiled solely for the purpose of determining suitability, 
eligibility, or qualifications for Federal civilian employment, 
military service, Federal contracts, or access to classified 
information'' to the extent that the disclosure of such material would 
reveal the identify of a source who furnished information under an 
express promise that the identity of the source would be held in 
confidence. The Department of the Treasury proposes to exempt the DO 
.306 TIGTA--Recruiting and Placement Records systems of records from 
provisions 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3), (d), (e)(1), (e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(H), 
(e)(4)(I), and (f).
    The following are the reasons why these systems of records 
maintained by TIGTA are exempt from various provisions pursuant to 5 
U.S.C. 552a(k)(5).
    (1) The sections of 5 U.S.C. 552a from which the systems of records 
are exempt include in general those providing for individuals' access 
to or amendment of records. When such access or amendment would cause 
the identity of a confidential source to be revealed, it would impair 
the future ability of TIGTA to compile investigatory material for the 
purpose of determining suitability, eligibility, or qualifications for 
Federal civilian employment, Federal contracts, or access to classified 
information. In addition, the systems shall be exempt from 5 U.S.C. 
552a(e)(1) which requires that an agency maintain in its records only 
such information about an individual as is relevant and necessary to 
accomplish a purpose of the agency required to be accomplished by 
statute or executive order. To fulfill the requirements of 5 U.S.C. 
552a(e)(1)

[[Page 55020]]

would unduly restrict TIGTA in its information gathering inasmuch as it 
is often not until well after the investigation that it is possible to 
determine the relevance and necessity of particular information.
    (2) If any investigatory material contained in the above-named 
systems becomes involved in criminal or civil matters, exemptions of 
such material under 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) or (k)(2) is hereby claimed.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(6), the head of a Federal agency may 
promulgate rules to exempt a system of records from certain provisions 
of 5 U.S.C. 552a if the system of records is ``testing or examination 
material used solely to determine individual qualifications for 
appointment or promotion in the Federal service.'' The Department of 
the Treasury proposes to exempt the DO.306--TIGTA Recruiting and 
Placement systems of records from provisions 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3), (d), 
(e)(1), (e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(H), (e)(4)(I), and (f).
    The reason for exempting the system of records from various 
provisions pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(6) is that disclosure of the 
material in the system would compromise the objectivity or fairness of 
the examination process.
    Any information from a system of records for which an exemption is 
claimed under 5 U.S.C. 552a(j) or (k) which is also included in another 
system of records retains the same exempt status such information has 
in the system for which such exemption is claimed.
    The Department of the Treasury has determined that this proposed 
rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order 
13132.
    Pursuant to the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 
U.S.C. 601-612, for the reasons set forth above, it is hereby certified 
that this rule will not have significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities.
    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 proposed rule would not impose new recordkeeping, 
application, reporting, or other types of information collection 
requirements.
