Privacy Act of 1974; Systems of Records

AGENCY: Foreign Claims Settlement Commission, Justice.

ACTION: Revisions of Notice of Privacy Act Systems of Records.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 
U.S.C. 552a, notice is given that the Foreign Claims Settlement 
Commission (``Commission'') is modifying all of its

[[Page 6747]]

Privacy Act Systems of Records, which were identified in the revised 
Table of Contents published in the Federal Register on November 14, 
2006, 71 FR 66,347 (November 14, 2006), and corrected on December 4, 
2006. 71 FR 70,426 (December 4, 2006).
    On November 14, 2006, the Commission published a proposal to modify 
all of its systems of records to include a new routine use that would 
allow disclosure to appropriate persons and entities for purposes of 
response and remedial efforts in the event that there had been a breach 
of the data contained in the systems. 71 FR 66,347 (November 14, 2006). 
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) and (11), the public was given a 
30-day period in which to comment; and the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB), which has oversight responsibility under the Privacy Act, 
required a 40-day period in which to conclude its review of the 
systems.
    As a result of comments received, the Commission is making a minor 
modification to the language of the routine use in order to provide 
greater clarity. A concern was raised that the condition set forth in 
clause (1) of the routine use (``when (1) it is suspected or confirmed 
that the security or confidentiality of information in the system of 
records has been compromised'') does not clearly identify precisely who 
has to suspect or confirm the compromise. While it was the intent of 
the drafters that it be the Commission that must suspect or confirm the 
compromise, because that intent was expressed only implicitly in the 
routine use, the Commission is modifying the language of the first 
condition to provide additional clarity.
    The text of the modification to the Commission's systems of records 
is set forth below. In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), the Department 
has provided a report to OMB and the Congress. The new routine use will 
be effective February 13, 2007.
    Accordingly, pursuant to the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a, the 
Foreign Claims Settlement Commission hereby publishes notice that it is 
supplementing the list of Routine Uses of the Records Maintained in 
each of its Privacy Act Systems of Records, including the Categories of 
Users and the Purposes of Such Uses, by including the following 
additional Routine Use: ``To appropriate agencies, entities, and 
persons when (1) The Commission suspects or has confirmed that the 
security or confidentiality of information in the system of records has 
been compromised; (2) the Commission has determined that as a result of 
the suspected or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to 
economic or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the 
security or integrity of this system or other systems or programs 
(whether maintained by the Commission or another agency or entity) that 
rely upon the compromised information; and (3) the disclosure made to 
such agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to assist 
in connection with the Commission's efforts to respond to the suspected 
or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm.''

Mauricio J. Tamargok,
Chairman.
