SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 10, 2006 the President established 
the Identity Theft Task Force by Executive Order 13402 to strengthen 
Federal efforts to protect against identity theft. This notice 
establishes a routine use for all Department of Commerce systems of 
records to permit disclosure to appropriate persons or entities for 
purposes of response and remedial efforts in the event of a suspected 
or confirmed breach of the data contained in the systems. This routine 
use will facilitate an effective response to such breach by allowing 
for disclosure to those individuals affected by the breach, as well as 
to others who are in a position to assist the Department's response 
efforts, either by assisting in notification to affected individuals or 
otherwise assisting in preventing, minimizing, or remedying harms from 
any breach. A description of the amendment to the Department's systems 
of records is provided below.
