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 proposes to modify all of its Privacy Act Systems of 
Records, as identified in the list set forth below, to include a new 
routine use that allows disclosure to former employees for purposes of 
responding to official inquiries by government entities or professional 
licensing authorities in accordance with the Department of Justice 
regulation governing access under such circumstances, 28 CFR 16.300-01. 
The new routine use also allows disclosure to former employees when the 
Department requires information and/or consultation assistance from the 
former employee that is necessary for personnel-related or other 
official purposes regarding a matter within that person's former area 
of responsibility.
    In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) and (11), the public is 
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, requires a 40-day period in which to conclude its review of the 
systems. Therefore, please submit any comments by October 9, 2007. The 
public, OMB, and the Congress are invited to submit any comments to 
David E. Bradley, Chief Counsel, Foreign Claims Settlement Commission, 
Washington, DC 20579 (Room 6002, Bicentennial Building). In accordance 
with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), the Commission has provided a report to OMB and 
the Congress.
    Accordingly, pursuant to the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a, the 
Foreign Claims Settlement Commission hereby publishes notice of its 
proposal to supplement the list of Routine Uses of the Records 
Maintained in each of its below-listed Privacy Act Systems of Records, 
including the Categories of Users and the Purposes of Such Uses, by 
including the following additional Routine Use: ``The Commission may 
disclose relevant and necessary information to a former employee of the 
Commission for purposes of: responding to an official inquiry by a 
federal, state, or local government entity or professional licensing 
authority, in accordance with applicable Department of Justice 
regulations; or facilitating communications with a former employee that 
may be necessary for personnel-related or other official purposes where 
the Commission requires information and/or consultation assistance from
