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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), 
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service of the Department of the Interior is 
issuing public notice of its intent to amend 19 existing Privacy Act 
systems of records notices to add a new routine use to authorize the 
disclosure of records to individuals involved in responding to a breach

effective as proposed at the end of the comment period unless comments 
are received which would require a contrary determination. The 
Department will publish a revised notice if changes are made based upon 
a review of comments received.

ADDRESSES: Any persons interested in commenting on these proposed 
amendments may do so by submitting comments in writing to the U.S. Fish 
and Wildlife Service Privacy Act Officer, Johnny R. Hunt, 4401 North 
Fairfax Drive, Division of Information and Resources Technology 
Management, MS-380, Arlington Square Building, 4401 North Fairfax

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Privacy 
Act Officer, Johnny R. Hunt, 4401 North Fairfax Drive, Division of 
Information and Resources Technology Management, MS-380, Arlington 
Square Building, 4401 North Fairfax Drive, Arlington, VA 22203, or by 
e-mail to [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 22, 2007, in a memorandum for the 
heads of Executive Departments and Agencies entitled ``Safeguarding 
Against and Responding to the Breach of Personally Identifiable 
Information,'' the Office of Management and Budget directed agencies to 
develop and publish a routine use for disclosure of information in 
connection with response and remedial efforts in the event of a data 
breach. This routine use will serve to protect the interests of the 
individuals, whose information is at issue by allowing agencies to take 
appropriate steps to facilitate a timely and effective response to the 
breach, thereby improving the agency's ability to prevent, minimize, or 
remedy any harm resulting from a compromise of data maintained in its 
systems of records. Accordingly, the Fish and Wildlife Service of the 
Department of the Interior is proposing to add a new routine use to 
authorize disclosure to appropriate agencies, entities, and persons of 
information maintained in the following systems in the event of a data 
breach. These amendments will be effective as proposed at the end of 
the comment period unless comments are received that would require a 
contrary determination. We will publish a revised notice if changes are 
made based upon a review of comments received.

Johnny R. Hunt,
 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Privacy Act Officer.
