DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Office of the Secretary


National Business Center, Financial Management & Budget 
Directorate; Privacy Act of 1974, as Amended; Amendments to Existing 
System of Records

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, National Business Center, Financial 
Management & Budget Directorate, Interior.

ACTION: Proposed amendment to an existing System of Records notice.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5 
U.S.C. 552a), the Office of the Secretary, National Business Center, 
Financial Management & Budget Directorate (NBC/FMB) is issuing public 
notice of its intent to modify an existing Privacy Act system of 
records, OS-13, ``Aircraft Services Administrative Management and 
Fiscal Records'' (formerly known as OS-08 and as OAS-2). The revisions 
will reflect a transfer of system ownership from the previous Office of 
Aircraft Services to the NBC--Financial Management & Budget Directorate 
(FMB), and will clarify and standardize the number of the system.

DATES: Comments must be received by November 4, 2009.

information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be 
able to do so.

Center, Financial Management & Budget Directorate, 1849 C Street, NW 
(MS 1346), Washington, DC 20240. You may also telephone (202) 208-3119.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NBC/FMB is proposing to amend the system 
notice for INTERIOR/OS-8, ``Aircraft Services Administrative Management 
and Fiscal Records'' to identify a transfer of system ownership from 
the old Office of Aircraft Services to the NBC/FMB. Additionally, the 
number for this system of records, ``Aircraft Services Administrative 
Management and Fiscal Records,'' has previously been OS-08 and OAS-2, 
but is hereby revised to OS-13 to standardize the number within the 
Office of the Secretary numbering system. The changes identified to the 
system will be 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.
