OVERSEAS PRIVATE INVESTMENT CORPORATION

22 CFR Part 707

[No. PA-2013]


Privacy Act

AGENCY: Overseas Private Investment Corporation.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: This rule proposes revisions to the Overseas Private 
Investment Corporation's (``OPIC'') Privacy Act (``PA'') regulations by 
making substantive and administrative changes. These revisions are 
intended to supersede OPIC's current PA regulations, located at this 
Part. The proposed rule updates the agency's address, makes 
administrative changes to reflect OPIC's cost, and organizes the 
regulations to more closely match those of other agencies for ease of 
reference.

DATES: Written comments must be postmarked and electronic comments must 
be submitted on or before January 6, 2014. Comments will be available 
for public review.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket Number PA-
2013, by one of the following methods:
     Email: [email protected]. Include docket number PA-2013 in the 
subject line of the message.
     Mail: Nichole Cadiente, Administrative Counsel, Overseas 
Private Investment Corporation, 1100 New York Avenue NW., Washington, 
DC 20527. Include docket number PA-2013 on both the envelope and the 
letter.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nichole Cadiente, Administrative 
Counsel, (202) 336-8400, or [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The revision of Part 707 incorporates 
changes to the language and structure of the regulations. Requesters 
are now provided more detail on the types of identity verification that 
may suffice for PA requests.
    In general, comments received, including attachments and other 
supporting materials, are part of the public record and are available 
to the public. Do not submit any information in your comment or 
supporting materials that you consider confidential or inappropriate 
for public disclosure.

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.)

    Pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., 
the head of OPIC has certified that this proposed rule, as promulgated, 
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
small entities. The proposed rule implements the PA, a statute 
concerning access to and corrections to records about an individual, 
and does not economically impact Federal Government relations with the 
private sector. Further, under the PA, agencies may recover only the 
direct costs of duplicating the records processes for requesters. Based 
on OPIC's experience, these fees are nominal.

Executive Order 12866

    OPIC is exempted from the requirements of this Executive Order

[[Page 73467]]

per the Office of Management and Budget's October 12, 1993 memorandum. 
Accordingly, OMB did not review this proposed rule. However this rule 
was generally composed with the principles stated in section 1(b) of 
the Executive Order in mind.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 202-05)

    This proposed rule will not result in the expenditure by State, 
local, and tribal governments in the aggregate, or by the private 
sector, of $100,000,000 or more in any one year, and it will not 
significantly or uniquely affect small governments. Therefore, no 
actions were deemed necessary under the provisions of the Unfunded 
Mandates Reform Act of 1995.

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (5 U.S.C. 
801 et seq.)

    This proposed rule is not a major rule as defined by section 804 of 
the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996. This 
regulation will not result in an annual effect on the economy of 
$100,000,000 or more; a major increase in costs or prices; or 
significant adverse effects on competition, employment, investment, 
productivity, innovation, or on the ability of United State based 
companies to compete with foreign-based companies in domestic and 
export markets.

Subpart A General


Sec.  707.11  Scope and purpose.

    This part applies to all records in systems of records maintained 
by OPIC that are retrievable by an individual's name or personal 
identifier. The rules in this part describe the procedures by which 
individuals may request access to records about themselves, request 
amendment or correction of those records, or request an accounting of 
disclosures of records by OPIC. These rules should be read in 
conjunction with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, which provides 
additional information about records maintained on individuals.


Sec.  707.12  Definitions.

    As used in this part:
    (a) Individual means a citizen of the United States or an alien 
lawfully admitted for permanent residence;
    (b) Maintain includes maintain, collect, use, or disseminate;
    (c) Record means any item, collection, or grouping of information 
about an individual that is maintained by an agency, including, but not 
limited to, his education, financial transactions, medical history, and 
criminal or employment history and that contains his name, or the 
identifying number, symbol, or other identifying particular assigned to 
the individual, such as a finger or voice print or photograph;
    (d) System of records mean a group of any records under the control 
of OPIC from which information is retrieved by the name of the 
individual or by some identifying number, symbol, or other identifying 
particular assigned to the individual;
    (e) Statistical record means a record in a system of records 
maintained for statistical research or reporting purposes only and not 
used in whole or in part in making any determination about an 
identifiable individual, except as provided by 13 U.S.C. Sec.  8;
    (f) Routine use means, with respect to the disclosure of a record, 
the use of such record for a purpose which is compatible with the 
purpose for which it was collected.


Sec.  707.13  Preservation of records.

    OPIC preserves all correspondence pertaining to the requests that 
it receives under this part, as well as copies of all requested 
records, until disposition or destruction is authorized pursuant to 
title 44 of the United States Code or the General Records Schedule 14 
of the National Archives and Records Administration. Records that are 
identified as responsive to a request will not be disposed of or 
destroyed while they are the subject of a pending request, appeal, or 
lawsuit under the Privacy Act.

Subpart B Requests for access to records; amendment of records, 
accounting of disclosures. Notice of court ordered disclosures


Sec.  707.21  Requests for access to or copies of records.

    (a) How to submit. An individual may request access to or copies of 
records maintained by OPIC that are retrieved by an individual's 
personal identifier. To make a request for records a requester must 
submit a written request to the Vice President of Human Resources 
Management either by mail or delivery to Overseas Private Investment 
Corporation, 1100 New York Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20527 or 
electronic mail to [email protected]. The envelope or subject line 
should read ``Privacy Act Request'' to ensure proper routing. Access to 
records maintained by OPIC will be provided only by appointment. No 
officer or employee of OPIC shall provide an individual with any 
records under this part until a written request as described in 
paragraph (b) of this section is provided and the identity of the 
individual is verified as described in paragraph (c).
    (b) Information to include. All requests under this section must:
    (1) Be in writing and be signed by the requester. Unless the 
requester is a current officer or employee of OPIC, the letter must 
also be duly acknowledged before a notary public or other authorized 
public official or signed under 28 U.S.C. 1746, a law that permits 
statements to be made under penalty of perjury as a substitute for 
notarization;
    (2) Provide information sufficient to verify the identity of the 
requester, including the requester's full name, current address, date 
of birth, place of birth, or the system of record identification name 
or number. Also include a clearly legible copy of a valid form of 
identification. If the request is being made by a parent or guardian on 
behalf of another, also include the same information for the individual 
who is the subject of the request along with a

[[Page 73468]]

court order, birth certificate, or similar document proving the 
guardianship. OPIC will review the sufficiency of identity evidence 
under paragraph (c) of this section;
    (3) Provide information sufficient to accurately identify the 
records or information so that OPIC staff can locate the records with a 
reasonable amount of effort. At minimum this should include the full 
name, the system of record identification name, or the system 
identification number for the individual who is the subject of the 
records. Provision of a social security number is optional. If 
possible, also include a description of the records as well as 
providing a record creation time range and the name of the systems that 
should be searched. A description of OPIC's system of records can be 
located in the ``Privacy Act Compilation'' published by the National 
Archives and Records Administration's Office of the Federal Register. 
Each system of records is also published in the Federal Register;
    (4) Specify whether the individual wishes access to or copies of 
the information pertaining to him. If access is requested, provide at 
least one preferred date and hour for which an appointment is requested 
during regular business hours as provided in paragraph (a). OPIC 
encourages appointments to be made at least one week in advance and for 
a requester to provide at least three preferred appointment times; and
    (5) Include an agreement to pay fees or an agreement to pay fees up 
to a specified amount under Sec.  707.27. A request that does not 
include an agreement to pay fees will be considered an agreement to pay 
fees up to $25.00.
    (c) Verification of identity. Prior to providing any requested 
information about an individual, the Vice President of Human Resources 
Management shall verify the identity of the individual. If the 
requester is acting as the guardian of the individual who is the 
subject of the records, the Vice President of Human Resources 
Management will also verify the identity of the individual who is the 
subject of the records, the relationship between the requester and the 
subject individual, and that the requester is acting on behalf of the 
subject individual. In order to verify identity, the Vice President of 
Human Resources Management shall require the individual to provide 
reasonable proof of identity such as a valid driver's license, 
identification card, passport, employee identification card, or any 
other identifying information. The Vice President of Human Resources 
Management shall deny any request where she determines, at her sole 
discretion, that the evidence offered to verify the identity of an 
individual is insufficient to conclusively establish the identity of 
the individual.
    (d) Release of records. Originals and record copies will not be 
released from the files of OPIC. Individuals will not be permitted to 
disturb any record files or to remove records from designated place of 
examination. If copies were requested in the request letter, copies 
will be furnished upon payment of the fees prescribed in Sec.  707.27.
    (e) Denial of request. If the Vice President of Human Resources 
Management declines any request submitted under this section, the 
denial will be made in writing and contain a brief description of the 
denial. Denials include a determination that an individual has not 
provided adequate evidence to verify identity under paragraph (c) of 
this section, a determination that the record cannot be located, and a 
withholding of a record in whole or in part. In the event of a denial, 
the requester may file a written appeal within thirty days of the date 
of notification, following the procedures in Sec.  707.25.


Sec.  707.22  Requests to permit access of records to an individual 
other than the individual to whom the record pertains.

    (a) Access by an authorized individual. An individual requester who 
wishes to be accompanied by another individual when reviewing records 
pertaining to the requester must provide OPIC with a signed, written 
statement authorizing discussion of the information contained in the 
records in the presence of the accompanying individual. Both parties 
will be required to verify their identity under Sec.  707.21(c) before 
access is granted.
    (b) Release to an authorized individual. An individual requester 
who wishes to have copies of records pertaining to the requester 
released to another individual must provide OPIC with a written 
statement authorizing release of the information contained in the 
records to the other individual. The identity of the individual to whom 
the record pertains must be verified under Sec.  707.21(c) before 
release is authorized.
    (c) Access or release to parent or guardian. Guardians will be 
provided access or copies under the provisions of Sec.  707.21.


Sec.  707.23  Requests for amendment of records.

    (a) How to submit. Unless a record is not subject to amendment, per 
paragraphs (g) and (h), an individual may request an amendment of a 
record to correct information the individual believes is not accurate, 
relevant, timely, or complete. The request must be in writing, labeled 
``Privacy Act Request,'' and should be addressed to the Vice President 
of Human Resources Management. The request may either be mailed to OPIC 
or delivered to the receptionist at 1100 New York Avenue NW., 
Washington, DC 20527, during regular business hours, between 8:45 a.m. 
and 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding public holidays. The 
request will be considered received when actually delivered to or, if 
mailed, when it is actually received by the Vice President of Human 
Resources Management.
    (b) Information to include. All requests under this section must:
    (1) Be in writing and be signed by the requester. Unless the 
requester is a current officer or employee of OPIC, the letter must 
also be duly acknowledged before a notary public or other authorized 
public official or signed under 28 U.S.C. 1746, a law that permits 
statements to be made under penalty of perjury as a substitute for 
notarization;
    (2) Provide information sufficient to verify the identity of the 
requester, including the requester's full name, current address, date 
of birth, place of birth, or the system of record identification name 
or number. Also include a clearly legible copy of a valid form of 
identification. If the request is being made by a parent or guardian on 
behalf of another, also include the same information for the individual 
who is the subject of the request along with a court order, birth 
certificate, or similar document proving the guardianship. OPIC will 
review the sufficiency of identity evidence under paragraph (c) of this 
section;
    (3) Provide information sufficient to accurately identify each 
record so that OPIC staff can locate the record and information with a 
reasonable amount of effort. At minimum this should include the full 
name, the system of record identification name, or the system record 
identification number for the individual who is the subject of the 
records and the name for each system that you believe the record is 
located in. Provision of a social security number is optional. If 
possible, you should also include a description of the records and 
provide a record creation time range. A description of OPIC's systems 
of records can be located in the ``Privacy Act Compilation'' published 
by the National Archives and Records Administration's Office of the 
Federal Register. Each system of records is also published in the 
Federal Register;
    (4) Specify the correction requested; and

[[Page 73469]]

    (5) Detail the basis for the requester's belief that the records 
and information are not accurate, relevant, timely, or complete. This 
includes providing substantial and reliable evidence sufficient to 
permit OPIC to determine whether an amendment is in order.
    Any request that Vice President of Human Resources Management 
determines does not describe records or information in enough detail to 
permit the staff to promptly locate the records; does not describe the 
correction requested in enough detail to permit the staff to make a 
correction; or does not reasonably specify the amendment requested or 
its basis will be returned without prejudice to the requester and 
treated as not received.
    (c) Verification of identity. Prior to amending information about 
an individual, the Vice President of Human Resources Management shall 
verify the identity of the requesting individual. If the requester is 
acting as the guardian of the individual who is the subject of the 
records, the Vice President of Human Resources Management will also 
verify the identity of the individual who is the subject of the 
records, the relationship between the requester and the subject 
individual, and that the requester is acting on behalf of the subject 
individual. In order to verify identity, the Vice President of Human 
Resources Management shall require the individual to provide reasonable 
proof of identity such as a valid driver's license, identification 
card, passport, employee identification card, or any other identifying 
information. The Vice President of Human Resources Management shall 
deny any request where she determines, at her sole discretion, that the 
evidence offered to verify the identity of an individual is 
insufficient to conclusively establish the identity of the individual.
    (d) Acknowledgment of request. If a request will take longer than 
ten (10) business days to process, OPIC will send the requester an 
acknowledgment letter.
    (e) Determination. The Vice President of Human Resources Management 
will provide a determination on a request under this section within 
thirty (30) days from receipt.
    (1) Amendment. The Vice President of Human Resources Management 
will notify the requester in writing if the amendment is made and 
provide the individual an opportunity to request a copy of the amended 
record.
    (2) Denial. The Vice President of Human Resources Management will 
notify the requester in writing if she denies any portion of a request 
made under this section. The denial will include a brief explanation of 
the reason for the refusal and the right of the individual to file an 
appeal within thirty (30) days, following the procedures in Sec.  
707.25. In the event an appeal is denied, a requester may file a 
statement of disagreement with OPIC as described in Sec.  707.25(c).
    (f) Notification of amendment. Within thirty (30) days of the 
amendment or correction of a record or the filing of a statement of 
disagreement, OPIC will notify all persons, organizations, or agencies 
to which it previously disclosed the record, if an accounting of that 
disclosure was made. If an individual has filed a statement of 
disagreement, OPIC will attach a copy of it to the disputed record 
whenever the record is disclosed in the future and may also attach a 
concise statement of its reasons for denying the request to amend or 
correct.
    (g) Records not subject to amendment. The following records are not 
subject to amendment:
    (1) Transcripts of testimony given under oath or written statements 
made under oath;
    (2) Transcripts of grand jury proceedings, judicial proceedings, or 
quasi-judicial proceedings, which are the official record of those 
proceedings;
    (3) Presentence records that originated with the courts; and
    (4) Records in systems of records that have been exempted from 
amendment and correction under the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a(j) or (k) 
or by notice published in the Federal Register.
    (h) No amendment permitted. No part of these rules shall be 
construed to permit:
    (1) The alteration of evidence presented in the course of judicial, 
quasi-judicial, or quasi-legislative proceedings;
    (2) Collateral attack upon any matter which has been the subject of 
judicial or quasi-judicial action; or
    (3) An amendment or correction which would be in violation of an 
existing statute, executive order, or regulation.


Sec.  707.24  Requests for an accounting of record disclosures.

    (a) How to submit. Unless an accounting of disclosures is not 
required to be kept under paragraph (e) of this section, an individual 
may request an accounting of all disclosures OPIC has made of a record, 
maintained in a system of records and about the individual, to another 
person, organization, or agency. The request must be in writing, 
labeled ``Privacy Act Request,'' and should be addressed to the Vice 
President of Human Resources Management. The request may either be 
mailed to OPIC or delivered to the receptionist at 1100 New York Avenue 
NW., Washington, DC 20527, during regular business hours, between 8:45 
a.m. and 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding public holidays. 
The request will be considered received when actually delivered to or, 
if mailed, when it is actually received by the Vice President of Human 
Resources Management.
    (b) Information to include. All requests under this section must:
    (1) Be in writing and be signed by the requester. Unless the 
requester is a current officer or employee of OPIC, the letter must 
also be duly acknowledged before a notary public or other authorized 
public official or signed under 28 USC 1746, a law that permits 
statements to be made under penalty of perjury as a substitute for 
notarization;
    (2) Provide information sufficient to verify the identity of the 
requester, including the requester's full name, current address, date 
of birth, place of birth, or the system of record identification name 
or number. Also include a clearly legible copy of a valid form of 
identification. If the request is being made by a parent or guardian on 
behalf of another, also include the same information for the individual 
who is the subject of the request along with a court order, birth 
certificate, or similar document proving the guardianship. OPIC will 
review the sufficiency of identity evidence under paragraph (c) of this 
section;
    (3) Provide information sufficient to accurately identify the 
records or information so that OPIC staff can locate the records with a 
reasonable amount of effort. At minimum this should include the full 
name, the system of record identification name, or the system record 
identification number for the individual who is the subject of the 
records and the name for each system that you believe the record is 
located in. Provision of a social security number is optional. If 
possible, you should also include a description of the records and 
provide a time range. A description of OPIC's system of records can be 
located in the ``Privacy Act Compilation'' published by the National 
Archives and Records Administration's Office of the Federal Register. 
Each system of records is also published in the Federal Register;
    (4) Include an agreement to pay fees or an agreement to pay fees up 
to a specified amount under Sec.  707.27. A request that does not

[[Page 73470]]

    (c) Verification of identity. Prior to providing any requested 
information about an individual, the Vice President of Human Resources 
Management shall verify the identity of the requesting individual. If 
the requester is acting as the guardian of the individual who is the 
subject of the records, the Vice President of Human Resources 
Management will also verify the identity of the individual who is the 
subject of the records, the relationship between the requester and the 
subject individual, and that the requester is acting on behalf of the 
subject individual. In order to verify identity, the Vice President of 
Human Resources Management shall require the individual to provide 
reasonable proof of identity such as a valid driver's license, 
identification card, passport, employee identification card, or any 
other identifying information. The Vice President of Human Resources 
Management shall deny any request where she determines, at her sole 
discretion, that the evidence offered to verify the identity of an 
individual is insufficient to conclusively establish the identity of 
the individual.
    (d) Determination. The Vice President of Human Resources Management 
will provide a requester with one of the following:
    (1) Provision of accounting of disclosures. If the request is 
granted, the Vice President of Human Resources Management will provide 
the individual with an accounting containing the date, nature, and 
purpose of each disclosure, as well as the name and address of the 
person, organization, or agency to which the disclosure was made.
    (2) Denial. The Vice President of Human Resources Management will 
notify the individual in writing if she denies any portion of a request 
made under this section. The denial will include a brief explanation of 
the reason for the refusal and the right of the individual to request a 
review thereof under the provisions of Sec.  707.25.
    (e) Disclosures where an accounting of disclosures is not required.
    OPIC need not provide an accounting of disclosures where:
    (1) The disclosures are of the type for which accountings are not 
kept. For example, disclosures made to employees within the agency; or
    (2) The disclosure was made in response to a written request from a 
law enforcement agency for authorized law enforcement purposes.


Sec.  707.25  Appeals.

    An individual may appeal a denial made under Sec.  707.21-707.23 
within thirty (30) days of the notification of such denial.
    (a) How to submit. The appeal must be in writing, labeled ``Privacy 
Act Appeal,'' and should be addressed to the Executive Vice President. 
The request may either be mailed to OPIC or delivered to the 
receptionist at 1100 New York Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20527, during 
regular business hours, between 8:45 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., Monday through 
Friday, excluding public holidays.
    (b) Information to include. All requests under this section must:
    (1) Be in writing and be signed by the requester;
    (2) Be clearly labeled ``PRIVACY ACT APPEAL'' on both the letter 
and the envelope;
    (3) Clearly reference the determination being appealed; and
    (4) Provide support for your information, including documentation 
provided in the initial determination and any additional information.
    (b) Appeal determination. The Executive Vice President will advise 
the individual of OPIC's determination within thirty (30) business 
days. If the Executive Vice President is unable to provide a 
determination within thirty business days, the individual will be 
advised in writing of the reason before the expiry of the thirty 
business days.
    (1) Overturn initial determination. If the Executive Vice President 
grants the appeal and overturns the initial determination in whole or 
part, the individual will be notified in writing and the requested 
action taken promptly along with any other steps OPIC would have taken 
had the initial determination come to the same result as the appeal.
    (2) Uphold initial determination. If the Executive Vice President 
denies the appeal and upholds the initial determination in whole or in 
part, the individual will be notified in writing and provided with an 
explanation. In cases where a denial of amendment or correction is 
upheld, the individual will also be notified of the ability to file a 
statement of disagreement under paragraph (c) of this section.
    (c) Statement of disagreement. If an individual is denied a request 
to amend a record in whole or in part and that denial is upheld on 
appeal, the individual may file a statement of disagreement. Statements 
of disagreement must be concise, clearly identify each part of any 
record that is disputed, and should be no longer than one typed page 
for each fact disputed. The statement of disagreement will be placed in 
the system of records that contains the disputed record and the record 
will be marked to indicate that a statement of disagreement has been 
filed. The statement of disagreement will be attached to any future 
releases of the disputed record and may be accompanied by a concise 
statement from OPIC explaining its denial.


Sec.  707.26  Notification of court-ordered disclosures.

    (a) Except in cases under subparagraph (c) of this section, when a 
record pertaining to an individual is required to be disclosed by court 
order, OPIC will make reasonable efforts to provide notice of this to 
the individual. If OPIC cannot locate the individual, notice will be 
deemed sufficient for this part if it is mailed to the individual's 
last known address. The notice will contain a copy of the order and a 
description of the information disclosed.
    (b) Notice will be given within a reasonable time after OPIC's 
receipt of the order, unless the order is not a matter of public 
record. In those cases, the notice will be given only after the order 
becomes public.
    (c) Notice is not required if disclosure is made from an exempt 
system of records.


Sec.  707.27  Fees.

    (1) The fees to be charged for making copies of any records 
provided to an individual under this part are fifteen (15) cents per 
page. No fees will be charged for search or review.
    (2) At its discretion, OPIC may grant a request for special 
services such as mailing copies by means other than first class mail or 
providing document certification. All special services provided to the
