Records

AGENCY: National Endowment for the Arts.

ACTION: Notice of republication of systems of records, proposed systems 
of records, and new routine uses.

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

SUMMARY: The National Endowment for the Arts (Endowment) is publishing 
a notice of its systems of records with descriptions of the systems and 
the ways in which they are maintained, as required by the Privacy Act 
of 1974. This notice reflects administrative changes that have been 
made at the Endowment since the last publication of a notice of its 
systems of records. This notice also will enable individuals who wish 
to access information maintained in Endowment systems to make accurate 
and specific requests for such information.

DATES: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), on June 19, 2008, the 
National Endowment for the Arts filed a report as to the changes 
proposed in this notice with the Committee on Oversight and Government 
Reform of the House of Representatives; the Senate Committee on 
Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs; and the Administrator, 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB). The deadline to submit comments on the Endowment's 
proposed changes will be 30 days from the date the report is submitted 
to Congress and the OMB.

ADDRESSES: Deputy Chairman for Management & Budget; National Endowment 
for the Arts; 400 7th Street SW, Washington, DC 20506; telefax at (202) 
682-5798 or by electronic mail at [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ann Eilers, Deputy Chairman for 
Management & Budget, (202) 682-5534.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4), the 
Endowment is today republishing a notice of the existence and character 
of its systems of records in order to make available in one place in 
the Federal Register the most up-to-date information regarding these 
systems. This republication has become necessary to reflect 
administrative changes, such as agency move, agency restructuring and 
the increased use of electronic technology, that have been made at the 
Endowment since the last publication of a notice of its systems of 
records.

Statement of General Routine Uses

    The following general routine uses are incorporated by this 
reference into each system of records set forth herein, unless 
specifically limited in the system description.
    1. A record may be disclosed as a routine use to a Member of 
Congress or his or her staff, when the Member of Congress or his or her 
staff requests the information on behalf of and at the request of the 
individual who is the subject of the record.
    2. A record may be disclosed as a routine use to designated 
officers and employees of other agencies and departments of the Federal 
government having an interest in the subject individual for employment 
purposes (including the hiring or retention of any employee; the 
issuance of a security clearance; the letting of a contract; or the 
issuance of a license, grant, or other benefit by the requesting 
agency) to the extent that the information is relevant and necessary to 
the requesting agency's decision on the matter involved.
    3. In the event that a record in a system of records maintained by 
the Endowment indicates, either by itself or in combination with other 
information in the Endowment's possession, a violation or potential 
violation of the law (whether civil, criminal, or regulatory in nature, 
and whether arising by statute or by regulation, rule, or order issued 
pursuant thereto), that record may be referred, as a routine use, to 
the appropriate agency, whether Federal, state, local, or foreign, 
charged with the responsibility of investigating or prosecuting such 
violation, or charged with enforcing or implementing the statute, rule, 
regulation, or order issued pursuant thereto. Such referral shall be 
deemed to authorize: (1) Any and all appropriate and necessary uses of 
such records in a court of law or before an administrative board or 
hearing; and (2) Such other interagency referrals as may be necessary 
to carry out the receiving agencies' assigned law enforcement duties.
    4. The names, Social Security numbers, home addresses, dates of 
birth, dates of hire, quarterly earnings, employer identifying 
information, and state of hire of employees may be disclosed as a 
routine use to the Office of Child Support Enforcement, Administration 
for Children and Families, Department of Health and Human Services, as 
follows:
    (a) For use in the Federal Parent Locator System (FPLS) and the 
Federal Tax Offset System for the purpose of locating individuals to 
establish paternity, establishing and modifying orders of child 
support, identifying sources of income, and for other child support 
enforcement actions as required by the Personal Responsibility and Work 
Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-193);
    (b) For release to the Social Security Administration for the 
purpose of verifying Social Security numbers in connection with the

employment on a tax return, as required by the Personal Responsibility 
and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-193).
    5. A record may be disclosed as a routine use in the course of 
presenting evidence to a court, magistrate, or administrative tribunal 
of appropriate jurisdiction, and such disclosure may include 
disclosures to opposing counsel in the course of settlement 
negotiations.
    6. Information from any system of records may be used as a data 
source for management information, for the production of summary 
descriptive statistics and analytical studies in support of the 
function for which the records are collected and maintained, or for 
related personnel management functions or manpower studies. Information 
may also be disclosed to respond to general requests for

[[Page 9392]]

statistical information (without personal identification of 
individuals) under the Freedom of Information Act.
    7. A record may be disclosed as a routine use to a contractor,

audit, or other review of the Endowment's procedures and operations.
    8. A record from any system of records may be disclosed as a 
routine use to the National Archives and Records Administration in 
records management inspections conducted under authority of 44 U.S.C. 
2904 and 2906.
    9. A record may be disclosed to a contractor, grantee, or other 
recipient of Federal funds when the record to be released reflects 
serious inadequacies with the recipient's personnel, and disclosure of 
the record is for the purpose of permitting the recipient to effect 
corrective action in the government's best interests.
    10. A record may be disclosed to a contractor, grantee, or other 
recipient of Federal funds when the recipient has incurred an 
indebtedness to the government through its receipt of government funds, 
and release of the record is for the purpose of allowing the debtor to 
effect a collection against a third party.
    11. Information in a system of records may be disclosed as a 
routine use to the Treasury; other Federal agencies; ``consumer 
reporting agencies'' (as defined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 
U.S.C. 168la(f), or the Federal Claims Collection Act of 1966, 31 
U.S.C. 370(a)(3); or private collection contractors for the purpose of 
collecting a debt owed to the Federal government as provided in the 
regulations promulgated by the Endowment and published at 45 CFR 1150.
    12. To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when (1) the 
Endowment suspects or has confirmed that the security or 
confidentiality of information in the system of record has been 
compromised; (2) the Endowment has determined that as a result of the 
suspected or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to economic 
or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the security 
or integrity of this system or other systems or programs (whether 
maintained by the Endowment or another agency or entity) that rely upon 
the compromised information; and (3) the disclosure made to such 
agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to assist in 
connection with the Endowment's efforts to respond to the suspected or 
confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm.
