Privacy Act Exemptions

AGENCY: Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974 (the Act) the 
Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board (FRTIB) is exempting five 
systems of records from certain requirements of the Act.

DATES: This final rule is effective October 21, 2021.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dharmesh Vashee, Senior Agency 
Official for Privacy and General Counsel, Federal Retirement Thrift 
Investment Board, Office of General Counsel, 77 K Street NE, Suite 
1000, Washington, DC 20002, (202) 942-1600.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 13, 2021, FRTIB published a notice 
of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register, 86 FR 44642, to amend 
FRTIB's Privacy Act regulations at 5 CFR part 1630 to exempt five of 
its systems of records, FRTIB-2, FRTIB-13, FRTIB-14, FRTIB-15, and 
FRTIB-23, from certain requirements of the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a. 
The FRTIB promulgated exemptions to the Privacy Act for these five 
systems of records in accordance with subsection (k)(2) and subsection 
(k)(5).
    Comments were invited on the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 
published on August 13, 2021. No comments were received regarding this 
proposed rulemaking. The FRTIB will implement the rulemaking as 
proposed.

Public Comments

    FRTIB received no comments on the NPRM.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    FRTIB certifies that this regulation will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601, et seq.). This rule does not 
impose a requirement for small businesses to report or keep records on 
any of the requirements contained in this rule. The exemptions to the 
Privacy Act apply to individuals, and individuals are not covered 
entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    I certify that these regulations do not require additional 
reporting under the criteria of the Paperwork Reduction Act.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995

    Pursuant to the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995, 2 U.S.C. 602, 
632, 653, 1501 1571, the effects of this regulation on state, local, 
and tribal governments and the private sector have been assessed. This 
regulation will not compel the expenditure in any one year of $100 
million or more by state, local, and tribal governments, in the 
aggregate, or by the private sector. Therefore, a statement under 
section 1532 is not required.

Submission to Congress and the Government Accountability Office

    Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A), the Agency submitted a report 
containing this rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate, 
the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the
