FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION


Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission.

ACTION: Rescindment of a system of records notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Trade Commission (FTC or Commission) is issuing a 
public notification of its intent to rescind the Privacy Act System of 
Records Notice (SORN) on the Staff Time and Activity Reporting (STAR) 
System-FTC (FTC-II-13) and remove it from its existing inventory of 
SORNs.

DATES: This change is effective on September 30, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Interested parties may file a comment online or on paper. 
Write ``Privacy Act SORN Rescindment'' on your comment and file your 
comment online at https://www.regulations.gov by following the 
instructions on the web-based form. If you prefer to file your comment 
on paper, mail your comment to the following address: Federal Trade 
Commission, Office of the Secretary, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Suite 
CC-5610 (Annex J), Washington, DC 20580. Because your comment will 
become publicly available at https://www.regulations.gov, you are 
solely responsible for making sure your comment does not include any 
sensitive or confidential information. Comments containing material for 
which confidential treatment is requested must be filed in paper form, 
must be clearly labeled ``Confidential,'' and must comply with FTC Rule 
4.9(c), 16 CFR 4.9(c).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: G. Richard Gold, Attorney, Office of 
the General Counsel, FTC, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 
20580, (202-326-3355).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy 
Act of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the FTC is rescinding the Staff 
Time and Activity Reporting (STAR) System-FTC (FTC-II-13) system of 
records notice and removing it from its system of records inventory. 
During a review of agency SORNs, the Commission determined that the 
STAR SORN was written to describe a database that has been 
decommissioned and no longer exists.
    The STAR System combined matter data as well as time and attendance 
data for FTC employees. The FTC will continue to separately maintain 
matter-related data in its Matter Management System (FTC-I-5) about 
individual employee participation in such matters, and also maintain 
employee time and attendance data in its employee payroll system (FTC-
III-1).
    This rescindment will eliminate an unnecessary duplicate notice and 
ensure compliance with the Privacy Act of 1974 and the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-108, Federal Agency 
Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, and Publication under the 
Privacy Act. Rescinding the STAR SORN will have no adverse impacts on 
individuals and will also promote the overall streamlining and 
management of FTC Privacy Act systems of records.

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:
    Staff Time and Activity Reporting (STAR) System--FTC (FTC-II-13).

HISTORY:
    85 FR 16349, 16352-53 (March 23, 2020).

    By direction of the Commission.
April J. Tabor,
Secretary.
