SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On May 22, 2007, OMB issued Memorandum M-07-16, Safeguarding
Against and Responding to the Breach of Personally Identifiable
Information, which required Federal agencies to publish a routine use
for their systems of records specifically applying to the disclosure of
information in connection with response and remedial efforts in the
event of a breach of personally identifiable information. FWS published
a notice in the Federal Register in 2008 to modify all FWS system of
records by adding a routine use in their ``ROUTINE USES'' section to
address the limited disclosure of records related to a suspected or
confirmed breach within DOI consistent with OMB M-07-16. In 2015, FWS
published a modified system of records notice for the INTERIOR/FWS-26,
Migratory Bird and Harvest Survey, system of records, which erroneously
omitted the breach routine use required by OMB M-07-16.
On January 3, 2017, OMB issued Memorandum M-17-12, Preparing for
and Responding to a Breach of Personally Identifiable Information,
which rescinded and replaced OMB M-07-16. This memorandum requires
agencies to publish two routine uses for their systems of records
specifically applying to the disclosure of information in connection
with response and remedial efforts in the event of a breach of PII.
Specifically, OMB M-17-12 requires that agency Senior Agency Officials
for Privacy ensure that their agency SORNs include routine uses for the
disclosure of information necessary to respond to that agency's breach
of PII. Additionally, OMB M-17-12 requires that a breach routine use be
added to all agency SORNs to ensure that agencies are able to disclose
records in their systems of records to another Federal agency that may
reasonably be needed by that agency to respond to a breach of PII.
FWS is publishing this notice to modify the SORNs identified below
to revise the existing breach routine use to address the limited
disclosure of records related to a suspected or confirmed breach within
DOI and to correct the omission of the original breach routine use in
the INTERIOR/FWS-26, Migratory Birds and Harvesting Survey, SORN
published in 2015. This notice also adds a new breach routine use for
the limited disclosure of records that may reasonably be needed by
another agency to respond to a breach in accordance with OMB M-17-12.
These modifications will ensure FWS can respond to a suspected or
confirmed breach within DOI and assist other agencies in responding to
a confirmed or suspected breach, as appropriate, pursuant to OMB M-17-
12. Moving forward all new and significantly modified SORNs published
by FWS will include the breach response routine uses consistent with
the requirements outlined in OMB M-17-12. This notice hereby adds the
two routine uses required by OMB M-17-12 to the system notices listed
below.
