DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY


Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: Office of the Chief Information Officer, Department of Energy.

[[Page 82871]]


ACTION: Notice of a modified system of records.

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

SUMMARY: As required by the Privacy Act of 1974 and the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) Circulars A-108 and A-130, the Department 
of Energy (DOE or the Department) is publishing notice of a 
modification of the DOE systems of records notices for the DOE systems 
of records listed in the table. Pursuant to OMB M-17-12, ``Preparing 
for and Responding to a Breach of Personally Identifiable Information'' 
(January 3, 2017), this notice amends the DOE systems of records listed 
in the table by adding two new routine uses to ensure that the 
Department can assist another agency in responding to a confirmed or 
suspected breach, as appropriate.

DATES: This modified system of records notice will become applicable 
following the end of the public comment period on December 27, 2023.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be sent to Ken Hunt, Chief Privacy 
Officer, U.S. Department of Energy, 1000 Independence Avenue SW, Rm 8H-
085, Washington, DC 20585, or by facsimile at (202) 586-8151, or by 
email at [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ken Hunt, Chief Privacy Officer, U.S. 
Department of Energy, 1000 Independence Avenue SW, Rm 8H-085, 
Washington, DC 20585, or by facsimile at (202) 586-8151, or by email at 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 3, 2017, OMB issued Memorandum M-
17-12, ``Preparing for and Responding to a Breach of Personally 
Identifiable Information,'' to the heads of all executive departments 
and agencies. OMB Memorandum M-17-12 rescinds and replaces OMB 
Memorandum M-07-16 and updates agency routine use requirements for 
responding to a breach. Specifically, OMB Memorandum M-17-12 requires 
all Senior Agency Officials for Privacy to ensure that their agency's 
system of records notices include a routine use for the disclosure of 
information necessary to respond to a breach of the agency's personally 
identifiable information. Additionally, OMB Memorandum M-17-12 requires 
agencies to add a routine use to ensure that agencies can disclose 
records in their systems of records that may reasonably be needed by 
another agency in responding to a breach. Therefore, pursuant to OMB 
Memorandum M-17-12, this notice (1) revises the breach response use for 
the DOE systems of records listed below; and (2) adds a new routine use 
to the DOE systems of records listed in the table, to ensure that the 
Department can assist another agency in responding to a confirmed or 
suspected breach, as appropriate.

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:
    First, the systems of records to be modified by including the two 
new routine uses described in this Notice are set forth in the table. 
As these two routine uses are additional new routine uses, please refer 
to the specific individual SORN for other routine uses unchanged by 
this notice. Second, please refer to the specific individual SORN for 
additional governing elements unchanged by this notice.

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES 
OF USERS AND PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:
    1. A record from this system may be disclosed as a routine use to 
appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when (1) the Department 
suspects or has confirmed that there has been a breach of the system of 
records; (2) the Department has determined that as a result of the 
suspected or confirmed breach there is a risk of harm to individuals, 
DOE (including its information systems, programs, and operations), the 
Federal Government, or national security; and (3) the disclosure made 
to such agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to 
assist in connection with the Department's efforts to respond to the 
suspected or confirmed breach or to prevent, minimize, or remedy such 
harm.
    2. A record from this system may be disclosed as a routine use to 
another Federal agency or Federal entity, when the Department 
determines that information from this system of records is reasonably 
necessary to assist the recipient agency or entity in (1) responding to 
a suspected or confirmed breach or (2) preventing, minimizing, or 
remedying the risk of harm to individuals, the recipient agency or 
entity (including its information systems, programs, and operations), 
the Federal Government, or national security, resulting from a 
suspected or confirmed breach.
    These routine uses will be added to each SORN as they are updated 
and republished.
