SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The BLM maintains the INTERIOR/LLM-02, Range Management System,
system of records to help the BLM manage approximately 245 million
acres of public land in accordance with Federal laws. BLM currently
administers the issuance of permits and leases for livestock grazing on
public lands under its jurisdiction and for reindeer in Alaska. BLM
also issues billing notices on an annual basis for the permits and
leases administered. However, the processing of payments for these
bills is not handled by the program.
BLM's Rangeland Management Program consists of multiple information
systems and applications that assist BLM in its operations to ensure
the health and productivity of public rangelands. DOI last published
the INTERIOR/LLM-02, Range Management System, SORN in the Federal
Register at 75 FR 82061 (December 29, 2010); modification published at
86 FR 50156 (September 7, 2021). In this notice, BLM is changing the
system name from INTERIOR/LLM-2, Range Management System, to INTERIOR/
BLM-02, Rangeland Management Program, to reflect the current bureau
designation and expanded scope of the BLM Rangeland Management Program
and updating all sections to provide greater transparency and clearly
describe the records collected, used, and/or maintained as part of the
overall BLM Rangeland Management Program activities.
BLM is updating the system manager information to provide a
centralized point of contact for the entire rangeland program; updating
authorities to cite the specific programmatic authorities for
collecting, maintaining, using, and disseminating the information under
the Rangeland Management Program; and updating the purposes to
articulate the purposes more clearly for the program. BLM is expanding
the categories of individuals and categories of records to more
accurately reflect the types of individuals and program records
contained within the system, and is updating the record source section
to include cooperators. BLM is updating the storage, safeguards, and
records retention schedules sections to reflect current safeguards and
clarify the records retention schedules. BLM is updating the record
access, contesting, and notification procedures sections to incorporate
updated instructions on where to obtain Privacy Act access and consent
forms and submit requests; and making general and administrative
updates to the remaining sections to accurately reflect the management
of the system of records in accordance with OMB Circular A-108, Federal
Agency Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, and Publication under
the Privacy Act. The existing routine uses are being updated from a
numeric to alphabetic list and are being modified to provide clarity
and transparency and reflect updates consistent with standard DOI
routine uses. Additionally, DOI is proposing new routine uses to
facilitate the sharing of information with agencies and organizations
to promote the integrity of the records in the system or carry out a
statutory responsibility of the DOI or Federal government.
Routine use A was slightly modified to further clarify disclosures
to the Department of Justice (DOJ) or other Federal agencies, when
necessary, in relation to litigation or judicial hearings. Routine use
B was modified to clarify disclosures to a congressional office to
respond to or resolve an individual's request made to that office.
Proposed routine use C facilitates the sharing of information with the
Executive Office of the President to resolve issues concerning
individuals' records. Routine use D was modified to include foreign law
enforcement authorities to facilitate sharing of information when
necessary in relation to potential violations of law. Routine use F was
modified to include foreign agencies to facilitate sharing information
when necessary in relation to the hiring, firing or retention of an
individual, or issuance of a security clearance or other benefit.
Routine use H was slightly modified to include sharing of information
with territorial government agencies in response to court orders or for
discovery purposes related to litigation. Routine use I was modified to
include grantees and shared service providers to facilitate sharing of
information when authorized and necessary to perform services on DOI's
behalf. Modified routine use J allows DOI and BLM to share information
with appropriate Federal agencies or entities when reasonably necessary
to respond to a breach of PII and to prevent, minimize, or remedy the
risk of harm to individuals or the Federal government resulting from a
breach in accordance with OMB Memorandum M-17-12, Preparing for and
Responding to a Breach of Personally Identifiable Information. Routine
use N was modified to clarify the sharing of information with the news
media and the public when it is necessary to preserve the confidence in
the integrity of DOI; demonstrate the accountability
[[Page 47171]]
of its officers, employees, or individuals covered in the system; where
there exists a legitimate public interest; or in support of a
legitimate law enforcement or public safety function. Routine use Q was
modified to add Federal and county agencies, businesses, organizations,
and associations to facilitate the administration of duties that
directly relate to livestock grazing permits on BLM administered public
land.
The name and address of grazing permittees may be disclosed based
on the decision in Western Watersheds Project v. Bureau of Land
Management, No. CV 09-482-CWD, 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 95379 (D. Idaho
Sept. 13, 2010). In this case, the Court found that any privacy
interest grazing permittees have in their names and addresses are
minimal and the public interest in disclosing the names and addresses
of permittees is substantial. Therefore, the Court held that the
disclosure of the names and addresses of permittees would not
constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, and that
the Department may not rely on Exemption 6 under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) to withhold this information. Therefore, the BLM
makes the names and addresses of grazing permittees available to the
public under the FOIA through reports published on the BLM official
website and BLM FOIA Reading Room.
II. Privacy Act
The Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, embodies fair information
practice principles in a statutory framework governing the means by
which Federal agencies collect, maintain, use, and disseminate
individuals' records. The Privacy Act applies to records about
individuals that are maintained in a ``system of records.'' A ``system
of records'' is a group of any records under the control of an agency
from which information is retrieved by the name of an individual or by
some identifying number, symbol, or other identifying particular
assigned to the individual. The Privacy Act defines an individual as a
United States citizen or lawful permanent resident. Individuals may
request access to their own records that are maintained in a system of
records in the possession or under the control of DOI by complying with
DOI Privacy Act regulations at 43 CFR part 2, subpart K, and following
the procedures outlined in the Records Access, Contesting Record, and
Notification Procedures sections of this notice.
The Privacy Act requires each agency to publish in the Federal
Register a description denoting the existence and character of each
system of records that the agency maintains, and the routine uses of
each system. The INTERIOR/BLM-02, Rangeland Management Program, SORN is
published in its entirety below. In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a, DOI
has provided a report of this system of records to OMB and Congress.
III. Public Participation
You should be aware your entire comment including your personally
identifiable information, such as your address, phone number, email
address, or any other personal information in your comment, may be made
publicly available at any time. While you may request to withhold your
personally identifiable information from public review, we cannot
guarantee we will be able to do so.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF RECORDS:
Paper records are contained in file folders stored within locked
file cabinets located in restricted access areas at BLM field offices.
Electronic records are stored on disk, system hard drives, tape, or
other appropriate media.
POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF RECORDS:
Records may be retrieved by the grazing authorization number,
permittee, lessee or operator name, allotment number, range improvement
number, or location.
POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND DISPOSAL OF RECORDS:
The Department Records Schedule (DRS)/General Records Schedule
(GRS)/BLM Records Retention Catalog (BRRC) is a combination of
schedules developed and approved by the NARA, DOI and BLM. They
constitute the only legal authority the BLM has to dispose of its
records. Records contained in this system cover rangeland program
management files and have both permanent and temporary dispositions.
Retention periods vary according to the specific record and the needs
of the agency. Therefore, multiple records schedules may apply to the
Rangeland Program Management records:
Grazing Allotment Files are retained according to the BLM
4, Item 11a. These records are permanent. The cutoff is the end of the
Fiscal Year (EOFY) in which the effort is completed, at which point the
records will be transferred to the Federal Records Center (FRC) 3 years
after the cutoff. The FRC will transfer to NARA 25 years after the
cutoff.
Grazing Authorization Files and Grazing Operator Case
Files are retained according to the BLM 4, Item 14a(1), N1-49-90-1.
These records are permanent. The cutoff is the EOFY in which the
authorization terminates and appeal rights are exhausted, at which
point the records will be transferred to the FRC 2 years after cutoff.
The FRC will transfer the records to NARA 20 years after cutoff.
Grazing Authorization Files and Grazing Appeal Case Files
are retained according to BLM 4, Item 14a(2), N1-49-90-1. These records
are permanent. Once the decision is issued and appeal rights are
exhausted, these documents are then filed with the associated operator
file--item 4/14a(1) or the related Unauthorized Use Casefile--item 18/
31, and subsequently follow the disposition of the casefile into which
it is placed.
Land-Use Permits Approved Case Files are retained under
BLM 4, Item 14b, N1-49-90-1. These records are temporary and the cutoff
is the EOFY in which the permit terminates and appeal rights are
exhausted. The disposition is 30 years after the cutoff.
Grazing and Other Land-Use Applications Rejected or
Withdrawn are retained under BLM 4, Item 14d, NC1-49-76-3, B/16. These
records are temporary and the cutoff is the EOFY in which the
application is rejected or withdrawn and appeal rights are exhausted.
These records are transferred to the FRC 2 years after the cutoff and
the FRC destroys 15 years after the cutoff.
Rangeland Administration System (RAS), Master File is
retained under BLM 4, Item 14a(3)(a), N1-049-09-7, 1a. These records
are permanent. A copy of the master file will be transferred to NARA
upon approval of this schedule, along with the technical documentation,
in accordance with 36 CFR 1235.44-50. Thereafter, transfer a copy every
5 years, along with the current technical documentation.
Rangeland Improvement Project System (RIPS), Master File,
is retained under Schedule 17, Item 13d(1), N1-049-09-11, 1a. These
records are permanent. A copy of the master file will be transferred to
NARA upon approval of this schedule, along with the technical
documentation, in accordance with 36 CFR 1235.44-50. Thereafter,
transfer a copy every 5 years, along with the current technical
documentation.
Trespass Investigative Files are retained under BLM 18,
Item 31, NC1-49-76-3, B/19. These records are temporary and the cutoff
is the EOFY in which the case is settled or abandoned. The disposition
is 51 years after the cutoff.
Approved disposition methods include shredding or pulping for paper
records, and degaussing or erasing for electronic records, in
accordance with NARA guidelines and Departmental policy. Permanent
records that are no longer active or needed for agency use are
transferred to NARA for permanent retention in accordance with NARA
guidelines.
ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL SAFEGUARDS:
The records contained in this system are safeguarded in accordance
with 43 CFR 2.226 and other applicable security and privacy rules and
policies. During normal hours of operation, paper records are
maintained in secure cabinets and/or in secure file rooms under the
control of authorized personnel.
Computerized records systems follow the National Institute of
Standards and Technology privacy and security standards as developed to
comply with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a;
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.; Federal
Information Security Modernization Act of 2014, 44 U.S.C. 3551 et seq.;
and the Federal Information Processing Standards 199: Standards for
Security Categorization of Federal Information and Information Systems.
Security controls include user identification, passwords, multi-factor
authentication, database permissions, firewalls, audit logs, and
network system security monitoring, and software controls.
Access to records in the system is limited to authorized personnel
who have a need to access the records in the performance of their
official duties, and each user's access is restricted to only the
functions and data necessary to perform that person's job
responsibilities. System administrators and authorized users are
trained and required to follow established internal security protocols
and must complete all security, privacy, and records management
training and sign the DOI Rules of Behavior. A Privacy Impact
Assessment was completed for the associated information systems under
the BLM rangeland program to ensure that Privacy Act requirements are
met, and appropriate privacy controls were implemented to safeguard the
personally identifiable information contained in the systems.
