Notice of Systems of Records, Preliminary Statement
Government-wide Systems of Records
In addition to the internal systems of records described below,
the CSB also maintains certain records covered by government-wide
systems of records. Government-wide systems of records are
established by Federal agencies, such as the Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
(EEOC), that are responsible for government-wide functions. These
systems are described in notices published by the establishing
agency. While the establishing agency creates and administers the
system, the actual records are physically maintained at agencies
throughout the government, such as the CSB. Requests for CSB records
covered by a government-wide system of records should be directed to
the CSB. In accordance with the directive of Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) Circular No. A-130, the CSB is not creating or
publishing internal systems of records that wholly or partly
duplicate existing government-wide systems of records.
The CSB currently maintains, or may in the future maintain,
records covered by the following government-wide systems of records:
EEOC/GOVT-1 (Equal Employment Opportunity in the Federal Government
Complaint and Appeal Records); GSA/GOVT-4 (Contracted Travel Services
Program); MSPB/GOVT-1 (Appeals and Case Records); OGE/GOVT-1
(Executive Branch Public Financial Disclosure Reports and Other
Ethics Program Records); OGE/GOVT-2 (Confidential Statements of
Employment and Financial Interests); OPM/GOVT-1 (General Personnel
Records); OPM/GOVT-2 (Employee Performance File System Records); OPM/
GOVT-3 (Records of Adverse Actions, Performance Based Reductions in
Grade and Removal Actions, and Termination of Probationers); OPM/
GOVT-5 (Recruiting, Examining, and Placement Records); OPM/GOVT-9
(File on Position Classification Appeals, Job Grading Appeals, and
Retained Grade or Pay Appeals); OPM/GOVT-10 (Employee Medical File
System Records).
Statement of General Routine Uses
The following general routine uses are incorporated by this
reference into each system of records set forth herein, unless such
incorporation is specifically limited in the system description.
1. In the event that a record in a system indicates any violation
or potential violation of the law, whether civil, criminal, or
regulatory in nature, and whether arising by statute, or by
regulation, rule, or order issued pursuant thereto, the relevant
record may be referred by authorized CSB personnel as a routine use
to the appropriate agency, whether Federal, state, local, or foreign,
charged with the responsibility of investigating or prosecuting such
violation, or charged with enforcing or implementing the statute,
rule, regulation, or order issued pursuant thereto. Such referral
shall also include and be deemed to authorize any and all appropriate
and necessary uses of such record in a court of law or before an
administrative board or hearing.
2. A record covered by a system may be disclosed by authorized
CSB personnel as a routine use to designated officers and employees
of other agencies and departments of the Federal government having an
interest in the individual for employment purposes, including the
hiring or retention of any employee, the issuance of a security
clearance, the letting of a contract, or the issuance of license,
grant, or other benefit by the requesting agency, to the extent that
the information is relevant and necessary to the requesting agency's
decision on the matter involved.
3. Disclosure of information by authorized CSB personnel to the
Department of Justice, or in a proceeding before a court,
adjudicative body, or other administrative body before which the CSB
is authorized to appear, when:
a. The CSB, or any component thereof; or
b. Any employee of the CSB in his or her official capacity; or
c. Any employee of the CSB in his or her individual capacity
where the Department of Justice or the CSB has agreed to represent
the employee; or
d. The United States, when the CSB determines that litigation is
likely to affect the CSB or any of its components, is a party to
litigation or has an interest in such litigation, and the use of such
records by the Department of Justice or the CSB is deemed by the CSB
to be relevant and necessary to the litigation provided, however,
that in each case it has been determined that the disclosure is
compatible with the purpose for which the records were collected.
4. Any record in any system of records may be disclosed by
authorized CSB personnel as a routine use to the National Archives
and Records Administration in the course of records management
inspections conducted under authority of 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906.
5. Information from any system of records may be released by
authorized CSB personnel to auditors in the conduct of an audit of
CSB operations or accounts, but only to the extent it is relevant and
necessary to the conduct of the audit.
6. Information from any system of records may be released by

with the OIG's authorized oversight functions.

Sec. 1602.1 General provisions.
(a) Purpose and scope. This part contains the rules that the Chemical
Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (``CSB'' or ``Board'') follows
under the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a. These rules should be read
together with the Privacy Act, which provides additional information
about records maintained on individuals. The rules in this part apply to
all records in systems of records maintained by the CSB that are
retrieved by an individual's name or personal identifier. They describe
the procedures by which individuals may request access to records about
themselves, request amendment or correction of those records, and
request an accounting of disclosures of those records by the CSB. In
addition, the CSB processes all Privacy Act requests for access to
records under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552,
following the rules contained in part 1601 of this chapter, which gives
requests the benefit of both statutes.
(b) Definitions. As used in this part:
Requester means an individual who makes a request for access, a
request for amendment or correction, or a request for an accounting
under the Privacy Act.
Request for access to a record means a request made as described in
subsection (d)(1) of the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a.
Request for amendment or correction of a record means a request made
as described in subsection (d)(2) of the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a.
Request for an accounting means a request made as described in
subsection (c)(3) of the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a.
Sec. 1602.2 Requests for access to records.
(a) How made and addressed. You may make a request for access to a CSB
record about yourself by appearing in person or by writing to the CSB.
Your request should be sent or delivered to the CSB's General Counsel,
at 2175 K Street, NW., 4th Floor, Washington, DC 20037. For the quickest
possible handling, you should mark both your request letter and the
envelope ``Privacy Act Request.''
(b) Description of records sought. You must describe the records that
you want in enough detail to enable CSB personnel to locate the system
of records containing them with a reasonable amount of effort. Whenever
possible, your request should describe the records sought, the time
periods in which you believe they were compiled, and the name or
identifying number of each system of records in which you believe they
are kept. The CSB publishes notices in the Federal Register that
describe its systems of records. A description of the CSB's systems of
records also may be found as part of the ``Privacy Act Compilation''
published by the National Archives and Records Administration's Office
of the Federal Register. This compilation is available in most large
reference and university libraries. This compilation also can be
accessed electronically at the Government Printing Office's World Wide
Web site (which can be found at http://www.access.gpo.gov/su
