                <p>The Office of Civil Rights and Equal Employment Opportunity (OCR-EEO) maintains the DOE-42 System of Records for the following purposes:</p>
                <p>1. Pre-award Review:  Prior to award, and as a condition of approval, applications for Federal financial assistance (FFA) are subject to review by OCR-EEO.  The basis for an OCR-EEO pre-award review is the submission of assurances by FFA applicants, agreeing that their programs and activities will be operated in compliance with Federal civil rights laws and Department regulations.  Where a determination of compliance cannot be made from such assurances, OCR-EEO may require FFA applicants to submit additional information and may take other steps necessary to make a compliance determination.</p>
                <p>2. Compliance Information:  Each FFA recipient must submit timely, complete, and accurate reports as OCR-EEO may deem necessary to determine whether the programs and activities of the FFA recipient comply with Federal civil rights laws and Department regulations.  Generally, FFA recipients must have data available on program participants, as well as any subrecipients and subcontractors to which it extends its FFA.  The FFA recipient also may be required to permit OCR-EEO access to other sources of information necessary to ascertain its compliance with Federal civil rights laws and Department regulations.</p>
                <p>3. Complaint investigations:  When OCR-EEO receives a formal complaint or equivalent correspondence alleging discrimination in any program or activity operated by any entity to which the Department may have extended FFA, OCR-EEO may need to collect information from or about individuals in order to: (1) determine whether the Department has jurisdiction over the alleged discriminating entity; (2) if jurisdiction is not found, refer the complaint to the Federal agency with jurisdiction wherever possible; (3) if jurisdiction is found, notify the alleged discriminating entity (FFA recipient) of OCR-EEO’s receipt of the complaint, the nature of the complaint, and with written consent of the complainant(s) or OCR-EEO authority, the identity of the complainant(s); (4) identify the FFA recipient programs or activities affected by the complaint; (5) provide an opportunity for the FFA recipient to respond to, rebut, or deny the allegations made in the complaint; (6) maintain a schedule under which the complaint will be investigated; (7) conduct an investigation and issue preliminary findings; (8) make recommendations and engage in negotiations to achieve voluntary compliance by the FFA recipient; (9) memorialize any agreement by the FFA recipient to achieve voluntary compliance, with corresponding notification to the complainant(s), and; (10) record any other means authorized by law to effect compliance by the FFA recipient.</p>
                <p>4. Compliance Reviews:  OCR-EEO periodically conducts compliance reviews of FFA recipients, and accordingly, may collect information from or about individuals in order to: (1) select FFA recipients for review; (2) determine the practices to be reviewed; (3) determine the programs or activities affected by the review; (4) provide an opportunity for FFA recipients to explain, validate, or otherwise address the practices under review; (5) maintain a schedule under which the reviews will be conducted; (6) conduct the reviews and issue preliminary findings; (7) make recommendations and engage in negotiations to achieve voluntary compliance by FFA recipients;  (8) memorialize any agreement with FFA recipients to achieve voluntary compliance and; (9) record any other means authorized by law to effect compliance by FFA recipients.</p>

<subsection type="routineUsesOfRecords"><xhtmlContent>
<p>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.
</p>
<p>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.
</p>
<p>3. A record from this system may be disclosed as a routine
use to a court or
adjudicative body in a proceeding when: (a) DOE
or any component thereof; (b) any employee of DOE in his or her
official capacity;
(c) any employee of DOE in his or her
individual capacity where DOE or the Department of Justice has
agreed to represent
the employee; or (d) the Federal Government
is a party to litigation or has an interest in such litigation and,
after careful
review, DOE determines that the records are
both relevant and necessary to the litigation and the use of such
records is
therefore deemed by DOE to be for a purpose that is
compatible with the purpose for which DOE collected the records.
</p><p>4. A record from this system may be disclosed as a routine
use to a federal,
state, local, foreign, tribal, or other public
authority that the system of records contains information relevant
to the retention
of an employee, the retention of a security
clearance, the letting of a contract, or the issuance or retention
of a license,
grant, or other benefit. No disclosure will be
made unless the information has been determined to be sufficiently
reliable to
support a referral to another office within DOE
or to another Federal agency for criminal, civil, administrative
personnel or
regulatory action.
</p><p>5. Except for self-admissions of illegal use of drugs or drug
activity on
questionnaire Forms SF 85, SF 85P, and SF 86, when
a record on its face, or in conjunction with other records,
indicates a violation
or potential violation of law, whether civil,
criminal, or regulatory in nature, and whether arising by general
statute or
particular program statute, or by regulation, rule,
or order issued pursuant thereto, a routine use disclosure may be
made to the
appropriate public authority, whether Federal,
foreign, State, local, or tribal, or otherwise, responsible for
enforcing,
investigating or prosecuting such violation or
charged with enforcing or implementing the statute, or rule,
regulation, or order
issued pursuant thereto, if the information
disclosed is relevant to any enforcement, regulatory, investigative
or
prosecutorial responsibility of the receiving entity.
</p><p>6. A record from this system may be disclosed as a routine
use to a member
of Congress or to a Congressional staff member in
response to an inquiry of the Congressional office made at the
written request of
the constituent about whom the record is
maintained. The member of Congress must provide a copy of the
constituent's request
for assistance.
</p><p>7. A record from this system may be disclosed as a routine
use to DOE
contractors in the performance of their contracts, and
their officers and employees who have a need for the record in the
performance of
their duties. Those provided information under
this routine use are subject to the same limitations applicable to
Department
officers and employees under the Privacy Act.
</p><p>8. A record from this system may be disclosed as a routine
use to the
National Archives and Records Administration for
records management inspections under 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906.
</p><p>9. A record from this system may be disclosed as a routine
use to any source
or potential source from which the information
is requested in the course of an investigation concerning the
retention of an
employee or other personnel action (other than
hiring), or the retention of a security clearance, contract, grant,
license, or
other benefit, to the extent necessary to
identify the individual, inform the source of the nature and purpose
of the
investigation, and to identify the type of
information requested.</p>
<p>10. A record from this system may be disclosed as a routine use
to a Federal,
State, or local agency, or other appropriate
entities or individuals, or through established liaison channels to
selected
foreign governments, in order to enable an
intelligence agency to carry out its responsibilities under the
National Security
Act of 1947, as amended, the CIA Act of 1949,
as amended, Executive Order 12333 or any successor order, applicable
national
security directives, or classified implementing
procedures approved by the Attorney General and promulgated pursuant
to such
statutes, orders, or directives.
</p><p>11. A record from this system may be disclosed as a routine
use to notify
another Federal agency, or verify whether, a PIV
credential is no longer valid.
</p><p>12. A record from this system may be disclosed as a routine
use when (1) it
is suspected or confirmed that the security or
confidentiality of information in the system of records has been
compromised; (2)
the Department has determined that as a result
of the suspected or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to
economic or
property interests, identity theft or fraud, or
harm to the security integrity if this system or other systems or
programs (whether
maintained by the Department or another
agency or entity) that rely upon the compromised information; and
(3) the
disclosure is made to such agencies, entities, and
persons who are reasonably necessary to assist in connection with
the Department's
efforts to respond to the suspected or
confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm.

                <p>The purpose of this system is to enhance DOE’s capabilities to aggregate, link, analyze and maintain information used by the Department to assess research, technology, and economic security (RTES) risk. RTES risks may include risk of foreign government interference and exploitation, intellectual property (IP) loss, national security risk, conflicts of interest, and conflicts of commitment, and other parameters defined in DOE/NNSA policy. The RTES analysis builds on pre-existing information provided by individuals and organizations that interact with DOE/NNSA, paired with public records (see categories of records), and in some cases, classified information. Consistent with NSPM-33, applicable law, and existing DOE/NNSA policies, the system records may be shared as appropriate with other Federal funding agencies and internally within DOE/NNSA to help ensure a coordinated and consistent approach to risk assessment.</p>
                <p>Information collected in this system may be utilized for the following purposes:</p>
                <p>1. To identify inconsistencies in information reported by individuals to DOE/NNSA related to submitted proposals, terms and conditions, and project reports of a DOE/NNSA award or other activity. An example of inconsistencies could include undisclosed current and pending research support or positions and appointments.</p>
                <p>2. To conduct due diligence and RTES risk assessments established according to guidelines (e.g., risk matrices) and review processes to evaluate and manage research, development, deployment, demonstrations, commercialization, and scientific activities.</p>
                <p>3. To use RTES risk assessments to ensure that DOE/NNSA makes informed funding decisions including implementation of RTES risk mitigations as a condition of funding, if needed, to ensure that U.S. economic and national security interests are protected.</p>
                <p>4. To monitor and notify current and potential participants (i.e., recipients and applicants) in the subject DOE/NNSA research, development, deployment, demonstrations, commercialization, and scientific activities of unmanageable RTES risks and compliance with applicable RTES requirements and mitigations.</p>

These individuals would include individuals designated by the applicant to direct the project (e.g., Principal Investigators, Program Directors), senior/key personnel, and other members of project teams. These individuals may also include DOE/NNSA contractor-operated and government-operated laboratory employees and laboratory partners. To inform the assessment of an entity’s foreign ownership, control, and influence (FOCI), including FOCI related to foreign countries of concern, countries of risk, foreign entities of concern, entities of concern, or similar terms as defined in applicable laws or DOE/NNSA policies, the system includes information on individuals in a position to own, control or influence the entity (e.g., owners, directors, board members, and significant investors and shareholders), consistent with applicable requirements.</p>

 Procedures for identifying the individual making a request for
 access to or amendment of records.
</b></p><p>(a) When a request for information about or for access to
or correction of a record pertaining to an individual and contained
in a system of records has been made pursuant to &#167; 1008.6,
valid identification of the individual making the request shall be
required before information will be given, access granted or a
correction considered, to insure that information is given,
corrected, or records disclosed or corrected only at the request of
the proper person.
</p><p>(b) Subject to paragraphs (c) and (d) of this section, an
individual making a request may establish his identity by:
</p><p>(1) Including with his request, if submitted by mail, a
photocopy of two identifying documents bearing his name and
signature, one of which shall bear his current home or business
address and date of birth; or
</p><p>(2) Appearing at the appropriate DOE location during the
regular business hours and presenting either of the following:
</p><p>(i) One identifying document bearing the individual's
photograph and signature, such as a driver's license or passport; or
</p><p>(ii) Two identifying documents bearing the individual's name
and signature, one of which shall bear the individual's current home
or business address and date of birth; or
</p><p>(3) Providing such other proof of identity as the Privacy Act
Officer deems satisfactory in the circumstances of a particular
request.
</p><p>(c) If the Privacy Act Officer or the appropriate System
Manager determines that the information in a record is so sensitive
that unauthorized access could cause harm or embarrassment to the
individual whose record in involved, or if the individual making the
request is unable to produce satisfactory evidence of identity under
paragraph (b) or (d) of this section, the individual making the
request may be required to submit a notarized statement attesting to
his identity and his understanding of the criminal penalties
provided under section 1001 of title 18 of the United States Code
for making false statements to a Government agency and under
subsection (i)(3) of the Act for obtaining records under false
pretenses. Copies of these statutory provisions and forms of such
notarized statements may be obtained upon request from the Privacy
Act Officer, Headquarters, Department of Energy, Washington, DC.
</p><p>(d) When an individual acting as the parent of a minor or the
legal guardian of the person to whom a record pertains makes a
request pursuant to &#167; 1008.6 of this part:
</p><p>(1) Such an individual shall establish his personal identity
in the same manner required in either paragraph (b) or (c) of this
section.
</p><p>(2) In addition, such an individual shall establish his
identity in the representative capacity of parent or legal guardian.
In the case of the parent of a minor, the proof of identity shall be
a certified or authenticated copy of the minor's birth certificate.
In the case of the legal guardian of a person who has been declared
incompetent due to physical or mental incapacity or age by a court
of competent jurisdiction, the proof of identity shall be a
certified or authenticated copy of the order from a court of
competent jurisdiction.
</p><p>(3) A parent or legal guardian may act only for a living
individual, not for a decedent. Requests for the records of
decedents will be handled under the Freedom of Information Act (5
U.S.C. 552).

</p><p><b>&#167;1008.5
 Effect of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) to withhold from the
individual to whom it pertains, any record which is otherwise
accessible to such individual under this part.
</p><p>(b) DOE shall rely on subsection (b) of the Privacy Act to
withhold information from a person other than the person to whom the
record pertains only when the information is also exempt from
disclosure under the FOIA.
</p><p>(c) Where a request for access to records is submitted
pursuant to both the FOIA and the Privacy Act, the DOE shall, to the
maximum extent possible, process the request under the provisions of
this part, including the time limits of this part.

 Processing of requests.
</b></p><p>(a) Receipt of a request made in accordance with &#167;
1008.6 shall be promptly acknowledged by the Privacy Act Officer.
</p><p>(b) Each request shall be acted upon promptly. Every effort
will be made to respond within ten working days of the date of
receipt by the System Manager or designee. If a response cannot be
made within ten working days, the appropriate Privacy Act Officer
shall send an interim response providing information on the status
of the request, including an estimate of the time within which
action is expected to be taken on the request and asking for any
further information as may be necessary to respond to the request.
Action will be completed as soon as possible, but not later than 20
working days after receipt of the original specific inquiry. In
unusual circumstances and for good cause, the appropriate Privacy
Act Officer may decide that action cannot be completed within the
initial 20 working days. In such case, the appropriate Privacy Act
Officer will advise the individual of the reason for the delay and
the date (not to exceed an additional 20 working days) by which
action can be expected to be completed.
</p><p>(c) The term <i>unusual circumstances</i> as used in this
section includes situations where a search for requested records
from inactive storage is necessary; cases where a voluminous amount
of data is involved; instances where information on other
individuals must be separated or expunged from the particular
record; and cases where consultation with other agencies which have
substantial interest in the response to the request is necessary.
</p>
<p>(d) Upon receiving a request, the Privacy Act Officer shall
ascertain which System Manager or Managers of the DOE have primary
responsibility for, custody of, or concern with the system or
systems of records subject to the request and shall forward the
request to such System Manager or Managers. The System Manager or
Managers shall promptly identify and, in consultation with the
General Counsel, review the records encompassed by the request.
</p><p>(e) Where the request is for access to or information about
records, after reviewing the material the System Manager or Managers
concerned shall transmit to the Privacy Act Officer the requested
material. The transmission to the Privacy Act Officer shall include
any recommendation that the request be granted or wholly or
partially denied and shall set forth any exemption categories
supporting denials. Any denial recommendation must be concurred in
by the appropriate General Counsel.
</p><p>(f) Where the request is for correction or amendment of
records, after reviewing the material the System Manager or Managers
shall transmit a recommended decision to the Privacy Act Officer.
Any recommendation that the request be granted or wholly or
partially denied shall cite the exemption relied on and set forth
the policy considerations supporting a denial. Any recommendation of
denial must be concurred in by General Counsel.

</p><p><b>&#167;1008.8
 Action in response to a request for access: disclosure of requested
 information to subject individuals.
</b></p><p>(a) Consistent with the recommendation of the System
Manager and the concurrence of the appropriate General Counsel, the
Privacy Act Officer shall provide to the requesting individual the
information about or access to a record or information pertaining to
the individual contained in a system of records, unless the request
is being denied in accordance with &#167; 1008.9 of this part. The
Privacy Act Officer shall notify the individual of such
determination and provide the following information:
</p><p>(1) Whether there is information or a record pertaining to
him that is contained in a system of records;
</p><p>(2) The methods of access as set forth in paragraph (b) of
this section;
</p><p>(3) The place at which the record or information may be
inspected;
</p><p>(4) The earliest date on which the record or information may
be inspected and the period of time that the record or information
will remain available for inspection. In no event shall the earliest
date be later than thirty calendar days from the date of
notification.
</p><p>(5) An indication that copies of the records are enclosed, or
the estimated date by which a copy of the record could be mailed and
the estimate of fees that would be charged to provide other than the
first copy of the record, pursuant to &#167; 1008.13.
</p><p>(6) The fact that the individual, if he wishes, may be
accompanied by another person during the in-person review of the
record or information, provided that the individual shall first
furnish to the Privacy Act Officer a written statement authorizing
disclosure of that individual's record in the accompanying person's
presence; and
</p><p>(7) Any additional requirements that must be satisfied in
order to provide information about or to grant access to the
requested record or information.
</p><p>(b) The following methods of access to records or information
pertaining to an individual and contained in a system of records may
be available to that individual depending on the circumstances of a
particular request:
</p><p>(1) A copy of the record may be enclosed with the initial
response in accordance with paragraph (a) of this section;
</p><p>(2) Inspection in person may be arranged during the regular
business hours of the DOE in the office specified by the Privacy Act
Officer;
</p><p>(3) Transfer of records to a Federal facility more convenient
to the individual may be arranged, but only if the Privacy Act
Officer determines that a suitable facility is available, that the
individual's access can be properly supervised at that facility, and
that transmittal of the records or information to that facility will
not unduly interfere with operations of the DOE or involve
unreasonable costs, in terms of money or manpower; and
</p><p>(4) The requested number of copies in addition to the initial
copy may be mailed at the request of the individual, subject to
payment of the fees prescribed in &#167; 1008.13.
</p><p>(c) If the Privacy Act Officer believes, based upon a
recommendation of the System Manager and the agency's medical
officer, that disclosure of medical and/or psychological information
directly to an individual could have an adverse effect upon that
individual, the individual may be asked:
</p><p>(1) To designate in writing a physician or mental health
professional to whom he would like the records to be disclosed; or
</p><p>(2) To submit a signed statement by his physician or a mental
health professional indicating that, in his view, disclosure of the
requested records or information directly to the individual will not
have an adverse effect upon the individual. If the individual
refuses to designate a physician or mental health professional, or
to submit a signed statement from his physician or mental health
professional as provided in paragraphs (c) (1) and (2) of this
section, the request will be considered denied, and the appeal
rights provided in &#167; 1008.11 will be available to the
individual.
</p><p>(d) The Privacy Act Officer shall supply such other
information and assistance at the time of an individual's review of
his record as is necessary to make the record intelligible to the
individual.
</p><p>(e) The DOE will, as required by subsection (d)(1), assure an
individual's right "to review his or her record and have a copy made
of all or any portion thereof in a form comprehensible to him."
However, original records will be made available to individuals only
under the supervision of the Privacy Act Officer or his designee.
Individuals will be provided at their request with a copy, but not
the original, of records pertaining to them.

 Action in response to a request for access: initial denial of
 access.
</b></p><p>(a) A request by an individual for information about or
access to a record or information pertaining to that individual that

</p><p>(1) The record is subject to an exemption under &#167;
1008.12;
</p><p>(2) The record is information compiled in reasonable
anticipation of a civil action or proceeding; or
</p><p>(3) The individual has unreasonably failed to comply with the
procedural requirements of this part.
</p><p>(b) The Privacy Act Officer shall give written notice of the
denial of a request of information about or access to records or
information pertaining to the individual and contained in a system
of records. Such written notice shall be sent by certified or
registered mail, return receipt requested and shall include the
following information:
</p><p>(1) The System Manager's name and title;
</p><p>(2) The reasons for the denial, including citation to the
appropriate sections of the Privacy Act and this part; and

not retrieved by the name or by some other identifying number,
symbol or identifying particular of the individual making the
request;
</p><p>(2) Prevent a System Manager from waiving any exemption
authorizing the denial of records, in accordance with &#167;
1008.12.

</p><p><b>&#167;1008.10
 Action in response to a request for correction or amendment of
 records.
</b></p><p>(a) The Privacy Act Officer must respond in writing to
the requester for amendment of a record within 10 working days of
receipt. This response shall inform the requester of the decision
whenever possible.
</p><p>(b) If the decision cannot be reached within 10 working days,
the requester shall be informed of the reason for delay and the date
(within 20 working days) it is expected that the decision will be
made.
</p><p>(c) The Privacy Act Officer, consistent with the
recommendation of the System Manager or Managers, as concurred in by
the appropriate General Counsel, if appropriate, shall do one of the
following:
</p><p>(1) Instruct the System Manager to make the requested
correction or amendment; and advise the individual in writing of
such action, providing either a copy of the corrected or amended
record, or a statement as to the means whereby the correction or
amendment was accomplished in cases where a copy cannot be provided
(for example, erasure of information from a record maintained only
in an electronic data bank); or
</p><p>(2) Inform the individual in writing that his request is
denied in whole or in part. Such denial shall be sent by certified
or registered mail, return receipt requested, and shall provide the
following information:

(5).
</p><p>(iv) Notification of the right of the individual to submit a
statement of disagreement consistent with &#167; 1008.11(g).
</p><p>(d) Whenever an individual's record is amended pursuant to a
request by that individual, the Privacy Act Officer or the System
Manager, as appropriate, shall notify all persons and agencies to
which the amended portion of the record had been disclosed prior to
its amendment, if an accounting of such disclosure was required by
the Act. The notification shall request a recipient agency
maintaining the record to acknowledge receipt of the notification,
to correct or amend the record and to apprise an agency or person to
which it had disclosed the record of the substance of the amendment.
</p><p>(e) The following criteria will be taken into account by the
DOE in reviewing a request for amendment:
</p><p>(1) The sufficiency of the evidence submitted by the
individual;
</p><p>(2) The factual accuracy of the information;
</p><p>(3) The relevance and necessity of the information in
relation to the purpose for which it was collected;
</p><p>(4) If such information is used in making any determination
about the individual, whether the information is as accurate,
relevant, timely, and complete as is reasonably necessary to assure
fairness to the individual in such determination;
</p><p>(5) The degree of possibility that denial of the request
could unfairly result in a determination adverse to the individual;
</p><p>(6) The nature of the record sought to be corrected or
amended; and
</p><p>(7) The propriety and feasibility of complying with the
specific means of amendment requested by the individual.
</p><p>(f) The DOE will not undertake to gather evidence for the

disagreeing with the final determination, receipt of which statement
will be acknowledged by the Privacy Act Officer.
</p><p>(ii) An indication that any disagreement statement filed by
the individual will be noted and appended to the disputed record and
that a copy of the statement will be provided by the Privacy Act
Officer or the System Manager, as appropriate, to persons and

 Exemptions.
</b></p><p>(a) <i>General exemptions</i>--(1) <i>Generally.</i> 5
U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) allows the exemption of any system of records
within the DOE from any part of section 552a except subsections (b),
(c)(1) and (2), (e)(4)(A) through (F) (e)(6), (7), (9), (10), and
(11), and (i) of the Act if the system of records is maintained by a
DOE component which performs as its principal function any activity
pertaining to the enforcement of criminal laws, including police
efforts to prevent, control, or reduce crime or to apprehend
criminals, and which consists of:
</p>
<p>(i) Information compiled for the purpose of identifying
individual criminal offenders and alleged offenders;
</p><p>(ii) Information compiled for the purpose of a criminal
investigation, including reports of informants and investigators,
and associated with an identifiable individual; or
</p><p>(iii) Reports identifiable to an individual compiled at any
stage of the process of enforcement of the criminal laws from arrest
or indictment through release from supervision.
</p><p>(2) <i>Applicability of general exemptions to DOE systems of
records</i>--(i) <i>Investigative Files of the Inspector General
(DOE-54).</i> This system of records is being exempted pursuant to
subsection (j)(2) of the Act in order to aid the Office of the
Inspector General in the performance of its law enforcement
function. The system is exempted from subsections (c)(3) and (4);
(d)(1)-(4); (e)(1)-(3); (4)(G), (H), and (I); (5) and (8); and (g)
of the Act. The system is exempt from these provisions for the
following reasons: notifying an individual at the individual's
request of the existence of records in an investigative file
pertaining to such individual, or granting access to an
investigative file could (A) interfere with investigative and
enforcement proceedings and with co-defendants' right to a fair
trial; (B) disclose the identity of confidential sources and reveal
confidential information supplied by these sources; and (C) disclose
investigative techniques and procedures.
</p>
<p>(ii) <i>Law Enforcement Investigative Records (DOE-84).</i> This
system of records is being exempted pursuant to subsection (j)(2) of
the Act to enable the Office of Counterintelligence to carry out its
duties and responsibilities as they pertain to its law enforcement
function. The system is exempted from subsections (c)(3) and (4),
(d), (e) (1), (2), and (3), (e)(4) (G) and (H), (e)(8), (f), and (g)
of the Act. The system is exempt from these provisions for the
following reasons: Notifying an individual at the individual's
request of the existence of records in an investigative file
pertaining to such individual, or granting access to an
investigative file could interfere with investigative and
enforcement proceedings and with co-defendants' right to a fair
trial; disclose the identity of confidential sources and reveal
confidential information supplied by these sources; and disclose
investigative techniques and procedures.
</p>
<p>(b) <i>Specific exemptions.</i> Subsection (k) of the Privacy Act
establishes seven categories of systems of records which may be
exempted from subsections (c)(3), (d), (e)(1), (e)(4)(G), (H) and
(I), and (7) of the Act. The Department has exempted systems of
records under four of these provisions, as follows:
</p>
<p>(1) <i>Classified material.</i> (i) Subsection (k)(1) permits
exemption of systems of records that are specifically authorized
under criteria established under statute or Executive Order to be

</b></p><p>Part 3b describes the Federal Power Commission's program
to implement the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 (Pub. L. No.
93-579, 88 Stat. 1896) to allow individuals to have a say in the
collection and use of information which may be used in
determinations affecting them. The program is structured to permit
an individual to determine what records pertaining to him and filed
under his individual name, or some other identifying particular, are
collected, maintained, used or disseminated by the Commission, to
permit him access to such records, and to correct or amend them, and
to provide that the Commission collect, use, maintain and
disseminate such information in a lawful manner for a necessary
purpose.

notice of its intention to establish any new or intended routine use
of the information in an existing system of records at least thirty
days prior to the disclosure of the record for that routine use. A
new routine use is one which involves disclosure of records for a
new purpose compatible with the purpose for which the record is
maintained or which involves disclosure to a new recipient or
category of recipients. At a minimum, the notice will contain the
following information:
</p>
<p>(1) The name of the system of records for which the routine use
is to be established;
</p><p>(2) The authority authorizing the maintenance of the

</p>
<p><b>&#167;3b.4
 Government contractors.
</b></p><p>Systems of records operated by a contractor, pursuant to
a <i>contract,</i> on behalf of the Commission, which are designed
to accomplish a Commission function, are considered, for the
purposes of this part, to be maintained by the Commission. A <i>
contract</i> covers any contract, written or oral, subject to the
Federal Procurement Regulations. The contractual instrument will
specify, to the extent consistent with the Commission's authority to
require it, that the systems of records be maintained in accordance
with the requirements of this part.

</p>
<p><b>&#167;3b.5
 Legal guardians.
</b></p><p>For the purposes of this part, the parent of any minor,
or the legal guardian of any individual who has been declared to be
incompetent due to physical or mental incapacity or age by a court
of competent jurisdiction, may act on behalf of the individual.
</p><p><b>Subpart B--Standards for Maintenance and Collection of
Records

</b></p>
<p><b>&#167;3b.201
 Content of records.
</b></p><p>(a) All records which are maintained by the Commission in
a system of records will contain only such information about an
individual that is relevant and necessary to accomplish a purpose of
the Commission as required to be accomplished by statute or by
executive order of the President. Pursuant to &#167; 3b.3(a)(4) of
this part, the Commission will identify in the <i>Federal
Register</i> the specific provisions in law which authorize it to
maintain information in a system of records. In determining the <i>
relevance</i> and <i>necessity</i> of records, the following
considerations will govern:
</p>
<p>(1) Whether each item of information relates to the purposes, in
law, for which the system is maintained;
</p><p>(2) The adverse consequences, if any, of not collecting the
information;
</p><p>(3) Whether the need for the information could be met through
the maintenance of the information in a non-individually
identifiable form;
</p><p>(4) Whether the information in the record is required to be
collected on every individual who is the subject of a record in the
system or whether a sampling procedure would suffice;
</p><p>(5) The length of time it is necessary to retain the
information;
</p><p>(6) The financial cost of maintaining the record as compared
to the adverse consequences of not maintaining it; and
</p><p>(7) Whether the information, while generally relevant and
necessary to accomplish a statutory purpose, is specifically
relevant and necessary only in certain cases.
</p><p>(b) All records which the Commission maintains in a system of
records and which are used to make a determination about an
individual will be maintained with such accuracy, relevance,
timeliness, and completeness as is reasonably necessary to assure
fairness to the individual in the determination. Where practicable,
in questionable instances, reverification of pertinent information
with the individual to whom the record pertains may be appropriate.
In pursuit of <i>completeness</i> in the collection of information,
the Commission will limit its records to those elements of
information which clearly bear on the determination for which the
records are intended to be used, assuring that all elements
necessary to the determination are present before the determination
is made.
</p>
<p>(c) Prior to disseminating any records in a system of records,
the Commission will make reasonable efforts to assure that such
records are as accurate, relevant, timely, and complete as
appropriate for the purposes for which they are collected and/or
maintained, except when they are disclosed to a member of the public
under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552, as amended, or
to another agency.
</p><p>(d) No records of the Commission in a system of records shall
describe how any individual exercises his First Amendment rights
unless expressly authorized by statute or by the individual about
whom the record is maintained or unless pertinent to and within the
scope of an authorized law enforcement activity. The exercise of
these rights includes, but is not limited to, religious and
political beliefs, freedom of speech and of the press, and freedom
of assembly and petition. In determining whether or not a particular
activity constitutes the exercise of a right guaranteed by the First
Amendment, the Commission will apply the broadest reasonable
interpretation.

</p><p><b>&#167;3b.202
 Collection of information from individuals concerned.
</b></p><p>(a) Any information collected by the Commission for
inclusion in a system of records which may result in adverse
determinations about an individual's rights, benefits, and
privileges under Federal programs, will, to the greatest extent
practicable, be collected directly from the subject individual (see
paragraph (d) of this section).
</p><p>(b) The Commission will inform each individual whom it asks
to supply information about himself, on the form which it uses to
collect the information, or on a separate sheet that can be easily
retained by the individual, in language which is explicit,
informative, and easily understood, and not so lengthy as to deter
an individual from reading it, of:
</p><p>(1) The specific provision of the statute or executive order
of the President, including the brief title or subject of that
statute or order which authorizes the solicitation of the
information; whether disclosure of such information is mandatory or
voluntary; and whether the Commission is authorized or required to
impose penalties for failing to respond;
</p><p>(2) The principal purpose or purposes for which the
information is intended to be used;
</p><p>(3) The routine uses which may be made of the information, as
described in the <i>Federal Register</i> in the notice of the system
of records in which the information is maintained, and which are
relatable and necessary to a purpose described pursuant to paragraph
(b)(2) of this section; and
</p>
<p>(4) The effects (beneficial and adverse) on the individual if
any, of not providing all or any part of the requested information.
</p><p>(c) Social security numbers will not be required from
individuals whom the Commission asks to supply information unless
the disclosure of the number is required by Federal statute or
unless disclosure is to the Commission maintaining a system of
records in existence and operating before January 1, 1975, if such
disclosure was required pursuant to a statute or regulation adopted
prior to such date to verify the identity of an individual. When an
individual is requested to disclose his social security number to
the Commission, he will be informed under what statutory or other
authority such number is solicited, what uses will be made of it,
whether disclosure is mandatory or voluntary, and if it is
mandatory, under what provisions of law or regulation.
</p><p>(d) The use of third-party sources to collect information
about an individual may be appropriate in certain circumstances. In
determining when the use of third-party sources would be
appropriate, the following considerations will govern:
</p><p>(1) When the information needed can only be obtained from a
third party;
</p><p>(2) When the cost of collecting the information directly from
the individual concerned far exceeds the cost of collecting it from
a third party;
</p><p>(3) When there is little risk that the information proposed
to be collected from the third party, if inaccurate, could result in
an adverse determination about the individual concerned.
</p><p>(4) When there is a need to insure the accuracy of
information supplied by an individual by verifying it with a third
party, or there is a need to obtain a qualitative assessment of the
individual's capabilities or character; or
</p><p>(5) When there are provisions for verifying any third-party
information with the individual concerned before making a
determination based on that information.
</p><p>Third party sources, where feasible, will be informed of the
purposes for which information which they are asked to provide will
be used. In appropriate circumstances, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)
(2), (5), and (7), the Commission may assure a third party that his
identity will not be revealed to the subject of the collected
information.

</p><p><b>&#167;3b.203
 Rules of conduct.
</b></p><p>(a) The Executive Director of the Commission has the
overall administrative responsibility for implementing the
provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 and overseeing the conduct of
all Commission employees with respect to the act.
</p><p>(b) It is the responsibility of the Comptroller of the
Commission, under the guidance of the Executive Director, to prepare
the appropriate internal administrative procedures to assure that
all persons involved in the design, development, or operation of any
system of records, or in collecting, using, or disseminating any
individual record, and who have access to any system of records, are
informed of all rules and requirements of the Commission to protect
the privacy of the individuals who are the subjects of the records,
including the applicable provisions of the FPC Standards of Conduct
for Employees, Special Government Employees and Commissioners,
specifically 18 CFR 3.207(e) and 3.228(d).
</p><p>(c) The Director, Office of Personnel Programs, is
responsible for establishing and conducting an adequate training
program for such persons whose official duties require access to and
collection, maintenance, use, and dissemination of such records.
</p><p>(d) The General Counsel of the Commission is responsible for
providing legal interpretation of the Privacy Act of 1974, and for
preparing all agency rules and notices for official publication in
compliance with the act.
</p><p>(e) Commission employees will be informed of all the
implications of their actions in this area, including especially:
</p><p>(1) That there are criminal penalties for knowing and willful
unauthorized disclosure of material within a system of records; for
willful failure to publish a public notice of the existence of a
system of records; and for knowingly and willfully requesting or
obtaining records under false pretenses;
</p><p>(2) That the Commission may be subject to civil suit due to
failure to amend an individual's record in accordance with his
request or failure to review his request in conformity with &#167;
3b.224; refusal to comply with an individual's request of access to
a record under &#167; 3b.221; willful or intentional failure to
maintain a record accurately pursuant to &#167; 3b.201(b) and
consequently a determination is made which is adverse to the
individual; or willful or intentional failure to comply with any
other provision of the Privacy Act of 1974, or any rule promulgated
thereunder, in such a way as to have an adverse effect upon an
individual.

</p><p><b>&#167;3b.204
 Safeguarding information in manual and computer-based record
 systems.
</b></p><p>(a) The administrative and physical controls to protect
the information in the manual and computer-based record systems from
unauthorized access or disclosure will be specified for each system
in the <i>Federal Register.</i> The system managers, who are
responsible for providing protection and accountability of such
records at all times and for insuring that the records are secured
in proper containers whenever they are not in use or under direct
control of authorized persons, will be identified for each system of
records in the <i>Federal Register.</i>
</p>
<p>(b) Whenever records in the manual or computer-based record
systems, including input and output documents, punched cards, and
magnetic tapes or disks, are not under the personal control of an
authorized person, they will be stored in lockable containers and/or
in a secured room, or in alternative storage systems which furnish
an equivalent or greater degree of physical security. In this
regard, the Commission may refer to security guidelines prepared by
the General Services Administration, the Department of Commerce
(National Bureau of Standards), or other agencies with appropriate
knowledge and expertise.
</p><p>(c) Access to and use of records will only be permitted to
persons pursuant to &#167;&#167; 3b.221, 3b.224, and 3b.225. Access
to areas where records are stored will be limited to those persons
whose official duties require work in such areas. Proper control of
data, in any form, associated with the manual and computer-based
record systems will be maintained at all times, including
maintenance of an accounting of removal of the records from the
storage area.
</p><p><b>Subpart C--Rules for Disclosure of Records

</b></p>
<p><b>&#167;3b.220
 Notification of maintenance of records to individuals concerned.
</b></p><p>(a) Upon written request, either in person or by mail, to
the appropriate system manager specified for each system of records,
an individual will be notified whether a system of records
maintained by the Commission and named by the individual contains a
record or records pertaining to him and filed under his individual
name, or some other identifying particular.
</p><p>(b) The system manager may require appropriate identification
pursuant to &#167; 3b.222, and if necessary, may request from the
individual additional information needed to locate the record which
the individual should reasonably be expected to know, such as, but
not limited to, date of birth, place of birth, and a parent's first
name.
</p><p>(c) When practicable, the system manager will provide a
written acknowledgement of the inquiry within ten days of receipt of
the inquiry (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal public holidays)
and notification of whether or not a system of records maintained by
the Commission and named by the individual contains a record
pertaining to him and filed under his individual name or some other
identifying particular. If the system manager is unable to provide
an answer within the ten-day period, he will so inform the
individual in writing, stating the reasons therefor (for good cause
shown), and when it is anticipated that notification will be made.
Such an extension will not exceed fifteen days from receipt of the
inquiry (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal public holidays).
</p><p>(d) <i>For good cause shown,</i> as used in all sections of
this part, includes circumstances such as the following: Where a
search for and/or collection of requested records from inactive
storage, field offices, or other establishments is required; where a
voluminous amount of data is involved; where information on other
individuals must be separated or expunged from the record; or where
consultations are required with other agencies or with others having
a substantial interest in the determination of the request.

</p>
<p><b>&#167;3b.221
 Access of records to individuals concerned.
</b></p><p>(a) Upon written request, either in person or by mail, to
the appropriate system manager specified for each system of records,
any individual may gain access to records or information in a system
of records pertaining to him and filed under his individual name, or
some other identifying particular, to review and to have a copy made
of all or any portion thereof in a form comprehensible to him.
</p><p>(b) A person of his own choosing may accompany the individual
to whom the record pertains when the record is disclosed [see &#167;
3b.222(e)].
</p><p>(c) Before disclosure, the following procedure may apply:
</p>
<p>Medical or psychological records will be disclosed directly to
the individual to whom they pertain unless, in the judgment of the
system manager, in consultation with a medical doctor or a
psychologist, access to such records could have an adverse effect
upon the individual. When the system manager and a doctor determine
that the disclosure of such information could have an adverse effect
upon the individual to whom it pertains, the system manager may
transmit such information to a medical doctor named by the
requesting individual.
</p>
<p>(d) The system manager will provide a written acknowledgement of
the receipt of a request for access within ten days of receipt
(excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal public holidays). Such
acknowledgement may, if necessary, request any additional
information needed to locate the record which the individual may
reasonably be expected to know, and may require appropriate
identification pursuant to &#167; 3b.222 of this part. No
acknowledgment is required if access can be granted within the ten-
day period.
</p><p>(1) If access can be granted, the system manager will notify
the individual, in writing, as to when, and whether access will be
granted in person or by mail, so that access will be provided within
twenty days of the receipt of the request (excluding Saturdays,
Sundays, and legal public holidays). If the system manager is unable
to provide access within twenty days of receipt of the request, he
will inform the individual in writing as to the reasons therefor
(for good cause shown), and when it is anticipated that access will
be granted. If the expected date of access indicated in the written
notification to the individual cannot be met, the system manager
will advise the individual in writing of the delay, the reasons
therefor (for good cause shown), and of a revised date when access
will be granted. Such extensions will not exceed thirty days from
receipt of the request (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal
public holidays).
</p><p>(2) If access cannot be granted, the system manager will
inform the individual, in writing, within twenty days of receipt of
the request (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal public
holidays) of the refusal of his request; the reasons for the
refusal; the right of the individual, within thirty days of receipt
of the refusal, to request in writing a review of the refusal by the
Chairman of the Federal Power Commission, 825 North Capitol Street,
NE., Washington, DC 20426, or by an officer designated by the
Chairman pursuant to &#167; 3b.224(f); and the right of the
individual to seek advice or assistance from the system manager in
obtaining such a review.
</p><p>(e) The Chairman, or officer designated pursuant to &#167;
3b.224(f), not later than thirty days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays,
and legal public holidays) from the date of receipt of the
individual's request for review will complete such review, unless,
for good cause shown, the Chairman, or designated officer, extends
the thirty-day period in writing to the individual with reasons for
the delay and the approximate date on which the review is expected
to be completed. Such an extension will not exceed thirty-five days
from receipt of the request for review (excluding Saturdays, Sundays
and legal public holidays). The Chairman, or designated officer,
will make one of the following determinations:
</p><p>(1) Grant the individual access to the requested record and
notify the individual, in writing, as to when, and whether access
will be granted in person or by mail; or
</p><p>(2) Inform the individual in writing of the refusal, the
reasons therefor, and the right of the individual to seek judicial
review of the refusal of his request for access.
</p><p>(f)(1) The Commission will deny an individual access to the
following records pertaining to him:
</p><p>(i) Information compiled in reasonable anticipation of a
civil action or proceeding;
</p><p>(ii) Records listed in the <i>Federal Register</i> as exempt
from certain provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974, pursuant to
subpart D of this part; and
</p>
<p>(iii) Records which may be required to be withheld under other
statutory provisions.
</p><p>(2) The Commission will not deny an individual access to a
record pertaining to him because that record is permitted to be
withheld from members of the public under the Freedom of Information
Act, 5 U.S.C. 552, as amended.
</p><p>(g) Disclosure of an original record will take place in the
presence of the Commission representative having physical custody of
the record.

</p><p><b>&#167;3b.222
 Identification requirements.
</b></p><p>The appropriate system manager specified for each system
of records will require reasonable identification from individuals
to assure that records in a system of records are disclosed to the
proper person. Identification requirements will be consistent with
the nature of the records being disclosed.
</p><p>(a) Disclosure of records to the individual to whom the
record pertains, or under whose name or some other identifying
particular the record is filed, in person, requires that the
individual show an identification card. Employee identification, a
Medicare card, or a driver's license are examples of acceptable
identification. Documents incorporating a picture and signature of
the individual are preferred.
</p><p>(b) For records disclosed by mail, the system manager will
require certain minimum identifying information: name, date of
birth, or the system's personal identifier if known to the
individual. A comparison of the signatures of the requester and
those in the record will be used to determine identity.
</p><p>(c) If the system manager determines that the data in the
record is so sensitive that unauthorized access could cause harm or
embarrassment to the individual involved, a signed notarized
statement asserting identity or some other reasonable means to
verify identity will be required.
</p><p>(d) If an individual can provide no suitable information or
documents for identification, the system manager will require a
signed statement from the individual asserting his identity and
stipulating that the individual understands that knowingly or
willfully seeking or obtaining access to records about an individual
under false pretenses is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to
$5,000.
</p><p>(e) The system manager will require an individual who wishes
to be accompanied by another person when reviewing his records to
furnish a signed written statement authorizing discussion of his
records in the presence of the accompanying person.
</p><p>(f) The appropriate identification requirements of this
section may be required by a system manager from an individual to
whom a record does not pertain who seeks access to the record
pursuant to &#167; 3b.225 of this part.
</p><p>(g) No individual will be denied notification of maintenance
of a record pursuant to &#167; 3b.220 or access to a record pursuant
to &#167;&#167; 3b.221 and 3b.224 for refusing to disclose a social
security number.
</p><p>(h) No verification of identity will be required of
individuals seeking notification of or access to records which are
otherwise available to a member of the public under the Freedom of
Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552, as amended.

</p><p><b>&#167;3b.223
 Fees.
</b></p><p>(a) Fees will be charged for the direct cost of
duplication of records in a system of records when copies are
requested by the individual seeking access to the records. Any
person may obtain a copy of the Commission's schedule of fees by
telephone, by mail or by coming in person to the office of the
appropriate system manager who is responsible for the protection and
accountability of the desired record. Requests for copies of
requested records and payment therefor must be made to the system
manager. Fees will only be charged for costs of $2 or more.
</p><p>(b) Where practicable, self-service duplication of requested
documents may also be made on duplicating machines by the person
requesting the records, on a reimbursable basis to the system
manager, in the presence of the Commission representative having
physical custody of the record. Where data has been extracted from
one of the Commission's systems of records on magnetic tape or
disks, or computer files, copies of the records of these files may
be secured on a reimbursable basis upon written request to the
appropriate system manager. The fee will vary for each requirement,
depending on size and complexity.
</p><p>(c) No fee will be charged in the following instances:
</p><p>(1) When the system manager determines that he can grant
access to records only by providing a copy of the record through the
mail because he cannot provide reasonable means for the individual
to have access in person;
</p><p>(2) For search and review of requested records to determine
if they fall within the disclosure requirements of this part; and
</p><p>(3) When the system manager makes a copy of the record as a
necessary part of the process of making it available for review.
</p><p>(d) Except for requests made by Government agencies,
certification of copies of any official Commission record shall be
accompanied by a fee of $2 per document.

</p><p><b>&#167;3b.224
 Requests to amend records and disputes thereon.
</b></p><p>(a) Upon written request, either in person or by mail, to
the appropriate system manager specified for each system of records,
any individual may amend records in a system of records pertaining
to him and filed under his individual name or some other identifying
particular. Such requests should contain identifying information
needed to locate the record, a brief description of the item or
items of information to be amended, and information in support of
the request for amendment. The individual may obtain assistance in
preparing his request to amend a record from the appropriate system
manager.
</p><p>(b) The system manager will provide a written acknowledgement
of the receipt of a request to amend within ten days of receipt
(excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal public holidays). Such an
acknowledgement may, if necessary, request any additional
information needed to make a determination which the individual may
reasonably be expected to know, and verification of identity
consistent with &#167; 3b.222. The acknowledgement will clearly
describe the request and advise the individual requesting the
amendment when he may expect to be notified of action taken on the
request. No acknowledgement is required if the request can be
reviewed, processed, and the individual notified of compliance or
denial within the ten-day period.
</p><p>(c) The system manager will complete the review and advise
the individual in writing of the results within twenty days of the
receipt of the request (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal
public holidays). If the system manager is unable to complete the
review within twenty days of the receipt of the request, he will
inform the individual in writing as to the reasons therefor (for
good cause shown) and when it is anticipated that the review will be
completed. If the completion date for the review indicated in the
acknowledgement cannot be met, the system manager will advise the
individual in writing of the delay, the reasons therefor (for good
cause shown), and of a revised date when the review may be expected
to be completed. Such extensions will not exceed thirty days from
receipt of the request (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal
public holidays). The system manager will take one of the following
actions:
</p><p>(1) Make the requested correction or amendment; so advise the
individual in writing; and, where an accounting of the disclosure of
the record was made pursuant to &#167; 3b.226, advise all previous
recipients of the record in writing of the fact that the amendment
was made and the substance of the amendment [see &#167; 3b.225(d)];
or
</p><p>(2) Inform the individual in writing of the refusal to amend
the record in accordance with the request; the reasons for the
refusal including any of the standards which were employed pursuant
to paragraph (d) of this section in conducting the review; the right
of the individual, within thirty days of receipt of the refusal, to
request in writing a review of the refusal by the Chairman of the
Federal Power Commission, 825 North Capitol Street, NE., Washington,
DC 20426, or by an officer designated by the Chairman pursuant to
paragraph (f) of this section; and the right of the individual to
seek advice or assistance from the system manager in obtaining such
a review.
</p><p>(d) In reviewing a record in response to a request to amend,
the system manager and the Chairman, or the officer he designates
pursuant to paragraph (f) of this section, shall assess the
accuracy, relevance, timeliness and completeness of the record. They
shall consider the record in terms of the criteria established in
&#167; 3b.201 of this part.
</p><p>(e) The Chairman, or officer designated pursuant to paragraph
(f) of this section, not later than thirty days (excluding
Saturdays, Sundays, and legal public holidays) from the date of
receipt of the individual's request for review, will complete such
review, unless, for good cause shown, the Chairman, or designated
officer, extends the thirty-day period in a writing to the
individual with reasons for the delay and the approximate date on
which the review is expected to be completed. Such an extension will
not exceed thirty-five days from receipt of the request for review
(excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal public holidays). The
Chairman, or designated officer, will make one of the following
determinations:
</p><p>(1) Make the correction in accordance with the individual's
request and proceed as in paragraph (c)(1) of this section; or
</p><p>(2) Inform the individual in writing of:
</p><p>(i) The refusal to amend the record in accordance with the
request,
</p><p>(ii) The reasons therefor, including any of the standards
which were employed pursuant to paragraph (d) of this section in
conducting the review;
</p><p>(iii) The right of the individual to file with the Chairman,
or designated officer, a concise written statement setting forth the
reasons for his disagreement with the decision;
</p><p>(iv) The fact that the statement of disagreement will be made
available to anyone to whom the record is subsequently disclosed,
together with the portion of the record which is disputed clearly
noted, and, with, at the discretion of the Chairman, or designated
officer, a brief statement by the Chairman, or designated officer,
summarizing the reasons for refusing to amend the record;
</p><p>(v) Where an accounting of the disclosure of the record was
made pursuant to &#167; 3b.226 of this part, the fact that prior
recipients of the disputed record will be provided a copy of the
individual's statement of disagreement, with the portion of the
record which is disputed clearly noted, and, at the Chairman's or
designated officer's discretion, the statement summarizing the
refusal to amend [see &#167; 3b.225(d)]; and
</p><p>(vi) The individual's right to seek judicial review of the
refusal to amend.
</p><p>(f) The Chairman may designate, in writing, another officer
of the Commission to act in his capacity for the purposes of this
part. The officer will be organizationally independent of or senior
to the system manager who made the initial determination and will
conduct a review independent of the initial determination.

identifying particular, the record is filed. The written request or
consent should include, at a minimum, the general purposes for or
the types of recipients to whom disclosure may be made. The fact

manager specified for each system of records with advance adequate
written assurance that the record will be used solely as a
statistical research or reporting record, and the record is to be
transferred in a form that is not individually identifiable. The
written statement of assurance should include at a minimum:
</p><p>(i) A statement of the purpose for requesting the record; and
</p><p>(ii) Certification that the record will only be used for
statistical purposes.
</p><p>In addition to stripping personally identifying information
from records released for statistical purposes, the system manager
will ensure that the identity of the individual cannot reasonably be

by reference to public records or other available sources of
information;

to 44 U.S.C. 2103, as a record which has sufficient historical or
other value to warrant its continued preservation by the United
States Government, or for the evaluation by the Administrator of
General Services or his designee to determine whether the record has
such value;
</p><p>(7) To another agency or to an instrumentality of any
governmental jurisdiction within or under the control of the United
States for a civil or criminal law enforcement activity if the
activity is authorized by law, and if the head of the agency or
instrumentality, or his delegated official, has made a written
request to the appropriate system manager specifying the particular
portion of the record desired and the law enforcement activity for
which the record is being sought;
</p><p>(8) To a person pursuant to a showing of compelling

subcommittee thereof, on a matter within its jurisdiction;
</p><p>(10) To the Comptroller General, or any of his authorized

</p><p>(11) Pursuant to the order of a court of competent
jurisdiction.
</p><p>(c) When a record is disclosed under compulsory legal process
and such process becomes a matter of public record, the system
manager will make reasonable efforts to notify the individual to
whom the record pertains. A notice will be sent to the individual's
last known address noted in the Commission's files.
</p><p>(d) The appropriate system manager shall notify all prior
recipients of records, disclosure to whom an accounting was made
pursuant to &#167; 3b.226, of any amendments made to the records,
including corrections, amendments and notations of dispute made
pursuant to &#167;&#167; 3b.224(c)(1) and 3b.224(e)(1) and (2)(v),

pursuant to &#167; 3b.225(b)(7), and unless the system of records
has been exempted from this provision pursuant to subpart D of this
part, each system manager will make the accounting made under
paragraph (a) of this section available to the individual named in
the record at his written request.
</p><p>(d) The accounting of disclosures is not a system of records
