DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Office of Surface Mining Reclamation
and Enforcement
Privacy Act of 1974; As Amended;
Revisions to the Existing System of
Records
Office of Surface Mining,
Interior.
ACTION: Proposed revisions to an
existing system of records.
AGENCY:

SUMMARY: In accordance with the
Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5
U.S.C. 552a), the Office of Surface
Mining (OSM) is issuing public notice
of its intent to modify an existing
Privacy Act system of records notice,
OSM–8, ‘‘Employment and Financial
Interests Statements—States and Other
Federal Agencies.’’ The revisions will
update the System Name, System
Location address, System Manager(s);
accurately define the Categories of
Individuals Covered by the System,
Categories of Records in the System,
Authority for Maintenance of the
System, Safeguards, Retention and
Disposal; and clarify the Notification
Procedure, Record Access Procedures
and Contesting Record Procedures.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(11)
requires that the public be provided a
30-day period in which to comment on
the intended use of the information in
the system of records. The Office of
Management and Budget, in its Circular
A–130, requires an additional 10-day
period (for a total of 40 days) in which
to make these comments. Any persons
interested in commenting on this
revised system of records may do so by
submitting comments in writing to the

U.S. Department of the Interior, Office
of Surface Mining, Privacy Officer, 1951
Constitution Avenue, NW, Mail Stop
262–SIB, Washington, DC 20240.
Comments received within 40 days of
publication in the Federal Register will
be considered. The system will be
effective as proposed at the end of the
comment period, unless comments are
received which would require a
contrary determination.
ADDRESS: Send written comments to the
U.S. Department of the Interior, Office
of Surface Mining, Privacy Act Officer,
Mail Stop 262–SIB, 1951 Constitution
Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20240.
You may also hand deliver comments to
the same address.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Chief, Office of Personnel, Office of
Surface Mining, 1951 Constitution
Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20240.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Earlier
Privacy Act Compilations list the
systems of records with the prefix
‘‘OSMRE’’ (e.g., OSMRE–8) as originally
published in the Federal Register. The
prefix was changed to ‘‘OSM’’ in
subsequent records systems for
convenience. The OSM is proposing to
amend the system notice for OSM–8
‘‘Employment and Financial Interests
Statements—States and Other Federal
Agencies,’’ previously published in the
Federal Register on June 6, 1989 (54 FR
24270). This revision is needed to
update required data elements as well as
the System Name, System Location,
System Manager(s) and Address. This
revision more precisely defines the
Categories of Individuals Covered by the
System, Categories of Records in the
System, Authority for Maintenance of
the System, as well as Safeguards, and
Retention and Disposal policies and
practices; and makes minor clarifying
changes to the Notification Procedure,
Record Access Procedures and
Contesting Record Procedures.
Accordingly, the OSM proposes to
amend the ‘‘Employment and Financial
Interests Statements—States and Other
Federal Agencies,’’ OSM–8 in its
entirety to read as follows:
Robert Ewing,
Chief Information Officer, Office of Surface
Mining.
