Records
AGENCY: Department of the Interior.
ACTION: Proposed addition of a new system of records.
----------------------------------------------------------------------SUMMARY: The Department of Interior is issuing public notice of its
intent to add a new Department-wide Privacy Act system of records to
its inventory of records systems subject to the Privacy Act of 1974 (5
U.S.C. 552a). This action is necessary to meet the requirements of the
Privacy Act to publish in the Federal Register notice of the existence
and character of records systems maintained by the agency (5 U.S.C.
552a(e)(4)). The new system of records is called the ``DOI-05: The
Volunteer Services File.''
DATES: 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(11) requires that the public be provided a 30day 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 proposed system of records may do so by submitting
comments in writing to the Departmental Privacy Act Officer, U.S.
Department of the Interior, Office of Information Resources Management,
MS 5312 MIB, 1849 C Street, NW., Washington, DC 20240, or by e-mail at
[email protected]. Comments received on or before July 2, 2001
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. In that case the Department will publish any
changes to the routine uses.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Mahoney, Office of Planning and
Performance Management, Office of the Secretary, by phone at 202-2084560, email at: [email protected], or mail at MS-5259-MIB, 1849 C
