ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, as amended, the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission (OSHRC) is proposing in this notice the addition of a new system of records; the bifurcation of an existing system of records; the deletion of a duplicative system of records; and revisions to preexisting systems of records, including the addition of new routine uses. DATES: Comments must be received by the OSHRC by May 15, 2006. The new and revised systems of records will become effective on June 13, 2006, without any further notice in the Federal Register, unless comments or government approval procedures necessitate otherwise. ADDRESSES: The Commission will accept and consider all written comments. Submit any written comments by mail or fax to Ron Bailey, Attorney Advisor, Office of General Counsel, OSHRC, 1120 20th Street, NW., Ninth Floor, Washington, DC 20036–3457; Fax Number, (202) 606– 5417. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ron Bailey, Attorney Advisor, Office of General Counsel, (202) 606–5410, rbailey@oshrc.gov. The Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4), requires federal agencies such as OSHRC to propose additions and revision to its systems of records in a Federal Register publication. As detailed below, OSHRC is proposing the addition of a new system of records; the bifurcation of an existing system of records; the deletion of a duplicative system of records; and revisions to preexisting systems of records, including the addition of new routine uses. OSHRC is also proposing changes, both superficial and substantive, to its blanket routine uses. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Blanket Routine Uses OSHRC’s current Blanket Routine Uses (BRUs) are published in 66 FR 42689 (Aug. 14, 2001). OSHRC proposes the following changes to its BRUs. In the sentence preceding the list of BRUs, OSHRC would add the qualification that records will be PO 00000 Frm 00081 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 disclosed as a routine use only if ‘‘disclosure of the record or information is compatible with the purpose for which the record or information was collected.’’ As the definition of ‘‘routine use’’ includes this compatibility requirement, see 5 U.S.C. 552a(a)(7), it should apply to all BRUs. For the purpose of streamlining the notice, OSHRC would combine BRUs 1 and 2. Despite the merger, the categories of users and the purposes for using any disclosed records would remain the same. OSHRC would reword the first sentence of BRU 3 to clarify the scope of the routine use, but again, the categories of users and the purposes for using any disclosed records would not change. OSHRC would broaden BRUs 4 and 5 to include records relevant to OSHRC decisions concerning appointment of employees, suspension or revocation of security clearances, and the execution of security or suitability investigations. The current versions of these BRUs include decisions concerning the hiring or retention of employees, and the issuance of security clearances, but fail to reference the related areas of decision-making noted above. OSHRC would add a sentence to the end of BRU 6, notifying the reader that ‘‘[r]ecords will be disclosed only to the extent that the information is relevant and necessary to the case or matter.’’ OSHRC would add a similar qualification to BRU 8. These qualifications reflect the importance of protecting an individual’s records from unnecessary disclosures. Moreover, the Privacy Act could be read to require that disclosure, pursuant to a routine use, may occur only when relevant and necessary to accomplish a mandated purpose: Section 552a(e)(1) instructs an agency to ‘‘maintain in its records only such information about an individual as is relevant and necessary to accomplish a purpose of the agency required to be accomplished by statute or by executive order of the President’’; because the Privacy Act defines ‘‘maintain’’ as including ‘‘maintain, collect, use, or disseminate,’’ the requirement stated in (e)(1) seemingly applies to the dissemination of records via routine uses. OSHRC would edit the language in BRU 10 to more precisely reflect when records may be disclosed. The BRU would also be modified to require written requests from the subjects of the records. Also, OSHRC would modify BRU 12 to reflect that, pursuant to 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) handles records management inspections. E:\FR\FM\14APN1.SGM 14APN1 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 72 / Friday, April 14, 2006 / Notices Finally, OSHRC would renumber BRUs 1 and 2 as BRU 1, decrease BRU 3 through BRU 10 by one in number, and renumber BRU 12 as BRU 10. OSHRC would also makes several minor changes in wording, such as exclusively using ‘‘OSHRC,’’ rather than referring to OSHRC as both ‘‘the Review Commission’’ and ‘‘OSHRC.’’ wwhite on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES II. Deleted System of Records In accordance with the directive of Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular No. A–130, OSHRC proposes deleting the system of records, ‘‘Applications for Employment,’’ OSHRC–3, because such records are covered by the Office of Personnel Management’s (OPM’s) governmentwide system of records, ‘‘Recruiting, Examining and Placement Records,’’ OPM/GOVT–5, 61 FR 36929, July 15, 1996. These records are exempted as claimed in 5 CFR 297.501(b)(7). III. New and Revised Systems of Records OSHRC conducted a review of the systems of records that it presently maintains. OSHRC’s review uncovered one system of records—a visitors’ log— that is not included in OSHRC current system-of-records notice. OSHRC proposes creating a new system for these records and designating it as OSHRC–9. OSHRC also proposes creating a separate system for public transportation benefit records, which presently are part of the system ‘‘Payroll and Related Records,’’ and designating it as OSHRC–3. OSHRC proposes the following general revisions to preexisting systems of records. First, OSHRC would revise the system locations and system managers in the notice to reflect changes in office names and position titles and, where appropriate, to make reference to OSHRC’s offices in Atlanta, Georgia, and Denver, Colorado. Second, having reviewed the authority for maintaining each system, OSHRC would make various changes that mostly consist of citing additional authority or a more specific provision, or modifying a citation to reflect that the provision has been renumbered or superseded. Third, OSHRC would modify the explanations for notification, record access, and contesting record procedures to include citations to the relevant regulatory provisions. Fourth, as to each system of records in the notice, OSHRC would add the section, ‘‘Security Classification,’’ and note that the security classification for each system of records is ‘‘none.’’ Adding this section to each system would standardize the data elements included in the notice, as VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:37 Apr 13, 2006 Jkt 208001 the section is already included in the latest notice covering systems OSHRC– 7 and OSHRC–8, see 70 FR 68479, Nov. 10, 2005. Fifth, OSHRC would modify retention and disposal policies to be in accordance with NARA’s General Records Schedule (GRS) requirements. Finally, OSHRC would correct various grammatical errors and reword sentences for clarification. In addition to these general revisions, OSHRC is also proposing changes to other matters in each preexisting system of records that warrant more detailed explanations. As to ‘‘Travel Records,’’ OSHRC–1, OSHRC proposes the following changes. First, OSHRC would use more precise language and provide additional details in order to clarify the categories of individuals covered by the system of records and the records included therein. Second, OSHRC would modify the ‘‘purpose’’ section to include ‘‘planning, authorizing, and tracking employees’ official travel, and processing travel vouchers and other travel-related payments.’’ Third, OSHRC would delete the routine use that authorizes disclosure of records to ‘‘agency employees for budget preparation purposes’’ because the routine-use exception, section 552a(b)(3), was not intended to include intra-agency disclosures, see OMB Guidelines, 40 FR 56741, 56742, December 4, 1975. Rather, such disclosures are covered by section 552a(b)(1), which pertains to disclosures to employees ‘‘who have a need for the record in the performance of their duties.’’ Fourth, OSHRC would delete the routine use authorizing disclosure of records to ‘‘Members of Congress in their oversight capacity,’’ because this use is covered by section 552a(b)(10), and to the extent that section 552a(b)(10) does not apply to specific Members of Congress, this routine use is covered by BRU 10 (BRU 9 in the proposed notice). Finally, OSHRC would delete the routine use that authorizes disclosure ‘‘to other agencies, as appropriate,’’ because this use is probably too broad, and it is doubtful that ‘‘as appropriate’’ constitutes a permissible purpose, see Britt v. Naval Investigative Service, 886 F.2d 544, 547 (3d Cir. 1989). As to ‘‘Lists for News Releases, Speeches, Booklets, Reports,’’ OSHRC– 2, OSHRC proposes the following changes. OSHRC would delete the routine use authorizing disclosure of records ‘‘[t]o agency employees for information dissemination,’’ as this use is covered by section 552a(b)(1). OSHRC would modify the routine use authorizing disclosure of records ‘‘to other agencies, as appropriate,’’ to PO 00000 Frm 00082 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 19557 require a written request, and to limit disclosure to instances that are ‘‘compatible with the purpose for which the record or information was collected.’’ As to ‘‘Payroll and Related Records,’’ OSHRC–4, OSHRC proposes the following changes. First, OSHRC would provide additional details about what categories of records are included in this system. The current notice merely lists documents without specifying what personal identifying information is included therein. Second, OSHRC would add a variety of routine uses, including disclosure of records to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Finance Center (NFC), the entity with which OSHRC has contracted to provide various payroll services; disclosure of records to other agencies pursuant to various debt collection and computer matching statutes that have been enacted over the last couple decades; disclosure of records (via NFC) to certain federal agencies and other relevant entities for purposes of maintaining records on issues related to taxes and benefits; and disclosure of records to the Office of Child Support Enforcement, Administration for Children and Families, Department of Health and Human Services, as required by the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, 42 U.S.C. 653(n). As to this last routine use, OSHRC would adopt the language recommended by OMB in ‘‘Privacy Act Responsibilities for Implementing the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconcilation Act of 1996,’’ Nov. 3, 1997, available at https:// www.whitehouse.gov/omb/inforeg/ katzen_prwora.pdf. Third, OSHRC would revise the explanation of how records are stored, noting that records submitted electronically to NFC are backed up on a floppy disk, which is stored with the paper records. Finally, OSHRC would provide additional details pertaining to the safeguarding of records, explaining how records located on personal computers are protected, and how records regarding OSHRC employees are maintained by NFC. As to ‘‘Cases Pending in General Counsel’s Office,’’ OSHRC–5, OSHRC proposes the following changes. First, OSHRC would rename the system ‘‘Office of the General Counsel Records,’’ as this better reflects the various records that this system includes. Second, OSHRC would expand the categories of individuals covered by this system because some of the records maintained by OGC’s Office include references to Commissioners, Administrative Law Judges, FOIA E:\FR\FM\14APN1.SGM 14APN1 wwhite on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES 19558 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 72 / Friday, April 14, 2006 / Notices requesters, and parties to OSHRC cases, in addition to the categories of individuals mentioned in the current notice. Third, OSHRC would include additional records in this system to account for work product maintained by attorney advisors and supervisors on personal computers and information related to FOIA requests, as well as other unforeseen legal matters that may require OGC’s Office to maintain personal identifiable information. Fourth, OSHRC would revise the purpose of this system to reflect the variety of matters handled by OGC’s Office and to account for staff members’ use of personal computers to organize their work product. Fifth, OSHRC would delete the routine uses that pertain to intra-agency disclosures because, as previously mentioned, such disclosures are covered by section 552a(b)(1). Finally, OSHRC would revise its policy for storage, retention and disposal, and safeguarding to reference the additional records that OSHRC proposes including in this system. As to ‘‘Case Management/Tracking System,’’ OSHRC–6, OSHRC proposes the following changes. First, in addition to records in the electronic tracking system, OSHRC would include the original case files and various lists used for administrative purposes in the system of records. Also, OSHRC would revise the notice to reflect that the Executive Secretary’s Office maintains many of these files. Second, OSHRC would revise the categories of individuals covered by this system to include parties in cases that have been, or presently are, before OSHRC, in addition to Commission members, ALJs, and representatives participating in those cases. OSHRC would also omit information that is irrelevant to which categories of individuals are covered by the system. Third, OSHRC would list the categories of records that are currently maintained in the case tracking system, some of which are included in the current notice, and would also include the categories of records maintained by the Executive Secretary’s Office. Fourth, OSHRC would revise the ‘‘purpose’’ section of the notice to explain that the records in this system are maintained for the purpose of processing OSHRC cases. Fifth, OSHRC would delete the routine uses that pertain to intra-agency disclosures because, as previously mentioned, such disclosures are covered by section 552a(b)(1). Also, OSHRC would add routine uses authorizing disclosure of records to a bar association or similar federal, state, or local VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:37 Apr 13, 2006 Jkt 208001 licensing authority for a possible disciplinary action; and, in accordance with 29 U.S.C. 661(g), disclosure of records to the public for the purpose of inspecting and/or copying the records. Sixth, OSHRC would revise its storage and safeguarding policies to reflect that paper case files are maintained in a room protected by smartcard technology, and that the Executive Secretary’s Office may maintain some records on personal computers. Seventh, OSHRC would revise the notice to describe the various methods by which electronic records can be retrieved using the case tracking system because the description in the current notice is no longer accurate. Finally, OSHRC would explain how records maintained by the Executive Secretary’s Office are retrieved. OSHRC’s proposed BRUs and systems of records are published in their entirety below.

Government-wide systems of records are established by Federal agencies, such as the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and the Government Accountability Office (GAO), responsible for government-wide functions. These systems are described in notices published by the establishing agency. While the establishing agency creates and administers the systems, the actual records are physically maintained at agencies throughout the government, such as OSHRC. Requests for OSHRC records covered by a government-wide system of records should be directed to OSHRC. In accordance with the directive of Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular No. A–130, OSHRC is not providing notice of internal systems of records that wholly PO 00000 Frm 00083 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 or partly duplicate existing governmentwide systems of records. Blanket Routine Uses In addition to the disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 552a(b), including the specific routine uses set forth for each system of records, OSHRC may disclose a record or information in a Privacy Act system of records under 5 U.S.C. 552a in the following circumstances, provided that disclosure of the record or information is compatible with the purpose for which the record or information was collected.

(2) In the event that a record in OSHRC’s systems of records indicates on its face, or in conjunction with other information, a violation or potential violation of law, whether civil, criminal or regulatory in nature, and whether arising by general statute or order issued pursuant thereto, the relevant record may be referred, as a blanket 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, or rule, regulation or order issued pursuant thereto. (3) A record from an OSHRC system of records may be disclosed as a blanket routine use to a Federal, state or local agency maintaining civil, criminal or other relevant enforcement information, such as current licenses, if necessary to obtain information relevant to an OSHRC decision concerning the hiring, appointment, or retention of an employee; the issuance, renewal, suspension, or revocation of a security clearance; the execution of a security or suitability investigation; the letting of a E:\FR\FM\14APN1.SGM 14APN1 wwhite on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 72 / Friday, April 14, 2006 / Notices contract; or the issuance of a license, grant or other benefit.

Records will be disclosed only to the extent that the information is relevant and necessary to the requesting agency’s decision in the matter. (5) A record from an OSHRC system of records may be disclosed as a blanket routine use to an authorized appeal grievance examiner, formal complaints manager, equal employment opportunity investigator, arbitrator, or other duly authorized official engaged in investigation or settlement of a grievance, complaint, or appeal filed by an employee. Records will be disclosed only to the extent that the information is relevant and necessary to the case or matter. (6) A record from an OSHRC system of records may be disclosed as a blanket routine use to OPM in accordance with the agency’s responsibilities for evaluation and oversight of federal personnel management.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Variable-Rate Premiums Section 4006(a)(3)(E)(iii)(II) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) and § 4006.4(b)(1) of the PBGC’s regulation on Premium Rates (29 CFR part 4006) prescribe use of an assumed interest rate (the ‘‘required interest rate’’) in determining a single-employer plan’s variable-rate premium. The required interest rate is the ‘‘applicable percentage’’ (currently 85 percent) of the annual yield on 30year Treasury securities for the month preceding the beginning of the plan year for which premiums are being paid (the ‘‘premium payment year’’). The required interest rate to be used in determining variable-rate premiums for premium payment years beginning in April 2006 is 4.02 percent (i.e., 85 percent of the 4.73 percent Treasury Securities Rate for March 2006). The Pension Funding Equity Act of 2004 (‘‘PFEA’’)—under which the required interest rate is 85 percent of the annual rate of interest determined by the Secretary of the Treasury on amounts invested conservatively in long-term investment grade corporate bonds for the month preceding the beginning of the plan year for which premiums are being paid—applies only for premium payment years beginning in 2004 or 2005. Congress is considering legislation that would extend the PFEA rate for one more year. If legislation that changes the rules for determining the required interest rate for plan years beginning in April 2006 is adopted, the PBGC will promptly publish a Federal Register notice with the new rate.

Similarly, section 4062.7 of the PBGC’s regulation on Liability for Termination of SingleEmployer Plans (29 CFR part 4062) requires that interest be charged or credited at the section 6601 rate on underpayments and overpayments of employer liability under section 4062 of ERISA.

OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH REVIEW COMMISSION


Privacy Act of 1974; New and Revised Systems of Records, and 
Deletion of a Duplicative System of Records

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, as 
amended, the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission (OSHRC) 
is proposing in this notice the addition of a new system of records; 
the bifurcation of an existing system of records; the deletion of a 
duplicative system of records; and revisions to preexisting systems of 
records, including the addition of new routine uses.

DATES: Comments must be received by the OSHRC by May 15, 2006. The new 
and revised systems of records will become effective on June 13, 2006, 
without any further notice in the Federal Register, unless comments or 
government approval procedures necessitate otherwise.

ADDRESSES: The Commission will accept and consider all written 
comments. Submit any written comments by mail or fax to Ron Bailey, 
Attorney Advisor, Office of General Counsel, OSHRC, 1120 20th Street, 
NW., Ninth Floor, Washington, DC 20036-3457; Fax Number, (202) 606-
5417.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ron Bailey, Attorney Advisor, Office 
of General Counsel, (202) 606-5410, rbailey@oshrc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 
552a(e)(4), requires federal agencies such as OSHRC to propose 
additions and revision to its systems of records in a Federal Register 
publication. As detailed below, OSHRC is proposing the addition of a 
new system of records; the bifurcation of an existing system of 
records; the deletion of a duplicative system of records; and revisions 
to preexisting systems of records, including the addition of new 
routine uses. OSHRC is also proposing changes, both superficial and 
substantive, to its blanket routine uses.

I. Blanket Routine Uses

    OSHRC's current Blanket Routine Uses (BRUs) are published in 66 FR 
42689 (Aug. 14, 2001). OSHRC proposes the following changes to its 
BRUs.
    In the sentence preceding the list of BRUs, OSHRC would add the 
qualification that records will be disclosed as a routine use only if 
``disclosure of the record or information is compatible with the 
purpose for which the record or information was collected.'' As the 
definition of ``routine use'' includes this compatibility requirement, 
see 5 U.S.C. 552a(a)(7), it should apply to all BRUs.
    For the purpose of streamlining the notice, OSHRC would combine 
BRUs 1 and 2. Despite the merger, the categories of users and the 
purposes for using any disclosed records would remain the same. OSHRC 
would reword the first sentence of BRU 3 to clarify the scope of the 
routine use, but again, the categories of users and the purposes for 
using any disclosed records would not change. OSHRC would broaden BRUs 
4 and 5 to include records relevant to OSHRC decisions concerning 
appointment of employees, suspension or revocation of security 
clearances, and the execution of security or suitability 
investigations. The current versions of these BRUs include decisions 
concerning the hiring or retention of employees, and the issuance of 
security clearances, but fail to reference the related areas of 
decision-making noted above.
    OSHRC would add a sentence to the end of BRU 6, notifying the 
reader that ``[r]ecords will be disclosed only to the extent that the 
information is relevant and necessary to the case or matter.'' OSHRC 
would add a similar qualification to BRU 8. These qualifications 
reflect the importance of protecting an individual's records from 
unnecessary disclosures. Moreover, the Privacy Act could be read to 
require that disclosure, pursuant to a routine use, may occur only when 
relevant and necessary to accomplish a mandated purpose: Section 
552a(e)(1) instructs an agency to ``maintain in its records only such 
information about an individual as is relevant and necessary to 
accomplish a purpose of the agency required to be accomplished by 
statute or by executive order of the President''; because the Privacy 
Act defines ``maintain'' as including ``maintain, collect, use, or 
disseminate,'' the requirement stated in (e)(1) seemingly applies to 
the dissemination of records via routine uses.
    OSHRC would edit the language in BRU 10 to more precisely reflect 
when records may be disclosed. The BRU would also be modified to 
require written requests from the subjects of the records. Also, OSHRC 
would modify BRU 12 to reflect that, pursuant to 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 
2906, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) handles 
records management inspections.

[[Page 19557]]

    Finally, OSHRC would renumber BRUs 1 and 2 as BRU 1, decrease BRU 3 
through BRU 10 by one in number, and renumber BRU 12 as BRU 10. OSHRC 
would also makes several minor changes in wording, such as exclusively 
using ``OSHRC,'' rather than referring to OSHRC as both ``the Review 
Commission'' and ``OSHRC.''

II. Deleted System of Records

    In accordance with the directive of Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) Circular No. A-130, OSHRC proposes deleting the system of 
records, ``Applications for Employment,'' OSHRC-3, because such records 
are covered by the Office of Personnel Management's (OPM's) government-
wide system of records, ``Recruiting, Examining and Placement 
Records,'' OPM/GOVT-5, 61 FR 36929, July 15, 1996. These records are 
exempted as claimed in 5 CFR 297.501(b)(7).

III. New and Revised Systems of Records

    OSHRC conducted a review of the systems of records that it 
presently maintains. OSHRC's review uncovered one system of records--a 
visitors' log--that is not included in OSHRC current system-of-records 
notice. OSHRC proposes creating a new system for these records and 
designating it as OSHRC-9. OSHRC also proposes creating a separate 
system for public transportation benefit records, which presently are 
part of the system ``Payroll and Related Records,'' and designating it 
as OSHRC-3.
    OSHRC proposes the following general revisions to preexisting 
systems of records. First, OSHRC would revise the system locations and 
system managers in the notice to reflect changes in office names and 
position titles and, where appropriate, to make reference to OSHRC's 
offices in Atlanta, Georgia, and Denver, Colorado. Second, having 
reviewed the authority for maintaining each system, OSHRC would make 
various changes that mostly consist of citing additional authority or a 
more specific provision, or modifying a citation to reflect that the 
provision has been renumbered or superseded. Third, OSHRC would modify 
the explanations for notification, record access, and contesting record 
procedures to include citations to the relevant regulatory provisions. 
Fourth, as to each system of records in the notice, OSHRC would add the 
section, ``Security Classification,'' and note that the security 
classification for each system of records is ``none.'' Adding this 
section to each system would standardize the data elements included in 
the notice, as the section is already included in the latest notice 
covering systems OSHRC-7 and OSHRC-8, see 70 FR 68479, Nov. 10, 2005. 
Fifth, OSHRC would modify retention and disposal policies to be in 
accordance with NARA's General Records Schedule (GRS) requirements. 
Finally, OSHRC would correct various grammatical errors and reword 
sentences for clarification. In addition to these general revisions, 
OSHRC is also proposing changes to other matters in each preexisting 
system of records that warrant more detailed explanations.
    As to ``Travel Records,'' OSHRC-1, OSHRC proposes the following 
changes. First, OSHRC would use more precise language and provide 
additional details in order to clarify the categories of individuals 
covered by the system of records and the records included therein. 
Second, OSHRC would modify the ``purpose'' section to include 
``planning, authorizing, and tracking employees' official travel, and 
processing travel vouchers and other travel-related payments.'' Third, 
OSHRC would delete the routine use that authorizes disclosure of 
records to ``agency employees for budget preparation purposes'' because 
the routine-use exception, section 552a(b)(3), was not intended to 
include intra-agency disclosures, see OMB Guidelines, 40 FR 56741, 
56742, December 4, 1975. Rather, such disclosures are covered by 
section 552a(b)(1), which pertains to disclosures to employees ``who 
have a need for the record in the performance of their duties.'' 
Fourth, OSHRC would delete the routine use authorizing disclosure of 
records to ``Members of Congress in their oversight capacity,'' because 
this use is covered by section 552a(b)(10), and to the extent that 
section 552a(b)(10) does not apply to specific Members of Congress, 
this routine use is covered by BRU 10 (BRU 9 in the proposed notice). 
Finally, OSHRC would delete the routine use that authorizes disclosure 
``to other agencies, as appropriate,'' because this use is probably too 
broad, and it is doubtful that ``as appropriate'' constitutes a 
permissible purpose, see Britt v. Naval Investigative Service, 886 F.2d 
544, 547 (3d Cir. 1989).
    As to ``Lists for News Releases, Speeches, Booklets, Reports,'' 
OSHRC-2, OSHRC proposes the following changes. OSHRC would delete the 
routine use authorizing disclosure of records ``[t]o agency employees 
for information dissemination,'' as this use is covered by section 
552a(b)(1). OSHRC would modify the routine use authorizing disclosure 
of records ``to other agencies, as appropriate,'' to require a written 
request, and to limit disclosure to instances that are ``compatible 
with the purpose for which the record or information was collected.''
    As to ``Payroll and Related Records,'' OSHRC-4, OSHRC proposes the 
following changes. First, OSHRC would provide additional details about 
what categories of records are included in this system. The current 
notice merely lists documents without specifying what personal 
identifying information is included therein. Second, OSHRC would add a 
variety of routine uses, including disclosure of records to the U.S. 
Department of Agriculture, National Finance Center (NFC), the entity 
with which OSHRC has contracted to provide various payroll services; 
disclosure of records to other agencies pursuant to various debt 
collection and computer matching statutes that have been enacted over 
the last couple decades; disclosure of records (via NFC) to certain 
federal agencies and other relevant entities for purposes of 
maintaining records on issues related to taxes and benefits; and 
disclosure of records to the Office of Child Support Enforcement, 
Administration for Children and Families, Department of Health and 
Human Services, as required by the Personal Responsibility and Work 
Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, 42 U.S.C. 653(n). As to this 
last routine use, OSHRC would adopt the language recommended by OMB in 
``Privacy Act Responsibilities for Implementing the Personal 
Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconcilation Act of 1996,'' Nov. 
3, 1997, available at https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/inforeg/katzen_
prwora.pdf. Third, OSHRC would revise the explanation of how records 
are stored, noting that records submitted electronically to NFC are 
backed up on a floppy disk, which is stored with the paper records. 
Finally, OSHRC would provide additional details pertaining to the 
safeguarding of records, explaining how records located on personal 
computers are protected, and how records regarding OSHRC employees are 
maintained by NFC.
    As to ``Cases Pending in General Counsel's Office,'' OSHRC-5, OSHRC 
proposes the following changes. First, OSHRC would rename the system 
``Office of the General Counsel Records,'' as this better reflects the 
various records that this system includes. Second, OSHRC would expand 
the categories of individuals covered by this system because some of 
the records maintained by OGC's Office include references to 
Commissioners, Administrative Law Judges, FOIA

[[Page 19558]]

requesters, and parties to OSHRC cases, in addition to the categories 
of individuals mentioned in the current notice. Third, OSHRC would 
include additional records in this system to account for work product 
maintained by attorney advisors and supervisors on personal computers 
and information related to FOIA requests, as well as other unforeseen 
legal matters that may require OGC's Office to maintain personal 
identifiable information. Fourth, OSHRC would revise the purpose of 
this system to reflect the variety of matters handled by OGC's Office 
and to account for staff members' use of personal computers to organize 
their work product. Fifth, OSHRC would delete the routine uses that 
pertain to intra-agency disclosures because, as previously mentioned, 
such disclosures are covered by section 552a(b)(1). Finally, OSHRC 
would revise its policy for storage, retention and disposal, and 
safeguarding to reference the additional records that OSHRC proposes 
including in this system.
    As to ``Case Management/Tracking System,'' OSHRC-6, OSHRC proposes 
the following changes. First, in addition to records in the electronic 
tracking system, OSHRC would include the original case files and 
various lists used for administrative purposes in the system of 
records. Also, OSHRC would revise the notice to reflect that the 
Executive Secretary's Office maintains many of these files. Second, 
OSHRC would revise the categories of individuals covered by this system 
to include parties in cases that have been, or presently are, before 
OSHRC, in addition to Commission members, ALJs, and representatives 
participating in those cases. OSHRC would also omit information that is 
irrelevant to which categories of individuals are covered by the 
system. Third, OSHRC would list the categories of records that are 
currently maintained in the case tracking system, some of which are 
included in the current notice, and would also include the categories 
of records maintained by the Executive Secretary's Office. Fourth, 
OSHRC would revise the ``purpose'' section of the notice to explain 
that the records in this system are maintained for the purpose of 
processing OSHRC cases. Fifth, OSHRC would delete the routine uses that 
pertain to intra-agency disclosures because, as previously mentioned, 
such disclosures are covered by section 552a(b)(1). Also, OSHRC would 
add routine uses authorizing disclosure of records to a bar association 
or similar federal, state, or local licensing authority for a possible 
disciplinary action; and, in accordance with 29 U.S.C. 661(g), 
disclosure of records to the public for the purpose of inspecting and/
or copying the records. Sixth, OSHRC would revise its storage and 
safeguarding policies to reflect that paper case files are maintained 
in a room protected by smartcard technology, and that the Executive 
Secretary's Office may maintain some records on personal computers. 
Seventh, OSHRC would revise the notice to describe the various methods 
by which electronic records can be retrieved using the case tracking 
system because the description in the current notice is no longer 
accurate. Finally, OSHRC would explain how records maintained by the 
Executive Secretary's Office are retrieved.
    OSHRC's proposed BRUs and systems of records are published in their 
entirety below.

Government-Wide System-of-Records Notices

    In addition to the internal systems of records described below, 
OSHRC 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 Government Accountability Office (GAO), responsible for government-
wide functions. These systems are described in notices published by the 
establishing agency. While the establishing agency creates and 
administers the systems, the actual records are physically maintained 
at agencies throughout the government, such as OSHRC. Requests for 
OSHRC records covered by a government-wide system of records should be 
directed to OSHRC. In accordance with the directive of Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) Circular No. A-130, OSHRC is not providing 
notice of internal systems of records that wholly or partly duplicate 
existing government-wide systems of records.

Blanket Routine Uses

    In addition to the disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 
552a(b), including the specific routine uses set forth for each system 
of records, OSHRC may disclose a record or information in a Privacy Act 
system of records under 5 U.S.C. 552a in the following circumstances, 
provided that disclosure of the record or information is compatible 
with the purpose for which the record or information was collected.
    (1) It shall be a blanket routine use of the records in OSHRC's 
systems of records to disclose them to the Department of Justice (DOJ), 
or to a court or adjudicative body before which OSHRC is authorized to 
appear, when:
    (a) OSHRC, or any of its components; or
    (b) Any employee of OSHRC in his or her official capacity; or
    (c) Any employee of OSHRC in his or her individual capacity where 
the DOJ (or OSHRC where it is authorized to do so) has agreed to 
represent the employee; or
    (d) The United States, where OSHRC determines that litigation is 
likely to affect OSHRC or any of its components, is a party to 
litigation or has an interest in such litigation, and OSHRC determines 
that the use of such records by DOJ, or by a court or other tribunal, 
or another party before such tribunal, is relevant and necessary to the 
litigation.
    (2) In the event that a record in OSHRC's systems of records 
indicates on its face, or in conjunction with other information, a 
violation or potential violation of law, whether civil, criminal or 
regulatory in nature, and whether arising by general statute or order 
issued pursuant thereto, the relevant record may be referred, as a 
blanket 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, or rule, regulation or order issued pursuant thereto.
    (3) A record from an OSHRC system of records may be disclosed as a 
blanket routine use to a Federal, state or local agency maintaining 
civil, criminal or other relevant enforcement information, such as 
current licenses, if necessary to obtain information relevant to an 
OSHRC decision concerning the hiring, appointment, or retention of an 
employee; the issuance, renewal, suspension, or revocation of a 
security clearance; the execution of a security or suitability 
investigation; the letting of a

[[Page 19559]]

    (4) In response to a request from a Federal, state, or local 
agency, a record from an OSHRC system of records may be disclosed as a 
blanket routine use to the requesting agency if the record is sought in 
connection with the hiring, appointment, or retention of an employee; 
the issuance, renewal, suspension, or revocation of a security 
clearance; the execution of a security or suitability investigation; 
the letting of a contract; or the issuance of a license, grant or other 
benefit by the requesting agency. Records will be disclosed only to the 
extent that the information is relevant and necessary to the requesting 
agency's decision in the matter.
    (5) A record from an OSHRC system of records may be disclosed as a 
blanket routine use to an authorized appeal grievance examiner, formal 
complaints manager, equal employment opportunity investigator, 
arbitrator, or other duly authorized official engaged in investigation 
or settlement of a grievance, complaint, or appeal filed by an 
employee. Records will be disclosed only to the extent that the 
information is relevant and necessary to the case or matter.
    (6) A record from an OSHRC system of records may be disclosed as a 
blanket routine use to OPM in accordance with the agency's 
responsibilities for evaluation and oversight of federal personnel 
management.
    (7) A record from an OSHRC system of records may be disclosed as a 
blanket routine use to officers and employees of a Federal agency for 
the purpose of conducting an audit, but only to the extent that the

    (8) The information contained in an OSHRC system of records may be 
disclosed to the OMB in connection with the review of private relief 
legislation at any stage of the legislative coordination and clearance

blanket routine use to the National Archives and Records Administration 
(NARA) for records management inspections and such other purposes 
conducted under the authority of 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906.

information systems. Specifically, the categories of individuals 
covered by this system of records include: (1) Federal employees, as

detailed to, or assigned to OSHRC; (3) short-term employees of OSHRC, 
whose terms are for 6 or more months; and (4) individuals under 
contract to OSHRC, requiring routine access to OSHRC's federally 
controlled facilities and/or federally controlled information systems.

of the individual being credentialed, and the names, phone numbers, e-
mail addresses, and signatures of the various OSHRC employees 
responsible for sponsoring, registering, and issuing the credential.
    The system of records also contains a passport-sized color 
photograph of each credentialed individual. And, once a National Agency 
Check with Written Inquiries (NACI) has been completed, a copy of the 
OFI-79A, which may include information regarding a credentialed 
individual's criminal history, is included in the system of records.
    Other security forms, such as the Standard Form 85 and a 
fingerprint chart, are completed by each credentialed individual. 
However, these forms are forwarded to the Office of Personnel 
Management (OPM) by overnight/FedEx or by certified mail, return 
receipt requested, and copies of these forms will not be maintained in 
the system of records. Accordingly, these records are covered by OPM's 
notice for OPM/CENTRAL-9, Personnel Investigations Records, see 58 FR

PIV system for use in applications such as access to federally 
controlled facilities and information systems.'' See FIPS 201 sec. 1.1.
    The specific information collected by OSHRC allows OPM to conduct 
NACIs on those individuals being credentialed, assists OSHRC in 
verifying the identity of those for whom credentials have been 
requested, and provides OSHRC the necessary information to issue 
identification cards.
