[Public Notice: 8870]
The Export Enhancement Program
(EEP) was enacted through the Food,
Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade
Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101–624). Under
the EEP, CCC made available bonuses to
enable U.S. exporters to meet prevailing
world prices for targeted commodities
in targeted destinations. The last year of
operation of the EEP was 2001; since
that time, U.S. agricultural products
have been competitive in world markets
and EEP bonuses have not been needed
to facilitate sales.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
The Dairy Export Incentive Program
(DEIP) was enacted through the Food
Security Act of 1985 (Pub. L. 99–198).
Under the DEIP, CCC made available
bonuses to enable U.S. exporters to meet
prevailing world prices for certain dairy
products in targeted destinations. The
last year of operation of the DEIP was
2010; since that time, bonuses have not
been needed to facilitate sales.
The primary objective of the EEP and
DEIP was to encourage the commercial
sale of United States agricultural
commodities in world markets at
competitive prices. Both programs were
subject to annual commodity-specific
quantity and budgetary ceilings agreed
to by the United States in the World
Trade Organization. Congress repealed
the authority for the EEP in Section
3103 of the Food, Conservation, and
Energy Act of 2008, and subsequently
repealed the authority for the DEIP in
Section 1423 of the Agricultural Act of
2014.

Final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Department of State is
issuing a final rule to amend its Privacy
Act regulation exempting portions of a
system of records from certain
provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974.
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
Certain portions of the Risk Analysis
and Management (RAM) Records, State–
78, system of records contain criminal
investigation records, investigatory
material for law enforcement purposes,
confidential source information and are
proposed to be exempted under the
Privacy Act.
DATES: This final rule is effective
January 14, 2015
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John
Hackett, Acting Director; Office of
Information Programs and Services,
A/GIS/IPS; Department of State, SA–2;
515 22nd Street NW., Washington, DC
20522–8001, or at Privacy@state.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
system, Risk Analysis and Management
(RAM) Records, designated as State–78,
supports the vetting of directors,
officers, or other employees of
organizations who apply for Department
of State contracts, grants, cooperative
agreements, or other funding. The
information collected from these
organizations and individuals is
specifically used to conduct screening
to ensure that Department funds are not
used to provide support to entities or
individuals deemed to be a risk to U.S.
national security interests. The records
may contain criminal investigation
records, investigatory material for law
enforcement purposes, and confidential
source information. (The information
collection was approved under OMB
Control Number 1405–0204, expiration
April 30, 2015.)
The Department of State is issuing
this document to amend 22 CFR part
171 to exempt portions of the Risk
Analysis and Management Records
system of records from the Privacy Act
except sections (b), (c)(1) and (2),
(e)(4)(A) through (F), (e)(6), (7), (9), (10),
and (11), and (i), to the extent to which
they meet the criteria of section (j)(2);
and from subsections (c)(3);(d); (e)(1);
(e)(4)(G), (H), and (I); and (f) of the
Privacy Act pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a
(k)(1), (k)(2), and (k)(5). Consistent with
the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a(k)), 22
CFR 171.36(b)(1), (2), and (5) provide
concise general statements on the
reasoning behind taking exemptions
(k)(1), (k)(2), and (k)(5), respectively, for
the Department systems for which those
exemptions are taken. For ease of
reference, these statements of reasoning
are restated here: STATE–78 is
exempted under (k)(1) in order to
protect material required to be kept
