FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Patrick Opay or Ruth Johnson, (301)713–2289. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 30, 2004, notice was published in the Federal Register (69 FR 69585) that a request for a scientific research permit to take green, leatherback, loggerhead, olive ridley, and hawksbill sea turtles had been submitted by the above-named organization. The requested permit has been issued under the authority of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and the regulations governing the taking, importing, and exporting of endangered and threatened species (50 CFR parts 222–226). Researchers have been issued a 5-year permit to annually measure, photograph, tissue sample, flipper tag and release, or salvage (if dead) 7 green, 34 leatherback, 21 loggerhead, and 42 olive ridley sea turtles that have been captured in the Hawaii longline fishery. The hard-shelled species would also have a pop-up satellite tag (PSAT) attached to their shell. An additional 6 (combined total of all species) hawksbill, olive ridley, loggerhead, and green sea turtles captured in the American Samoa longline fishery would be measured, photographed, tissue sampled, flipper tagged, PSAT tagged and released, or salvaged (if dead). One leatherback captured in the American Samoa longline fishery would also be measured, photographed, tissue sampled, flipper tagged, and released, or salvaged (if dead). Coverage for the incidental capture of turtles in these fisheries would be provided under the incidental take statement of the February 23, 2004 Biological Opinion for the Western Pelagics Fishery Management Plan. The proposed research would provide data on the at sea distribution and movement patterns of sea turtles. It would also investigate the post-release behavior and mortality of hard-shelled turtles that have been hooked or entangled by longline gear. PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Issuance of this permit, as required by the ESA, was based on a finding that such permit (1) was applied for in good faith, (2) will not operate to the disadvantage of such endangered or threatened species, and (3) is consistent with the purposes and policies set forth in section 2 of the ESA.

AGENCY: ACTION: SUMMARY: As required by the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A–130, the Department of Energy (DOE) is publishing a notice of a proposed amendment to an existing system of records and the deletion of a system that will no longer be maintained. DOE has acquired a new financial system that requires new hardware and software. This notice proposes to combine DOE–18 ‘‘Accounts Payable Financial System’’ and DOE–19 ‘‘Accounts Receivable Financial System’’ into a single system of records, eliminate DOE–19 ‘‘Accounts Receivable Financial System’’ from the Department’s inventory of systems of records, rename DOE–18 to ‘‘Financial Accounting System,’’ expand the categories of records maintained in the system, and establish a new routine use provision for DOE–18. DATES: The proposed amendment to an existing system of records will become effective without further notice, on May 12, 2005, unless in advance of that date, DOE receives adverse comments and determines that this amendment should not become effective on that date.

I–MANAGE STARS will provide critical strategic support for the DOE mission as the solution for financial, operational, and reporting requirements to enhance accountability and improve decision-making. The system will maintain the financial information that is currently collected and maintained in two DOE systems of records, DOE–18 ‘‘Accounts Payable Financial System’’ and DOE–19 ‘‘Accounts Receivable Financial System.’’ This notice proposes to amend DOE– 18 ‘‘Accounts Payable Financial System’’ by expanding the categories of records maintained in the system and consolidating the information maintained in DOE–19 ‘‘Accounts Receivable Financial System’’ into the amended DOE–18. This notice also proposes to change the name of DOE– 18 ‘‘Accounts Payable Financial System’’ to DOE–18 ‘‘Financial Accounting System,’’ and establish a new routine use provision.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY


Privacy Act of 1974; Notice of Amendment to an Existing System of 
Records

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: As required by the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, and the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-130, the Department of 
Energy (DOE) is publishing a notice of a proposed amendment to an 
existing system of records and the deletion of a system that will no 
longer be maintained. DOE has acquired a new financial system that 
requires new hardware and software. This notice proposes to combine 
DOE-18 ``Accounts Payable Financial System'' and DOE-19 ``Accounts 
Receivable Financial System'' into a single system of records, 
eliminate DOE-19 ``Accounts Receivable Financial System'' from the 
Department's inventory of systems of records, rename DOE-18 to 
``Financial Accounting System,'' expand the categories of records 
maintained in the system, and establish a new routine use provision for 
DOE-18.

DATES: The proposed amendment to an existing system of records will 
become effective without further notice, on May 12, 2005, unless in 
advance of that date, DOE receives adverse comments and determines that 
this amendment should not become effective on that date.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be directed to the following 
address: U.S. Department of Energy, Abel Lopez, Director, Freedom of 
Information Act and Privacy Act Group, ME-74, 1000 Independence Avenue, 
SW., Washington, DC 20585.

    This notice proposes to amend DOE-18 ``Accounts Payable Financial 
System'' by expanding the categories of records maintained in the 
system and consolidating the information maintained in DOE-19 
``Accounts Receivable Financial System'' into the amended DOE-18. This 
notice also proposes to change the name of DOE-18 ``Accounts Payable 
Financial System'' to DOE-18 ``Financial Accounting System,'' and 
establish a new routine use provision. Since the records maintained in 
DOE-19 will be incorporated into the amended DOE-18, DOE will delete 
DOE-19 ``Accounts Receivable Financial System'' from its inventory of 
systems of records.
    The categories of records section is being amended to include 
employment information and date of birth and gender of the employee, 
contractor, and vendor.
    In addition, this notice also proposes to add a new routine use to 
allow disclosure of information maintained in the system of records to 
the Department of the Treasury. These amendments are necessary to 
provide procedures for paying creditors who provide products and 
services to DOE.
    DOE is submitting the report required by OMB Circular A-130 
concurrently with the publication of this notice. The text of this 
notice contains the information required by the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 
552a(e)(4).

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES 
OF USERS AND THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:
    1. A record from this system may be disclosed as a routine use to 
the appropriate local, State or Federal agency when that record alone 
or in conjunction with other information, indicates a violation or 
potential violation of law, whether civil, criminal, or regulatory in 
nature, and whether arising by general statute or particular program 
thereto.
    2. A record from this system may be disclosed as a routine use to a 
Federal agency to facilitate the requesting agency's decision 
concerning the hiring or retention of an employee, the issuance of a 
security clearance, the reporting of an investigation of an employee, 
the letting of a contract, or the issuance of a license, grant, or 
other benefit, to the extent that the information is relevant and 
necessary to the requesting agency's decision on the matter. The 
Department must deem such disclosure to be compatible with the purpose 
for which the Department collected the information.
    3. A record from this system may be disclosed as a routine use for 
the purpose of an investigation, settlement of claims, or the 
preparation and conduct of litigation to a (1) person representing the 
Department in the investigation, settlement or litigation, and to 
individuals assisting in such representation; (2) others involved in 
the investigation, settlement, and litigation, and their 
representatives and individuals assisting those representatives; and 
(3) witness, potential witness, or their representatives and 
assistants, and any other person who possesses information pertaining 
to the matter, when it is necessary to obtain information or testimony 
relevant to the matter.
    4. A record from this system may be disclosed as a routine use to 
other Federal agencies, consumer reporting agencies for acquiring 
credit information, and collection agencies to aid in the collection of 
outstanding debts owed to the Federal Government.
    5. A record from this system may be disclosed as a routine use to 
Defense Manpower Data Center, Department of Defense, the United States 
Postal Service, and other Federal, State, or local agencies to identify 
and locate, through computer matching, individuals indebted to DOE who 
are receiving Federal salaries or benefit payments. Information from 
the match will be used to collect the debts by voluntary repayment, by 
administrative offset, or by salary offset procedures.
    6. A record from this system may be disclosed as a routine use to 
the Internal Revenue Service (1) to collect the debt by offset against 
the debtor's tax refunds under the Federal Tax Refund Offset Program, 
and (2) to obtain the mailing address of a taxpayer to collect a debt 
owed to the DOE. Subsequent disclosure by DOE to a consumer reporting 
agency is limited to the purpose of obtaining a commercial credit 
report on the particular taxpayer. The mailing address information will 
not be used for any other DOE purpose or disclosed by DOE to another 
Federal, State, or local agency that seeks to locate the same 
individual for its own debt collection purpose.
    7. A record from this system may be disclosed as a routine use to 
the Department of the Treasury for the purpose of administrative offset 
and debt recovery under section 31001 (m)(1) of the Debt Collection 
Improvement Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-134).
    8. A record from this system may be disclosed as a routine use to

``consumer reporting agency'' as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting 
Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681a(f), or the Federal Claims Collections Act of 1966, 
31 U.S.C. 3701(a)(3), in accordance with 31 U.S.C. 3711(f).
    10. A record from this system may be disclosed as a routine use to

and employees who have a need for the record in the performance of 
their duties. Those individuals provided information under this routine 
use are subject to the same limitations applicable to DOE officers and 
employees under the Privacy Act.
    11. A record from this system of records may be disclosed as a 
routine use to a Member of Congress submitting a request involving the 
constituent when the constituent has requested assistance from the 
member concerning the subject matter of the record. The member of 
Congress must provide a copy of the constituent's request for
