SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The system notice for the Consumer Complaint 
and Inquiry Information System was last published in its entirety in 
the Federal Register on July 11, 2005, at 70 FR 39853.
    At present, the sixth routine use of records maintained in this 
system provides for the disclosure of complaint and inquiry information 
to ``[a] Congressional office when the information is relevant to an 
inquiry made at the request of the individual about whom the record is 
maintained.'' While continuing to authorize these disclosures, the 
proposed amendment or alteration of this routine use would extend this 
authority to the making of comparable disclosures to governmental or 
tribal organizations that have referred complaints and inquiries to the 
OCC on behalf of individuals who have sought these organizations' 
assistance with respect to OCC-regulated entities. An additional 
routine use would authorize disclosures to governmental or tribal 
organizations when such an organization is in communication with the 
OCC concerning a complaint or inquiry it has received concerning the 
actions of an OCC-regulated entity. These uses of information 
maintained in this system are consistent with the OCC's Customer 
Assistance Program in that these disclosures will facilitate and 
enhance the receipt of public sector assistance by individuals in 
resolving their complaints and inquiries regarding concerning the 
actions of OCC-regulated entities.
    As required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) and Appendix I to OMB Circular A-
130, ``Federal Agency Responsibilities for Maintaining Records About 
Individuals,'' dated November 30, 2000, a report of an altered system 
of records has been submitted to the Committee on Government Reform of 
the House of Representatives, the Committee on Homeland Security and 
Governmental Affairs of the Senate, and the Office of Management and 
Budget.
    For the above reasons, the OCC proposes to alter its system of 
records notice by revising routine use (6), redesignating routine uses 
(7) and (8) as, respectively, (8) and (9), and adding a new routine use 
(7) as set forth below:
Treasury/Comptroller .600

SYSTEM NAME:
    Consumer Complaint and Inquiry Information System.
* * * * *

Routine uses of records maintained in the system, including categories 
of users and the purposes of such uses:
* * * * *
    Description of change: Remove the current routine uses (6), (7) and 
(8) and in their place add the revised and new routine uses (6), (7), 
(8) and (9) to read as follows:
    ``(6) A Congressional office or appropriate governmental or tribal 
organization when the information is relevant to a complaint or inquiry 
referred to the OCC by that office or organization on behalf of the 
individual about whom the information is maintained;

[[Page 61539]]

    (7) An appropriate governmental or tribal organization in 
communication with the OCC about a complaint or inquiry the 
organization has received concerning the actions of an OCC-regulated 
entity. Information that may be disclosed under this routine use will 
ordinarily consist of a description of the conclusion made by the OCC 
concerning the actions of such an entity and the corrective action 
taken, if any;
    (8) A contractor or agent who needs to have access to this system 
of records to perform an assigned activity; or
    (9) Third parties when mandated or authorized by statute.''
