On October 30, 2006, the Department modified all of its systems of records to include a new routine use that allows disclosure to appropriate persons and entities for purposes of response and remedial efforts in the event that there has been a breach of the data contained in the systems. 71 FR 63,354 (October 30, 2006). In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) and (11), the public was given a 30-day period in which to comment; and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), which has oversight responsibility under the Privacy Act, required a 40-day period in which to conclude its review of the systems. As a result of comments received, the Department is making a minor modification to the language of the routine use in order to provide greater clarity. A concern was raised that the condition set forth in clause (1) of the routine use (‘‘when (1) it is suspected or confirmed that the security or confidentiality of information in the system of records has been compromised’’) does not clearly identify precisely who has to suspect or confirm the compromise. While it was the intent of the drafters that it be the Department of Justice that must suspect or confirm the compromise, because that intent is expressed only implicitly in the routine use, the Department is modifying the language of the first condition to provide additional clarity. A description of the modification to the Department’s systems of records is provided below. In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), the Department has provided a report to OMB and the Congress. The new routine use will be effective January 25, 2007. Dated: January 22, 2007. Lee J. Lofthus, Assistant Attorney General for Administration.
