SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with PROPOSALS
A. Background
In accordance with the Privacy Act of
1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, USAID is
publishing a new system of records
notice for the Office of Security named
Partner Vetting System (PVS). The PVS
will support the vetting of directors,
officers, or other employees of nongovernmental organizations who apply
for USAID contracts, grants, cooperative
agreements or other funding and those
who apply for registration with USAID
as Private Voluntary Organizations. The
information collected from these
individuals will be used to conduct
screening to ensure USAID funds and
USAID-funded activities are not
purposefully or inadvertently used to
provide support to entities or
individuals deemed to be a risk to
national security. As these individuals
and organizations are not employees or
job applicants, nor would they be
eligible for or require security
clearances, traditional employment or
security clearance investigative
mechanisms are not authorized or
appropriate for the stated purposes.
USAID proposes to exempt this
system, in part, from certain provisions
of the Privacy Act and to add the PVS
system to 22 CFR 215.14, Specific
Exemptions. USAID needs this
exemption in order to protect
information related to investigations
from disclosure to subjects of
investigations and to protect classified
information related to the government’s
national security programs. Specifically,
the exemptions are required to preclude
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:06 Jul 19, 2007
Jkt 211001
subjects of investigations from
frustrating the investigative process; to
avoid disclosure of investigative
techniques; protect the identities and
physical safety of confidential
informants and of law enforcement
personnel; ensure the Office of
Security’s ability to obtain information
from third parties and other sources;
protect the privacy of third parties; and
safeguard classified information.
Aside form the specific protections
afforded classified information that may
underpin the screening mechanisms
involved, USAID must also protect the
names of organizations and individuals
within this system. Because the results
of screening on any particular
organization or individual may be
derived from classified and sensitive
law enforcement and intelligence
information, USAID cannot confirm or
deny whether an individual ‘‘passed’’ or
‘‘failed’’ screening. The nondisclosure of
the information protects the
government’s operational
counterterrorism and
counterintelligence missions, as well as
the personal safety of those involved in
counterterrorism investigations.
B. Regulatory Planning and Review
This is not a significant regulatory
action and, therefore, is not subject to
review under Section 6(b) of Executive
Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and
Review, dated September 30, 1993. This
rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C.
804.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act
Pursuant to requirements set forth in
the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.), USAID has
considered the economic impact of the
rule and has determined that its
provisions would not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities.
D. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act does
apply because the proposed changes
impose information collection
requirements that require the approval
of the Office of Management and Budget
under 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
List of Subjects in 22 CFR Part 215

For the reasons stated in the

PART 215—REGULATIONS FOR

1. The authority citation for 22 CFR
part 215 is revised to read as follows:
Authority: Pub. L. 93–579, 88 Stat. 1896 (5
U.S.C. 553, (b), (c) and (e).
2. Amend § 215.13 by adding
paragraph (c)(2) to read as follows:
§ 215.13
General exemptions.
*
*
*
*
*
(c) * * *
(2) Partner Vetting System. This
system is exempt from sections (c)(3)
and (4); (d); (e) (1), (2), and (3); (e) (4)
(G), (H), and (I); (e) (5) and (8); (f), (g),
and (h) of 5 U.S.C. 552a. These
exemptions are necessary to insure the
proper functioning of the law
enforcement activity, to protect
confidential sources of information, to
fulfill promises of confidentiality, to
maintain the integrity of the law
enforcement procedures, to avoid
premature disclosure of the knowledge
of criminal activity and the evidentiary
bases of possible enforcement actions, to
prevent interferences with law
enforcement proceeding, to avoid the
disclosure of investigative techniques,
to avoid endangering the law
enforcement personnel, to maintain the
ability to obtain candid and necessary
information, to fulfill commitments
made to sources to protect the
confidentiality of information, to avoid
endangering these sources, and to
facilitate proper selection or
continuance of the best applicants or
persons for a given position or contract.
Although the primary functions of
USAID are not of a law enforcement
nature, the mandate to ensure USAID
funding is not purposefully or
inadvertently used to provide support to
entities or individuals deemed to be a
risk to national security necessarily
requires coordination with law
enforcement and intelligence agencies
as well as use of their information. Use
of these agencies’ information
necessitates the conveyance of these
other systems exemptions to protect the
information as stated.
3. Amend 22 CFR 215.14 by adding
the heading ‘‘Note to paragraph (c)(5)’’
to the undesignated text at the end of
the section and paragraph (c)(6) to read
as follows:
§ 215.14

defense of foreign policy, to prevent
subjects of investigation from frustrating
the investigatory process, to insure the
proper functioning and integrity of law
enforcement activities, to prevent
disclosure of investigative techniques,

A. Background
In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, USAID is
publishing a new system of records notice for the Office of Security
named Partner Vetting System (PVS). The PVS will support the vetting of
directors, officers, or other employees of non-governmental
organizations who apply for USAID contracts, grants, cooperative
agreements or other funding and those who apply for registration with
USAID as Private Voluntary Organizations. The information collected
from these individuals will be used to conduct screening to ensure
USAID funds and USAID-funded activities are not purposefully or
inadvertently used to provide support to entities or individuals deemed
to be a risk to national security. As these individuals and
organizations are not employees or job applicants, nor would they be
eligible for or require security clearances, traditional employment or
security clearance investigative mechanisms are not authorized or

USAID proposes to exempt this system, in part, from certain
provisions of the Privacy Act and to add the PVS system to 22 CFR
215.14, Specific Exemptions. USAID needs this exemption in order to
protect information related to investigations from disclosure to

the exemptions are required to preclude subjects of investigations from
