SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Internal Revenue Service published a notice of proposed rulemaking on November 28, 2005, at 70 FR 71245, to remove the (j)(2) exemption and in its place claim the exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(5) exemption. No comments were received by the IRS. The records in this system are no longer compiled for law enforcement purposes and do not qualify for the (j)(2) exemption. The (k)(5) exemption is more appropriate because the investigatory material contained in this system of records is collected and maintained solely for the purpose of determining suitability, eligibility, or qualifications for Federal civilian employment, military service, Federal contracts, or access to classified information.

TIGTA is not a part of IRS and no Inspection investigations are maintained in this system, with the exception of personnel security investigations. Under 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(5), the head of any agency may promulgate rules to exempt any system of records within the agency from certain provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 if the system is investigatory material compiled solely for the purpose of determining suitability, eligibility, or qualifications for Federal civilian employment, military service, Federal contracts, or access to classified information. This is applicable only to the extent that the disclosure of such material would reveal the identity of a source who furnished information to the Government under an express promise that the identity of the source would be held in confidence, or, prior to September 27, 1975, under an implied promise that the identity of the source would be held in confidence. Thus to the extent that the records in this system can be disclosed without revealing the identity of a confidential source, they are not within the scope of this exemption and are subject to all the requirements of the Privacy Act. The sections of 5 U.S.C. 552a from which the systems of records are exempt include in general those providing for individuals’ access to or amendment of records. When such access or amendment would cause the identity of a confidential source to be revealed, it would impair the future ability of the Department to compile investigatory material for the purpose of determining suitability, eligibility, or qualifications for Federal civilian employment, Federal contracts, or access to classified information. In addition, the systems should be exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(1) which requires that an agency maintain in its records only such information about an individual as is relevant and necessary to accomplish a purpose of the agency required to be accomplished by statute or executive order. The Department believes that to fulfill the requirements of 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(1) would unduly restrict the agency in its information gathering inasmuch as it is often not until well after the investigation that it is possible to determine the relevance and necessity of particular information. A separate notice revising the system of records entitled ‘‘IRS 34.022— National Background Investigations Center Management Information System’’ was published in the Federal VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:17 Sep 24, 2007 Jkt 211001 Register on November 28, 2005, at 70 FR 71376.

The regulation will not have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between the Federal Government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. Therefore, it is determined that this rule does not have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. Pursuant to the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601– 612, it is hereby certified that these regulations will not significantly affect a substantial number of small entities. The final rule imposes no duties or obligations on small entities. In accordance with the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Department of the Treasury has determined that this final rule would not impose new record keeping, application, reporting, or other types of information collection requirements.

ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: SUMMARY: This final rule implements section 702 of the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007, Public Law 109–364. The rule provides coverage of contracted medical care with respect to dental care beyond that care required as a necessary adjunct to medical or surgical treatment. The entitlement of institutional and anesthesia services is authorized in conjunction with non-covered dental treatment for patients with developmental, mental, or physical disabilities or for pediatric patients age 5 or under. This final rule does not eliminate any contracted medical care that is currently covered for spouses and children. The entitlement of anesthesia services includes general anesthesia services only. Institutional services include institutional benefits associated with both hospital and in-out surgery settings. Patients with developmental, mental, or physical disabilities are those patients with conditions that prohibit dental treatment in a safe and effective manner. Therefore, it is medically or psychologically necessary for these patients to require general anesthesia for dental treatment. E:\FR\FM\25SER1.SGM 25SER1

31 CFR Part 1


Privacy Act; Implementation

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Treasury.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 
1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, as amended, the Internal Revenue Service published 
a notice of proposed rulemaking on November 28, 2005 to remove the 
exemption claimed for the system of records Treasury/IRS 34.022, 
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) and in its place claim an exemption 
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(5).

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 25, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Written inquiries as they relate to 
this system should be directed to Mary Anderson, IRS, Personnel 
Security and Investigations, 5205 Leesburg Pike, Suite 510, Falls 
Church, VA 22041-3802.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Internal Revenue Service published a 
notice of proposed rulemaking on November 28, 2005, at 70 FR 71245, to 
remove the (j)(2) exemption and in its place claim the exemption 
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(5) exemption. No comments were received by 
the IRS.
    The records in this system are no longer compiled for law 
enforcement purposes and do not qualify for the (j)(2) exemption. The 
(k)(5) exemption is more appropriate because the investigatory material 
contained in this system of records is collected and maintained solely 
for the purpose of determining suitability, eligibility, or 
qualifications for Federal civilian employment, military service, 
Federal contracts, or access to classified information.

[[Page 54353]]

    The (j)(2) exemption was initially applied to this system which was 
the database used for all Inspection (now the Treasury Inspector 
General for Tax Administration [TIGTA]) investigations. TIGTA is not a 
part of IRS and no Inspection investigations are maintained in this 
system, with the exception of personnel security investigations. Under 
5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(5), the head of any agency may promulgate rules to 
exempt any system of records within the agency from certain provisions 
of the Privacy Act of 1974 if the system is investigatory material 
compiled solely for the purpose of determining suitability, 
eligibility, or qualifications for Federal civilian employment, 
military service, Federal contracts, or access to classified 
information. This is applicable only to the extent that the disclosure 
of such material would reveal the identity of a source who furnished 
information to the Government under an express promise that the 
identity of the source would be held in confidence, or, prior to 
September 27, 1975, under an implied promise that the identity of the 
source would be held in confidence. Thus to the extent that the records 
in this system can be disclosed without revealing the identity of a 
confidential source, they are not within the scope of this exemption 
and are subject to all the requirements of the Privacy Act.
    The sections of 5 U.S.C. 552a from which the systems of records are 
exempt include in general those providing for individuals' access to or 
amendment of records. When such access or amendment would cause the 
identity of a confidential source to be revealed, it would impair the 
future ability of the Department to compile investigatory material for 
the purpose of determining suitability, eligibility, or qualifications 
for Federal civilian employment, Federal contracts, or access to 
classified information. In addition, the systems should be exempt from 
5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(1) which requires that an agency maintain in its 
records only such information about an individual as is relevant and 
necessary to accomplish a purpose of the agency required to be 
accomplished by statute or executive order. The Department believes 
that to fulfill the requirements of 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(1) would unduly 
restrict the agency in its information gathering inasmuch as it is 
often not until well after the investigation that it is possible to 
determine the relevance and necessity of particular information.
    A separate notice revising the system of records entitled ``IRS 
34.022--National Background Investigations Center Management 
Information System'' was published in the Federal Register on November 
28, 2005, at 70 FR 71376. Among other changes, the name of the system 
of records was changed to ``Automated Background Investigations System 
(ABIS).''
    As required by Executive Order 12866, it has been determined that 
this final rule is not a significant regulatory action, and therefore, 
does not require a regulatory impact analysis.
    The regulation will not have a substantial direct effect on the 
States, on the relationship between the Federal Government and the 
States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the 
various levels of government. Therefore, it is determined that this 
rule does not have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132.
    Pursuant to the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 
U.S.C. 601-612, it is hereby certified that these regulations will not 
significantly affect a substantial number of small entities. The final 
rule imposes no duties or obligations on small entities.
    In accordance with the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995, the Department of the Treasury has determined that this final 
rule would not impose new record keeping, application, reporting, or 
other types of information collection requirements.
