SUMMARY: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4), the Tennessee Valley 
Authority (TVA) is republishing in full a notice of the existence and 
character of each TVA system of records.
    TVA is deleting TVA-10 (Employee Statement of Employment and 
Financial Interests), TVA-15 (Land Between The Lakes, Hunter Records), 
and TVA-30 (Land Between The Lakes, Mailing Lists). These programs have 
ended or have been transferred to other agencies.
    TVA is renaming the following systems: TVA-6, from Employee 
Accident Information to Work Injury Illness System; TVA-19, from 
Consultant and Personal Service Contractor Records to Consultant and 
Contractor Records; TVA-21, from Nuclear Assurance Personnel Records to 
Nuclear Quality Assurance Personnel Records; TVA-29, from Electricity 
Use, Rate, and Service Study Records to Energy Program Participant 
Records; and TVA-38, from Wholesale and Retail Data Files to Wholesale, 
Retail, and Emergency Data Files. These systems are being renamed to 
better reflect the contents of the systems.
    TVA is adding one new routine use to all systems. TVA is also 
adding new routine uses to TVA-6, Work Injury Illness System, and TVA-
38, Wholesale, Retail, and Emergency Data Files.
    TVA is removing a routine use from TVA-2, Personnel Files, TVA-9, 
Health Records, and TVA-11, Payroll Records.
    TVA is revising the routine uses for TVA-5, Discrimination 
Complaint Files, and TVA-26, Retirement System Records.
    TVA is also correcting minor typographical and stylistic errors in 
previously existing notices and has updated those notices to reflect 
current organizational structure. Also, updates are being made to show 
any changes to system locations; managers and addresses; categories of 
individuals and records; procedures and practices for storing, 
retrieving, accessing, retaining, and disposing of records.

DATES: Submit comments on or before November 20, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4), TVA 
is today republishing a notice of the existence and character of each 
of its systems of records in order to make available in one place in 
the Federal Register the most up-to-date information regarding these 
systems.
    TVA is deleting three systems of records as follows. TVA-15, ``Land 
Between the Lakes, Hunter Records,'' and TVA-30, ``Land Between the 
Lakes, Mailing Lists,'' were maintained and stored at Land Between The 
Lakes. These records were included in the transfer of Land Between The 
Lakes from TVA to the U.S. Forest Service. TVA-10, ``Employee Statement 
of Employment and Financial Interests,'' covered pre-1993 financial 
disclosure documents, all of which have been disposed of in accordance 
with their retention schedules. All post-1993 records are covered by an 
Office of Government Ethics Privacy Act System.
    TVA is renaming the following five systems of records to better 
reflect the contents of these systems. TVA-38, ``Wholesale and Retail 
Data Files,'' is being renamed to ``Wholesale, Retail, and Emergency 
Data Files.'' TVA-21, ``Nuclear Assurance Personnel Records,'' is being 
renamed to ``Nuclear Quality Assurance Personnel Records.'' TVA-6, 
``Employee Accident Information,'' is being renamed to ``Work Injury 
Illness System.'' TVA-29, ``Electricity Use, Rate, and Service Study 
Records,'' is being renamed to ``Energy Program Participant Records.'' 
TVA-19, ``Consultant and Personal Service Contractor Records,'' is 
being renamed to ``Consultant and Contractor Records.''
    TVA is adding a new routine use to two systems: TVA-38, 
``Wholesale, Retail, and Emergency Data Files'' to add ``To contact 
customer personnel during system emergencies.'' TVA-6, ``Work Injury 
Illness System,'' to add ``To an injured employee's representative.''
    TVA is deleting routine uses from three systems: TVA-11, ``Payroll 
Records,'' the routine use being removed is ``To report earnings to 
unions for those crafts on which TVA contributions to union welfare or 
pension funds are based on earnings. Reports of hours worked are made 
to unions for those crafts on which TVA contributions are based on 
hours worked.'' TVA-9, ``Health Records,'' the routine use being 
removed is ``Clinical Medical Records are used for employee population 
health monitoring which includes routine clinical and epidemiological 
investigations. Such studies may require the transfer of selected items 
of medical data to health-related agencies, organizations, or 
professionals for the purpose of obtaining specialized clinical 
consultation, compiling vital health statistics, or conducting 
biomedical investigations.'' TVA-2, ``Personnel Files,'' the routine 
use being removed is ``Personnel records may be used for employee 
population health monitoring which includes routine clinical and 
epidemiological investigations. Such studies may require the transfer 
of selected items of radiation dosimetry data to health-related 
agencies, organizations, or professionals for the purpose of compiling 
vital health statistics or conducting biomedical investigations.''
    TVA is revising routine uses in two systems. TVA-5, 
``Discrimination Complaint Files'' is revising the routine use ``A 
report of each complaint is made to the Equal Employment Opportunity 
Commission. If an administrative appeal is filed, the entire file is 
disclosed to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission'' to ``If a 
hearing is requested and/or an administrative appeal is filed with the 
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, a copy of the complaint file, 
containing a record of investigations and a correspondence file of each 
complaint, is forwarded to the Equal Employment Opportunity 
Commission.'' TVA-5 is also revising the routine use from ``To the 
employee's representative'' to ``To a counselee's or complainant's 
representative.'' TVA-26, ``Retirement System Records,'' is revising 
the routine use ``To provide the TVA Retirees Association with names 
and mailing addresses of other retired members and retired employees'' 
to ``To provide the following information on retirees to the TVA 
Retirees Association: names, unique identification numbers assigned by 
the TVA Retirement System to each retiree, addresses, dates of birth, 
dates of termination of employment with TVA, retirement class (member, 
beneficiary, Civil Service, deferred), last official station, and dates 
of death (if applicable).''
    TVA is amending all of its existing Privacy Act systems of records 
notices to add a new routine use to authorize the disclosure of records 
to individuals involved in responding to a breach of Federal data. The 
Office of Management and Budget recently directed agencies to develop 
and publish a routine use for disclosure of information in connection

[[Page 62789]]

with response and remedial efforts in the event of a data breach. This 
routine use will serve to protect the interest of the individuals whose 
information is at issue by allowing agencies to take appropriate steps 
to facilitate a timely and effective response to the breach, thereby 
improving its ability to prevent, minimize or remedy any harm resulting 
from a compromise of data maintained in its systems of records. 
Accordingly, TVA is proposing to add a new routine use to authorize 
disclosure to appropriate agencies, entities, and persons, of 
information maintained in the systems of records in the event of a data 
breach.

    New Routine Use: To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons 
when (1) TVA suspects or has confirmed that the security or 
confidentiality of information in the system of records has been 
compromised; (2) TVA has determined that as a result of the 
suspected or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to 
economic or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to 
the security or integrity of this system or other systems or 
programs (whether maintained by TVA or another agency or entity) 
that rely upon the compromised information; and (3) the disclosure 
made to such agencies, entities and persons is reasonably necessary 
to assist in connection with TVA's efforts to respond to the 
suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy 
such harm.

    These amendments will be effective as proposed at the end of the 
comment period unless comments are received which would require a 
contrary determination. TVA will publish a revised notice if changes 
are made based upon a review of comments received.
    TVA is also correcting minor typographical and stylistic errors in 
the previous existing systems. In addition, TVA is updating the system 
locations; managers and addresses; notification; categories of 
individuals covered; categories of records; storage policies and 
practices; retention and disposal; record access; and contesting record 
procedures. These changes are necessary to reflect TVA's current 
organizational structure, current technology, and procedural changes.
    This document gives notice that the following TVA systems of 
records below are in effect:
