Privacy Act of 1974; Republication of Systems of Records Notices

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Republication of Systems of Records Notices.

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

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has conducted a 
comprehensive review of all its Privacy Act systems of records. The NRC 
is revising and republishing all its systems of records notices as a 
result of this review. The revisions are minor corrective and 
administrative changes that do not meet the threshold criteria 
established by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for either a 
new or altered system of records.

DATES: Effective Date: All revisions included in this republication are 
complete and accurate as of December 18, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Republication of NRC's Revised Systems of Records Notices

    With the exception of one new system of records and one new general 
routine use, these notices were last published in the Federal Register 
on October 10, 2006 (71 FR 59614). The new system of records was NRC-
45, Digital Certificates for Personal Identity Verification Records, 
published in the Federal Register on December 22, 2006 (71 FR 77072), 
and became effective on January 31, 2007. The new general routine use 
applies to all of NRC's systems of records allowing disclosure to 
appropriate persons and entities for purposes of response and remedial 
efforts in the event that there has been a breach of data contained in 
the systems. This new routine use was published in the Federal Register 
on August 3, 2007 (72 FR 43297), and became effective on September 12, 
2007. One system of records, NRC-13, Incentive Awards Files, has been 
revoked.

    These systems of records are those systems maintained by the NRC 
that contain personal information about individuals from which 
information is retrieved by an individual's name or identifier.
    The notice for each system of records states the name and location 
of the record system, the authority for and manner of its operation, 
the categories of individuals that it covers, the types of records that 
it contains, the sources of information in those records, and the 
routine uses of each system of records. Each notice also includes the 
business address of the NRC official who will inform interested persons 
of the procedures whereby they may gain access to and request amendment 
of records pertaining to them.
    The Privacy Act provides certain safeguards for an individual 
against an invasion of personal privacy by requiring Federal agencies 
to protect records contained in an agency system of records from 
unauthorized disclosure, ensure that information is current and 
accurate for its intended use, and that adequate safeguards are 
provided to prevent misuse of such information.

Prefatory Statement of General Routine Uses

    The following routine uses apply to each system of records notice 
set forth below which specifically references this Prefatory Statement 
of General Routine Uses.
    1. A record from this system of records which indicates a violation 
of civil or criminal law, regulation or order may be referred as a 
routine use to a Federal, State, local or foreign agency that has 
authority to investigate, enforce, implement or prosecute such laws. 
Further, a record from this system of records may be disclosed for 
civil or criminal law or regulatory enforcement purposes to another 
agency in response to a written request from that agency's head or an 
official who has been delegated such authority.

[[Page 575]]

    2. A record from this system of records may be disclosed as a 
routine use to a Federal, State, local, or foreign agency to obtain 
information relevant to an NRC decision concerning hiring or retaining 
an employee, letting a contract or issuing a security clearance, 
license, grant or other benefit.
    3. A record from this system of records may be disclosed as a 
routine use to a Federal, State, local, or foreign agency requesting a 
record that is relevant and necessary to its decision on a matter of 
hiring or retaining an employee, issuing a security clearance, 
reporting an investigation of an employee, letting a contract, or 
issuing a license, grant, or other benefit.
    4. A record from this system of records may be disclosed as a 
routine use in the course of discovery; in presenting evidence to a 
court, magistrate, administrative tribunal, or grand jury or pursuant 
to a qualifying order from any of those; in alternative dispute 
resolution proceedings, such as arbitration or mediation; or in the 
course of settlement negotiations.
    5. A record from this system of records may be disclosed as a 
routine use to a Congressional office from the record of an individual 
in response to an inquiry from the Congressional office made at the 
request of that individual.
    6. A record from this system of records may be disclosed as a 
routine use to NRC-paid experts or consultants, and those under 
contract with the NRC on a ``need-to-know'' basis for a purpose within 
the scope of the pertinent NRC task. This access will be granted to an 
NRC contractor or employee of such contractor by a system manager only 
after satisfactory justification has been provided to the system 
manager.
    7. A record from this system of records may be disclosed as a 
routine use to appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when (1) the 
NRC suspects or has confirmed that the security or confidentiality of 
information in the system of records has been compromised; (2) the NRC 
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 the NRC 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 the NRC's efforts to 
respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, 
or remedy such harm.
