ACTION: Notice of Amendment, Privacy Act System of Records; COMMERCE/ CENSUS–8, Statistical Administrative Records System. SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, Title 5 United States Code (U.S.C.) 552a(e)(4) and (11); and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A–130, Appendix I, ‘‘Federal Agency Responsibilities for Maintaining Records About Individuals,’’ the Department of Commerce is issuing notice of intent to amend the system of records under COMMERCE/CENSUS–8, Statistical Administrative Records System, to update administrative information concerning the purpose of the system of records, categories of individuals and records covered by the system, retrievability, and safeguards for the records in the system; in addition to minor administrative updates. Accordingly, the COMMERCE/ CENSUS–8, Statistical Administrative Records System notice published in the Federal Register on January 20, 2000 (65 FR 3202), is amended as below. We invite public comment on the system amendment announced in this publication. PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 DATES: Comment Date: To be considered, written comments on the proposed amended system must be submitted on or before April 24, 2009. Effective Date: Unless comments are received, the amended system of records will become effective as proposed on the date of publication of a subsequent notice in the Federal Register. ADDRESSES: Please address comments to: Chief Privacy Officer, Privacy Office, Room HQ—8H168, U.S. Census Bureau, 4600 Silver Hill Road, Washington, DC 20233–3700. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Statistical Administrative Records System (StARS) supports the Census Bureau’s core mission of producing economic and demographic statistics in accordance with Title 13, United States Code (U.S.C.) 41, 61, 81, 91, 101, 102, 131, 141, 181, 182, 193 and Title 15, United States Code (U.S.C.) 1525. Further, to the maximum extent possible and consistent with the kind, timeliness, quality and scope of the statistics required, the Census Bureau is mandated by 13 U.S.C. 6 to acquire information from public and private sources to ensure the efficient and economical conduct of its censuses and surveys by using that information instead of conducting direct inquiries. To provide the information on which the American public, businesses, policymakers, and analysts rely, the StARS organizes data from a variety of sources, thereby eliminating the need to collect information again. Avoiding new collections precludes duplication, enhances efficiency, significantly reduces the burden on respondents, and lowers the cost to taxpayers. Doing so also increases the quality, timeliness, and relevance of the information available to those making policy decisions that impact the public and private sectors. The information that StARS organizes comes from federal and state administrative record systems, private entities, current demographic and economic surveys, quinquennial Economic Censuses, and decennial Censuses of Population and Housing. The amended system also expands protections on access, storage, and use of personally identifiable data. The StARS is a statistical information system whose uses will not directly affect any individual. In order to protect personally identifiable information, the StARS is logically organized into three E:\FR\FM\25MRN1.SGM 25MRN1
