U.S. Department of Agriculture; Privacy
Act System of Records; Freedom of
Information Act and Privacy Act Case
Files USDA/FS–61; Narrative Statement
The purpose of the proposed system
is to provide the United States
Department of Agriculture’s (USDA)
Forest Service (FS) the capability to
record, control, and determine the status
of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
and Privacy Act (PA) cases, and to
prepare a mandatory annual FOIA
report to the U.S. Department of Justice.
The FOIA and PA Case files are
managed by the Office of Regulatory and
Management Services Freedom of
Information Act/Privacy Act staff. The
Forest Service is the administrative
agency for this system.
The authority for maintaining this
system of records is the Freedom of
Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552; and the
Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, as
amended.
The information gathered is
voluntarily submitted by individuals
who request agency records pursuant to
the FOIA and PA. The system of records
consists of a copy of the request, appeal,
request for correction/amendment, or
subsequent lawsuit received; a
description of the records requested,
appealed, or litigated; a copy of records
that were provided or denied; a copy of
all correspondence related to the case to
include final determinations; billing
information to include payment
delinquencies; and case notes.
Information collected includes the
individual’s name, address, telephone
number, and email address.
The records will be accessible only to
authorized agency personnel who need
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4703

to view the information in order to
conduct their assigned duties. All
electronic information is maintained by
the Forest Service in a web-based
database and stored on secured servers
in Kansas City, Kansas. Hard copy
records are retrieved by name and
unique request identification number in
lockable file cabinets in office buildings
that require USDA employee
identification badges or visitors passes
to enter.
The system provides for the following
routine use disclosures that are
necessary and proper for the agency’s
administration of its duties in
connection with the operation of the
FOIA/PA program: in connection with a
referral or consultation with another
agency; in connection with litigation;
for law enforcement purposes; for
responses to Congressional inquiries; to
the National Archives and Records
Administration and the General
Services Administration for records
inspections; on a limited basis to
entities engaged by the agency in the
performance of a service; and in
connection with information security
breaches in order to protect the interests
of the individuals covered by the
system. While these routine uses allow
disclosures outside USDA, and so have
some impact on privacy of individuals,
they are either necessary for carrying
out the agency mission and minimizing
waste, fraud, and abuse, are required by
law, or benefit the subjects of the
records. On balance, the needs of the
agency and the benefits to the
individuals of these disclosures justify
the minimal impact on privacy.
The system of records is not exempt
from any provisions of the Privacy Act.

Title: Data Collection for Container
Availability.
OMB Number: 0581–[New].
Expiration Date of Approval: [THREE
YEARS FROM DATE OF OMB

Type of Request: New request for
information collection.
Abstract: The Agricultural Marketing
Act of 1946 (7 U.S.C. 1621–1627) directs
and authorizes the collection and
dissemination of marketing information
including adequate outlook information,
on a market area basis, for the purpose
of anticipating and meeting consumer
requirements aiding in the maintenance
of farm income and to bring about a
balance between production and
utilization.
As part of the Agricultural Marketing
Service, the Transportation Services
Division (TSD) provides insightful
agricultural transportation information
and analysis to help move agricultural
products to market. TSD informs,
represents, and assists agricultural
shippers and government policymakers
through: Market reports, representation,
analysis, assistance, and responses to
inquiries. TSD collects data for its
analysis from public resources as well
as unique data sources to help the
agricultural exporters make the most out
of the transportation options available.
The new Data Collection for Container
Availability will provide U.S.
agricultural exporters with weekly data
detailing the availability of containers at
select locations around the country.
AMS will collect these data on a
voluntary basis from ocean container
carriers and then provide these up-todate data in an aggregate report on its
Web site. The goal of the report is to
provide more transparency in the
market for the location and availability
of marine shipping containers for U.S.
exporters. Exporters will be able to use
this tool to make more knowledgeable
decisions about which locations provide
the best chance for finding available
containers to move their products
overseas.

vacancies on the NOSB. The positions
to be filled are: Organic producer
(1 position), organic handler

Secretary of Agriculture will appoint a
person to each position to serve a 5-year
term of office that will commence on
January 24, 2012, and run until January
24, 2017. USDA encourages eligible
individuals who can demonstrate an

an organic certification program for
producers and handlers of agricultural

program, the Secretary is required to
establish an NOSB. The purpose of the
NOSB is to assist in the development of
a proposed National List of Allowed and
Prohibited Substances and to advise the
Secretary on other aspects of the
National Organic Program.
The NOSB made recommendations to
the Secretary regarding establishment of
the initial organic program. It is
anticipated that the NOSB will continue
to make recommendations on various
matters, including recommendations on
substances it believes should be allowed
or prohibited for use in organic
production and handling.
