To track and control PIV card issued to
persons entering and exiting the
facilities using systems, or accessing
classified information. This action is
necessary to meet the requirements of
the Privacy Act to publish in the
Federal Register notice of the existence
and character of records maintained by
the agency (5 U.S.C. 522a(e)(4)).
DATES: This action will be effective
without further notice on July 18, 2011
