could disclose the identity of
confidential sources and the nature of
the information supplied by informants
as well as endanger the physical safety
of those sources by exposing them to
possible reprisals for having provided
the information. Confidential sources
and informers might refuse to provide
valuable information unless they believe
that their identities would not be
revealed through disclosure of their
names or the nature of the information
they supplied. Loss of access to such
sources would seriously impair the
investigator’s ability to perform its law
enforcement responsibilities.
Furthermore, providing access to
records contained in the system of
records could reveal the identities of
undercover law enforcement officers
who compiled information regarding the
individual’s criminal activities, thereby
endangering the physical safety of those
undercover officers by exposing them to
possible reprisals. Permitting access in
keeping these provisions would also
discourage other law enforcement and
regulatory agencies, foreign or domestic,
from freely sharing information and
thus would restrict access to
information necessary to accomplish it
mission most effectively.
3. 5 U.S.C. 552a(d)(2), (3), and (4),
(e)(4)(H), and (f)(4) permit an individual
to request amendment of a record
pertaining to the individual or concern
related to procedures, and require the
agency either to amend the record or to
note the disputed portion of the record,
and to provide a copy of the
individual’s statement of disagreement
with the agency’s refusal to amend a
record to persons or other agencies to
whom the record is thereafter disclosed.
Since these provisions depend upon the
individual having access to his or her
records, and since an exemption from
the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a relating
to access to records is proposed for the
reasons set out in the preceding
paragraph of this section, these
provisions should not apply to the
above-listed system or records.
4. 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(1) requires an
agency to maintain in its records only
such information about an individual as
is relevant and necessary to accomplish
a purpose of the agency required to be
accomplished by statute or Executive
Order. The term ‘‘maintain,’’ as defined
in 5 U.S.C. 552a(a)(3), includes
‘‘collect’’ and ‘‘disseminate.’’ The
application of this provision could
impair the investigator’s ability to
collect and disseminate valuable law
enforcement information. In the early
stages of an investigation, it may be
impossible to determine whether
information collected is relevant and
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 223001
necessary, and information that initially
appears irrelevant and information
developed subsequently, prove
particularly relevant and necessary to
the investigation. Compliance with the
above records maintenance
requirements would require the periodic
up-dating of information Treasury
collects and maintains to ensure that the
records in this system remain timely,
accurate, and complete. Further, the
investigator may uncover evidence of
violations of law that fall within the
investigative jurisdiction of other law
enforcement agencies. To promote
effective law enforcement, the
investigator will refer this evidence to
the appropriate authority for further
investigation.
5. 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4)(G) and (f)(1)
enable individuals to inquire whether a
system of records contains records
pertaining to them. Application of these
provisions to the above-referenced
systems of records could allow
individuals to learn whether they have
been identified as subjects of
investigation. Access to such knowledge
would impair the investigator’s ability
to carry out the mission, since
individuals could take steps to avoid
detection and destroy or hide evidence
needed to prove the violation.
6. 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4)(I) requires an
agency to publish a general notice
listing the categories of sources for
information contained in a system of
records. Revealing sources for
information could disclose investigative
techniques and procedures; result in
threats or reprisals against confidential
informants by the subjects of
investigations; and cause confidential
informants to refuse to give full
information to investigators for fear of
having their identities as sources
disclosed.
As required by Executive Order
12866, it has been determined that this
rule is not a significant regulatory
action, and therefore, does not require a
regulatory impact analysis.
Pursuant to the requirements of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), 5
U.S.C. 601–612, it is hereby certified
that this rule will not have significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. The term
‘‘small entity’’ is defined to have the
same meaning as the terms ‘‘small
business’’, ‘‘small organization’’ and
‘‘small governmental jurisdiction’’ as
defined in the RFA.
The proposed regulation, issued
under section 552a(k) of the Privacy
Act, is to exempt certain information
maintained by Treasury in the above
system of records from notification,
access and amendment of a record by
PO 00000

individuals who are citizens of the
United States or an alien lawfully
admitted for permanent residence.
Inasmuch as the Privacy Act rights are
personal and apply only to U.S. citizens
or an alien lawfully admitted for
permanent residence, small entities, as
defined in the RFA, are not provided
rights under the Privacy Act and are
outside the scope of this regulation.

We, the National Park
Service, are reopening the public

Irene to submit comments.
DATES: Comments must be received
before midnight (Eastern Daylight Time)
on September 19, 2011.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by the Regulation Identifier
Number 1024–AD85, by either of the
following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 6,

National Seashore, North Carolina. (76
FR 39350) The 60-day public comment
period for this proposal closed on
September 6, 2011. Hurricane Irene
made landfall in the area of the
Seashore on Saturday August 27, 2001,
resulting in wide-spread damage there,
and north along the east coast into New
England. Because hurricane damage
may have prevented some affected
persons from commenting on the rule,
we are reopening the public comment
period from September 9, 2011 through
September 19, 2011. We do not
anticipate extending the public
comment period beyond this date due to
a court-imposed deadline for
completing the final rule. If you already
commented on the rule you do not have
to resubmit your comments. Also, if you
submitted comments on this rule
between September 6, 2011 and
September 9, 2011 you do not need to
resubmit them, we will consider any
comments received during this period.
