The system of records contains information collected from publicly available historical Federal land conveyance documents (land patents, survey plats, field notes and land status records) maintained by the BLM General Land Office, and billing information of individuals requesting certified copies of land conveyance documents. The purpose of this system is to maintain, protect and preserve more than five million documents of historical relevance and to make these valuable resources for natural resource agencies, historians, surveyors, title companies, and genealogists available SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00086 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 via the General Land Office Records Web site.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background The Department of the Interior (DOI), BLM is creating the ‘‘General Land Office Records Automation System (GLORAS)—Interior, BLM–42’’ system of records. The purpose of this system is to maintain more than five million documents of historical relevance, to include: Survey plats, field notes, homesteads certificates, cash patents, military warrants, and railroad grants. These records are valuable resources for natural resource agencies, historians, surveyors, title companies, and genealogists. Increased demand for the information in these records and the preservation of the historic documents provided the impetus for the BLM to create an automated records archive and make the records available to the public. The system will be effective as proposed at the end of the comment period on July 7, 2014, unless comments are received which would require a contrary determination. The DOI will publish a revised notice if changes are made based upon a review of the comments received. II. Privacy Act The Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, embodies fair information practice principles in a statutory framework governing the means by which Federal agencies collect, maintain, use, and disseminate individuals’ personal information. The Privacy Act applies to records about individuals that are maintained in a ‘‘system of records.’’ A ‘‘system of records’’ is a group of any records under the control of an agency for which information is retrieved by the name of an individual or by some E:\FR\FM\27MYN1.SGM 27MYN1
