This routine use, currently included in Appendix I, Authorized E:\FR\FM\03MYN1.SGM 03MYN1 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 86 / Thursday, May 3, 2018 / Notices resulting from a suspected or confirmed breach.4 Disclosures and Routine Uses Applicable to All FTC Privacy Act Systems of Records, states as follows: (22) May be disclosed to appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when: (a) The FTC suspects or has confirmed that the security or confidentiality of information in the system of records has been compromised; (b) the FTC has determined that as a result of the suspected or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the security or integrity of this system or other systems or programs (whether maintained by the FTC or another agency or entity) that rely upon the compromised information; and (c) the disclosure made to such agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to assist in connection with the FTC’s efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm. Since 2007, OMB has determined that agencies needed authority to make disclosures that go beyond those contemplated by the original routine use. Thus, in January 2017, OMB issued in M–17–12, directing the Senior Agency Official for Privacy (SAOP) of each agency to include the following routine use in each of the agency’s SORNs to facilitate the agency’s response to a breach of its own records: To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when (1) [the agency] suspects or has confirmed that there has been a breach of the system of records, (2) [the agency] has determined that as a result of the suspected or confirmed breach there is a risk of harm to individuals, [the agency] (including its information systems, programs, and operations), the Federal Government, or national security; and (3) the disclosure made to such agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to assist in connection with [the agency’s] efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed breach or to prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm.3 sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES In M–17–12, OMB also directed the SAOP to ensure that agencies are able to disclose records in their systems of records that may reasonably be needed by another agency in responding to a breach by incorporating the following additional routine use into each of the agency’s SORNs: To another Federal agency or Federal entity, when [the agency] determines that information from this system of records is reasonably necessary to assist the recipient agency or entity in (1) responding to a suspected or confirmed breach or (2) preventing, minimizing, or remedying the risk of harm to individuals, the recipient agency or entity (including its information systems, programs, and operations), the Federal Government, or national security, Although the first proposed routine use required by M–17–12 is very similar to the language of the FTC’s original routine use as finalized in 2007, OMB’s 2017 version more specifically addresses harm to individuals and expands the concept to make clear that it is not limited to identity theft or financial/property damage. With regard to the second proposed routine use, breaches affecting Federal personnel data have shown the need for an additional routine use that expressly allows an agency to disclose information from a system of records (e.g., current contact information for the agency’s employees or other individuals) to another Federal agency when reasonably needed by that agency to respond to a breach (e.g., providing notice to the affected individuals), to take any other steps to prevent, minimize, or remedy the risk of harm to affected individuals or that agency’s information systems, programs, or operations, and, if necessary, to address the broader risk of harm, if any, to the Federal Government or national security that may arise from the breach. The FTC’s existing routine use, while allowing disclosure to other agencies, does so in the limited context of a breach of the FTC’s own system(s) of records. For the reasons stated above, the FTC believes that it is compatible with the collection of information pertaining to individuals affected by a breach to disclose Privacy Act records about them when, in doing so, it will help prevent, minimize or remedy a data breach or compromise that may affect such individuals. By contrast, the FTC believes that failure to take reasonable steps to help prevent, minimize or remedy the harm that may result from such a breach or compromise would jeopardize, rather than promote, the privacy of such individuals. Accordingly, the Commission concludes that it is authorized under the Privacy Act to adopt the proposed and updated routine uses permitting disclosure of Privacy Act records for the purposes described above. In accordance with the Privacy Act, see 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) and (11), the FTC is publishing notice of these routine uses and giving the public a 30-day period to comment before adopting them as final. The FTC has provided advance notice of this proposed system notice amendment to OMB and the Congress, as required by the Act, 5 19563 U.S.C. 552a(r), and OMB Circular A–108 (2016). As set forth below, the Commission proposes that the new routine uses become effective on the date noted earlier, unless the Commission amends or revokes the routine uses on the basis of any comments received. Accordingly, the FTC hereby proposes to amend Appendix I of its Privacy Act system notices, as published at 73 FR 33591, by revising item number (22), adding new item number (23), and redesignating the former item number (23) as (24) (without any other change) at the end of the existing routine uses set forth in that Appendix: * * * * * (22) To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when (a) the FTC suspects or has confirmed that there has been a breach of the system of records, (b) the FTC has determined that as a result of the suspected or confirmed breach there is a risk of harm to individuals, the FTC (including its information systems, programs, and operations), the Federal Government, or national security; and (c) the disclosure made to such agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to assist in connection with the FTC’s efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed breach or to prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm. (23) To another Federal agency or Federal entity, when the FTC determines that information from this system of records is reasonably necessary to assist the recipient agency or entity in (a) responding to a suspected or confirmed breach or (b) preventing, minimizing, or remedying the risk of harm to individuals, the recipient agency or entity (including its information systems, programs, and operations), the Federal Government, or national security, resulting from a suspected or confirmed breach. (24) May be disclosed to FTC contractors, volunteers, interns or other authorized individuals who have a need for the record in order to perform their officially assigned or designated duties for or on behalf of the FTC.

Analysis to Aid Public Comment

    In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, this 
document provides public notice that the FTC is proposing to modify and 
bifurcate an existing routine use relating to assistance in data breach 
responses, which is applicable to all FTC SORNs, to conform with OMB 
Memorandum M-17-12, Preparing for and Responding to a Breach of 
Personally Identifiable Information (January 3, 2017). A list of the 
agency's current Privacy Act records systems is set out below and can 
be viewed on the FTC's website at: www.ftc.gov/about-ftc/foia/foia-reading-rooms/privacy-act-systems. The modified and bifurcated routine 
use would be included in Appendix I, Authorized Disclosures and Routine 
Uses Applicable to All FTC Privacy Act Systems of Records, which 
describes routine uses that apply globally to all FTC Privacy Act 
records systems. Appendix I was previously published at 73 FR 33592 
(June 12, 2008), the text of which is available on the FTC's website at 
the above hyperlink and would be updated accordingly.

are consistent with the purpose for which information is collected. 5 
U.S.C. 552a(b)(3); see also 5 U.S.C. 552a(a)(7).
    On June 8, 2007, in response to a recommendation by The President's 
Identity Theft Task Force \2\ and using model language issued by the 
Department of Justice, the FTC published a new routine use that allowed 
for disclosure of records to appropriate persons and entities for 
purposes of response and remedial efforts in the event of a breach of 
data contained in the protected systems. 72 FR 31835. This routine use, 
currently included in Appendix I, Authorized

[[Page 19563]]

Disclosures and Routine Uses Applicable to All FTC Privacy Act Systems 
of Records, states as follows:

    \2\ See The President's Identity Theft Task Force Report 
(September 2008) at https://www.ftc.gov/sites/default/files/documents/reports/presidents-identity-theft-task-force-report/081021taskforcereport.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (22) May be disclosed to appropriate agencies, entities, and 
persons when: (a) The FTC suspects or has confirmed that the 
security or confidentiality of information in the system of records 
has been compromised; (b) the FTC has determined that as a result of 
the suspected or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to 
economic or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to 
the security or integrity of this system or other systems or 
programs (whether maintained by the FTC or another agency or entity) 
that rely upon the compromised information; and (c) the disclosure 
made to such agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary 
to assist in connection with the FTC's efforts to respond to the 
suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy 
such harm.

    Since 2007, OMB has determined that agencies needed authority to 
make disclosures that go beyond those contemplated by the original 
routine use. Thus, in January 2017, OMB issued in M-17-12, directing 
the Senior Agency Official for Privacy (SAOP) of each agency to include 
the following routine use in each of the agency's SORNs to facilitate 
the agency's response to a breach of its own records:

    To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when (1) [the 
agency] suspects or has confirmed that there has been a breach of 
the system of records, (2) [the agency] has determined that as a 
result of the suspected or confirmed breach there is a risk of harm 
to individuals, [the agency] (including its information systems, 
programs, and operations), the Federal Government, or national 
security; and (3) the disclosure made to such agencies, entities, 
and persons is reasonably necessary to assist in connection with 
[the agency's] efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed 
breach or to prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm.\3\

    \3\ Hereafter, this is referred to as the ``first proposed 
routine use.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

In M-17-12, OMB also directed the SAOP to ensure that agencies are able 
to disclose records in their systems of records that may reasonably be 
needed by another agency in responding to a breach by incorporating the 
following additional routine use into each of the agency's SORNs:

    To another Federal agency or Federal entity, when [the agency] 
determines that information from this system of records is 
reasonably necessary to assist the recipient agency or entity in (1) 
responding to a suspected or confirmed breach or (2) preventing, 
minimizing, or remedying the risk of harm to individuals, the 
recipient agency or entity (including its information systems, 
programs, and operations), the Federal Government, or national 
security, resulting from a suspected or confirmed breach.\4\

    \4\ Hereafter, this is referred to as the ``second proposed 
routine use.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Although the first proposed routine use required by M-17-12 is very 
similar to the language of the FTC's original routine use as finalized 
in 2007, OMB's 2017 version more specifically addresses harm to 
individuals and expands the concept to make clear that it is not 
limited to identity theft or financial/property damage.
    With regard to the second proposed routine use, breaches affecting 
Federal personnel data have shown the need for an additional routine 
use that expressly allows an agency to disclose information from a 
system of records (e.g., current contact information for the agency's 
employees or other individuals) to another Federal agency when 
reasonably needed by that agency to respond to a breach (e.g., 
providing notice to the affected individuals), to take any other steps 
to prevent, minimize, or remedy the risk of harm to affected 
individuals or that agency's information systems, programs, or 
operations, and, if necessary, to address the broader risk of harm, if 
any, to the Federal Government or national security that may arise from 
the breach. The FTC's existing routine use, while allowing disclosure 
to other agencies, does so in the limited context of a breach of the 
FTC's own system(s) of records.
    For the reasons stated above, the FTC believes that it is 
compatible with the collection of information pertaining to individuals 
affected by a breach to disclose Privacy Act records about them when, 
in doing so, it will help prevent, minimize or remedy a data breach or 
compromise that may affect such individuals. By contrast, the FTC 
believes that failure to take reasonable steps to help prevent, 
minimize or remedy the harm that may result from such a breach or 
compromise would jeopardize, rather than promote, the privacy of such 
individuals. Accordingly, the Commission concludes that it is 
authorized under the Privacy Act to adopt the proposed and updated 
routine uses permitting disclosure of Privacy Act records for the 
purposes described above.
    In accordance with the Privacy Act, see 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) and 
(11), the FTC is publishing notice of these routine uses and giving the 
public a 30-day period to comment before adopting them as final. The 
FTC has provided advance notice of this proposed system notice 
amendment to OMB and the Congress, as required by the Act, 5 U.S.C. 
552a(r), and OMB Circular A-108 (2016). As set forth below, the 
Commission proposes that the new routine uses become effective on the 
date noted earlier, unless the Commission amends or revokes the routine 
uses on the basis of any comments received.
    Accordingly, the FTC hereby proposes to amend Appendix I of its 
Privacy Act system notices, as published at 73 FR 33591, by revising 
item number (22), adding new item number (23), and re-designating the 
former item number (23) as (24) (without any other change) at the end 
of the existing routine uses set forth in that Appendix:
* * * * *
    (22) To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when (a) the 
FTC suspects or has confirmed that there has been a breach of the 
system of records, (b) the FTC has determined that as a result of the 
suspected or confirmed breach there is a risk of harm to individuals, 
the FTC (including its information systems, programs, and operations), 
the Federal Government, or national security; and (c) the disclosure 
made to such agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to 
assist in connection with the FTC's efforts to respond to the suspected 
or confirmed breach or to prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm.
    (23) To another Federal agency or Federal entity, when the FTC 
determines that information from this system of records is reasonably 
necessary to assist the recipient agency or entity in (a) responding to 
a suspected or confirmed breach or (b) preventing, minimizing, or 
remedying the risk of harm to individuals, the recipient agency or 
entity (including its information systems, programs, and operations), 
the Federal Government, or national security, resulting from a 
suspected or confirmed breach.
    (24) May be disclosed to FTC contractors, volunteers, interns or 
other authorized individuals who have a need for the record in order to 
perform their officially assigned or designated duties for or on behalf 
of the FTC.
