SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: I. Background The Department of the Interior (DOI), Office of the Special Trustee for American Indians (OST) maintains the Individual Indian Money (IIM) Trust Fund—Interior, OS–02 system of records. This system assists OST in meeting the fiduciary responsibilities set forth in the American Indian Trust Fund Management Reform Act of 1994, including management of the receipt, investment, disbursement and administration of money held in trust for individual Indians and Alaskan Natives (or their heirs), and Indian Tribes. The OST provides trust services and information for Indian trust funds program management and oversees the implementation of trust reforms, trust accounting and coordination of trust policies intra-bureau-wide related to the management of Indian trust funds and assets. The system also provides litigation support by analyzing and reconciling the historical collection, distribution, and disbursement of income from IIM accounts, Indian trust land, and other revenue sources. The system also supports DOI land consolidation activities of fractionated lands and annual tribal trust evaluations for Tribes who compact trust programs, functions, services, and activities under Public Law 93–638 Self-Governance Compacts on behalf of the Secretary of the Interior. OST is publishing this revised notice to (1) update the system location, (2) propose new and modified routine uses, (3) update the categories of records and categories of individuals covered by the system, and (4) provide general and PO 00000 Frm 00047 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 44321 administrative updates to remaining sections to accurately reflect the management and scope of the system in accordance with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A–108, ‘‘Federal Agency Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, and Publication under the Privacy Act.’’ OST is proposing to modify existing routine uses to provide clarity and transparency, and reflect updates consistent with standard DOI routine uses. Routine uses A, B, G and L have been modified to provide additional clarification on external organizations and circumstances where disclosures are proper and necessary to facilitate the management of the IIM system. Routine use A was modified to further clarify disclosures to the Department of Justice or other Federal agencies when necessary in relation to litigation or judicial proceedings. Routine use B was modified to clarify disclosures to a congressional office to respond to or resolve an individual’s request made to that office. Routine use G facilitates sharing with other government and tribal organizations pursuant to a court order or discovery request. Modified routine use L was revised to separate the sharing of information with the Department of the Treasury to recover debts owed to the United States into new proposed routine use W to distinguish the purpose of the sharing of information and promote greater transparency. Modified routine use I and new routine use J allow DOI to share information with appropriate Federal agencies or entities when reasonably necessary to respond to a breach of personally identifiable information and to prevent, minimize, or remedy the risk of harm to individuals or the Federal Government, or assist an agency in locating individuals affected by a breach in accordance with OMB Memorandum M–17–12, ‘‘Preparing for and Responding to a Breach of Personally Identifiable Information.’’ OST is proposing new routine uses to facilitate the sharing of information with agencies and organizations to ensure the efficient and effective management of the IIM system, or to carry out a statutory responsibility of the DOI or Federal Government. Proposed routine use V facilitates sharing of information with the Executive Office of the President to resolve issues concerning an individual’s records when requested by the subject individual. Proposed routine use W allows sharing of information with the Department of the Treasury to recover debts owed to the United States.

Privacy Act The Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, embodies fair information practice principles in a statutory framework governing the means by which Federal agencies collect, maintain, use, and disseminate individuals’ records. 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 about an individual is retrieved by the name or by some identifying number, symbol, or other identifying particular assigned to the individual. The Privacy Act defines an individual as a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident. Individuals may request access to their own records that are maintained in a system of records in the possession or under the control of the DOI by complying with DOI Privacy Act regulations at 43 CFR part 2, subpart K, and following the procedures outlined in the Records Access, Contesting Record, and Notification Procedures sections of this notice. The Privacy Act requires each agency to publish in the Federal Register a description denoting the existence and character of each system of records that the agency maintains and the routine uses of each system. The revised Individual Indian Money Trust Funds system of records notice is published in its entirety below. In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), DOI has provided a report of this system of records to the Office of Management and Budget and to Congress. III.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Department of the Interior (DOI), Office of the Special Trustee 
for American Indians (OST) maintains the Individual Indian Money (IIM) 
Trust Fund--Interior, OS-02 system of records. This system assists OST 
in meeting the fiduciary responsibilities set forth in the American 
Indian Trust Fund Management Reform Act of 1994, including management 
of the receipt, investment, disbursement and administration of money 
held in trust for individual Indians and Alaskan Natives (or their 
heirs), and Indian Tribes. The OST provides trust services and 
information for Indian trust funds program management and oversees the 
implementation of trust reforms, trust accounting and coordination of 
trust policies intra-bureau-wide related to the management of Indian 
trust funds and assets. The system also provides litigation support by 
analyzing and reconciling the historical collection, distribution, and 
disbursement of income from IIM accounts, Indian trust land, and other 
revenue sources. The system also supports DOI land consolidation 
activities of fractionated lands and annual tribal trust evaluations 
for Tribes who compact trust programs, functions, services, and 
activities under Public Law 93-638 Self-Governance Compacts on behalf 
of the Secretary of the Interior.
    OST is publishing this revised notice to (1) update the system 
location, (2) propose new and modified routine uses, (3) update the 
categories of records and categories of individuals covered by the 
system, and (4) provide general and administrative updates to remaining 
sections to accurately reflect the management and scope of the system 
in accordance with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular 
A-108, ``Federal Agency Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, and 
Publication under the Privacy Act.''
    OST is proposing to modify existing routine uses to provide clarity 
and transparency, and reflect updates consistent with standard DOI 
routine uses. Routine uses A, B, G and L have been modified to provide 
additional clarification on external organizations and circumstances 
where disclosures are proper and necessary to facilitate the management 
of the IIM system. Routine use A was modified to further clarify 
disclosures to the Department of Justice or other Federal agencies when 
necessary in relation to litigation or judicial proceedings. Routine 
use B was modified to clarify disclosures to a congressional office to 
respond to or resolve an individual's request made to that office. 
Routine use G facilitates sharing with other government and tribal 
organizations pursuant to a court order or discovery request. Modified 
routine use L was revised to separate the sharing of information with 
the Department of the Treasury to recover debts owed to the United 
States into new proposed routine use W to distinguish the purpose of 
the sharing of information and promote greater transparency. Modified 
routine use I and new routine use J allow DOI to share information with 
appropriate Federal agencies or entities when reasonably necessary to 
respond to a breach of personally identifiable information and to 
prevent, minimize, or remedy the risk of harm to individuals or the 
Federal Government, or assist an agency in locating individuals 
affected by a breach in accordance with OMB Memorandum M-17-12, 
``Preparing for and Responding to a Breach of Personally Identifiable 
Information.''
    OST is proposing new routine uses to facilitate the sharing of 
information with agencies and organizations to ensure the efficient and 
effective management of the IIM system, or to carry out a statutory 
responsibility of the DOI or Federal Government. Proposed routine use V 
facilitates sharing of information with the Executive Office of the 
President to resolve issues concerning an individual's records when 
requested by the subject individual. Proposed routine use W allows 
sharing of information with the Department of the Treasury to recover 
debts owed to the United States.

II. Privacy Act

    The Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, embodies fair information 
practice principles in a statutory framework governing the means by 
which Federal agencies collect, maintain, use, and disseminate 
individuals' records. 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 about an individual is retrieved by the name or 
by some identifying number, symbol, or other identifying particular 
assigned to the individual. The Privacy Act defines an individual as a 
United States citizen or lawful permanent resident. Individuals may 
request access to their own records that are maintained in a system of 
records in the possession or under the control of the DOI by complying 
with DOI Privacy Act regulations at 43 CFR part 2, subpart K, and 
following the procedures outlined in the Records Access, Contesting 
Record, and Notification Procedures sections of this notice.
    The Privacy Act requires each agency to publish in the Federal 
Register a description denoting the existence and character of each 
system of records that the agency maintains and the routine uses of 
each system. The revised Individual Indian Money Trust Funds system of 
records notice is published in its entirety below. In accordance with 5 
U.S.C. 552a(r), DOI has provided a report of this system of records to 
the Office of Management and Budget and to Congress.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND DISPOSAL OF RECORDS:
    Records in this system are covered by the Indian Affairs Records 
Schedule (IARS) records series 6100 and 9000 approved on June 28, 2006 
by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) Job No. N1-
075-04-7 and Job. No. N1-075-06-8. The Indian Fiduciary Financial Trust 
records are cut off at the end of the fiscal year, maintained in the 
office two years after cut off, and then retired to the American Indian 
Records Repository (AIRR), Federal Records Center, Lenexa, Kansas. 
Record retention periods vary based on the type of record under the 
appropriate 6100 and 9000 records series. Subsequent legal transfer of 
the records to the National Archives of the United States will be in 
accordance with the signed Standard Form 258, Agreement to Transfer 
Records to the National Archives of the United States. Historical Trust 
Accounting records are cut off at fiscal year-end, maintained in the 
office of records for a maximum of 5 years after cut off, and then 
retired to the AIRR, Federal Records Center, Lenexa, Kansas. Subsequent 
legal transfer of the records to the National Archives of the United 
States will be as jointly agreed to between the U.S. Department of the 
Interior and NARA. Temporary records are maintained and disposed of in 
accordance with the General Records Schedule or the Departmental 
Records Schedule (DRS) for the appropriate record type (including data 
backup tapes or copies).

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL SAFEGUARDS:
    The records contained in this system are safeguarded in accordance 
with 43 CFR 2.226 and other applicable security and privacy rules and

maintained in locked file cabinets in secure locations under the 
control of authorized personnel. Computer servers on which electronic 
records are stored are located in secured DOI controlled facilities 
with physical, technical and administrative levels of security to 
prevent unauthorized access to the DOI network and information assets. 
Access granted to authorized personnel is password-protected, and each 
person granted access to the system must be individually authorized to 
use the system. A Privacy Act Warning Notice appears on computer 
monitor screens when records containing information on individuals are 
first displayed. Data exchanged between the servers and the system is 
encrypted. Backup tapes are encrypted and stored in a locked and 
controlled room in a secure, off-site location.
    Computerized records systems follow the National Institute of 
Standards and Technology standards as developed to comply with the 
Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 
U.S.C. 3501-3521; Federal Information Security Modernization Act of

and Information Systems. Security controls include user identification, 
passwords, database permissions, encryption, firewalls, audit logs, and 
network system security monitoring, and software controls.
    Access to records in the system is limited to authorized personnel 
who have a need to know to access the records in the performance of 
their official duties. Electronic data is protected through 
identification, passwords, database permission and software controls. 
Such security measures establish different access levels for different 
types of users associated with pre-defined groups and/or bureaus. Each 
user's access is restricted to only the functions and data necessary to 
perform that person's job responsibilities. Access can be restricted to 
specific functions (i.e., create, update, delete, view, assign 
permissions) and is restricted utilizing role-based access. Authorized 
users are required to follow established internal security protocols 
and must complete all security, privacy, and records management 
training and sign the DOI Rules of Behavior. Contract employees with 
access to the system are monitored by the Contracting Officer's 
Representative and agency Security Manager. A Privacy Impact Assessment 
was conducted to ensure that Privacy Act safeguard requirements are met 
and appropriate privacy controls and safeguards are in place.

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES:
    An individual requesting records on himself or herself should send 
a signed, written request to the System Manager identified above. The
