Privacy Act of 1974; Systems of Records

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of modified systems of records; request for comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

[[Page 64259]]

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974 and Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) Circular No. A-108, to ensure the system of records 
notices remain accurate, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) 
staff reviews each notice on a periodic basis. As a result of this 
systematic review, the NRC is republishing 13 of its system of records 
notices and has made various revisions to ensure that the NRC's notices 
remain clear, accurate, and up to date. Four of the system notices--NRC 
5, Grants Management System, NRC 8, Employee Disciplinary Actions, 
Appeals, Grievances, and Complaints Records, NRC 11, Reasonable 
Accommodations Records, and NRC 23, Case Management System--Indices, 
Files, and Associated Records are subject to a 30-day comment period. 
The revisions to these systems, with the exception of the modifications 
to routines uses for the NRC 5 and NRC 8 systems, are in effect upon 
this publication. The NRC 5 and NRC 8 routine use modifications will go 
into effect 30 days after this publication. The remaining systems 
revisions are minor corrective and administrative changes that do not 
meet the threshold criteria established by OMB for either a new or 
altered system of records. The minor modifications include updating 
authorities, narrowing the scope of one system notice, renaming two 
systems for clarity, and various other minor updates, in accordance 
with OMB Circular A-108. Additional details are provided in the 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this document.

DATES: Submit comments by November 23, 2022. Comments received after 
this date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but the 
Commission is able to ensure consideration only for comments received 
before this date.

II. Background

    Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974 and OMB Circular No. A-108, 
``Federal Agency Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, and 
Publication under the Privacy Act,'' notice is hereby given that the 
NRC is republishing 13 of its system of records notices. In six of 
those system of records notices, there are revisions that include minor 
and administrative changes that do not meet the criteria for either a 
new or altered system of records notice. Three of the systems are being 
republished as part of our review process with no changes in a single 
document for ease of use and reference since the last publication in 
2019.
    The changes in the following four Privacy Act system of records 
notices do meet the criteria for an altered system of records.
    First, the NRC is renaming the NRC 5, Contracts Records System as 
the Grants Management System to reflect a narrowing of the scope of the 
system. Other revisions associated with narrowing the scope of the 
system include modifying the sections on purpose, authority, categories 
of individuals covered, categories of records, routine uses, policies 
and practices for retrieval of records, and policies and practices for 
retention and disposal.
    The NRC is revising NRC 8, Employee Disciplinary Actions, Appeals, 
Grievances, and Complaints Records to clarify the purpose of the 
system, the categories of individuals covered by the system, the record 
source categories, the routine uses, and the administrative, technical, 
and physical safeguards.
    The NRC is revising NRC 11, Reasonable Accommodation Records, to 
clarify the authority for maintenance of this system.
    The NRC is revising NRC 23, Office of Investigations Indices, Files 
and Associated Records, by renaming it as the Case Management System--
Indices, Files, and Associated Records and revising it to clarify that 
the system covers both investigation and

[[Page 64260]]

enforcement information. The sections of the notice that the NRC is 
revising include: system managers, categories of individuals covered, 
categories of records, policies and practices for storage of records, 
policies and practices for retrieval of records, and policies and 
practices for retention and disposal.
    The revisions to systems: NRC 5, Grants Management System; NRC 8, 
Employee Disciplinary Actions, Appeals, Grievances, and Complaints 
Records; NRC 11, Reasonable Accommodation Records and NRC 23, Office of 
Investigations Indices, Files and Associated Records, by renaming it as 
the Case Management System--Indices, Files, and Associated Records, are 
subject to a 30-day comment period. The revisions to these systems, 
with the exception of the modifications to routines uses for the NRC 5 
and NRC 8 systems, are in effect upon this publication. The NRC 5 and 
NRC 8 routine use modifications will go into effect 30 days after this 
publication.
    A report on these revisions has been sent to OMB, the Committee on 
Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of U.S. Senate, and the 
Committee on Oversight and Reform of the U.S. House of Representatives, 
as required by the Privacy Act.
    If changes are made based on the NRC's review of comments received, 
the NRC will publish a subsequent notice.
    The text of the report, in its entirety, is attached.

    Dated: October 19, 2022.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Senior Agency Official for Privacy, Office of the Chief Information 
Officer.

    The notice for each system of records states the name and location 
of the record system, the authority for and manner of its operation, 
the categories of individuals that it covers, the types of records that 
it contains, the sources of information in those records, and the 
routine uses of each system of records. Each notice also includes the 
business address of the NRC official who will inform interested persons 
of the procedures whereby they may gain access to and request amendment 
of records pertaining to them.
    The Privacy Act provides certain safeguards for an individual 
against an invasion of personal privacy by requiring Federal agencies 
to protect records contained in an agency system of records from 
unauthorized disclosure and to ensure that information is current and 
accurate for its intended use and that adequate safeguards are provided 
to prevent misuse of such information.

20555-0001.

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:
    42 U.S.C. 16274a, ``University Nuclear Leadership Program.''

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM:
    To administer grant programs for scholarship, fellowships, faculty 
development and research and development projects at institutions of 
higher education, including scholarships to trade schools and community 
colleges. This information is used to track a student that receives 
federal grant funds under a scholarship or fellowship from academia 
through employment after graduation to ensure the student's compliance 
with the terms of his or her service agreement under the University 
Nuclear Leadership Program (UNLP).

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM:
    Student recipients who are selected by Grantee Institutions as sub-
grantees to receive federal grant funds for scholarships or fellowships 
under UNLP grant awards.

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
    Student name, grant award providing financial support, type of 
grant award, performance dates of the grant award, address, phone, 
email, students' educational major/degree, amount of funds received 
under the grant award, graduation date, service obligation requirement, 
service agreement received, place of employment, position held, service 
agreement received, work status (employed in nuclear, graduated, waiver 
approved, repayment), tracking of a waiver requested/approved, invoice

    The information is derived from approved student service agreements 
that are required under the program pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 2015b. The 
NRC establishes the agreement per the statutory and program 
requirements. The grant recipient institutions require the students to 
complete the forms for approval by the NRC and countersignature by the 
institution.

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES 
OF USERS AND THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:
    In addition to the disclosures permitted under subsection (b) of

disclosure is compatible with the purpose for which the record was 
collected under the following routine uses:
    a. A record from this system of records may be disclosed as a 
routine use to that individual's educational institution in order to 
monitor the progress of scholarship and fellowship recipients, to 
ensure compliance with program requirements, to use the data to 
demonstrate program effectiveness, and for the educational 
institution's record-keeping purposes.
