SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the USGS is rescinding three system of records notices (SORNs) from its inventory. During a review of USGS system of records notices, it was determined the records associated with INTERIOR/USGS–13, Manuscript Processing, INTERIOR/USGS–15, Earth Science Information Customer Records, and INTERIOR/USGS–20, Photo File System, are no longer subject to the provisions of the Privacy Act. Rescindment of these notices will ensure statutory compliance with the Privacy Act, and Office of Management PO 00000 Frm 00039 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 and Budget Circular A–108, Federal Agency Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, and Publication under the Privacy Act. A description of the affected records and the justification for rescindment of each SORN follows. The records associated with INTERIOR/USGS–13, Manuscript Processing, consist of scientific information products (IP), such as scientific reports, articles, abstracts, data releases, presentations, visual aids, and other deliverables that are subject to USGS Fundamental Science Practices. The IP records are maintained by the Office of Science Quality and Integrity (OSQI) in the Information Product Data System (IPDS), an internal USGS workflow application. The records in IPDS are not stored or retrieved by use of personal identifiers. Rather, records are indexed and retrieved by their product number which is a unique identifier for the publication record. Accordingly, the records associated with INTERIOR/USGS–13 no longer meet the statutory definition of a system of records under the Privacy Act. The records associated with INTERIOR/USGS–15, Earth Science Information Customer Records, are now covered by INTERIOR/USGS–28, USGS Store Customer Records, 88 FR 55714 (August 16, 2023). These records, previously maintained by the Earth Science Information Office (ESIO), consisted of customer account and inquiry files related to the sale and distribution of satellite imagery prints produced by the USGS. The ESIO records were decommissioned and migrated to the USGS Store (Science Information Delivery Branch, Office of the Associate Chief Information Officer). Accordingly, this rescindment eliminates an unnecessary duplicate SORN from the DOI inventory. The records associated with INTERIOR/USGS–20, Photo File System, have been decommissioned and are no longer maintained by the USGS. The records, which consisted of nondigital photographs of USGS senior leaders, have been transferred for historical preservation or destroyed in accordance with USGS General Records Disposition Schedule N1–57–03–01, Items 1101–01b and 1101–01c, as approved by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). Accordingly, this SORN is hereby rescinded as it is no longer needed. The USGS records are maintained in accordance with Federal records laws and are handled as required by the Privacy Act and the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to ensure the greatest protection of personal privacy. Rescission of these SORNs will have no E:\FR\FM\12JAN1.SGM 12JAN1 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 9 / Friday, January 12, 2024 / Notices adverse impact on individual privacy as they are no longer in use or no longer needed due to being superseded by other published SORNs.

See 25 U.S.C. 2710(d)(8). If the Secretary does not approve or disapprove a Tribal-State compact within the 45 days, IGRA provides the Tribal-State compact is considered to have been approved by the Secretary but only to the extent the compact is consistent with IGRA. See 25 U.S.C. 2710(d)(8)(C). The IGRA also requires the Secretary of the Interior to publish in the Federal Register notice of the approved Tribal-State compacts for the purpose of engaging in Class III gaming activities on Indian lands. See 25 U.S.C. 2710(d)(8)(D). The Department’s regulations at 25 CFR 293.4 require all compacts and amendments to be reviewed and approved by the Secretary prior to taking effect. The Secretary took no action on the Compact amendment between the Ewiiaapaayp Band of Kumeyaay Indians and the State of California, within the 45-day statutory review period. Therefore, the Compact amendment is considered to have been approved, but only to the extent it is consistent with IGRA. See 25 U.S.C. 2710(d)(8)(C).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy 
Act of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the USGS is rescinding three 
system of records notices (SORNs) from its inventory. During a review 
of USGS system of records notices, it was determined the records 
associated with INTERIOR/USGS-13, Manuscript Processing, INTERIOR/USGS-
15, Earth Science Information Customer Records, and INTERIOR/USGS-20, 
Photo File System, are no longer subject to the provisions of the 
Privacy Act. Rescindment of these notices will ensure statutory 
compliance with the Privacy Act, and Office of Management and Budget 
Circular A-108, Federal Agency Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, 
and Publication under the Privacy Act. A description of the affected 
records and the justification for rescindment of each SORN follows.
    The records associated with INTERIOR/USGS-13, Manuscript 
Processing, consist of scientific information products (IP), such as 
scientific reports, articles, abstracts, data releases, presentations, 
visual aids, and other deliverables that are subject to USGS 
Fundamental Science Practices. The IP records are maintained by the 
Office of Science Quality and Integrity (OSQI) in the Information 
Product Data System (IPDS), an internal USGS workflow application. The 
records in IPDS are not stored or retrieved by use of personal 
identifiers. Rather, records are indexed and retrieved by their product 
number which is a unique identifier for the publication record. 
Accordingly, the records associated with INTERIOR/USGS-13 no longer 
meet the statutory definition of a system of records under the Privacy 
Act.
    The records associated with INTERIOR/USGS-15, Earth Science 
Information Customer Records, are now covered by INTERIOR/USGS-28, USGS 
Store Customer Records, 88 FR 55714 (August 16, 2023). These records, 
previously maintained by the Earth Science Information Office (ESIO), 
consisted of customer account and inquiry files related to the sale and 
distribution of satellite imagery prints produced by the USGS. The ESIO 
records were decommissioned and migrated to the USGS Store (Science 
Information Delivery Branch, Office of the Associate Chief Information 
Officer). Accordingly, this rescindment eliminates an unnecessary 
duplicate SORN from the DOI inventory.
    The records associated with INTERIOR/USGS-20, Photo File System, 
have been decommissioned and are no longer maintained by the USGS. The 
records, which consisted of non-digital photographs of USGS senior 
leaders, have been transferred for historical preservation or destroyed 
in accordance with USGS General Records Disposition Schedule N1-57-03-
01, Items 1101-01b and 1101-01c, as approved by the National Archives 
and Records Administration (NARA). Accordingly, this SORN is hereby 
rescinded as it is no longer needed.
    The USGS records are maintained in accordance with Federal records 
laws and are handled as required by the Privacy Act and the Freedom of 
Information Act (FOIA) to ensure the greatest protection of personal 
privacy. Rescission of these SORNs will have no

[[Page 2237]]

adverse impact on individual privacy as they are no longer in use or no 
longer needed due to being superseded by other published SORNs. This 
rescindment will also promote the overall streamlining and management 
of DOI Privacy Act systems of records.
