Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 112,819. Abstract: These forms serve as the means by which borrowers in the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan), Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) and the Federal Perkins Loan (Perkins Loan) Programs may request deferment of repayment on their loans if they meet certain statutory and regulatory criteria. The U.S. Department of Education and other loan holders uses the information collected on these forms to determine whether a borrower meets the eligibility requirements for the specific deferment type being submitted.

This collection is merging the six currently approved deferment forms in 1845–0011 with the military deferment form currently approved under 1845– 0080 and the cancer treatment deferment form currently approved under 1845–0154. The Department is requesting a revision of the currently approved deferment forms. The proposed changes include the following: Streamlining the forms by eliminating duplicative and obsolete information; reordering items to present information in a more logical order that is consistent between forms; using ‘‘plain language’’ E:\FR\FM\23SEN1.SGM 23SEN1 77504 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 184 / Monday, September 23, 2024 / Notices to present information more clearly and consistently; revising language as necessary to reflect regulatory changes made by the Final Rule published on November 1, 2022 (87 FR 65904) that that eliminated the capitalization of unpaid interest following periods of forbearance effective July 1, 2023.

[FR Doc. 2024–21687 Filed 9–20–24; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4000–01–P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records U.S. Department of Energy. Notice of a modified system of AGENCY: ACTION: records. As required by the Privacy Act of 1974 and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circulars A–108 and A–130, the Department of Energy (DOE or the Department) is publishing notice of a modification to an existing Privacy Act system of records. DOE proposes to amend System of Records DOE–10 Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act Files. This System of Records Notice (SORN) is being modified to align with new formatting requirements, published by OMB, and to ensure appropriate Privacy Act coverage of business processes and Privacy Act information. This notice also incorporates into the ‘‘Routine Uses’’ section changes required by amendments to The Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA). While there are no substantive changes to the ‘‘Categories of Individuals’’ or ‘‘Categories of Records’’ sections covered by this SORN, substantive changes have been made to the ‘‘System Locations,’’ ‘‘Routine Uses,’’ and ‘‘Administrative, Technical and Physical Safeguards’’ sections to provide greater transparency. Changes to ‘‘Routine Uses’’ include new provisions related to responding to breaches of information held under a Privacy Act SORN as required by OMB’s Memorandum M–17–12, ‘‘Preparing for and Responding to a Breach of Personally Identifiable Information’’ (January 3, 2017). Changes to routine uses pertaining to EEOICPA have been modified to remove two categories of khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:57 Sep 20, 2024 Jkt 262001 obsolete users due to the 2004 amendments that repealed the use of physician panels. Three routine uses have been consolidated into one to reduce redundancy. Language throughout the SORN has been updated to align with applicable Federal privacy laws, policies, procedures, and best practices. DATES: This modified SORN will become applicable following the end of the public comment period on October 23, 2024 unless comments are received that result in a contrary determination. ADDRESSES: Written comments should be sent to the DOE Desk Officer, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, New Executive Office Building, Room 10102, 735 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503, and to Ken Hunt, Chief Privacy Officer, U.S. Department of Energy, 1000 Independence Avenue SW, Rm. 8H–085, Washington, DC 20585, by facsimile at (202) 586–8151, or by email at privacy@hq.doe.gov. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ken Hunt, Chief Privacy Officer, U.S. Department of Energy, 1000 Independence Avenue SW, Rm. 8H– 085, Washington, DC 20585, or by facsimile at (202) 586–8151, by email at privacy@hq.doe.gov, or by telephone at (240) 686–9485. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 9, 2009, DOE published a Compilation of its Privacy Act systems of records, which included System of Records DOE–10 Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act Files. This notice proposes amendments to the system locations section of that system of records by updating, removing, and adding addresses as appropriate. Addresses updated include: John A. Gordon Albuquerque Complex, Office of Science (Chicago and Oak Ridge Offices), Golden Field Offices, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Lockheed Idaho Technical Center, Miamisburg Environmental Management Project, National Energy Technology Laboratory (Pittsburg, Morgantown, and Albany Offices), National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Nevada Field Office, Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education, Environmental Management Consolidated Business Center, Office of River Protection, Richland Operations Office, Savannah River Office, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, and Stanford Synchrotron Radiology Laboratory. Addresses removed include: Bettis Atomic Power Laboratory, Office of Energy, Efficiency and Renewable Energy (Boston and PO 00000 Frm 00034 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Denver Offices), Hanford Environmental Health Foundation, Philadelphia Regional Office, Radiological and Environmental Health Laboratory, and Seattle Regional Office. Addresses added include: B&W Pantex, Office of Legacy Management, Technology Engineering Center, and Peek Street Facility. In the ‘‘Routine Uses’’ section, this modified notice deletes a previous routine use concerning efforts responding to a suspected or confirmed loss of confidentiality of information as it appears in DOE’s compilation of its Privacy Act systems of records (January 9, 2009) and replaces it with one to assist DOE with responding to a suspected or confirmed breach of its records of Personally Identifiable Information (PII), modeled with language from OMB’s Memorandum M– 17–12, ‘‘Preparing for and Responding to a Breach of Personally Identifiable Information’’ (January 3, 2017). Further, this notice adds one new routine use to ensure that DOE may assist another agency or entity in responding to the other agency’s or entity’s confirmed or suspected breach of PII, as appropriate, as aligned with OMB’s Memorandum M–17–12. Some changes have been made to the routine uses to accommodate 2004 and 2015 amendments to EEOICPA by Subtitle E of Division C of the Ronald W. Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005 (Pub. L. 108–375) and Carl Levin and Howard P. ‘‘Buck’’ McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Pub. L. 113– 291). ‘‘Categories of Records in the System’’ now includes individual medical records, payroll information/ records, accident reports; badging records; workers’ compensation records; security badge records; security records; industrial hygiene records. ‘‘Radiological and chemical’’ has been added to modify ‘‘exposure records.’’ An administrative change required by the FOIA Improvement Act of 2016 extends the length of time a requestor is permitted to file an appeal under the Privacy Act from 30 to 90 days. Both the ‘‘System Locations’’ and ‘‘Administrative, Technical and Physical Safeguards’’ sections have been modified to reflect the Department’s usage of cloud-based services for records storage. Language throughout the SORN has been updated to align with applicable Federal privacy laws, policies, procedures, and best practices.
