National Aeronautics and Space Administration January 7, 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Each Federal agency is required by the Privacy Act of 1974 to publish a description of the systems of records it maintains containing personal information when a system is substantially revised, deleted, or created. In this notice, NASA provides the required information for a new Agency-wide Privacy Act system of records generated in the process of complying with NASA's anti-harassment procedural requirements governing the reporting, fact-finding and resolution of allegations of harassment reported to NASA by its employees and contractors. This new system of records will assist NASA in fulfilling its obligations pursuant to the Supreme Court cases of Burlington Industries v. Ellerth, 524 U.S. 742 (1998), and Faragher v. City of Boca Raton, 524 U.S. 775 (1998): (1) To prevent harassment before it becomes severe or pervasive; (2) to conduct a prompt, thorough, and impartial investigation into allegations of harassing conduct; and (3) to take immediate and appropriate corrective action when the Agency determines that harassing conduct has occurred.
