International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs Personnel Records System
Notice is hereby given that the Department of State proposes to create a new system of records, the International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs Personnel Records System, which is currently in operation, pursuant to the provision of the Privacy Act of 1974 as amended (5 U.S.C. 552a) and Office of Management and Budget Circular No. A-130, Appendix I. The Department's report was filed with the Office of Management and Budget on October 8, 2008. It is proposed that the new system be named ``International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs Personnel Records System.'' The new system description will specify that International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs Personnel Records System maintains records primarily on contracted personnel serving in criminal justice roles for the purposes of documenting individuals' experience and skills relevant to International Narcotic Law Enforcement Affairs' funded programs; ensuring foreign policy sensitivity and maintenance of the public trust, personnel safety and accountability; providing aggregate statistical data for program management purposes; providing information related to employment suitability for service in high-risk environments, including authority to carry weapons; and capturing and validating flight mission data. The proposed routine uses provide for disclosure to private employers when necessary for contract administration and to Federal agencies and international organizations, upon their request, for the purpose of verifying information relating to employment eligibility. These proposed routine uses are compatible with the purpose of collecting information for the International Narcotics Law Enforcement Affairs Personnel Records System, as they facilitate the selection of suitable individuals to serve as contract personnel in operations organized and funded by the Department of State, or as contract personnel for other federal agencies or international organizations operating in high-risk environments where the selection of suitable individuals is essential for maintaining public trust, personnel safety and accountability. Any persons interested in commenting on the new International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs Personnel Records system of records may do so by submitting comments in writing to Margaret P. Grafeld, Director, Office of Information Programs and Service, A/ISS/ IPS, SA-2, 515 22nd Street NW., Department of State, Washington, DC 20522-8001. The new system of records for the International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs Personnel Records System will remain effective, unless comments are received 40 days from the date of publication that result in a contrary determination. This new system description will read as set forth below.
