In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Department of the Treasury amends this part to exempt several systems of records maintained by the Office of the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (SIGTARP) from certain provisions of the Privacy Act.

Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, the Treasury Department and the IRS are issuing temporary regulations under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the Affordable Care Act) relating to preexisting condition exclusions, lifetime and annual limits, rescissions, and patient protections. Those temporary regulations are being issued at the same time that the Employee Benefits Security Administration of the U.S. Department of Labor and the Office of Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services are issuing substantially similar interim final regulations under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the Public Health Service Act. The temporary regulations provide guidance to employers, group health plans, and health insurance issuers providing group health insurance coverage. The text of those temporary regulations also serves as the text of these proposed regulations.
