The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Office of Mission Support is giving notice that it proposes to amend its current list of general routine uses for EPA systems of records in accordance with the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. The amended list of routine uses is consistent with requirements in a memorandum issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on January 3, 2017 (Memorandum M-17-12 ``Preparing for and Responding to a Breach of Personally Identifiable Information''). OMB's memorandum requires that all Federal agencies publish two routine uses for their systems allowing for the disclosure of personally identifiable information to the appropriate parties in the course of responding to a breach or suspected breach of the agency's PII or to assist another agency in its response to a confirmed or suspected breach.
