Office of the Secretary October 23, 2015 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Department of the Interior (Interior) is seeking nominations for individuals to be Committee members or alternates on the U.S. Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative Advisory Committee (Committee). We seek nominees who can represent stakeholder constituencies from government, civil society, and industry so that we can fill current vacancies and create a roster of candidates in case future vacancies occur.

The Office of the Secretary of Defense proposes to alter an existing system of records, DPR 32, entitled ``Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve Ombudsman and Outreach Programs'' to record information related to the mediation of disputes and answering of inquiries related to the USERRA; by tracking case assignments and mediation results of potential conflicts between employers and the National Guard, Reserves, or NDMS members they employ; and by reporting statistics related to the Ombudsman Program in aggregate and at the state committee-level. These records are also used as a management tool for statistical analysis, tracking, reporting, evaluating program effectiveness and conducting research.

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the U.S. Department of Transportation proposes to rename, update, and reissue the Department of Transportation system of records currently titled, ``Department of Transportation/ALL 8 Employee Transportation Facilitation System of Records.'' This system of records allows the Department of Transportation/Office of the Secretary to collect and maintain records on Department of Transportation employees who participate in the Department's transit, carpool/vanpool, bicycle and parking benefit program, employees of other Federal agencies for whom DOT administers a Federal carpool/vanpool, and/or parking and transit benefit program. It also allows the Federal Aviation Administration to collect and maintain records on behalf of its employees who participate in transit and parking benefit programs administered by the Federal Aviation Administration. In addition to non-substantive changes to simply the formatting and text of the previously published notice, we are revising this notice to reflect System Manager's address change, and clarify the routine uses of information in the system. This updated system will be renamed and included in the Department of Transportation's inventory of record systems and referred to as ``DOT/ ALL 8Parking and Transit Benefit System.''

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of Transportation (DOT) is giving notice that it will retire the following Privacy Act system of records: DOT/ALL 18, International Freight Data System (IFDS) (April 14, 2008, 73 FR 20084). The IFDS was never implemented by the DOT and the DOT will continue to rely upon the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Automated Commercial Environment/ International Trade Data System for its data needs.
