name, current address and date and 

place of birth. You must sign your

the Chief FOIA Officer, Department of 

Agriculture, 1400 Independence Avenue 

SW., Washington, DC 20250. In addition 

you should provide the following: 

• An explanation of why you believe 

the Department would have information

you must include a statement from that 

individual certifying his/her agreement 

for you to access his/her records. 

Without this bulleted information the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Established in 1905, the Forest 

Service is an agency of the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture. The mission 

of the USDA’s Forest Service is to 

sustain the health, diversity, and 

productivity of the Nation’s forests and 

grasslands, which encompass 193 

million acres of land, to meet the needs 

of present and future generations. 

The purpose of this system is to allow 

the Forest Service to maintain records 

regarding contact information of private 

landowners in the United States who 

are solicited to participate in the 

National Woodland Owner Survey 

(NWOS). The contact information 

collected is the name, mailing address, 

phone number, and email address; and 

it is used to solicit participation in the 

NWOS. The information collected 

through the survey is used only to 

produce statistical reports of general 

trends in landowner attributes. The 

results from the survey are stored in a 

separate database and are not a part of 

this system of records. 

Pursuant to the Privacy Act, and as 

part of the Forest Service’s ongoing 

effort to review and update system of 

records notices, the agency proposes a 

new records system: National Woodland 

Owner Survey Database. 

II. Privacy Act 

The Privacy Act embodies fair 

information principles in a statutory 

framework governing the means by 

which the United States Government 

collects, maintains, uses, and 

disseminates individuals’ records. The 

Privacy Act applies to information that 

is maintained in a ‘‘system of records.’’ 

A ‘‘system of records’’ is a group of any 

records under the control of an agency 

for which information is retrieved by 

the name of an individual or by some 

identifying number, symbol, or other 

identifying particular assigned to the 

individual. In the Privacy Act, an 

individual is defined to encompass 

United States citizens and lawful 

permanent residents. 

The Privacy Act requires each agency 

to publish in the Federal Register a 

description denoting the type and 

character of each system of records that 

the agency maintains, and the routine 

uses that are contained in each system 

in order to make agency recordkeeping 

practices transparent, to notify 

individuals regarding the uses to which 

their records are put, and to assist 

individuals to more easily find such 

files within the agency. Below is the 

description of the USDA/FS–58 

National Woodland Owner Survey 

Database. 

A report of the proposed system of 

records, required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) as 

implemented by Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) Circular A–130, was 

sent to the Chairman, Committee on 

Homeland Security and Governmental 

Affairs, United States Senate; the 

Chairman, Committee on Oversight and 

Government Reform, U.S. House of 

Representatives; and the Administrator, 

Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs, OMB. 

Dated: March 30, 2012. 

Thomas J. Vilsack, 

Secretary. 

SYSTEM NAME: 

National Woodland Owners Database, 

USDA/FS–58. 

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: 

None. 

SYSTEM LOCATION: 

The records in this system are 

collected in a database located on secure 

servers in Kansas City, Missouri. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM: 

Private woodland owners, including 

individuals, families, businesses, and 

other private groups, in the United 

States that are solicited to participate in 

the National Woodland Owner Survey. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

Name, mailing address, phone 

number, email address, and a unique 

identification number that is internally 

generated. 

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

16 U.S.C. 1600–1614; 16 U.S.C. 1641– 

1647 

PURPOSE(S): 

The purpose of this system is to allow 

the USDA Forest Service to maintain 

records regarding private woodland 

owners in the United States who are 

solicited to participate in the National 

Woodland Owner Survey. 

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: 

1. Disclose to the Department of 

Justice when (a) the agency or any 

component thereof; or (b) any employee 

of the agency in his or her official 

capacity where the Department of 

Justice has agreed to represent the 

employee; or (c) the United States 

Government, is a party to litigation or 

has an interest in such litigation, and by 

careful review, the agency determines 

that the records are both relevant and 

necessary to the litigation, and the use 

of such records by the Department of 

Justice is therefore deemed by the 

agency to be for a purpose that is 

compatible with the purpose for which 

the agency collected the records. 

2. Disclose to a court or adjudicative 

body in a proceeding when (a) the 

agency or any component thereof; or (b) 

any employee of the agency in his or her 

official capacity; or (c) any employee of 

the agency in his or her individual 

capacity where the agency has agreed to 

represent the employee; or (d) the 

United States Government, is a party to 

the litigation or has an interest in such 

litigation, and by careful review, the 

agency determines that the records are 

both relevant and necessary to the 

litigation, and the use of such records is 

therefore deemed by the agency to be for 

a purpose that is compatible with the 

purpose for which the agency collected 

the records. 

3. Disclose when a record on its face, 

or in conjunction with other records, 

indicates a violation or potential 

violation of law, whether civil, criminal, 

or regulatory in nature, and whether 

arising by general statute or particular 

program statute, or by regulation, rule, 

or order issued pursuant thereto, 

disclosure may be made to the 

appropriate agency, whether Federal, 

foreign, State, local, or Tribal, or other 

public authority responsible for 

enforcing or implementing the statute, 

or rule, regulation, or order issued 

pursuant thereto, if the information 

disclosed is relevant to any 

enforcement, regulatory, investigative, 

or prosecutive responsibility of the 

receiving entity. 

4. Disclose to a Member of Congress 

or a Congressional staff member in 

response to an inquiry of the 

Congressional office made at the written 

request of the constituent about whom 

the record is maintained. 

5. Disclose to the National Archives 

and Records Administration or to the 

General Services Administration for 

records management inspections 

conducted under 44 U.S.C. 2904 and

6. Disclose to employees of USDA’s 

National Agricultural Statistics Service, 

agency contractors, grantees, experts, 

consultants, or volunteers who have 

been engaged by the agency to assist in 

the performance of a service related to 

this system of records and who need to 

have access to the records in order to 

perform the activity. Recipients shall be 

required to comply with the 

requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, 

as amended, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 

552a(m). 

7. Disclose to appropriate agencies, 

entities, and persons when (1) the 

Department suspects or has confirmed 

that the security or confidentiality of 

information in the system of records has 

been compromised; (2) the Department 

has determined that as a result of the 

suspected or confirmed compromise 

there is a risk of harm to economic or 

property interests, identity theft or 

fraud, or harm to the security or 

integrity of this system or other systems 

or programs (whether maintained by the 

Department or another agency or entity) 

that rely upon the compromised 

information; and (3) the disclosure 

made to such agencies, entities, and 

persons is reasonably necessary to assist 

in connection with the Department’s 

efforts to respond to the suspected or 

confirmed compromise and prevent, 

minimize, or remedy such harm.
