SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

system of records that is subject to the 

Privacy Act of 1974. The proposed 

system of records will maintain

the purpose of providing additional 

physical security for agency assets. New 

identification badges will be issued to 

employees and contractors containing 

the person’s photograph, name, agency 

name, and identification of active 

employee or contractor status. Related 

access controls will be assigned as 

appropriate. 

The USPTO plans to implement a

the Carlyle campus in Alexandria, VA. 

The Access Control System will use 

new USPTO identification badges to 

control access to physical assets.
