45 CFR Part 1159

RIN 3135–AA16

Implementation of the Privacy Act of

1974

AGENCY: National Endowment for the

Arts, NFAH

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The National Endowment for

the Arts (Endowment) proposes to

amend its Privacy Act regulations to

reflect administrative changes at the

agency and to comply with the

President’s Memorandum on Plain

Language in Government Writing. These

regulations establish procedures by

which an individual may determine

whether a system of records maintained

by the Endowment contains a record

pertaining to him or her; gain access to

such records; and request correction or

amendment of such records. These

regulations also establish exemptions

from certain Privacy Act requirements

for all or part of certain systems of

records maintained by the Endowment.

DATES: Written comments on these

regulations must be received by June 19,

2000.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons should

submit written comments concerning

these regulations to Karen Elias, Deputy

General Counsel, National Endowment

for the Arts, 1100 Pennsylvania Avenue

NW, Room 518, Washington, DC 20506.

Written comments may also be sent to

Ms. Elias by telefax at (202) 682–5572 or

by electronic mail at

eliask@arts.endow.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Karen Elias, (202) 682–5418.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Endowment operates as part of the

National Foundation on the Arts and the

Humanities under the National

Foundation on the Arts and the

Humanities Act of 1965, as amended (20

U.S.C. 951 et seq). The corresponding

regulations published at 45 CFR Chapter

XI, Subchapter A apply to the entire

Foundation, while the regulations

published at 45 CFR Chapter XI,

Subchapter B apply only to the

Endowment.

This proposed rule adds Privacy Act

regulations to Subchapter B (45 CFR

part 1159), replacing existing

regulations in Subchapter A (45 CFR

part 1115) with regard to the

Endowment. The new regulations reflect

administrative changes at the

Endowment. In addition, the new

regulations’ question-and-answer format

and increased detail as to several

provisions of the Privacy Act are

intended to increase understanding of

the Endowment’s Privacy Act policies.

The Endowment is authorized to

propose the new regulations under 5

U.S.C. 552a(f) of the Privacy Act.

Regulatory Impact

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory

Planning and Review

This proposed rule is not classified as

a significant rule under Executive Order

12866 because it will not result in: (1)

an annual effect on the economy of $100

million or more; (2) a major increase in

costs or prices for consumers,

individual industries, geographic

regions, or Federal, State, or local

government agencies; or (3) significant

adverse effects on competition,

employment, investment, productivity,

innovation, or the ability of United

States-based enterprises to compete

with foreign-based enterprises in

domestic or foreign markets.

Accordingly, no regulatory impact

assessment is required. In addition,

based on the assessments noted in this

paragraph, this proposed rule is not a

‘‘major rule’’ as defined at 5 U.S.C.

804(2).

Regulatory Flexibility Act

The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5

U.S.C. 601 et seq.) requires that a

regulation that has a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities, small
