Records

records, CFTC–35, Interoffice and

Internet E-Mail.

SUMMARY: This notice revises CFTC–35,

the Commission’s systems of records

under the Privacy Act of interoffice and

Internet e-mail. The revisions reflect the

changes in the maintenance of e-mail

records brought about by a change in the

changes are technical in nature and do

not significantly affect the privacy

expectations of the individuals on

whom records are retrievable.

DATES: May 24, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Stacy Dean Yochum, Office of the

Executive Director, (202) 418–5157,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

accordance with the Privacy Act of

1974, 5 U.S.C. 522a, and the

Commission’s implementing

regulations, 17 CFR part 146, the

Commission is publishing revisions to

its system of records, CFTC–35,

Interoffice and Internet E-Mail. The

Commission’s recent change in

operating networks affected the location

of the records and the categories of

records in the systems, as well as the

storage, safeguards, and retention and

disposal of the records.

Accordingly, the Commission is

giving notice of the following revisions

to CFTC–35:

CFTC–35

SYSTEM NAME:

Interoffice and Internet E-Mail

SYSTEM LOCATION:

Mail servers in each system location

(Washington, DC, Chicago, New York,

and Los Angeles) retain records.

Records are backed up nightly onto

magnetic tape in all locations. In

Washington, DC, the most recent two

weeks of tapes are kept in locked boxes

and tapes with information covering the

prior two weeks are kept at an off-site

storage facility. Tapes with information

covering the most recent four-week

period are kept on-site, in a secured

area, in the Chicago, New York and Los

Angeles locations.

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM:

All CFTC employees and on-site

contractors.

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:

Records on the use of the interoffice

and Internet e-mail system, including

the mailbox name, number of objects in

the mailbox, and aggregate size of the

mailbox.

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:

5 U.S.C. 301 and section 12(b)(3) of

the Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C.

16(b)(3).

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM:

The records are used by CFTC

network administrators who have a

need for the records in the performance

of their duties. See also the

Commission’s ‘‘General Statement of

Routine Uses,’’ Nos. 1, and 2, Privacy

Act Issuances, 1991 Comp., Vol. IV, p.

144. In addition, the records and data,

other than the content of individual

mailboxes, may also be disclosed as

necessary to contractors as necessary for

assessment, modification, or

maintenance of the e-mail system.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING,

RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING AND

DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM

STORAGE:

Records are stored on the mail servers

in each CFTC location. Servers are

backed up nightly to magnetic tape. In

Washington, DC, the most recent two

weeks of magnetic tape are kept in a

locked box in the Computer Room and

the prior two weeks are kept at an offsite storage facility. The entire four

weeks of magnetic tape information is

kept in unlocked boxes in a secured area

in the Chicago, New York and Los

Angeles locations.

RETRIEVABILITY:

The information can be retrieved by

assigned interoffice or Internet mail

address.

SAFEGUARDS:

Network administrators have access to

the e-mail information. This access is

generally limited to the ‘‘header’’

information described under

‘‘Categories of Records.’’ In addition, the

mailbox owner can grant access to

objects in the mailbox to others. The

tapes are kept in locked storage boxes in

Washington, DC, and only network

administrators and OIRM management

have keys to the locked boxes. In the

Chicago, New York and Los Angeles

locations, tapes are kept in a secured

area. Only designated office personnel

have access to the secured area.

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:

Records on magnetic tape are retained

for four weeks, then destroyed as the

tape is written over with new

information. Records are retained on the

mail servers until the sender and

receiver delete the information from the

e-mail system. Internet e-mail

information that is received by the

postmaster due to an error in delivery is

considered temporary and is destroyed

after the problem is corrected. When an

employee leaves the Commission, the

employee’s mailbox is deleted unless

the employee or the employee’s

administrative officer requests that the

mailbox be retained in order to recover

work-related information.
