Records (BGFRS–25). We invite public

ADDRESSES: Comments, which should

refer to Docket No. R–1072, may be

Elaine M. Boutilier, Senior Counsel,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board

is instituting a feedback program for its

managers and officers. Under this Multirater Feedback program, Board

employees who work for or with a

particular manager or officer are asked

to complete a voluntary, confidential

questionnaire regarding the performance

of that manager/officer and send it

directly to a consultant hired by the

Board for this program. The consultant

analyzes the completed questionnaires

and compiles a report for the manager/

officer that summarizes the comments

from the questionnaires. This report

does not identify individual comments

or those who completed the

questionnaires. The report is given only

to the manager/officer being evaluated;

no other Board employee or officer

receives a copy of the report. The

consultant maintains all of the data

connected with this program, identified

only by the name of the manager/officer

being evaluated. The data is stored by

name of the officer/manager being

evaluated, and thus is considered to be

a system of records under the Privacy

Act.

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), a

report of this new system of records is

being filed with the Chair of the House

Committee on Government Reform and

Oversight, the Chair of the Senate

Committee on Governmental Affairs,

and the Office of Management and

Budget. This new system of records will

become effective on June 28, 2000,

without further notice, unless the Board

publishes a notice to the contrary in the

Federal Register.
