* The Standards Council of Canada (SCC)

voted to end its Laboratory Accreditation

Program for Substance Abuse (LAPSA)

effective May 12, 1998. Laboratories certified

through that program were accredited to

conduct forensic urine drug testing as

required by U.S. Department of

Transportation (DOT) regulations. As of that

date, the certification of those accredited

Canadian laboratories will continue under

DOT authority. The responsibility for

conducting quarterly performance testing

plus periodic on-site inspections of those

LAPSA-accredited laboratories was

transferred to the U.S. DHHS, with the

DHHS’ National Laboratory Certification

Program (NLCP) contractor continuing to

have an active role in the performance testing

and laboratory inspection processes. Other

Canadian laboratories wishing to be

considered for the NLCP may apply directly

to the NLCP contractor just as U.S.

laboratories do.

Upon finding a Canadian laboratory to be

qualified, the DHHS will recommend that

DOT certify the laboratory (Federal Register,

16 July 1996) as meeting the minimum

standards of the ‘‘Mandatory Guidelines for

Workplace Drug Testing’’ (59 Federal

Register, 9 June 1994, Pages 29908–29931).

After receiving the DOT certification, the

laboratory will be included in the monthly

list of DHHS certified laboratories and

participate in the NLCP certification

maintenance program.

Executive Officer, Substance Abuse and

Mental Health Services Administration.

BILLING CODE 4160–20–U

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Bureau of Land Management

Privacy Act of 1974; Creation of a New

System of Records

Pursuant to the provisions of the

Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5

U.S.C. 552a), notice is hereby given that

the Department of the Interior proposes

to establish a new system of records,

INTERIOR/BLM–35, to be maintained

by the Bureau of Land Management

(BLM).

This system of records is being

established by the BLM to provide and

maintain a new automated collections

and billings system, to replace the paper

processing system previously used by

BLM. The purpose of this system is to

track the money owed the BLM, issue

bills, and collect funds due the BLM in

compliance with the Debt Collection

Act of 1987.

5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(11) requires that the

public be provided a 30-day period in

which to comment on the intended use

of the information in the system of

records. The Office of Management and

Budget (OMB), in its Circular A–130,

requires an additional 10-day period (for

a total of 40 days) in which to make

these comments. Any persons interested

in commenting on this new system of

records may do so by submitting

comments in writing to the BLM Privacy

Act Officer, Information Resources

Management Policy Group, Department

of the Interior, WO520/725 LS, 1849 C.

St. NW, Washington, DC 20240.

Comments received on or before

February 14, 2000, will be considered.

The system will be effective as proposed

at the end of the comment period,

unless comments are received which

would require a contrary determination.

As required by the Privacy Act of

1974, as amended (5 U.S.C. 552a(r)), the

OMB, the Senate Committee on

Governmental Affairs, and the House

Committee on Government Operations

have been notified of this action.

The new system description,

‘‘Collections and Billings System’’

INTERIOR/BLM–35 will read as set

forth below.

Dated: December 20, 1999.

Michael D. Nedd,

Deputy Assistant Director, Information

Resources Management.

INTERIOR/BLM–35

SYSTEM NAME:

Collections and Billings System

(CBS)-Interior, BLM–35.

SYSTEM LOCATION:

This Collections and Billings database

will be maintained at the following

Bureau of Land Management (BLM)

locations U.S. Department of the Interior

(DOI), BLM, National Business Center

(NBC) Denver Federal Center, Building

40, Denver, Colorado 80225–0047. The

BLM Field Offices listed below in the

‘‘System Manager and Address’’ section

will be able to access pertinent

information in the system via the

Intranet.

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM:

Any business or individuals

transacting financial actions with the

Bureau of Land Management. Only

records reflecting personal information

are subject to the Privacy Act. This

system also contains records concerning

corporations and other business entities,

but these records are not subject to the

Privacy Act.

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:

(1) 31 U.S.C. 3512, (2) 31 U.S.C. 3711

through 3719, (3) 41 CFR part 301–304,

(4) the Treasury Financial Manual, (5)

the Debt Collection Act of 1982, Pub. L.

97–365, 96 Stat. 1749, as amended by

Pub. L. 98–167, 97 Stat. 1104, and Debt

Collection Improvements Act of 1996,

Pub. L. 104–134, 110 Stat. 1321(6) 26

U.S.C. 6103 (m)(2), and (7) 5 U.S.C.

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:

Names, addresses, social security

numbers, tax identification numbers,

reasons for payment and debt, method

of payment (including checking account

number, check number, or credit card

information), amounts owed, routine

billing and payment information used in

accounting and financial processing,

and information from processing

purchases via the Internet.

ROUTINE USE OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:

The primary uses of the records are to

maintain accounting and financial

information associated with the normal

accounting procedures of the BLM.

Specifically, the system will be used

for the billing of uses of public lands

(such as, collection of payments for

recreation sites, sand and gravel

extraction, and timber harvesting). It is

also used for billing of other goods and

services received from BLM received

(such as declining deposit accounts in

BLM public rooms), follow-up, updating

program files when payments are made,

and accounting for monies. It will also

include money which BLM employees

owe the Bureau. Records in this system

are subject to use in approved computer

matching programs authorized under

the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, for

debt collection purposes.

In addition to disclosures generally

permitted under 5 U.S.C. 552a(b) of the

Privacy Act, records or information

contained in this system may be

disclosed outside the DOI as a routine

use pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) as

follows:

(1) To the U.S. Department of Justice

or in a proceeding before a court or

adjudicative body when:

(a) The United States, the DOI, a

component of the DOI, or an employee

of the DOI who is represented by the

government is a party to litigation or

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 3 / Wednesday, January 5, 2000 / Notices 503

anticipated litigation, or has an interest

in such litigation; and

(b) The DOI determines that the

disclosure is relevant or necessary to the

litigation and is compatible with the

purpose for which the records were

compiled.

(2) To Federal, state, local, or foreign

agencies responsible for investigating,

prosecuting, enforcing, or implementing

a statute, regulation, rule, or order,

where the BLM becomes aware of an

indication of a violation or potential

violation of civil or criminal law or

regulation.

(3) To congressional offices in

response to a request for information on

behalf of, and at the request of the

individual who is the subject of the

records.

(4) To the U.S. Minerals Management

Service and Department of the Treasury

to effect payment to Federal, state, and

local government agencies, nongovernmental organizations, and

individuals.

(5) To consumer reporting agencies to

facilitate collection of debts owed the

Government,

(6) To disclose debtor information to

the IRS, or another Federal agency or its

contractor solely to aggregate

information for the IRS to collect debts

owed to the Federal government

through the offset of tax refunds.

(7) To other Federal agencies for the

purpose of collecting debts owed to the

Federal government by administrative

or salary offset.

(8) To other Federal agencies for the

purpose of collecting debts owed to the

Federal government when the other

agency acts as a BLM-authorized

collections officer.

(9) To any other Federal, state or local

agency for the purpose of conducting an

authorized computer matching program

to identify and locate delinquent

debtors for the recoupment of debts

owed to the Bureau of Land

Management.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING,

RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND

DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:

STORAGE:

Records are stored on a magnetic

media organized and accessed by

database management software.

RETRIEVABILITY:

Indexed by name, case serial or other

identifying number, appropriation, fund

code, order and transaction numbers,

organization code, social security

number, taxpayer identification number.

SAFEGUARDS:

Safeguards for the CBS conform to the

OMB and Departmental guidelines

reflecting the implementation of the

Computer Security Act of 1987, 40

U.S.C. 759. Data protection will be

secured through user identification,

passwords, database permissions, and

software controls. This will be applied

to all installations (see listing of location

sites provided in the ‘‘System Manager

and Address’’ section of the notice).

Because some of the information will be

transmitted electronically via the

Intranet, standard industry security

practices will be used to secure such

electronic transmissions.

Such security measures will allow

different access levels to different types

of users. For example certain access

levels will allow the BLM employees to

only query portions of the database,

while others access levels will be given

to specific Bureau employees for

entering new collections and billings

information, and updating or editing

existing information. Higher levels of

access allow changes to the system,

authorization of passwords, corrective

maintenance of the software, and

security controls to be imposed or lifted.

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:

Records in the CBS are covered by the

Treasury Financial Manual, the National

Archives and Records Administration

(NARA) General Records schedules, and

NARA approved Agency Records

Schedules.

BILLING CODE 4310–FB–M

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Bureau of Reclamation

Derby Dam Fish Passage, Newlands

Project, Nevada

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an

environmental document

(environmental assessment or

environmental impact statement) and

notice of public meetings.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(C)

of the National Environmental Policy

Act of 1969 (NEPA), the Bureau of

Reclamation (Reclamation), proposes to

prepare an environmental document for

the purpose of evaluating options to

provide fish passage at Derby Dam, a

facility of the Newlands Project located

on the Truckee River approximately 20

miles east of Reno, Nevada. The

environmental document will evaluate

the effects of the construction and

implementation of fish passage at Derby

Dam.

At present it is not clear whether the

scope of the action and anticipated

project impacts will require preparation

of an environmental impact statement

(EIS) instead of an environmental

assessment (EA). However, to ensure the

timely and appropriate level of NEPA

compliance and to limit potential future

delays to the project schedule,

Reclamation is proceeding as if the

project impacts would require

preparation of an EA. Reclamation will

reevaluate the need for an EIS after

obtaining written and oral comments on

the project scope, alternatives and

environmental impacts and after

Reclamation’s evaluation of potential

impacts of the proposed project.

Reclamation will publish a notice of

change if a decision is made to prepare

an EIS rather than an EA. However, the

scoping process to be conducted will

suffice for either course of action.

There are no known Indian Trust

Asset or environmental justice issues

associated with the proposed action.

The project is designed to benefit fishes

of both Pyramid Lake and the lower

Truckee River and is anticipated to have

a beneficial impact for this Indian Trust

Asset.

DATES: Four scoping meetings will be

held to solicit comments from interested

parties to assist in determining the

scope of the environmental analysis and

to identify the significant issues related

to this proposed action. The meeting

dates are:

Monday, February 7, 2000, at 4 p.m., in

Fernley, NV

Monday, February 7, 2000, at 7 p.m., in

Fallon, NV

Tuesday, February 8, 2000, at 7 p.m., in

Nixon, NV

Wednesday, February 9, 2000, at 7 p.m.,

in Reno, NV

ADDRESSES: The meeting locations are as

follows:

Fernley: Fernley Town Complex, 595

Silver Lace Blvd., Suite 117,

Fernley, NV 89408; telephone: (775)

575–5455

submitted by February 29, 2000, to

Caryn Huntt, Environmental Specialist,

Bureau of Reclamation, Lahontan Basin

Area Office, Attention: LO–450, P.O.

Box 640, Carson City, NV 89702.

Our practice is to make comments,

including names and home addresses of

respondents, available for public

review. Individual respondents may

request that we withhold their home

address from public disclosure, which

we will honor to the extent allowable by
