# AGENCY:

 National Credit Union Administration. 

# ACTION:

 Notification of revisions and deletions of systems of records. 

# SUMMARY:

 The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) is revising its Privacy Act systems notices. The revisions result from a review of agency information practices conducted in accordance with the President's May 14, 1998, memorandum on privacy and personal information in federal records. In the review, NCUA identified several changes in its record-keeping practices which permitted the elimination of some systems and the consolidation of others. Due to organizational changes, several system managers had changed. In some systems, NCUA staff identified new routine uses compatible with the purposes for which the information is collected. No new exemptions from provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 were required. The revisions reflect the changes, and clarify the system notices. 

# EFFECTIVE DATE:

 The revised system notices will be effective without further notice on February 22, 2000, unless comments received before that date cause a contrary decision. If, based on the review of comments received, NCUA determines to make changes to the system notices, a new final notice will be published. 

# FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

 Dianne M. Salva, Staff Attorney, Division of Operations, Office of General Counsel, at the National Credit Union Administration, 1775 Duke Street, Alexandria, Virginia 22314, or telephone: (703) 518-6540. 

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

                     In a memorandum dated May 14, 1998, President Clinton directed federal agencies to conduct a thorough review of all agency systems of records. The President specifically directed agencies to consider changes in technology, function and organization that may have made the systems out of date and to review the routine uses published in the system notices to make sure that they continue to be necessary and compatible with the purposes for which they were collected. He also directed agencies to identify systems that may not have been described in a notice published in the                     **Federal Register**                     and to publish notices for any changes to the agency systems of records and report to the Office of Management and Budget within one year regarding the results of their efforts.                     Start Printed Page 3487

In its review NCUA determined to eliminate redundancies in its system notices, and as a result was able to delete nine systems. Most of the changes made by this notice are technical in nature, reflecting the current name and address of the office responsible for each system and renumbering the systems. In total NCUA reduced the number of systems from twenty-two to thirteen. It also updated its appendix B, listing the addresses of the regional offices. 

The review provided an opportunity to combine what were six identical systems published for employee records from each of the six NCUA regional offices, into one unified system covering all employees. This permitted the revision of one system and the elimination of five others. A routine use was added to permit disclosure of information relating to the qualifications of an individual to a licensing board. 

A routine use was added to the system covering employee payroll records, as required by the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996. 42 U.S.C. 653. 

The systems covering delinquent Freedom of Information Act request invoices was updated and expanded to cover the entire Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act request file and the method of record storage was changed to reflect the use of a computerized database to track requests and invoice payments. 

Three systems previously covered the files of failed credit unions which are placed in liquidation by NCUA. These three systems have been combined into one and two new routine uses were added. One new routine use covers required disclosures to other agencies and the other new routine use covers NCUA's maintenance of an Internet web page listing the names associated with unclaimed accounts at failed credit unions. 

Several new routine uses were added to the system covering investigative records maintained by the Office of Inspector General. One routine use permits the disclosure of information for audit purposes. Another routine use permits disclosure of information to other government agencies if it is required in order to obtain information about an individual. A routine use was also added to permit disclosure of information reflecting upon the qualifications of an individual to a licensing board. 

The system covering consumer complaints filed against credit unions was amended to reflect the use of a computerized database to track complaints. 

A routine use was added to the system covering litigation case files that would permit disclosure of information reflecting upon the qualifications of an individual to a licensing board. 

NCUA has deleted the following systems:

(NCUA-4, Verified Employee Mailing List; NCUA-6, New Examiner Training Files; NCUA-8, Region II Employee Development/Correspondence Records; NCUA-9, Region III Employee Development/Correspondence Records; NCUA-10, Region IV Employee Development/Correspondence Records; NCUA-11, Region V Employee Development/Correspondence Records; NCUA-12, Region VI Employee Development/Correspondence Records; NCUA-17, Acquired Assets and Share Payout Records System; NCUA-19, Trusteed Account Records System.

Having made these changes, NCUA's revised systems of records, along with the appendices, are published in their entirety below.
