COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION


Privacy Act of 1974; Notice; Publication of the Systems of 
Records Managed by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission

AGENCY: Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

ACTION: Notice; publication of existence and character of revised 
systems of records and proposed routine uses.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (Commission) is 
revising the notices it is required to publish under the Privacy Act of 
1974 to describe the systems of records that contain information about 
individuals. This revision incorporates address and title changes and 
updated system descriptions. It also incorporates new systems of 
records that were compiled since the last publication of the 
Commission's systems of records notices in 2001. This revision proposes 
to add routine uses that are applicable to all of the Commission's 
systems of records and to re-identify the systems of records already in 
existence in a more consistent format.

DATES: Comments should be postmarked by March 14, 2011. This notice 
will become effective without further notice, on the date which is 60 
days from the date given above unless otherwise revised pursuant to 
comments received.

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be mailed or delivered to: Office of 
the Secretariat, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Three Lafayette 
Centre, 1155 21st Street, NW., Washington, DC 20581. Comments may also 
be sent by e-mail to http://comments.cftc.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy Harman-Stokes, Chief Privacy 
Officer, Office of the Executive Director, Commodity Futures Trading 
Commission, Three Lafayette Centre, 1155 21st Street, NW., Washington, 
DC 20581. Telephone: (202) 418-6629 or e-mail: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#abc0c3cad9c6cac586d8dfc4c0ced8ebc8cddfc885ccc4dd"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="d0bbb8b1a2bdb1befda3a4bfbbb5a390b3b6a4b3feb7bfa6">[email protected]</span></a>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice alerts the public to the 
information the Commission collects and maintains on individuals. In 
compiling and publishing the complete text for all of the Commission 
systems of records, new routine uses (blanket routine uses) have been 
added that apply to all of the notices. Since routine uses are 
permissive in nature, the blanket routine uses and the routine uses 
listed for each of the systems of records may be used to make a 
disclosure, but are not required to be used when a requester seeks a 
record. The responsibility to decide whether a routine use is 
applicable rests with the Commission. The Commission is also proposing 
to add a new system of records entitled, Emergency Locator System as 
CFTC-9. This system of records will contain information about 
Commission employees and those identified by the employee to contact in 
the event of a medical or other emergency concerning the employee.
    The system report, as required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) has been 
submitted to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental 
Affairs of the United States Senate, the Committee on Oversight and 
Government Reform of the House of Representatives, and the Office of 
Management and Budget.

The Privacy Act

    The Privacy Act is a Federal law that protects information about 
individuals that is collected and maintained in a ``system of records'' 
by an agency of the United States government. In addition to providing 
the public with information about these systems, the Privacy Act and 
the Commission's rules limit the agency's ability to use or disclose 
personal information except for specific purposes.

Systems of Records

    A ``system of records'' is a collection of information about 
individuals in paper, electronic, or other format, from which 
information is retrieved by the name of the individual or by some other 
identifying particular assigned to the individual, such as a social 
security number or address. The Privacy Act does not cover information 
about businesses or about individuals who are not U.S. citizens or 
lawfully admitted aliens. See 5 U.S.C. 522a(5).
    Each system of records notice contains the following information:
    <bullet> The name of the system;
    <bullet> The location of the system;
    <bullet> The categories of individuals whose records are maintained 
in the system;
    <bullet> The types of records maintained in the system;
    <bullet> The authority for maintaining the system;
    <bullet> The routine uses of records maintained in the system, 
including the categories of users and the purposes of such uses;
    <bullet> The policies and practices for storing, retrieving, 
accessing, retaining, and disposing of records in the system;
    <bullet> The title and business address of the system manager, the 
agency official who is responsible for the system of records;
    <bullet> How to find out whether the system of records contains a 
record pertaining to the individual, how the individual may gain access 
to any record pertaining to the individual contained in the system of 
records, and how the individual can contest the content of the records; 
and
    <bullet> The categories of sources of records in the system.

Exempt Systems of Records

    The Commission has exempted four systems of records from certain 
requirements of the Privacy Act, as authorized under 5 U.S.C. 552a(k), 
because they contain investigatory material:
    <bullet> CFTC-1 Enforcement matter register and matter indices 
(exempted, to the extent it contains records that refer or relate to 
records covered under CFTC-10, Investigatory Records (exempted)).
    <bullet> CFTC-10 Investigatory materials compiled for law 
enforcement purposes.
    <bullet> CFTC-31 Information pertaining to individuals discussed at 
closed Commission meetings.
    <bullet> CFTC-32 Investigatory materials compiled by the Office of 
the Inspector General.

Locations of Systems of Records

    Each system of records notice tells the public where records are 
kept. Records may be kept at one or more Commission offices. The 
Commission offices are in the following locations:
    <bullet> Washington, DC: Three Lafayette Centre, 1155 21st Street, 
NW., Washington, DC 20581, Telephone: (202) 418-5000.
    <bullet> Chicago: 525 West Monroe Street, Suite 1100, Chicago, 
Illinois 60661, Telephone: (312) 596-0700.
    <bullet> Kansas City: Two Emanuel Cleaver II Blvd., Suite 300, 
Kansas City, Missouri 64112, Telephone: (816) 960-7700.
    <bullet> New York: 140 Broadway, 19th Floor, New York, New York 
10005, Telephone: (646) 746-9700.
    In the system of records notice, the Commission headquarters office 
in Washington, DC, is referred to as the ``principal office.'' The 
regional offices are referred to collectively as the ``regional 
offices.'' ``All Commission offices'' means the headquarters office and 
the regional offices.

General Statement of CFTC Routine Uses

    The following ``blanket routine uses'' of records, numbered ``1'' 
through ``19'' below, apply to every system of records maintained 
within the Commission. These blanket routine uses of the records are 
published below only once in the interest of simplicity, economy,

[[Page 5975]]

and to avoid redundancy. Additional routine uses that apply to a 
particular Commission system notice are listed in the applicable system 
notice. The release of records under all routine uses is permissive 
rather than mandatory. Each of the blanket routine uses is for a 
purpose which is compatible with the purpose for which the information 
was originally collected.
    The following routine uses apply to all CFTC systems of records:
    1. Information may be used by the Commission in any administrative 
proceeding before the Commission, in any injunctive action authorized 
under the Commodity Exchange Act or in any other action or proceeding 
in which the Commission or its staff participates as a party or the 
Commission participates as amicus curiae.
    2. Information may be disclosed to the Department of Justice, the 
Securities and Exchange Commission, the United States Postal Service, 
the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Agriculture, the Office 
of Personnel Management, and to other Federal, State, local, 
territorial or Tribal law enforcement or regulatory agencies for use in 
meeting their statutory and regulatory requirements.
    3. Information may be given to any ``registered entity,'' as 
defined in section 1a of the Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. 1, et 
seq. (``the Act''), if the Commission has reason to believe that such 
information will assist the registered entity in carrying out its 
responsibilities under the Act. Information may also be given to any 
registered futures association registered under section 17 of the Act 
(e.g., the National Futures Association) to assist it in carrying out 
its self-regulatory responsibilities under the Act, and to any national 
securities exchange or national securities association registered with 
the Securities and Exchange Commission to assist those organizations in 
carrying out their self-regulatory responsibilities under the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. 78a, et seq.
    4. At the discretion of the Commission staff, information may be 
given or shown to anyone during the course of a Commission 
investigation if the staff has reason to believe that the person to 
whom it is disclosed may have further information about the matters 
discussed therein, and those matters appear relevant to the subject of 
the investigation.
    5. Information may be included in a public report issued by the 
Commission following an investigation, to the extent that this is 
authorized under section 8 of the Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. 12. 
Section 8 authorizes publication of such reports but contains 
restrictions on the publication of certain types of sensitive business 
information developed during an investigation. In certain contexts, 
some of this information might be considered personal in nature.
    6. Information may be disclosed to a Federal agency in response to 
its request in connection with the hiring or retention of an employee, 
the issuance of a security clearance, the reporting of an investigation 
of an employee, the letting of a contract or the issuance of a license, 
or a grant or other benefit by the requesting agency, to the extent 
that the information may be relevant to the requesting agency's 
decision on the matter.
    7. Information may be disclosed to a prospective employer in 
response to its request in connection with the hiring or retention of 
an employee, to the extent that the information is believed to be 
relevant to the prospective employer's decision in the matter.
    8. Information may be disclosed to any person, pursuant to Section 
12(a) of the Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. 16(a), when disclosure 
will further the policies of that Act or of other provisions of law. 
Section 12(a) authorizes the Commission to cooperate with various other 
government authorities or with ``any person.''
    9. Where information, either alone or in conjunction with other 
information indicates a violation or potential violation of law--
criminal, civil, or regulatory in nature--the relevant information may 
be disclosed to the appropriate Federal, State, local, territorial, 
Tribal, or foreign law enforcement authority or other appropriate 
entity charged with the responsibility for investigating or prosecuting 
such violation or charged with enforcing or implementing such law.
    10. Information may be disclosed to the General Services 
Administration for the purpose of records management inspections 
conducted under the authority of 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906.
    11. Information may be disclosed to the National Archives and 
Records Administration for the purpose of records management 
inspections being conducted under the authority of 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 
2906.
    12. Information may be disclosed to foreign law enforcement, 
investigatory, or administrative authorities in order to comply with 
requirements set forth in international arrangements, such as memoranda 
of understanding.
    13. Information may be disclosed to contractors, grantees, 
volunteers, experts, students, and others performing or working on a 
contract, service, grant, cooperative agreement, or job for the Federal 
government when necessary to accomplish an agency function.
    14. Information may be disclosed to the Merit Systems Protection 
Board, including the Office of Special Counsel for the purpose of 
litigation, including administrative proceedings, appeals, special 
studies of the civil service and other merit systems.
    15. Information may be disclosed to the Department of Justice or in 
a proceeding before a court, adjudicative body, or other administrative 
body which the agency is authorized to appear, when:
    a. The agency, or any component thereof; or
    b. Any employee of the agency in his or her official capacity; or
    c. Any employee of the agency in his or her official capacity where 
the Department of Justice or the agency has agreed to represent the 
employee; or
    d. The United States, when the agency determines that litigation is 
likely to affect the agency or any of its components;

Is a party to litigation or has an interest in such litigation, and the 
use of such records by the Department of Justice or the agency is 
deemed by the agency to be relevant and necessary to the litigation 
provided, however, that in each case it has been determined that the 
disclosure is compatible with the purpose for which the records were 
collected.
    16. Information may be disclosed to a Member of Congress or staff 
acting upon the Member's behalf when the Member or staff requests the 
information on behalf of, or at the request of, the individual who is 
the subject of the record.
    17. Information related to any traders or the amount or quantity of 
any commodity purchased or sold by such traders may be disclosed to any 
committee of either House of Congress upon its request, acting within 
the scope of its jurisdiction, pursuant to the Commodity Exchange Act, 
7 U.S.C. 1 et seq., including Section 8(e) of such Act at 7 U.S.C. 12, 
and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
    18. Information may be disclosed to another Federal agency, to a 
court, or a party in litigation before a court or in an administrative 
proceeding being conducted by a Federal agency, when the Government is 
a party to the judicial or administrative proceeding.
    19. Information may be disclosed to appropriate agencies, entities, 
and individuals when:

[[Page 5976]]

    a. The Commission suspects or has confirmed that the security or 
confidentiality of information in the system of records has been 
compromised;
    b. The Commission has determined that as a result of the suspected 
or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to economic or property 
interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the security or 
integrity of this system or other systems or programs (whether 
maintained by the Commission or another agency or entity) that rely 
upon the compromised information; and
    c. The disclosure made to such agencies, entities, and individuals 
is reasonably necessary to assist in connection with the Commission's 
efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and 
prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm.
