## I. General Information 

                    This action amends the existing system of records notice for the EPA Identification Card system of records. Details regarding the system of records are contained in this                     **Federal Register**                     Notice. The EPA Identification Card system is the basis for issuing official U.S. Government identification cards to EPA employees and certain non-EPA employees who require access to EPA-controlled facilities; maintaining a record of all holders of identification cards, for renewal and recovery of expired cards; managing and confirming requests for and access to EPA-controlled facilities; and identifying lost and stolen identification cards. These actions effect no changes in the privacy protections of the affected category of records. Access to the system is restricted to authorized users and will be maintained in a secure, password protected computer system, in secure areas and buildings with physical access controls and environmental controls. The system is maintained by the Office of Administration and Resources Management.
