Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 185 / Monday, September 25, 2006 / Notices 55787 

Background 

EPA participates with other Federal 

agencies, state and tribes in the 

Mississippi River/Gulf of Mexico 

Watershed Nutrient Task Force. In 2001, 

the Task Force released the Action Plan 

for Reducing, Mitigating and Controlling 

Hypoxia in the Northern Gulf of Mexico 

(or Action Plan available at http:// 

www.epa.gov/msbasin/taskforce/ 

actionplan.htm). The Action Plan was 

informed by the science described in An 

Integrated Assessment of Hypoxia in the 

Northern Gulf of Mexico (or Integrated 

Assessment (available at http:// 

www.noaa.gov/products/ 

hypox_finalfront.pdf) developed by the 

National Science and Technology 

Council, Committee on Environment 

and Natural Resources. Six technical 

reports provided the scientific 

foundation for the Integrated 

Assessment and are available at http.// 

www.nos.noaa.gov/products/ 

pub_hypox.html. The aforementioned 

documents provide a comprehensive 

summary of the state-of-the-science for 

the Gulf of Mexico hypoxic zone to 

about the year 2000. 

EPA’s Office of Water has requested 

that the SAB develop a report that 

evaluates the state-of-the-science 

regarding the causes and extent of 

hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico, as well 

as the scientific basis of possible 

management options in the Mississippi 

River Basin. The SAB is asked to focus 

on scientific advances since 2000 that 

may have increased scientific 

understanding and control options in 

three general areas. 

1. Characterization the Cause(s) of 

Hypoxia. The physical, biological and 

chemical processes that affect the 

development, persistence and extent of 

hypoxia in the northern Gulf of Mexico. 

2. Characterization of Nutrient Fate, 

Transport and Sources. Nutrient 

loadings, fate, transport and sources in 

the Mississippi River that impact Gulf 

hypoxia. 

3. Scientific Basis for Goals and 

Management Options. The scientific 

basis for, and recommended revisions 

to, the goals proposed in the Action 

Plan; and the scientific basis for the 

efficacy of recommended management 

actions to reduce nutrient flux from 

point and nonpoint sources. 

In response to EPA’s request, the SAB 

Staff Office has formed the SAB 

Hypoxia Advisory Panel. Background 

on the Panel formation process was 

provided in a Federal Register notice 

published on February 17, 2006 (71 FR 

8578–8580). Background for the first 

meeting of the SAB Hypoxia Advisory 

Panel was announced in a Federal 

Register notice published on August 9, 

2006 (71 FR 45543–45544). At its first 

meeting on September 6–7, 2006 the 

Panel organized itself into three 

subgroups corresponding to the three 

general areas described above. General

BILLING CODE 6560–50–P 

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

Privacy Act System of Records 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission (FCC or Commission). 

ACTION: Notice; two altered Privacy Act 

systems of records; addition and/or 

modification of routine uses. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to subsection (e)(4) 

of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended 

(5 U.S.C. 552a), the FCC proposes to 

change the name and alter two system 

of records, FCC/OMD–16, ‘‘Personal 

Security Files’’ (formerly ‘‘Personnel 

Investigation Records’’) and FCC/OMD–

24, ‘‘Physical Access Control System 

(PACS)’’ (formerly ‘‘Access Control 

System’’). The two altered systems of 

records incorporate changes pursuant to 

the FCC’s compliance with the 

Homeland Security Presidential 

Directive 12 (HSPD–12). The FCC will 

alter what information is maintained; 

the authority under which the systems 

of records are maintained; the purposes 

for which the information is 

maintained; add or modify the routine 

uses; revise the policies and practices 

for how the information is stored, 

safeguarded, retained, and disposed of; 

and will make other edits and revisions 

as necessary to comply with HSPD–12 

implementation requirements and 

associated guidance provided in OMB 

Memorandum M–06–06 (February 17, 

2006). 

DATES: In accordance with subsections 

(e)(4) and (e)(11) of the Privacy Act of 

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

interested person may submit written 

comments concerning the alteration of 

these two systems of records on or 

before October 25, 2006. Pursuant to 

Appendix I, 4(e) of OMB Circular A–

130, the FCC is asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB), which 

has oversight responsibility under the 

Privacy Act, to grant a waiver of the 40 

day review period by OMB, the House 

of Representatives, and the Senate for 

this system of records. The FCC is 

requesting this waiver to comply with 

the deadline for implementation of the 


rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
55788 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 185 / Monday, September 25, 2006 / Notices 

HSPD–12 requirements. The two 

proposed altered systems shall be 

effective on October 25, 2006 unless the 

FCC receives comments that require a 

contrary determination. The 

Commission will publish a document in 

the Federal Register notifying the 

public if any changes are necessary. As 

required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) of the 

Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, the 

FCC is submitting reports on these 

proposed altered systems to OMB and to 

both Houses of Congress.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As 

required by the Privacy Act of 1974, as 

amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) and 

(e)(11), this document sets forth notice 

of the proposed alteration of two 

systems of records maintained by the 

FCC; and addition and/or modification 

of the routine uses. The FCC previously 

gave complete notice of the system of 

records covered under this Notice by 

publication in the Federal Register on 

April 5, 2006 (71 FR 17234) for FCC/ 

OMD–16, ‘‘Personal Security Files,’’ and 

on October 23, 2000, (65 FR 63468) for 

FCC/OMD–24, ‘‘Physical Access Control 

System (PACS).’’ This notice is a 

summary of the more detailed 

information about the two proposed 

altered systems of records, which may 

be viewed at the location given above in 

the ADDRESSES section. The purposes for 

altering FCC/OMD–16, ‘‘Personnel 

Security Files’’ and FCC/OMD–24, 

‘‘Physical Access Control System 

(PACS),’’ are to change the name of each 

system of records; to change the 

information that is being maintained; to 

change the statutory authority under 

which information is maintained; to add 

or modify the routine uses; to change 

the policies and practices for storage, 

retrieval, retention, access, and disposal 

of information; and otherwise to alter, 

update, and revise the two systems of 

records, as necessary, to comply with 

the requirements for implementation of 

HSPD–12 and to adhere to the guidance 

provided in OMB Memorandum M–06–

06 (February 17, 2006). 

The FCC proposes to achieve these 

purposes by altering each system of 

records with these changes: FCC/OMD–

16, ‘‘Personnel Security Files’’ (formerly 

‘‘Personnel Investigation Records’’) with 

these changes: 

Changes in the information that is 

being maintained; changes in the 

authority under which the information 

is collected and maintained; changes to 

the purposes for maintaining the 

information; and changes to the policies 

for storing, retrieving, accessing, 

retaining, adding and/or modifying the 

routine uses; disposing of records in the 

two systems of records to make them 

compliant with the requirements of 

HSPD–12. All these changes are done to 

adhere to the guidelines contained in 

OMB Memorandum M–06–06 (February 

17, 2006). 

The proposed routine uses for FCC/ 

OMD–16, Personnel Security Files, are: 

1. Litigation by the Department of 

Justice—when (a) the FCC or any 

component thereof; or (b) any employee 

of the FCC in his or her official capacity; 

(c) any employee of the FCC in his or 

her individual capacity where the 

Department of Justice (DOJ) has agreed 

to represent the employee; or (d) the 

United States Government, is a party to 

litigation or has an interest in such 

litigation, and by careful review, the 

FCC determines that the records are 

both relevant and necessary to the 

litigation and the use of such records by 

the DOJ is therefore deemed by the FCC 

to be for a purpose compatible with the 

purpose for which the FCC collected the 

records. 

2. A Court or Adjudicative Body—in 

a proceeding when: (a) The FCC or any 

component thereof; (b) any employee of 

the FCC in his or her official capacity; 

(c) any employee of the FCC in his or 

her individual capacity where the 

Department of Justice (DOJ) has agreed 

to represent the employee; or (d) the 

United States Government, is a party to 

litigation or has an interest in such 

litigation, and by careful review, the 

FCC determines that the records are 

both relevant and necessary to the 

litigation and the use of such records is 

therefore deemed by the FCC to be for 

a purpose that is compatible with the 

purpose for which the FCC collected the 

records; 

3. Law Enforcement and 

Investigation—except as noted on Forms 

SF 85, 85–P, and 86, when a record on 

its face, or in conjunction with other 

records, indicates a violation or 

potential violation of a law, whether 

civil, criminal, or regulatory in nature, 

and whether arising by general statute 

or particular program statute, or by 

regulation, rule, or order issued 

pursuant thereto, disclosure may be 

made to the appropriate public 

authority, whether Federal, foreign, 

State, local, or tribal, otherwise, 

responsible for enforcing, investigating, 

or prosecuting such violation or charged 

with enforcing or implementing the 

statute, or rule, regulation, or order 

issued pursuant thereto, if the 

information disclosed is relevant to any 

enforcement, regulatory, investigative, 

or prosecutorial responsibility of the 

receiving entity. 

4. Congressional Inquiries—when 

requested by a Congressional office in 

response to an inquiry by an individual 

made to the Congressional office for 

their own records; 

5. Government-wide Program 

Management and Oversight—when 

requested by the National Archives and 

Records Administration or the General 

Services Administration for the purpose 

of records management inspections 

conducted under authority of 44 U.S.C. 

2904 and 2906; when the U.S. 

Department of Justice is contacted in 

order to obtain that department’s advice 

regarding disclosure obligations under 

the Freedom of Information Act; or 

when the Office of Management and 

Budget is contacted in order to obtain 

that office’s advice regarding obligations 

under the Privacy Act, or when 

necessary to the review of private relief 

legislation pursuant to OMB Circular A–

19; 

6. Contract Services, Grants, or 

Cooperative Agreements—a record may 

be disclosed to FCC contractors, 

grantees, or volunteers who have been 

engaged to assist the FCC in the 

performance of a contract service, grant, 

cooperative agreement, or other activity 

related to this system of records and 

who need to have access to the records 

in order to perform their activity. 

Recipients shall be required to comply 

with the requirements of the Privacy Act 

of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a. 

7. Employment, Clearances, 

Licensing, Contract, Grant, or other 

Benefits Decisions by the agency—

disclosure may be made to a Federal, 

State, or local government maintaining 

civil, criminal, or other relevant 

enforcement records, or other pertinent 

records, or to another public authority 

or professional organization, if

necessary to obtain information relevant 

to an investigation concerning the 

retention of an employee or other 

personnel action (other than hiring), the 

retention of a security clearance, the 

letting of a contract, or the issuance or 

retention of a grant or other benefit. The 

other agency or licensing organization 

may then make a request supported by 

the written consent of the individual for 

the entire record if it so chooses. No 

disclosure will be made unless the 

information has been determined to be 

sufficiently reliable to support a referral 

to another office within the FCC or to 

another Federal agency for criminal, 

civil, administrative personnel, or 

regulatory action; 

8. Employment, Clearances, 

Licensing, Contract, Grant, or other 

Benefits Decisions by other than the 

agency—disclosure may be made to a 

Federal, State, local, or tribal 

government or other public authority of 

the fact that this system of records 

contains information relevant to the 

retention of an employee, the retention 

of a security clearance, the letting of a 

contract, or the issuance or retention of 

a license, grant, or other benefit. The 

other agency or licensing organization 

may then make a request supported by 

the written consent of the individual for 

the entire record if it so chooses. No 

disclosure will be made unless the 

information has been determined to be 

sufficiently reliable to support a referral 

to another office within the FCC or to 

another Federal agency for criminal, 

civil, administrative personnel, or 

regulatory action 

9. Labor Relations—disclosure may be 

made to officials of labor organizations 

recognized under 5 U.S.C. Chapter 71 

upon receipt of a formal request and in 

accord with the conditions of 5 U.S.C. 

7114 when relevant and necessary to 

their duties of exclusive representation 

concerning personnel policies, 

practices, and matters affecting working 

conditions. 

10. National Security and Intelligence 

Matters—disclosure of these records 

may be disclosed to Federal, State, local 

agencies, or other appropriate entities or 

individuals, or through established 

liaison channels to selected foreign 

government in order to enable an 

intelligence agency to carry out its 

responsibilities under the National 

Security Act of 1947, as amended, the 

CIA Act of 1949, as amended, Executive 

Order 12333 or any successor order, 

applicable to national security 

directives, or classified implementing 

procedures approved by the Attorney 

General and promulgated pursuant to 

such statutes, orders, or directives. 

The FCC will use the records in FCC/ 

OMD–16, ‘‘Personal Security Files,’’ to 

conduct background investigations to 

determine compliance with Federal 

regulations and/or to make a 

determination about an individual’s 

suitability, eligibility, and fitness for 

Federal employment or contractual 

services, access to classified materials 

and/or restricted areas, to evaluate the 

appropriate security clearance(s), and to 

take action on or to respond to a 

complaint about a threat, harassment, 

intimidation, violence, or other 

inappropriate behavior involving FCC 

employees, interns, volunteers, and 

contractors. 

The proposed routine uses for FCC/ 

OMD–24, Physical Access Control

United States Government, is a party to 

litigation or has an interest in such 

litigation, and by careful review, the 

FCC determines that the records are 

both relevant and necessary to the 

litigation and the use of such records by 

the DOJ is therefore deemed by the FCC 

to be for a purpose compatible with the 

purpose for which the FCC collected the 

records. 

2. A Court or Adjudicative Body—in 

a proceeding when: (a) The FCC or any 

component thereof; (b) any employee of 

the FCC in his or her official capacity;

United States Government, is a party to 

litigation or has an interest in such 

litigation, and by careful review, the 

FCC determines that the records are 

both relevant and necessary to the 

litigation and the use of such records is 

therefore deemed by the FCC to be for 

a purpose that is compatible with the 

purpose for which the FCC collected the 

records; 

3. Law Enforcement and 

Investigation—except as noted on Forms 

SF 85, 85–P, and 86, when a record on 

its face, or in conjunction with other 

records, indicates a violation or 

potential violation of a law, whether 

civil, criminal, or regulatory in nature, 

and whether arising by general statute 

or particular program statute, or by 

regulation, rule, or order issued 

pursuant thereto, disclosure may be 

made to the appropriate public 

authority, whether Federal, foreign, 

State, local, or tribal, otherwise, 

responsible for enforcing, investigating, 

or prosecuting such violation or charged 

with enforcing or implementing the 

statute, or rule, regulation, or order 

issued pursuant thereto, if the 

information disclosed is relevant to any 

enforcement, regulatory, investigative,

to another office within the FCC or to 

another Federal agency for criminal, 

civil, administrative personnel, or 

regulatory action; 

8. Employment, Clearances, 

Licensing, Contract, Grant, or other 

Benefits Decisions by other than the

sufficiently reliable to support a referral 

to another office within the FCC or to 

another Federal agency for criminal, 

civil, administrative personnel, or 

regulatory action. 

9. Labor Relations—disclosure may be

conditions. 

10. National Security and Intelligence 

Matters—disclosure of these records 

may be disclosed to Federal, State, local 

agencies, or other appropriate entities or 

individuals, or through established 

liaison channels to selected foreign 

government in order to enable an 

intelligence agency to carry out its 

responsibilities under the National 

Security Act of 1947, as amended, the 

CIA Act of 1949, as amended, Executive 

Order 12333 or any successor order, 

applicable to national security 

directives, or classified implementing 

procedures approved by the Attorney

for which the records were collected. 

DISCLOSURE TO CONSUMER REPORTING

AGENCIES: 

None. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, 

RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND

DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

STORAGE: 

Information is stored on paper 

records, which are stored in file folders 

in security containers, and in electronic 

records that are maintained in a standalone computer database. 

RETRIEVABILITY: 

Records are retrieved by an 

individual’s name or Social Security 

Number (SSN). 

SAFEGUARDS: 

Comprehensive paper records are 

maintained in file folders and stored in 

approved security containers, which are 

locked and located within a secure, 

access-controlled area. Access is limited 

to approved security office and 

administrative personnel who have a 

need for them in the performance of 

their official duties, e.g., who have 

responsibility for suitability 

determinations. Paper records limited 

(in number and scope) are kept in the 

FCC’s regional offices and laboratory 

facilities in locked metal file cabinets in 

locked rooms. 

Comprehensive electronic records are 

maintained in networked computer 

database(s). The computer database is 

secured through controlled access and 

passwords restricted to Federal 

employee and contractor security and 

administrative personnel on a ‘‘need to 

know’’ basis, e.g., who have a need for 

them in the performance of their official 

duties, e.g., who have responsibility for 

suitability determinations. Access to the 

records is restricted to those with a 

specific role in the Personal 

Identification Verification (PIV) process 

that requires access to background 

investigation forms to perform their 

duties, and who have been given a 

password to access that part of the 

system including background 

investigation records. The FCC Security 

Office staff maintains an audit trail. 

Individuals given roles in the PIV 

process must complete training specific 

to their roles to ensure that they are 

knowledgeable about how to protect 

individually identifiable information. 

The databases are backed-up on a daily 

basis to floppy disk(s), which are then 

stored in a secured area. 

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: 

These records are retained and 

disposed of in accordance with General 

Records Schedule 18, item 22a, 

approved by the National Archives and 

Records Administration (NARA). Both 

paper and electronic records are 

retained during employment or while an 

individual is actively involved in 

Federal programs. As appropriate, 

records are returned to investigating 

agencies after employment terminates; 

otherwise, the records are destroyed 

upon notification of death or not later 

than five years after the employee’s 

retirement or separation from the FCC, 

or the employee’s transfer to another 

Federal agency or department, 

whichever is applicable. 

In accordance with NARA guidelines, 

the FCC destroys paper records are by 

shredding; and electronic records are 

destroyed by electronic erasure. 

Individuals interested in further 

information about retention and 

disposal may request a copy of the 

disposition instructions from the FCC 

Privacy Act Officer.

retention of a security clearance, the 

letting of a contract, or the issuance or 

retention of a grant or other benefit; 

8. Employment, Clearances, 

Licensing, Contract, Grant, or other 

Benefits Decisions by other than the 

agency—disclosure may be made to a 

Federal, State, local, or tribal 

government, or other public authority of 

the fact that this system of records 

contains information relevant to the 

retention of an employee, the retention 

of a security clearance, the letting of a 

contract, or the issuance or retention of 

a license, grant, or other benefit. The 

other agency or licensing organization 

may then make a request supported by 

the written consent of the individual for 

the entire records if it so chooses. No 

disclosure will be made unless the 

information has been determined to be 

sufficiently reliable to support a referral 

to another office within the agency or to 

another Federal agency for criminal, 

civil, administrative, personnel or 

regulatory action; 

9. Labor Relations—A record from 

this system may be disclosed to officials 

of labor organizations recognized under 

5 U.S.C. Chapter 71 upon receipt of a 

formal request and in accord with the 

conditions of 5 U.S.C. 7114 when 

relevant and necessary to their duties of 

exclusive representation concerning 

personnel policies, practices, and 

matters affecting working conditions; 

10. National Security and Intelligence 

Matters—disclosure of these records 

may be disclosed to Federal, State, local 

agencies, or other appropriate entities or 

individuals, or through established 

liaison channels to selected foreign 

government in order to enable an 

intelligence agency to carry out its 

responsibilities under the National 

Security Act of 1947, as amended, the 

CIA Act of 1949, as amended, Executive 

Order 12333 or any successor order, 

applicable to national security 

directives, or classified implementing 

procedures approved by the Attorney 

General and promulgated pursuant to 

such statutes, orders, or directives; and 

11. Invalid PIV Card Notification—

disclosure may be made to notify 

another Federal agency, when, or to 

verify whether, a PIV card is no longer 

valid. 

In each of these cases, the FCC will 

determine whether disclosure of the 

records is compatible with the purpose 

for which the records were collected. 

Note: Disclosures to the FCC of data 

pertaining to date and time of entry and exit 

of a Commission employee working in the 

District of Columbia may not be made to 

supervisors, managers, or any other 

individuals (other than the individual to 

whom the information applies) to verify the 

employee’s time and attendance record for 

personnel actions because 5 U.S.C. 6106 

prohibits Federal Executive Agencies (other 

than the Bureau of Engraving and Printing) 

from using a recording clock within the 

District of Columbia, unless the clock is used 

as part of a flexible schedule program under 

5 U.S.C. 6120 et seq.

controlled electronic media, e.g., 

computer database(s), and in securely 

controlled paper files. 

RETRIEVABILITY: 

The information can be retrieved by: 

(1) The name of the individual; (2) 

Social Security Number (SSN); (3) other 

ID number, e.g., FCC employee, 

contractor, or frequent visitor badge 

number; or (4) PIV card serial number. 

SAFEGUARDS: 

Paper records are kept in locked 

cabinets in secure facilities and access 

to them is restricted to individuals, e.g., 

FCC Security Operations Center staff, 

whose role requires use of the 

information. The computer servers in 

which the information is stored are 

located in FCC facilities that are secured 

by limited access card readers. The 

computer servers themselves are 

password-protected. Access by 

individuals working at guard stations is 

password-protected; each person 

granted access to the system at guard 

stations must be individually authorized 

to use the system. A Privacy Act 

Warning Notice appears on the monitor 

screen when records containing 

information on individuals are first 

displayed. The FCC Security Operations 

Center staff performs a backup operation 

on these files on a regular basis using a 

secure medium. The backup data are 

stored in a locked and controlled room 

in a secure location. 

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: 

Records relating to individuals with 

FCC access cards, covered by this 

system, are retained in accordance with 

General Records Schedule 18, Item 17 

approved by the National Archives and 

Records Administration (NARA). The 

records disposal is done in accordance 

with the Commission’s disposal 

policies. Unless retained for specific, 

on-going security investigations, records 

of facility access are maintained for one 

year and then destroyed. 

All other records relating to 

individuals are retained and disposed of 

in accordance with General Records 

Schedule 18, item 22a, approved by 

NARA. The records are disposed of in 

accordance with FCC Security 

Operations Center disposal policies, as 

follows: 

1. When an employee/contractor/ 

temporary hire/special parking access 

leaves the FCC, the file in the database 

is deleted. 

2. Frequent visitor badges are given a 

two-year valid period, after which the 

card will automatically deactivate. 

3. All returned day contractor cards 

will be reused on a daily basis. 

4. Transaction data for all cards will 

be stored using a secure medium and 

retained for one year in the FCC 

Security Operations Center, which is 

locked and secured with an alarm 

system. Otherwise, access records are 

destroyed upon notification of death, or 

not later than one year after the 

employee’s retirement or separation 

from the FCC, or the employee’s transfer 

to another Federal agency, whichever is 

applicable. 

In accordance with HSPD–12, PIV 

Cards are deactivated within eighteen 

(18) hours of notification of cardholder 

separation, loss of card, or expiration. 

The information on PIV Cards is 

maintained in accordance with General 

Records Schedule 11, Item 4. PIV Cards 

are destroyed by burning in an approved 

Federal burn-facility.
