SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Export Enhancement Program 

(EEP) was enacted through the Food, 

Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade 

Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101–624). Under 

the EEP, CCC made available bonuses to 

enable U.S. exporters to meet prevailing 

world prices for targeted commodities 

in targeted destinations. The last year of 

operation of the EEP was 2001; since 

that time, U.S. agricultural products 

have been competitive in world markets 

and EEP bonuses have not been needed 

to facilitate sales. 

The Dairy Export Incentive Program 

(DEIP) was enacted through the Food 

Security Act of 1985 (Pub. L. 99–198). 

Under the DEIP, CCC made available 

bonuses to enable U.S. exporters to meet 

prevailing world prices for certain dairy 

products in targeted destinations. The 

last year of operation of the DEIP was 

2010; since that time, bonuses have not 

been needed to facilitate sales. 

The primary objective of the EEP and 

DEIP was to encourage the commercial 

sale of United States agricultural 

commodities in world markets at 

competitive prices. Both programs were 

subject to annual commodity-specific 

quantity and budgetary ceilings agreed 

to by the United States in the World 

Trade Organization. Congress repealed 

the authority for the EEP in Section 

3103 of the Food, Conservation, and 

Energy Act of 2008, and subsequently 

repealed the authority for the DEIP in 

Section 1423 of the Agricultural Act of 

2014. 

List of Subjects in 7 CFR Part 1494 

Agricultural commodities, Exports, 

Dairy products. 

Accordingly, under the authority of 

Sec. 3103, Public Law 110–246, and 

Sec. 1423, Public Law 113–79, and as 

discussed in the preamble, CCC amends 

7 CFR chapter XIV by removing and 

reserving part 1494.

Privacy Act; STATE–78, Risk Analysis 

and Management Records 

AGENCY: Department of State. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Department of State is 

issuing a final rule to amend its Privacy 

Act regulation exempting portions of a 

system of records from certain 

provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974. 

Certain portions of the Risk Analysis 

and Management (RAM) Records, State– 

78, system of records contain criminal 

investigation records, investigatory 

material for law enforcement purposes, 

confidential source information and are 

proposed to be exempted under the 

Privacy Act. 

DATES: This final rule is effective 

January 14, 2015 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John 

Hackett, Acting Director; Office of 

Information Programs and Services, 

A/GIS/IPS; Department of State, SA–2; 

515 22nd Street NW., Washington, DC 

20522–8001, or at Privacy@state.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

system, Risk Analysis and Management 

(RAM) Records, designated as State–78, 

supports the vetting of directors, 

officers, or other employees of 

organizations who apply for Department 

of State contracts, grants, cooperative 

agreements, or other funding. The 

information collected from these 

organizations and individuals is 

specifically used to conduct screening 

to ensure that Department funds are not 

used to provide support to entities or 

individuals deemed to be a risk to U.S. 

national security interests. The records 

may contain criminal investigation 

records, investigatory material for law 

enforcement purposes, and confidential 

source information. (The information 

collection was approved under OMB 

Control Number 1405–0204, expiration 

April 30, 2015.) 

The Department of State is issuing 

this document to amend 22 CFR part 

171 to exempt portions of the Risk 

Analysis and Management Records 

system of records from the Privacy Act 

except sections (b), (c)(1) and (2), 

(e)(4)(A) through (F), (e)(6), (7), (9), (10), 

and (11), and (i), to the extent to which 

they meet the criteria of section (j)(2); 

and from subsections (c)(3);(d); (e)(1); 

(e)(4)(G), (H), and (I); and (f) of the 

Privacy Act pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a 

(k)(1), (k)(2), and (k)(5). Consistent with 

the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a(k)), 22 

CFR 171.36(b)(1), (2), and (5) provide 

concise general statements on the 

reasoning behind taking exemptions 

(k)(1), (k)(2), and (k)(5), respectively, for 

the Department systems for which those 

exemptions are taken. For ease of 

reference, these statements of reasoning 

are restated here: STATE–78 is 

exempted under (k)(1) in order to 

protect material required to be kept
