Counsel, 600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, 

Washington, DC 20580, 202–326–2447,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the Privacy Act of 

1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, this document 

provides public notice that the FTC is 

proposing to adopt a new ‘‘routine use’’

that will apply to all FTC records 

systems covered by the Privacy Act of 

1974. The Act applies to agency systems 

of records about individuals that the 

agency maintains and retrieves by name 

or other personal identifier, such as its 

personnel and payroll systems and 

certain other FTC records systems. A list 

of the agency’s current Privacy Act 

records systems can be viewed on the 

FTC’s Web site at: http://www.ftc.gov/ 

foia/listofpasystems.htm. The new 

routine use would be added to 

Appendix 1, which describes routine 

uses that apply globally to all FTC 

Privacy Act records systems. See 57 FR 

45678 (1992), http://www.ftc.gov/foia/ 

sysnot/appendix1.pdf. 

This new routine use is needed in 

order to allow for disclosure of records 

to appropriate persons and entities for 

purposes of response and remedial 

efforts in the event of a breach of data 

contained in the protected systems. This 

routine use will facilitate an effective 

response to a confirmed or suspected 

breach by allowing for disclosure to 

individuals affected by the breach, in 

cases, if any, where such disclosure is 

not otherwise authorized under the Act. 

This routine use will also authorize 

disclosures to others who are in a 

position to assist in response efforts, 

either by assisting in notification to 

affected individuals or otherwise 

playing a role in preventing, 

minimizing, or remedying harms from 

the breach. 

The Privacy Act authorizes the agency 

to adopt routine uses that are consistent 

with the purpose for which information 

is collected and subject to that Act. 5 

U.S.C. 552a(b)(3); see also 5 U.S.C. 

552a(a)(7). The FTC believes that it is 

consistent with the collection of 

information pertaining to such 

individuals to disclose Privacy Act 

records when, in doing so, it will help 

prevent, minimize or remedy a data 

breach or compromise that may affect 

such individuals. By contrast, the FTC 

believes that failure to take reasonable 

steps to help prevent, minimize the 

harm that may result from such a breach 

or compromise would jeopardize, rather 

than promote, the privacy of such 

individuals. Accordingly, the 

Commission concludes that it is 

authorized under the Privacy Act to 

adopt a routine use permitting 

disclosure of Privacy Act records for 

such purposes. 

In accordance with the Privacy Act, 

see 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) and (11), the FTC 

is publishing notice of this routine use 

and giving the public a 30-day period to 

comment before adopting it as final. The 

FTC is also providing at least 40 days 

advance notice of this proposed system 

notice amendment to OMB and the 

Congress, as required by the Act, 5 

U.S.C. 552a(r), and OMB Circular A–

130, Revised, Appendix I. We note that 

the text of this routine use is taken from 

the routine use that has already been 

published in final form by the 

Department of Justice after public 

comment. See 72 FR 3410 (Jan. 25, 

2007). Similarly, after taking into 

account comments, if any, received by 

the FTC, the FTC intends to publish its 

proposed routine use as final after the 

period for OMB and Congressional 

review is complete, including whatever 

revisions may be deemed appropriate or 

necessary, if any. 

Accordingly, the FTC hereby proposes 

to amend Appendix 1 of its Privacy Act 

system notices, as published at 57 FR 

45678, by adding the following new 

routine use at the end of the existing 

routine uses set forth in that Appendix: 

* * * * * 

To appropriate agencies, entities, and 

persons when (1) the FTC suspects or 

has confirmed that the security or 

confidentiality of information in the 

system of records has been 

compromised; (2) the FTC 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 

FTC or another agency or entity) that 

rely upon the compromised 

information; and (3) the disclosure 

made to such agencies, entities, and 

persons is reasonably necessary to assist 

in connection with the FTC’s efforts to 

respond to the suspected or confirmed 

compromise and prevent, minimize, or 

remedy such harm. 

By direction of the Commission. 

Donald S. Clark, 

Secretary.
