BILLING CODE 6450–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: U.S. Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of a modified system of 

records. 

SUMMARY: As required by the Privacy 

Act of 1974 and the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

Circulars A–108 and A–130, the 

Department of Energy (DOE or the 

Department) is publishing notice of a 

modification to an existing Privacy Act 

System of Records. DOE proposes to 

amend System of Records DOE–66 

Power Sales to Individuals. This System 

of Records Notice (SORN) is being 

modified to align with new formatting 

requirements, published by the Office of 

Management and Budget, and to ensure 

appropriate Privacy Act coverage of 

business processes and Privacy Act 

information. While there are no 

substantive changes to the ‘‘Categories 

of Individuals’’ or ‘‘Categories of 

Records’’ sections covered by this 

SORN, substantive changes have been 

made to the ‘‘System Locations,’’ 

‘‘Routine Uses,’’ and ‘‘Administrative, 

Technical and Physical Safeguards’’ 

sections to provide greater transparency. 

Changes to ‘‘Routine Uses’’ include new 

provisions related to responding to 

breaches of information held under a 

Privacy Act SORN as required by OMB’s 

Memorandum M–17–12, ‘‘Preparing for 

and Responding to a Breach of 

Personally Identifiable Information’’ 

(January 3, 2017). Language throughout 

the SORN has been updated to align 

with applicable Federal privacy laws, 

policies, procedures, and best practices. 

DATES: This modified SORN will 

become applicable following the end of 

the public comment period on 

December 13, 2023 unless comments are 

received that result in a contrary 

determination. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments should 

be sent to the DOE Desk Officer, Office 

of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Office of Management and Budget, New 

Executive Office Building, Room 10102, 

735 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 

20503 and to Ken Hunt, Chief Privacy 

Officer, U.S. Department of Energy, 

1000 Independence Avenue SW, Rm. 

8H–085, Washington, DC 20585 or by 

facsimile at (202) 586–8151 or by email 

at privacy@hq.doe.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ken 

Hunt, Chief Privacy Officer, U.S. 

Department of Energy, 1000 

Independence Avenue SW, Rm. 8H– 

085, Washington, DC 20585 or by 

facsimile at (202) 586–8151 or by email 

at privacy@hq.doe.gov, telephone: (240) 

686–9485. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 9, 2009, DOE published a 

Compilation of its Privacy Act systems 

of records, which included system of 

records DOE–66 Power Sales to 

Individuals. This notice proposes 

amendments to the ‘‘System Locations’’ 

section of that system of records by 

removing the following system location 

where DOE–66 is no longer applicable: 

U.S. Department of Energy, Western 

Area Power Administration, Colorado 

River Storage Project, 257 E200S, Suite 

475, Salt Lake City, UT 84111. In the 

‘‘Routine Uses’’ section, this modified 

notice deletes a previous routine use 

concerning efforts responding to a 

suspected or confirmed loss of 

confidentiality of information as it 

appears in DOE’s compilation of its 

Privacy Act systems of records (January 

9, 2009) and replaces it with one to 

assist DOE with responding to a 

suspected or confirmed breach of its 

records of Personally Identifiable 

Information (PII), modeled with 

language from OMB’s Memorandum M– 

17–12, ‘‘Preparing for and Responding 

to a Breach of Personally Identifiable 

Information’’ (January 3, 2017). Further, 

this notice adds one new routine use to 

ensure that DOE may assist another 

agency or entity in responding to the 

other agency’s or entity’s confirmed or 

suspected breach of PII, as appropriate, 

as aligned with OMB’s Memorandum 

M–17–12. Additionally, the routine use 

formerly listed as number three has 

been removed, as it was determined to 

be duplicative. The routine use formerly 

covered by number three is currently 

covered by number three in the current 

version. An administrative change 

required by the FOIA Improvement Act 

of 2016 extends the length of time a 

requestor is permitted to file an appeal 

under the Privacy Act from 30 to 90 

days. Both the ‘‘System Locations’’ and 

‘‘Administrative, Technical and 

Physical Safeguards’’ sections have been 

modified to reflect the Department’s 

usage of cloud-based services for 

records storage. Language throughout 

the SORN has been updated to align 

with applicable Federal privacy laws, 

policies, procedures, and best practices. 

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER: 

DOE–66 Power Sales to Individuals. 

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: 

Unclassified. 

SYSTEM LOCATION: 

Systems leveraging this SORN may 

exist in multiple locations. All systems 

storing records in a cloud-based server 

are required to use governmentapproved cloud services and follow 

National Institute of Standards and 

Technology (NIST) security and privacy 

standards for access and data retention. 

Records maintained in a governmentapproved cloud server are accessed 

through secure data centers in the 

continental United States.

records is limited to lawful government 

purposes only, with access to electronic 

records based on role and either twofactor authentication or password 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
77574 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 217 / Monday, November 13, 2023 / Notices 

protection. The system requires 

passwords to be complex and to be 

changed frequently. Users accessing 

system records undergo frequent 

training in Privacy Act and information 

security requirements. Security and 

privacy controls are reviewed on an 

ongoing basis. 

• Technical: Computerized records 

systems are safeguarded on 

Departmental networks configured for 

role-based access based on job 

responsibilities and organizational 

affiliation. Privacy and security controls 

are in place for this system and are 

updated in accordance with applicable 

requirements as determined by NIST 

and DOE directives and guidance. 

• Physical: Computer servers on 

which electronic records are stored are 

located in secured Department facilities, 

which are protected by security guards, 

identification badges, and cameras. 

Paper copies of all records are locked in 

file cabinets, file rooms, or offices and 

are under the control of authorized 

personnel. Access to these facilities is 

granted only to authorized personnel 

and each person granted access to the 

system must be an individual 

authorized to use and/or administer the 

system. 

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES: 

The Department follows the 

procedures outlined in 10 CFR 1008.4. 

Valid identification of the individual 

making the request is required before 

information will be processed, given, 

access granted, or a correction 

considered, to ensure that information is 

given, corrected, or records disclosed or 

corrected only at the request of the 

proper person. 

CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES: 

Any individual may submit a request 

to the System Manager and request a 

copy of any records relating to them. In 

accordance with 10 CFR 1008.11, any 

individual may appeal the denial of a 

request made by him or her for 

information about or for access to or 

correction or amendment of records. An 

appeal shall be filed within 90 calendar 

days after receipt of the denial. When an 

appeal is filed by mail, the postmark is 

conclusive as to timeliness. The appeal 

shall be in writing and must be signed 

by the individual. The words 

‘‘PRIVACY ACT APPEAL’’ should 

appear in capital letters on the envelope 

and the letter. Appeals of denials

Director, Office of Hearings and Appeals 

(OHA), 1000 Independence Ave. SW, 

Washington, DC 20585. 

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES: 

In accordance with the DOE 

regulation implementing the Privacy 

Act, 10 CFR part 1008, a request by an 

individual to determine if a System of 

Records contains information about 

themselves should be directed to the
