BILLING CODE 4310–W7–P 

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Bureau of Indian Affairs 

Privacy Act of 1974, as Amended; 

Amendment of an Existing System of 

Records 

AGENCY: Bureau of Indian Affairs, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Proposed amendment of an 

existing system of records. 

SUMMARY: Under the Privacy Act of 

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

Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is issuing 

public notice of our intent to change an 

existing Privacy Act system of records 

notices entitled Interior BIA–04 ‘‘Indian 

Land Records,’’ published at 48 FR 

41098 (September 13, 1983). BIA 

proposes to: (1) Update the information 

on the location of the records and the 

technology used to store and retrieve 

records; (2) identify new information 

that will be included in the system of 

records; (3) clearly state the current 

routine uses of the records by 

organizations and individuals outside of 

the Department of the Interior (DOI); 

and (4) expand the routine uses of such 

information to include the disclosure of 

names and mailing addresses of owners 

of trust and restricted lands, among 

other information, to certain statutorily 

defined categories of persons. 

BIA is accomplishing these changes in 

part by updating its system of records 

through conversion to a new 

application, Trust Asset and Accounting 

Management System (TAAMS), which 

has or will replace several BIA legacy 

systems such as the Land Records 

Information System (LRIS) and 

Integrated Records Management System 

(IRMS). 

DATES: The proposed new system of 

records will become effective without 

further notice on April 9, 2007, unless 

comments received result in a contrary 

determination. Under 5 U.S.C. 

552a(e)(11), the public is provided a 30- 

day period in which to comment on the 

agency’s intended use of the 

information in the system of records. 

The Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB), in its Circular A–130, requires 

an additional 10-day period in which 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC62 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 38 / Tuesday, February 27, 2007 / Notices 8773 

the OMB may comment (for a total of 40 

days in which to make these comments). 

BIA will publish a notice if changes are 

made based on review of comments 

received. 

ADDRESSES: Any persons interested in 

commenting on this proposed 

amendment may do so by submitting 

comments in writing to the Deputy 

Director, Office of Trust Services, 

Bureau of Indian Affairs, 1849 C Street, 

NW., MS 4513–MIB, Washington DC 

20240, or fax to (202) 208–2549. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

information regarding ‘‘Indian Land 

Records, BIA–04’’ contact Arch Wells, 

Deputy Director, Office of Trust 

Services, Bureau of Indian Affairs, 1849 

C Street, NW., MS 4513—MIB, 

Washington DC 20240 at (202) 208–

5831. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice is published pursuant to the 

Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4)) 

and is in exercise of authority delegated 

by the Secretary of the Interior to the 

Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary—

Indian Affairs in 209 DM 8.1. This 

notice amends the Privacy Act System 

of Records entitled BIA–04: Indian Land 

Records. The purpose of the amendment 

is to reflect the modernization of the 

title and trust systems with the 

development of a new electronic system 

for managing Indian assets and land 

records. TAAMS will replace several 

legacy systems that were used to 

manage Indian trust assets: LRIS, which 

supports the land title function by 

providing land title-related information, 

such as ownership and encumbrances; 

and IRMS, which supports the land 

resource management function and 

contains information on Indians, leases 

(e.g., pasture, range, timber, mineral, 

and mining leases), land ownership, oil 

and gas royalties, and trust fund 

accounts. TAAMS integrates the two 

legacy systems to reduce duplication of 

information and support all land title 

and resource management functions. 

TAAMS provides up-to-date legal and 

beneficial title ownership and 

encumbrance information for all Indian 

lands and resources, including 

automated calculation of fractional 

interests and automated chain-of-title 

processes and information. TAAMS 

users will be allowed to access, create, 

and modify records in the BIA database 

for land ownership, contracts and 

leases, and beneficial owners. Until full 

implementation of TAAMS, IRMS and 

the Royalty Distribution and Reporting 

System (RDRS) will be the official 

automated systems for income 

allocations. TAAMS, IRMS, and RDRS 

will include: 

(a) A legal land description, chain-oftitle history, current ownership, 

including title and beneficial 

ownership, and resource management 

classification for all land held in trust or 

restricted status by the Federal 

Government for the benefit of Indian 

tribes and individual Indians; 

(b) Any encumbrances against the title 

to land; 

(c) The name, address, BIA 

identification number (assigned by BIA 

in TAAMS), and Social Security 

Number (Federal Identification number) 

of each Indian land owner; 

(d) The name, address, and Social 

Security Number of each person who 

has a permit, lease, contract, right-ofway or other legal instrument approved 

by the Secretary of the Interior that 

allows such person to use the trust or 

restricted land or to extract renewable or 

nonrenewable resources from such land; 

(e) The name, address, and Federal 

taxpayer identification number of any 

company that has a permit, lease, 

contract, right-of-way or other legal 

instrument approved by the Secretary of 

the Interior that allows such company to 

use the trust or restricted land or to 

extract renewable or nonrenewable 

resources from such land; 

(f) The term of the permit, lease, 

contract, right-of-way or other legal 

instrument; and 

(g) The trust income collected and 

distributed for such permit, lease, 

contract, right-of-way or other legal 

instrument. 

In addition to expanding the 

information maintained in the system of 

records, changes to existing routine uses 

are made to better clarify instances 

when the release of information may be 

made to legal and law enforcement 

entities. Additionally, changes to 

existing routine uses authorize the 

release of names and mailing addresses 

of individuals owning an interest in 

trust or restricted land, information on 

the location of the parcel, and the 

percentage of undivided interest owned 

by each individual, upon written 

request, to the following statutorily 

defined categories of persons: 

(1) Other owners of interests in trust 

or restricted lands within the same 

reservation; 

(2) The tribe that exercises 

jurisdiction over the land where the 

parcel is located or any person who is 

eligible for membership in that tribe; 

and 

(3) Any person that is leasing, using, 

or consolidating, or is applying to lease, 

use, or consolidate, such trust or 

restricted land, or the interest in trust or 

restricted lands. 

The purpose of these revisions is to 

enhance the ability of individual 

Indians to realize economic benefit from 

their land by simplifying the leasing or 

contracting process, and to assist and 

encourage the consolidation of land 

ownership. 

Changes to the existing system of 

records, Indian Land Records—Interior, 

BIA–04 (September 13, 1983, 48 FR

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: 

The purpose of TAAMS is to provide 

BIA and Indian tribal officials 

nationwide access to trust asset data 

(including land title records) and trust 

asset management tools. The 

management tools allow TAAMS users 

to access, create, and modify records in 

the BIA database for land ownership, 

contracts and leases, and beneficial 

owners. TAAMS is replacing the 

existing legacy system Land Records 

Information System (LRIS), among other 

BIA-developed systems. TAAMS 

interfaces and exchanges data with the 

DOI system TFAS, and is proposed to 

interface with ProTrac. TFAS, which is 

owned by the Office of the Special 

Trustee for American Indians (OST) 

through a private contractor, provides 

TAAMS with files containing names, 

addresses and other personal data on 

individuals who receive payments from 

OST for natural resources, such as gas 

and oil, produced on their land. 

TAAMS data are not shared with any 

system outside DOI or its agents. 

DOI, and its agents, including private 

contractors, and tribes that compact, 

contract, or enter into cooperative 

agreements with the Department use the 

records to: 

(a) Identify the ownership interests, 

including the name of Indian owners 

and percentage interest in Indian lands 

held in trust or restricted status; 

(b) Record land conveyance and 

encumbrance and lien transactions; 

(c) Determine beneficial rights to the 

land and resources; 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC62 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 38 / Tuesday, February 27, 2007 / Notices 8775 

(d) Appropriately manage trust and 

restricted land and natural resources for 

the benefit of the Indian landowner; 

(e) Provide land statistics in support 

of budget and management initiatives; 

and 

(f) Answer beneficiary questions 

regarding land rights.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, 

RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND

DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

STORAGE: 

Manual Records: Original title 

documents, title document copies, 

certified copies, and certifiable copies, 

are maintained at the Land Titles and 

Records Offices and other Land Titles 

and Records program offices, together 

with reports and certified reports of title 

documents and of land title and 

ownership and all transaction 

documents on files in support of the 

land or title documents. 

Electronic Records: Data extracted 

from such title documents about land 

owners, ownership, conveyances, 

encumbrances, valuation and income, 

are maintained on electronic media 

(e.g., tape, disk, CD Rom and other 

digital or electronic media.) 

RETRIEVABILITY: 

Information may be retrieved 

primarily by trained individuals 

possessing appropriate access querying 

the TAAMS database. Records are 

retrieved using either: (a) An identifier 

linked to a parcel; (b) an identifier for 

a property interest owner, such as name, 

Social Security Number, tribe, tribal 

enrollment, or census numbers; or (c) 

identifiers linked to encumbrances on 

ownership such as mortgages and rightsof-way. 

SAFEGUARDS: 

During business hours, paper records 

are maintained in areas accessible only 

by authorized personnel in a secured 

office environment and comply with the 

minimum DOI safeguard requirements 

for maintaining Privacy Act system of 

records under 43 CFR 2.51. Electronic 

records are accessible via a password 

from terminals located in attended 

offices and the data in those regards 

may be changed only by personnel with 

approved access. Electronic records 

comply with DOI and National Institute 

of Standards and Technology cyber 

security requirements. After business 

hours, buildings have security guards 

and/or secured doors, and all entrances 

are monitored by electronic surveillance 

equipment. A Privacy Impact 

Assessment is being completed for land 

title records files and TAAMS in 

accordance with the E-Government Act 

of 2002 and OMB requirements for new 

and amended information systems. 

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: 

Records are permanently retained for 

historical index. Originals, copies and 

certified copies of Indian land records 

may be located at BIA regional and 

agency offices or at the archives in 

Lenexa, Kansas. The Office of Trust 

Records is currently working with BIA 

to prepare a schedule for retention and 

disposal of records in TAAMS.
