###### Department of the Interior

###### Office of the Secretary 

# AGENCY:

Office of the Secretary, Department of the Interior. 

# ACTION:

Proposed amendment of an existing system of records. 

# SUMMARY:

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), the Office of the Secretary is issuing public notice of its intent to amend an existing Privacy Act system of records notice, Interior, OS-01, “Computerized ID Security System,” to implement Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) and to clarify its interpretation of 5 U.S.C. 6106. HSPD-12 requires federal agencies to use a common identification credential for both logical and physical access to federally controlled facilities and information systems. Accordingly, the National Business Center, within the Office of the Secretary of the Department of the Interior, is integrating its computerized smart-card physical security system with the identity management system which automates the process of issuing credentials to all Departmental employees, contractors, volunteers and other individuals who require regular, ongoing access to agency facilities, systems and networks based on sound criteria to verify an individual's identity, that are strongly resistant to fraud, tampering, counterfeiting, and terrorist exploitation, and that provide for rapid, electronic authentification of personal identity, by a provider whose reliability has been established through an official accreditation process. It is also expanding the coverage of this system to include all locations, Departmentwide, both Federal buildings and Federally-leased space, where paper-based physical security logs and registers have been established, in addition to or in place of smart-card access control systems. For this reason, it is renaming and renumbering this Privacy Act system notice as Interior, DOI-46: “HSPD-12: Physical Security Files.” 

# DATES:

*Effective Date:*5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(11) requires that the public be 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, in its Circular A-130, requires an additional 10-day period (for a total of 40 days) in which to make these comments. Any persons interested in commenting on this proposed amendment may do so by submitting comments in writing to the Office of the Secretary Privacy Act Officer, Sue Ellen Sloca, U.S. Department of the Interior, MS-120 SIB, 1951 Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20240, or by e-mail to                         *Sue_Ellen_Sloca@nbc.gov*. Comments received within 40 days of publication in the                         **Federal Register**                         will be considered. The system will be effective as proposed at the end of the comment period unless comments are received which would require a contrary determination. The Department will publish a revised notice if changes are made based upon a review of comments received.                     

# FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

                        David VanderWeele, Security Specialist, NBC Security Services, MS-1229 MIB, 1849 C St., NW., Washington, DC 20240, or by e-mail to                         *David_A_Vanderweele@nbc.gov.*

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

In this notice, the Department of the Interior (DOI) is amending Interior, OS-01, “Computerized ID Security System” to implement HSPD-12, and is renaming and renumbering it as Interior, DOI-46: “HSPD-12: Physical Security Files.” In the process, it is expanding the categories of individuals covered by the system to include all individuals who have access to DOI facilities, and the categories of records covered by the system notice to include additional personal identity verification (PIV) data such as fingerprints. It is also clarifying its interpretation of 5 U.S.C. 6106 by deleting the note that follows the list of the routine uses of the records maintained in the system. This note concerned disclosures within DOI of data pertaining to the date and time of entry and exit of an agency employee working in the District of Columbia. 

Accordingly, the Department of the Interior proposes to amend the system notice for Interior, OS-01, “Computerized ID Security System” in its entirety to read as follows: 

Dated: March 7, 2007. 

Sue Ellen Sloca, 

Office of the Secretary Privacy Act Officer.

### SAFEGUARDS:

Access to records covered by the system will be permitted only to authorized personnel in accordance with requirements found in the Departmental Privacy Act regulations (43 CFR 2.51).

Access granted to individuals 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. Data exchanged between the servers and the client PCs at the guard stations and badging office are encrypted. Backup tapes are stored in a locked and controlled room in a secure, off-site location. A Privacy Impact Assessment was completed to ensure that Privacy Act requirements and personally identifiable information safeguard requirements are met.
