Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 172 / Friday, September 5, 1997 / Notices 47065

Sale enables the IRA diversify its

portfolio. Mr. Callaway represents that

Sale will occur only with the utilization

of the fair market values of the involved

securities based on the closing prices on

the date of the Sale for the stock and the

bid prices for the U.S. Treasury notes.

5. In summary, the applicant

represents that the proposed transaction

satisfies the criteria contained in section

4975(c)(2) of the Code because (a) the

sale and exchange will be a one-time

transaction involving securities for

which market values are readily

ascertainable; (b) the IRA will incur no

commissions or other expenses from the

Sale; (c) the IRA will receive not less

than the fair market value of its

securities involved in the Sale; and (d)

the participant of the IRA has

determined that the proposed

transaction is appropriate for and in the

best interest of his IRA and he desires

that the transaction be consummated.

Notice to Interested Persons

Because Mr. Callaway is the only

participant in his IRA, it has been

determined that there is no need to

distribute the notice of proposed

exemption to interested persons.

Comments and requests for a hearing are

due 30 days after publication of this

notice in the Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

C.E. Beaver of the Department,

telephone (202) 219–8881. (This is not

a toll-free number.)

General Information

The attention of interested persons is

directed to the following:

(1) The fact that a transaction is the

subject of an exemption under section

408(a) of the Act and/or section

4975(c)(2) of the Code does not relieve

a fiduciary or other party in interest of

disqualified person from certain other

provisions of the Act and/or the Code,

including any prohibited transaction

provisions to which the exemption does

not apply and the general fiduciary

responsibility provisions of section 404

of the Act, which among other things

require a fiduciary to discharge his

duties respecting the plan solely in the

interest of the participants and

beneficiaries of the plan and in a

prudent fashion in accordance with

section 404(a)(1)(b) of the act; nor does

it affect the requirement of section

401(a) of the Code that the plan must

operate for the exclusive benefit of the

employees of the employer maintaining

the plan and their beneficiaries

(2) Before an exemption may be

granted under section 408(a) of the Act

and/or section 4975(c)(2) of the Code,

the Department must find that the

exemption is administratively feasible,

in the interests of the plan and of its

participants and beneficiaries and

protective of the rights of participants

and beneficiaries of the plan;

(3) The proposed exemptions, if

granted, will be supplemental to, and

not in derogation of, any other

provisions of the Act and/or the Code,

including statutory or administrative

exemptions and transitional rules.

Furthermore, the fact that a transaction

is subject to an administrative or

statutory exemption is not dispositive of

whether the transaction is in fact a

prohibited transaction; and

(4) The proposed exemptions, if

granted, will be subject to the express

condition that the material facts and

representations contained in each

application are true and complete and

accurately describe all material terms of

the transaction which is the subject of

the exemption. In the case of continuing

exemption transactions, if any of the

material facts or representations

described in the application change

after the exemption is granted, the

exemption will cease to apply as of the

date of such change. In the event of any

such change, application for a new

exemption may be made to the

Department.

Signed at Washington, DC, this 2nd day of

September, 1997.

Director of Exemption Determinations

BILLING CODE 4510–29–P

INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARY AND

WATER COMMISSION, U.S. SECTION

Privacy Act of 1974; System of

Records

AGENCY: International Boundary and

Water Commission.

ACTION: Amendment of system of

records to include new routine uses.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(11), the

International Boundary & Water

Commission is issuing notice of our

intent to amend the system of records to

include new routine uses. We invite

public comment on this publication.

DATES: The changes will become

effective as proposed, on October 1,

1997, unless comments which would

warrant our preventing the changes

from taking effect are received on or

before 30 days from the date of this

notice.

ADDRESSES: Interested individuals may

comment on this publication by writing

to (Richard L. Livengood, IBWC, 4171

N. Mesa, Suite C–310, El Paso, TX

79902). All comments received will be

available for public inspection at that

address.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

(Richard L. Livengood, IBWC, 4171 N.

Mesa, Suite C–310, El Paso, TX 79902).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Discussion of Proposed Additions to

Routine Use

Pursuant to the Pub. L. 104–193, the

Personal Responsibility and Work

Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996,

the International Boundary and Water

Commission will disclose data from its

payroll system of records to the Office

of Child Support Enforcement,

Administration for Children and

Families, Department of Health and

Human Services for use in its Federal

Parent Locator System (FPLS) and

Federal Tax Offset System, DHHS/OCSE

No. 09–90–0074. Information on this

system was last published at 61 FR

38754, July 25, 1996.

FPLS is a computerized network

through which States may request

location information from Federal and

State agencies to find non-custodial

parents and/or their employers for

purposes of establishing paternity and

securing support. Effective October 1,

1997, the FPLS will be enlarged to

include the National Directory of New

Hires, a database containing information

on employees commencing

employment, quarterly wage data on

private and public sector employees,

and information on unemployment

compensation benefits. Effective

October 1, 1998, the FPLS will be

expanded to include a Federal Case

Registry. The Federal Case Registry will

contain abstracts on all participants

involved in child support enforcement

cases. When the Federal Case Registry is

instituted, its files will be matched on

an ongoing basis against the files in the

National Directory of New Hires to

determine if an employee is a

participant in a child support case

anywhere in the country. If the FPLS

identifies a person as being a participant

in a State Child support case, that State

will be notified of the participant’s

current employer. State requests to the

FPLS for location information will also

continue to be processed after October

1, 1998.

The data to be disclosed by The

International Boundary and Water

Commission to the FPLS include: Wages

earned, income taxes paid both state

and federal.
47066 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 172 / Friday, September 5, 1997 / Notices

In addition, names and social security

numbers submitted by The International

Boundary & Water Commission to the

FPLS will be disclosed by the Office of

Child Support Enforcement to the Social

Security Administration for verification

to ensure that the social security

number provided is correct.

The data disclosed by The

International Boundary & Water

Commission to the FPLS will also be

disclosed by the Office of Child Support

Enforcement to the Secretary of the

Treasury for use in verifying claims for

the advance payment of the earned

income tax credit or to verify a claim of

employment on a tax return.

II. Compatibility of Proposed Routine

Uses

We are proposing these routine uses

in accordance with the Privacy Act (5

U.S.C. 552a(b)(3)). The Privacy Act

permits the disclosure of information

about individuals without their consent

for a routine use where the information

will be used for a purpose which is

compatible with the purpose for which

the information was originally collected.

The Office of Management and Budget

has indicated that a ‘‘compatible’’ use is

a use which is necessary and proper.

See OMB Guidelines, 51 FR 18982,

18985 (1986). Since the proposed uses

of the data are required by Pub. L. 104–

193, they are clearly necessary and

proper uses, and therefore ‘‘compatible’’

uses which meet Privacy Act

requirements.

III. Effect of the Proposed Changes on

Individuals

We will disclose information under

the proposed routine uses only as

required by Pub. L. 104–193 and as

permitted by the Privacy Act.
