Privacy Act of 1974; Republication of

Existing Systems of Records

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of republication of

existing systems of records.

SUMMARY: Under the Privacy Act of

1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a, EPA

previously published notices for two

systems of records maintained by EPA’s

Office of Inspector General (OIG): the

EPA–4 system of records called ‘‘OIG

Criminal Investigative Index and Files—

EPA/OIG’’ and the EPA–5 system of

records called ‘‘OIG Personnel Security

Files— EPA/OIG.’’ The most recent

notice for these systems of records was

published in the Federal Register at 58

FR 29821 (May 24, 1993). Under 5

U.S.C. 552a(e)(4), EPA is revising the

EPA–4 system notice to add three new

routine uses and to update information

about the categories of individuals

covered by the system, the categories of

records in the system, the authority for

maintenance of the system, the way

records are retrieved from the system,

the record source categories, the system

location, and the system manager’s

address. EPA is revising the EPA–5

system notice to add one new routine

use and to update information about the

categories of records in the system, the

authority for maintenance of the system,

the system location, and the system

manager’s address.

DATES: This notice will be effective

without further notice on October 15,

1997, unless EPA receives written

comments that would result in a

contrary determination.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons may

submit written comments to John C.

Jones, Assistant Inspector General for

Management, Office of Inspector

General (2441), Environmental

Protection Agency, 401 M Street, SW.,

Washington, DC 20460.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John

C. Jones, (202) 260–4912.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For the

EPA–4 system of records, EPA is

revising the notice to add three new

routine uses: Routine use ‘‘u’’ allows the

disclosure of records to officers and

employees of other Federal agencies for

the purpose of conducting quality

assessments of the investigative

operations of the OIG; routine use ‘‘v’’

allows the disclosure of records to the

public when the matter has become

public knowledge, or when the

Inspector General determines that such

disclosure is necessary to preserve

confidence in the integrity of the OIG

investigative process or is necessary to

demonstrate the accountability of EPA

officers, employees, or individuals

covered by this system, unless it is

determined that disclosure of the

specific information in the context of a

particular case would constitute an

unwarranted invasion of personal

privacy; and routine use ‘‘w’’ allows the

disclosure of records to the news media

and public when there exists a

legitimate public interest (e.g., to

provide information on events in the

criminal process, such as indictments),
