Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 234 / Tuesday, December 6, 2011 / Proposed Rules 76103 

close support of combat vehicles or 

troops (e.g., personnel carriers, resupply 

vehicles, combat engineer vehicles, 

recovery vehicles, reconnaissance 

vehicles, bridge launching vehicles, 

ambulances, and command and control 

vehicles); or 

(3) incorporate any ‘‘mission systems’’ 

controlled under this subchapter. 

‘‘Mission systems’’ are defined as 

‘‘systems’’ (see § 121.8(g) of this 

subchapter) that are defense articles that 

perform specific military functions, 

such as by providing military 

communication, target designation, 

surveillance, target detection, or sensor 

capabilities. 

Note: ‘‘Armored’’ ground vehicles, for 

purposes of paragraph (a) of this section, (i) 

are ground vehicles that have integrated, 

fully armored hulls or cabs, or (ii) are ground 

vehicles on which add-on armor has been 

installed to provide ballistic protection to 

level III (National Institute of Justice 

Standard 0108.01, September 1985) or better. 

‘‘Armored’’ vehicles do not include those 

that are merely capable of being equipped 

with add-on armor. 

(b) Ground Vehicles ‘‘specially 

designed’’ for military applications that 

are not identified in (a) of this section 

are subject to the EAR under ECCN 

0A606, including any unarmed ground 

vehicles, regardless of origin or 

designation, manufactured prior to 1956 

and unmodified since 1955. 

Modifications made to incorporate 

safety features required by law, are 

cosmetic (e.g. different paint, 

repositioning of bolt holes), or that add 

parts or components otherwise available 

prior to 1956 are considered 

‘‘unmodified’’ for the purposes of this 

subparagraph. ECCN 0A606 also 

includes unarmed vehicles derived from 

otherwise EAR99 civilian vehicles that 

have been modified or otherwise fitted 

with materials to provide ballistic 

protection, including protection to level 

III (National Institute of Justice Standard 

0108.01, September 1985) or better and 

that do not have reactive or 

electromagnetic armor.

[Public Notice 7710] 

Privacy Act; Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking: State-78, Risk Analysis 

and Management Records 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the Department of State proposes to 

amend its Privacy Act regulation 

exempting portions of a newly created 

system of records from certain 

provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974, as 

amended (5 U.S.C. 552a). Certain 

portions of the Risk Analysis and 

Management (RAM) Records, State-78, 

system of records contain criminal 

investigation records, investigatory 

material for law enforcement purposes, 

confidential source information and are 

proposed to be exempted under 5 U.S.C. 

552a(j)(2), (k)(1), (k)(2), and (k)(5). 

DATES: Comments on this system of 

records must be submitted by January 

17, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Any persons interested in 

commenting on the proposed 

exemptions of the new system of 

records may do so by writing to the 

Director; Office of Information Programs 

and Services, A/GIS/IPS; Department of 

State, SA–2; 515 22nd Street NW.; 

Washington, DC 20522–8001. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Director; Office of Information Programs 

and Services, A/GIS/IPS; Department of 

State, SA–2; 515 22nd Street NW.; 

Washington, DC 20522–8001. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A notice 

of proposal to create a new system of 

records (Public Notice XXXX) is 

published elsewhere in the Federal 

Register. The proposed system, Risk 

Analysis and Management (RAM) 

Records, State-78, will support the 

vetting of directors, officers, or other 

employees of organizations who apply 

for Department of State contracts, 

grants, cooperative agreements, or other 

funding. The information collected from 

these organizations and individuals is 

specifically used to conduct screening 

to ensure that Department funds are not 

used to provide support to entities or 

individuals deemed to be a risk to U.S. 

national security interests. The records 

may contain criminal investigation 

records, investigatory material for law 

enforcement purposes, and confidential 

source information. 

The Department of State proposes to 

amend 22 CFR part 171 to exempt 

portions of the Risk Analysis and 

Management Records system of records 

from subsections (c)(3) and (4), (d), 

(e)(1), (2), and (3), (e)(4)(G), (H), and (I), 

(e)(5) and (8), (f), (g), and (h) of the 

Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5 

U.S.C. 552a), pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552 

a (j)(2) and from subsections (c)(3),(d), 

(e)(1), (e)(4)(G), (H), and (I), and (f) of 

the Privacy Act pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 

552a (k)(1), (k)(2), and (k)(5). 

Dated: November 16, 2011.
