Records 

AGENCY: Commodity Futures Trading 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of Two Modified 

Systems of Records. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, 

as amended, the Commodity Futures 

Trading Commission (CFTC or 

Commission) is republishing two 

existing System of Record Notices 

(SORNs): CFTC–39, Freedom of 

Information Act Requests and CFTC–40, 

Privacy Act Requests. The modification 

will add three routine uses, clarify 

existing routine uses, and bring the 

SORNs in compliance with the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

Circular A–108 SORN template. Two of 

the new routine uses pertain to sharing 

information to mitigate a breach and are 

required by OMB Memorandum 17–12. 

The third new routine use is requested 

by the Office of Government 

Information Services (OGIS) to allow 

disclosure of personally identifiable 

information to OGIS for Freedom of 

Information Act (FOIA) dispute 

resolution and compliance review 

purposes. Other updates include 

identifying the specific routine uses 

applicable to each of the systems of 

records rather than relying on CFTC’s 

previously published blanket routine 

uses, and administrative updates to 

comply with the OMB Circular A–108 

SORN template format. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before August 20, 2018. This action 

takes effect without further notice on 

August 20, 2018, unless revised

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. The Privacy Act 

Under the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 

U.S.C. 552a, a ‘‘system of records’’ is 

defined as any group of records under 

the control of a Federal government 

agency from which information about 

individuals is retrieved by name or by 

some identifying number, symbol, or 

other identifying particular assigned to 

the individual. The Privacy Act 

establishes the means by which 

government agencies must collect, 

maintain, and use information about an 

individual in a government system of 

records. 

Each government agency is required 

to publish a notice in the Federal 

Register in which the agency identifies 

and describes each system of records it 

maintains, the reasons why the agency 

uses the information therein, the routine 

uses for which the agency will disclose 

such information outside the agency, 

and how individuals may exercise their 

rights under the Privacy Act. 

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), 

CFTC has provided reports of these 

systems of records to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) and to 

Congress. 

II. Background 

The Commodity Futures Trading 

Commission (CFTC or Commission) is 

republishing two existing SORNs: 

CFTC–39, Freedom of Information Act 

Requests and CFTC–40, Privacy Act 

Requests. The SORNs are being 

republished to add three routine uses, 

clarify existing routine uses, and bring 

the SORN in compliance with OMB 

Circular A–108 SORN template. The 

records covered under the Freedom of 

Information Act Requests SORN are 

collected and maintained to process 

requests made under the provisions of 

the FOIA, and to assist the CFTC in 

carrying out any other responsibilities 

relating to the FOIA. The records 

covered under the Privacy Act Requests 

SORN are collected and maintained to 

process requests made under the 

provisions of the Privacy Act, and to 

assist the CFTC in carrying out any 

other responsibilities relating to the 

Privacy Act. Two routine uses are being 

added to both SORNs to permit sharing 

with other Federal agencies or Federal 

entities as required by OMB 

Memorandum 17–12, ‘‘Preparing for and 

Responding to a Breach of Personally 

Identifiable Information.’’ These routine 

uses will assist the CFTC and/or other 

Federal agencies or entities in 

responding to a suspected or confirmed 

breach and/or prevent, minimize, or 

remedy the risk of harm to the 

requesters, the CFTC, the Federal 

government, or national security. A 

third routine use is being added to both 

SORNs to permit sharing with the 

National Archives and Records 

Administration (NARA), Office of 

Government Information Services 

(OGIS) so OGIS can review 

administrative policies, procedures, and 

compliance, and to facilitate resolutions 

to disputes between persons making 

FOIA requests and the CFTC. 

Additional updates to both SORNs 

include clarifying the specific routine 

uses applicable to each system of 

records, and administrative updates 

including section name and 

organization updates to comply with the 

OMB Circular A–108 SORN template 

format.
