SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    The Department of the Interior (DOI) Office of Financial Management 
maintains the DOI-12, Donations Program Files, system of records. This 
system assists DOI in managing the Donations Program and facilitating 
the evaluation, acceptance, and solicitation of donations of money, 
real property, personal property, services, or other gifts by members 
of the public and organizations to the Department of the Interior and 
its officials.
    DOI is publishing this revised notice to make administrative 
updates to the following sections: System location; system manager; 
authorities; categories of individuals; categories of records; storage; 
retrieval; retention and disposal; safeguards; and the procedures on 
record access, contesting record and notification. This revised notice 
is organized to reflect the government-wide format established by the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB), which includes new sections on 
the purpose and history of the system of records. Additionally, DOI is 
proposing to modify routine use ``A'' to clarify authorized disclosures 
to the Department of Justice; modify routine

[[Page 32679]]

use ``J'' and add new routine use ``K'' to permit sharing of 
information with appropriate Federal agencies or entities when 
reasonably necessary to assist in efforts to respond to a breach of 
personally identifiable information and to prevent, minimize, or remedy 
the risk of harm to individuals or the Federal Government in accordance 
with OMB policy; and modify routine use ``N'' to further clarify 
authorized disclosures to the news media and the public. DOI last 
published the Donations Program Files system of records notice in the 
Federal Register at 77 FR 66628 (November 6, 2012).

II. Privacy Act

    The Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, embodies fair information 
practice principles in a statutory framework governing the means by 
which Federal agencies collect, maintain, use, and disseminate 
individuals' personal information. The Privacy Act applies to records 
about individuals that are maintained in a ``system of records.'' A 
``system of records'' is a group of any records under the control of an 
agency for which information is retrieved by the name of an individual 
or by some identifying number, symbol, or other identifying particular 
assigned to the individual. The Privacy Act defines an individual as a 
United States citizen or lawful permanent resident. Individuals may 
request access to their own records that are maintained in a system of 
records in the possession or under the control of DOI by complying with 
DOI Privacy Act regulations at 43 CFR part 2, subpart K, and following 
the procedures outlined in the Records Access, Contesting Record, and 
Notification Procedures sections of this notice.
    The Privacy Act requires each agency to publish in the Federal 
Register a description denoting the existence and character of each 
system of records that the agency maintains and the routine uses of 
each system. The revised Donations Program Files system of records 
notice is published in its entirety below. In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 
552a(r), DOI has provided a report of this system of records to the 
Office of Management and Budget and to Congress.

III. Public Participation

    You should be aware your entire comment including your personal 
identifying information, such as your address, phone number, email 
address, or any other personal identifying information in your comment, 
may be made publicly available at any time. While you may request to 
withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we 
cannot guarantee we will be able to do so.

Teri Barnett,
Departmental Privacy Officer.

(whether Federal, state, territorial, local, tribal or foreign) when a

purpose for which the records were compiled.

a legitimate public interest in the disclosure of the information, such 
as circumstances where providing information supports a legitimate law 
enforcement or public safety function, or protects the public from 
imminent threat of life or property; except to the extent it is 
determined that release of the specific information in the context of a 
particular case would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal 
privacy.

tribal, or foreign agency to provide information needed in the 
performance of official duties related to the verification, 
authorization, or processing of money, real property, personal

organizations, or any issue otherwise related to the purpose for which 
the records were compiled.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF RECORDS:
    Records are maintained in both paper and electronic form. Paper 
records are maintained in file folders stored in file cabinets. 
Electronic records are maintained as files in computers, computer 
databases, email, and on encrypted removable drives and agency servers.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF RECORDS:
    Information within this system may be retrieved by the DOI office 
or bureau receiving the donation, the benefitting program or activity, 
nature of the gift, size of the donation, the identity of the donor by 
individual or organization name, and may also be retrieved by keyword 
search.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND DISPOSAL OF RECORDS:
    Records are maintained under Departmental Records Schedule (DRS)-
3.1.0001, Program Monitoring and Policy Development (DAA-0048-2013-
0008-0001), which has been approved by the National Archives and 
Records Administration (NARA). DRS-3.1.0001 is a Department-wide 
records schedule that covers records involved in the regular monitoring 
and oversight of Federal programs. The disposition for these records is 
temporary. These records will be destroyed five years after cut-off, 
which is at the end of the fiscal year in which the final document is 
superseded or obsolete, or upon determination that a final document 
will not be produced. Records not used to support the program are cut 
off at the end of the fiscal year when the document was created as 
these records support the creation of permanent policy records that are 
not authorized for destruction and must be transferred to the National 
Archives in accordance with other records retention schedules. Paper 
records are disposed of by shredding or pulping, and records

[[Page 32681]]

contained on electronic media are degaussed or erased in accordance 
with 384 Departmental Manual 1 and NARA guidelines.

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL SAFEGUARDS:
    The records contained in this system are safeguarded in accordance 
with 43 CFR 2.226 and other applicable security and privacy rules and 
policies. During normal hours of operation, paper records are 
maintained in locked file cabinets under the control of authorized 
personnel. Electronic records are safeguarded by permissions set to 
``Authenticated Users'' which require password login. Computer servers 
on which electronic records are stored are located in secured DOI 
controlled facilities with physical, technical and administrative 
levels of security to prevent unauthorized access to the DOI network 
and information assets. The computer servers in which electronic 
records are stored are located in DOI facilities that are secured by 
security guards, alarm systems and off-master key access. Access to 
servers containing records in this system is limited to DOI personnel 
and other authorized parties who have a need to know the information 
for the performance of their official duties. Data exchanged between 
the servers and the system is encrypted. Backup tapes are encrypted and 
stored in a locked and controlled room in a secure, off-site location.
    Computerized records systems follow the National Institute of 
Standards and Technology privacy and security standards as developed to 
comply with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a; Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3521; Federal Information Security 
Modernization Act of 2014, 44 U.S.C. 3551-3558; and the Federal 
Information Processing Standards 199: Standards for Security 
Categorization of Federal Information and Information Systems. Security 
controls include user identification, passwords, database permissions, 
encryption, firewalls, audit logs, and network system security 
monitoring, and software controls. Access to records in the system is 
limited to authorized personnel who have a need to access the records 
in the performance of their official duties, and each user's access is 
restricted to only the functions and data necessary to perform that 
person's job responsibilities. System administrators and authorized 
users are trained and required to follow established internal security 
protocols and must complete all security, privacy, and records 
management training and sign the DOI Rules of Behavior.

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES:
    An individual requesting records on himself or herself should send 
a signed, written inquiry to the applicable System Manager identified 
above. The request must include the specific bureau or office that 
maintains the record to facilitate location of the applicable records. 
The request envelope and letter should both be clearly marked ``PRIVACY 
ACT REQUEST FOR ACCESS.'' A request for access must meet the 
requirements of 43 CFR 2.238.

CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES:
    An individual requesting corrections or the removal of material 
from his or her records should send a signed, written request to the 
applicable System Manager as identified above. The request must include 
the specific bureau or office that maintains the record to facilitate 
location of the applicable records. A request for corrections or 
removal must meet the requirements of 43 CFR 2.246.
