None. U.S. Department of Agriculture; Privacy Act System of Records; Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act Case Files USDA/FS–61; Narrative Statement

The purpose of the proposed system is to provide the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Forest Service (FS) the capability to record, control, and determine the status of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and Privacy Act (PA) cases, and to prepare a mandatory annual FOIA report to the U.S. Department of Justice. The FOIA and PA Case files are managed by the Office of Regulatory and Management Services Freedom of Information Act/Privacy Act staff. The Forest Service is the administrative agency for this system.

The authority for maintaining this system of records is the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552; and the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, as amended.

The information gathered is voluntarily submitted by individuals who request agency records pursuant to the FOIA and PA. The system of records consists of a copy of the request, appeal, request for correction/amendment, or subsequent lawsuit received; a description of the records requested, appealed, or litigated; a copy of records that were provided or denied; a copy of all correspondence related to the case to include final determinations; billing information to include payment delinquencies; and case notes. Information collected includes the individual’s name, address, telephone number, and email address.

The records will be accessible only to authorized agency personnel who need to view the information in order to conduct their assigned duties. All electronic information is maintained by the Forest Service in a web-based database and stored on secured servers in Kansas City, Kansas. Hard copy records are retrieved by name and unique request identification number in lockable file cabinets in office buildings that require USDA employee identification badges or visitors passes
to enter.

The system provides for the following routine use disclosures that are necessary and proper for the agency’s administration of its duties in connection with the operation of the FOIA/PA program: in connection with a referral or consultation with another agency; in connection with litigation; for law enforcement purposes; for responses to Congressional inquiries; to the National Archives and Records Administration and the General Services Administration for records inspections; on a limited basis to entities engaged by the agency in the performance of a service; and in connection with information security breaches in order to protect the interests of the individuals covered by the system. While these routine uses allow disclosures outside USDA, and so have some impact on privacy of individuals, they are either necessary for carrying out the agency mission and minimizing waste, fraud, and abuse, are required by law, or benefit the subjects of the records. On balance, the needs of the agency and the benefits to the individuals of these disclosures justify the minimal impact on privacy.

The system of records is not exempt from any provisions of the Privacy Act.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

Title: Data Collection for Container Availability.

OMB Number: 0581–[ New ]. Expiration Date of Approval: [ THREE YEARS FROM DATE OF OMB APPROVAL].

Type of Request: New request for information collection.

Abstract: The Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (7 U.S.C. 1621–1627) directs and authorizes the collection and dissemination of marketing information including adequate outlook information, on a market area basis, for the purpose of anticipating and meeting consumer requirements aiding in the maintenance of farm income and to bring about a balance between production and utilization.

As part of the Agricultural Marketing Service, the Transportation Services Division (TSD) provides insightful agricultural transportation information and analysis to help move agricultural products to market. TSD informs, represents, and assists agricultural shippers and government policymakers through: Market reports, representation, analysis, assistance, and responses to inquiries. TSD collects data for its analysis from public resources as well as unique data sources to help the agricultural exporters make the most out of the transportation options available.

The new Data Collection for Container Availability will provide U.S. agricultural exporters with weekly data detailing the availability of containers at select locations around the country. AMS will collect these data on a voluntary basis from ocean containercarriers and then provide these up-todate data in an aggregate report on its Web site. The goal of the report is to provide more transparency in the market for the location and availability of marine shipping containers for U.S. exporters. Exporters will be able to use this tool to make more knowledgeable decisions about which locations provide the best chance for finding available containers to move their products

overseas. Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1.61 hours per
response.

Respondents: Ocean Container/Liner Carriers and the Westbound Transpacific Stabilization Agreement.

Estimated Number of Respondents:
21.

Estimated Total Annual Responses: 1,092.
