SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 

16, 2018, (83 FR 40843) PHMSA 

published a notice to seek public 

comments on a report developed to 

support improvements in gas and 

hazardous liquid pipeline risk models. 

Based on the results of pipeline 

inspections and failure investigation 

findings, both PHMSA and the National 

Transportation Safety Board have 

identified general weaknesses in the risk 

models often used by pipeline operators 

in performing risk assessments for their 

integrity management programs. The 

Pipeline Risk Modeling Report 

considers the major types of pipeline 

risk models, and the effectiveness of 

each type in supporting risk 

assessments, as applied to pipeline 

operator decisions. 

In an August 15, 2018, letter to 

PHMSA, the American Gas Association, 

the American Petroleum Institute, the 

American Public Gas Association, the 

Association of Oil Pipe Lines, and the 

Interstate Natural Gas Association of 

America requested a 30-day extension of 

the comment deadline to allow them 

and other interested stakeholders plan 

their review of the notice. 

PHMSA has concurred with the 

Associations’ request and has extended 

the comment period as shown in the 

DATES section of this notice. This 

extension will provide sufficient 

additional time for commenters to 

submit their comments. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on August 24, 

2018, under authority delegated in 49 CFR 

1.97.

Deputy Associate Administrator for Field

‘‘Council’’) the authority to require that 

a nonbank financial company be 

supervised by the Board of Governors of 

the Federal Reserve System and be

Council determines that material 

financial distress at the firm, or the

to the financial stability of the United 

States. The information collected in

will be used generally by FSOC to carry 

out its duties under Title I of the DoddFrank Act. The collections of 

information in §§ 1310.21 and 1310.22

hearing or submit written materials to 

the Council concerning whether, in the 

company’s view, material financial 

distress at the company, or the nature, 

scope, size, scale, concentration, 

interconnectedness, or mix of the 

activities of the company, could pose a 

threat to the financial stability of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department is republishing, in full, the 

System of Records Notice (SORN) 

36VA29 that was last published on 

October 22, 2010. This republication 

provides a number of nonsignificant 

edits added for clarity and brevity, such 

as minor updates involving the 

locations and references of the mailing 

addresses for both onsite and offsite 

records storage sites, corrected office 

designations for VA Insurance Center’s 

Director, amendment of website 

terminology that reflects more accurate 

nomenclature for access, and includes 

references to the amended title of the 

vendor that provides 

telecommunication services to the 

Veterans Insurance Phone Section 

(VIPS). This nonsignificant alteration 

also eliminates references to the 

amendments made in the revised and 

consolidated SORN 36VA29 of October 

22, 2010. 

This amendment also provides for a 

number of modifications for routine 

uses that include text changes and 

additions that are considered to be a 

significant amendment based on VA 

requirements. The following are the 

changes made to the routine uses for 

SORN 36VA29. 

The language of routine use number 

one, which states, ‘‘The record of an 

individual who is covered by a system 

of records may be disclosed to a 

Member of Congress, or a staff person 

acting for the Member, when the 

Member or staff person requests the 

record on behalf of, and at the written 

request of, the individual’’, has been 

amended to state, ‘‘VA may disclose 

information from the record of an 

individual in response to an inquiry 

from the congressional office made at 

the request of that individual.’’ VA must 

be able to provide information about 

individuals to adequately respond to 

inquiries from Members of Congress at 

the request of constituents who have 

sought their assistance. This change to 

routine use number one is not a new 

routine use but is amended to reflect the 

current language used for the release of 

information to members of Congress. 

The language of former routine use 

number seven, which is now designated 

as routine use number two, reads, ‘‘VA 

may, on its own initiative, disclose any 

information or records to appropriate 

agencies, entities, and persons when (1) 

VA suspects or has confirmed that the 

integrity or confidentiality of 

information in the system of records has 

been compromised; (2) the Department 

has determined that, as a result of the 

suspected or confirmed compromise, 

there is a risk of embarrassment or harm 

to the reputations of the record subjects, 

harm to economic or property interests, 

identity theft or fraud, or harm to the 

security, confidentiality, or integrity of 

this system or other systems or 

programs (whether maintained by the 

Department or another agency or entity) 

that rely upon the potentially 

compromised information; and (3) the 

disclosure is to agencies, entities, or 

persons whom VA determines are 

reasonably necessary to assist or carry 

out the Department’s efforts to respond 

to the suspected or confirmed 

compromise and prevent, minimize, or 

remedy such harm. This routine use 

permits disclosures by the Department 

to respond to a suspected or confirmed 

data breach, including the conduct of 

any risk analysis or provision of credit 

protection services as provided in 38 

U.S.C. 5724, as the terms are defined in 

38 U.S.C 5727’’, has been amended to 

read, ‘‘VA may, on its own initiative, 

disclose information from this system to 

appropriate agencies, entities, and 

persons when (1) VA suspects or has 

confirmed that there has been a breach 

of the system of records; (2) VA has 

determined that as a result of the 

suspected or confirmed breach there is 

a risk of harm to individuals, VA 

(including its information systems, 

programs, and operations), the Federal 

Government, or national security; and 

the disclosure made to such agencies, 

entities, and persons is reasonably 

necessary to assist in connection with 

VA’s efforts to respond to the suspected 

or confirmed breach or to prevent, 

minimize, or remedy such harm.’’. 

This change to former routine use 

number seven, which is now designated 

as routine use number two, is not a new 

routine use. This routine use permits 

disclosures by the Department to 

respond to a suspected or confirmed 

data breach, including the conduct of 

any risk analysis or provision of credit 

protection services as provided in 38 

U.S.C. 5724.’’ 

a. Effective Response. A Federal 

agency’s ability to respond quickly and 

effectively, in the event of a breach of 

Federal data, is critical to its efforts to 

prevent or minimize any consequent
