FEDERAL LABOR RELATIONS 

AUTHORITY 

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: Federal Labor Relations 

Authority. 

ACTION: Notice of a new system of 

records. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Privacy Act of 1974, the Federal Labor 

Relations Authority (FLRA) is issuing 

public notice of an intent to introduce 

a new system of records entitled, 

‘‘Privacy Act Requests and Appeals.’’ 

This notice publishes details of the new 

system as set forth below. 

DATES: This notice action shall be 

applicable immediately, which will 

become effective February 7, 2024. 

Comments will be accepted on or 

before: February 7, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

which must include the caption ‘‘SORN 

Notice (Privacy Act),’’ by one of the 

following methods: 

Email: SolMail@flra.gov. Include 

‘‘SORN Notice (Privacy Act)’’ in the 

subject line of the message. 

Mail: Thomas Tso, Senior Agency 

Official for Privacy, Federal Labor 

Relations Authority, 1400 K Street NW, 

Washington, DC 20424–0001.

Official for Privacy, at (771) 444–5779. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Privacy Act of 1974 requires that each 

agency publish notice of all the systems 

of records that it maintains. This 

document proposes the introduction of 

a new system of records. The ‘‘Freedom 

of Information Act Request and Appeal 

Files’’ is the system that the FLRA uses 

to provide the public with a single 

location to submit and track Freedom of 

Information Act (FOIA) and related 

requests and appeals filed with the 

FLRA. The FLRA had used this single 

system to track Privacy Act requests, 

which are often combined with FOIA 

requests, see 82 FR 49813 (October 27, 

2017). Other agencies have also treated 

Privacy Act and FOIA requests as a 

singular system of records. E.g., 

Department of Treasury, Freedom of 

Information Act/Privacy Act Request 

Records, 81 FR 78266 (Nov. 7, 2016). 

The FLRA now proposes a new 

system of records, titled ‘‘Privacy Act 

Requests and Appeals,’’ to separate 

Privacy Act request records as an 

independent system of records. 

Pursuant to the Creating Advanced 

Streamlined Electronic Services for 

Constituents Act of 2019 (‘‘CASES 

Act’’), Public Law 116–50, 133 Stat. 

1073 (2019), the Office of Management 

and Budget’s M–21–04, ‘‘Modernizing 

Access to and Consent for Disclosure of 

Records Subject to the Privacy Act,’’ 

asks agencies to ‘‘provide a digital 

service option to ensure that individuals 

have the ability to digitally request 

access to or consent to disclosure of 

their records’’ covered by the Privacy 

Act. M–21–04 also asks agencies to 

‘‘review SORNs governing systems of 

records that include Privacy Act 

requests for access to and consent to 

disclosure of records, and, if necessary, 

modify those SORNs, as well.’’ The 

FLRA determined that a separate system 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 5 / Monday, January 8, 2024 / Notices 919 

of records should be used to track the 

documents generated by requests under 

the Privacy Act, which may include 

different information or use different 

forms than requests under FOIA.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the requirements 

of the National Environmental Policy

prepare an Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) to analyze the potential 

environmental impacts from the 

proposed modernization of the Land 

Port of Entry (LPOE) in Norton,

allow the U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to more efficiently 

carry out its agency mission at the 

international border crossing between 

Norton, Vermont and Stanhope, Quebec. 

The project study area is located in an 

area susceptible to flooding and 

therefore project alternatives will be

Orders 11988, and 13690. GSA also 

intends to initiate consultation as 

required by Section 106 of the National 

Historic Preservation Act. 

DATES: Public Scoping—Interested 

parties are encouraged to provide 

written comments regarding the scope 

of the EIS. Written comments must be

MA 02222–1077. 

Meeting Location—A public scoping

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Adam Hunter, Norton Project Manager, 

(347) 255–7483, adam.hunter@gsa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The project scope consists of the 

modernization of a LPOE in order to 

meet the U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) current Program of 

Requirements to carry out their agency 

mission at the international border 

crossing between Norton, Vermont and 

Stanhope, Quebec. The existing LPOE 

was constructed in 1933, with a truck 

facility constructed in 1961. Two 

additional garages were built in 2003. 

The main building is listed on the 

National Register of Historic Places. The 

current facilities are significantly 

outdated and do not meet the CBP’s 

current LPOE design standards. 

The proposed modernization of the 

Norton, Vermont LPOE would help 

improve traffic flow, enhance security, 

and facilitate trade and travel in the 

region. The proposed new facility will 

strengthen supply chains, improve 

operational capabilities and facility 

infrastructure, spur economic growth, 

and bolster the country’s security. 

Alternatives Under Consideration 

GSA intends to prepare an EIS to 

analyze the potential environmental 

impacts resulting from the proposed 

modernization of the Norton, Vermont 

LPOE. The EIS will consider at a 

minimum, one ‘‘action’’ alternative and 

one ‘‘no action’’ alternative. The action
