DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission


Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), DOE.

ACTION: Rescindment of a system of records notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974 and Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) Circular No. A-108, the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission (Commission or FERC) proposes to rescind an existing system 
of records notice (SORN). Specifically, the following SORN is being 
proposed for rescindment ``Commission Employee Suggestions File (FERC-
20)''. The basis for rescindment is explained below.

DATES: Comments on this rescindment notice must be received no later 
than 30 days after the date of publication in the Federal Register. If 
no public comment is received during the period allowed for comment or 
unless otherwise published in the Federal Register by FERC, the 
rescindment will become effective a minimum of 30 days after the date 
of publication in the Federal Register. If FERC receives public 
comments, FERC shall review the comments to determine whether any 
changes to the notice are necessary.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted in writing to Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Washington, DC 20426 or 
electronically to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#08787a617e696b71486e6d7a6b266f677e"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="6f1f1d06190e0c162f090a1d0c41080019">[email protected]</span></a>.

Officer & Senior Agency Official for Privacy, Office of the Executive 
Director, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, 
Washington, DC 20426, <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#3444465d4255574d74525146571a535b42"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="d0a0a2b9a6b1b3a990b6b5a2b3feb7bfa6">[email protected]</span></a>, (202) 502-6432.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Commission Employee Suggestions File (FERC--
20) was identified for rescindment from FERC's Privacy Act systems of 
records inventory because the records are not Privacy Act records. Mere 
maintenance of personal information about an individual is not enough 
to create Privacy Act system of records. To satisfy the elements of a 
system of records, there must be (1) group of records; (2) under the 
control of a Government agency; and (3) those records must be retrieved 
by a personal identifier. Under the Privacy Act, a record is defined as 
``any item, collection, or grouping of information about an individual 
that is maintained by an agency.'' FERC accepts employee suggestions ad 
hoc during meetings or through communication with the Workforce 
Relations Division. The Commission is rescinding this System of Records 
Notice because the Program collects no individual identifiers on which 
searches are conducted, thereby making a System of Records Notice 
unnecessary.

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:
    Commission Employee Suggestions File (FERC-20).

HISTORY:
    65 FR 21746 (April 24, 2000).

    Dated: September 30, 2024.
Debbie-Anne A. Reese,
Acting Secretary.
