remedying the risk of harm to 

individuals, the recipient agency or 

entity (including its information 

systems, programs, and operations), the 

Federal Government, or national 

security, resulting from a suspected or 

confirmed breach. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF

RECORDS: 

Records may be stored as paper 

records or electronic media. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF

RECORDS: 

Records are retrieved by name. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND

DISPOSAL OF RECORDS: 

Retention and disposition of these

superseded/obsolete, and the other is 

permanent. 

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL

SAFEGUARDS: 

Electronic records may be secured 

and maintained on a cloud-based 

software server and operating system 

that resides in Federal Risk and 

Authorization Management Program 

(FedRAMP) and Federal Information 

Security Modernization Act (FISMA) 

hosting environment. Data located in 

the cloud-based server is firewalled and 

encrypted at rest and in transit. The 

security mechanisms for handling data 

at rest and in transit are in accordance 

with DOE encryption standards. 

Records are protected from 

unauthorized access through the 

following appropriate safeguards: 

• Administrative: Access to all 

records is limited to lawful government 

purposes only, with access to electronic 

records based on role and either twofactor authentication or password 

protection. The system requires 

passwords to be complex and to be 

changed frequently. Users accessing 

system records undergo frequent 

training in Privacy Act and information 

security requirements. Security and 

privacy controls are reviewed on an 

ongoing basis. 

• Technical: Computerized records 

systems are safeguarded on 

Departmental networks configured for 

role-based access based on job 

responsibilities and organizational 

affiliation. Privacy and security controls 

are in place for this system and are 

updated in accordance with applicable 

requirements as determined by NIST 

and DOE directives and guidance. 

• Physical: Computer servers on 

which electronic records are stored are 

located in secured Department facilities, 

which are protected by security guards, 

identification badges, and cameras. 

Paper copies of all records are locked in 

file cabinets, file rooms, or offices and 

are under the control of authorized 

personnel. Access to these facilities is 

granted only to authorized personnel 

and each person granted access to the 

system must be an individual 

authorized to use or administer the 

system. 

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES: 

The Department follows the 

procedures outlined in 10 CFR part 

1008.4. Valid identification of the 

individual making the request is 

required before information will be 

processed, given, access granted, or a 

correction considered, to ensure that 

information is processed, given, 

corrected, or records disclosed or 

corrected only at the request of the 

proper person. 

CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES: 

Any individual may submit a request 

to the System Manager and request a 

copy of any records relating to them. In 

accordance with 10 CFR 1008.11, any 

individual may appeal the denial of a 

request made by him or her for 

information about or for access to or 

correction or amendment of records. An 

appeal shall be filed within 90 calendar 

days after receipt of the denial. When an 

appeal is filed by mail, the postmark is 

conclusive as to timeliness. The appeal 

shall be in writing and must be signed 

by the individual. The words 

‘‘PRIVACY ACT APPEAL’’ should 

appear in capital letters on the envelope 

and the letter. Appeals of denials 

relating to records maintained in 

government-wide System of Records 

reported by Office of Personnel 

Management (OPM), shall be filed, as 

appropriate, with the Assistant Director 

for Agency Compliance and Evaluation, 

OPM, 1900 E Street NW, Washington, 

DC 20415. All other appeals relating to 

DOE records shall be directed to the 

Director, Office of Hearings and Appeals 

(OHA), 1000 Independence Avenue SW,

In accordance with the DOE 

regulation implementing the Privacy 

Act, 10 CFR part 1008, a request by an 

individual to determine if a System of 

Records contains information about 

themselves should be directed to the 

U.S. Department of Energy,

BILLING CODE 6450–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: U.S. Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of a modified system of 

records. 

SUMMARY: As required by the Privacy 

Act of 1974 and the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

Circulars A–108 and A–130, the 

Department of Energy (DOE or the 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
88256 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 216 / Thursday, November 7, 2024 / Notices 

Department) is publishing notice of a 

modification to an existing Privacy Act 

system of records. DOE proposes to 

amend System of Records DOE–17 DOE 

Alert System. This System of Records 

Notice (SORN) is being modified to 

align with new formatting requirements, 

published by OMB, and to ensure 

appropriate Privacy Act coverage of 

business processes and Privacy Act 

information. 

DATES: This modified SORN will 

become applicable following the end of 

the public comment period on 

December 9, 2024 unless comments are 

received that result in a contrary 

determination. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments should 

be sent to the DOE Desk Officer, Office 

of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Office of Management and Budget, New 

Executive Office Building, Room 10102, 

735 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 

20503 and to Ken Hunt, Chief Privacy 

Officer, U.S. Department of Energy, 

1000 Independence Avenue SW, Rm. 

8H–085, Washington, DC 20585, by 

facsimile at (202) 586–8151, or by email 

at privacy@hq.doe.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ken 

Hunt, Chief Privacy Officer, U.S. 

Department of Energy, 1000 

Independence Avenue SW, Rm. 8H– 

085, Washington, DC 20585, by 

facsimile at (202) 586–8151, by email at 

privacy@hq.doe.gov, or by telephone at 

(240) 686–9485. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 9, 2009, DOE published a 

Compilation of its Privacy Act systems 

of records, which included System of 

DOE–17 DOE Alert System. This notice 

proposes the following amendments. 

The system manager has been updated 

as the Office of Emergency Management. 

‘‘Categories of Individuals Covered by 

the System’’ now includes contractors. 

‘‘Categories of Records in this System’’ 

has been updated to include cell phone 

number. In the ‘‘Routine Uses’’ section, 

this modified notice deletes a previous 

routine use concerning efforts 

responding to a suspected or confirmed 

loss of confidentiality of information as 

it appears in DOE’s compilation of its 

Privacy Act systems of records (January 

9, 2009) and replaces it with one to 

assist DOE with responding to a 

suspected or confirmed breach of its 

records of Personally Identifiable 

Information (PII), modeled with 

language from OMB’s Memorandum M– 

17–12, ‘‘Preparing for and Responding 

to a Breach of Personally Identifiable 

Information’’ (January 3, 2017). Further, 

this notice adds one new routine use to 

ensure that DOE may assist another 

agency or entity in responding to the 

other agency’s or entity’s confirmed or 

suspected breach of PII, as appropriate, 

as aligned with OMB’s Memorandum 

M–17–12. An administrative change 

required by the FOIA Improvement Act 

of 2016 extends the length of time a 

requestor is permitted to file an appeal 

under the Privacy Act from 30 to 90 

days. Both the ‘‘System Locations’’ and 

‘‘Administrative, Technical and 

Physical Safeguards’’ sections have been 

modified to reflect the Department’s 

usage of cloud-based services for 

records storage. Language throughout 

the SORN has been updated to align 

with applicable Federal privacy laws, 

policies, procedures, and best practices. 

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER: 

DOE–17 DOE Alert System.

In accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and 

the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission’s (Commission) 

regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office 

of Energy Projects has reviewed the 

application for a new license to 

continue to operate and maintain the 

West Canada Creek Hydroelectric 

Project (West Canada Creek Project) and 

has prepared a Final Environmental 

Assessment (final EA) for the project. 

The West Canada Creek Project is 

located on West Canada Creek, in the 

counties of Oneida and Herkimer, New 

York. 

The final EA contains staff’s analysis 

of the potential environmental impacts 

of the project and concludes that 

licensing the project, with appropriate 

environmental protective measures, 

would not constitute a major federal 

action that would significantly affect the 

quality of the human environment. 

The Commission provides all 

interested persons with an opportunity 

to view and/or print the final EA via the 

internet through the Commission’s
