11050 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 39 / Thursday, February 27, 2014 / Proposed Rules 

from this provision is necessary to avoid 

impeding counterterrorism, law 

enforcement, or intelligence efforts by 

putting the subject of an investigation, 

study, or analysis on notice of that fact, 

thereby permitting the subject to engage 

in conduct intended to frustrate or 

impede the activity. 

(G) From subsection (e)(4)(G), 

(e)(4)(H), and (e)(4)(I) (Agency 

Requirements) because portions of this 

system are exempt from the access and 

amendment provisions of subsection 

(d). 

(H) From subsection (e)(5) because the 

requirement that records be maintained 

with attention to accuracy, relevance, 

timeliness, and completeness could 

unfairly hamper law enforcement 

processes. It is the nature of law 

enforcement to uncover the commission 

of illegal acts at diverse stages. It is often 

impossible to determine initially what 

information is accurate, relevant, timely, 

and least of all complete. With the 

passage of time, seemingly irrelevant or 

untimely information may acquire new 

significance as further details are 

brought to light. 

(I) From subsection (e)(8) because the 

requirement to serve notice on an 

individual when a record is disclosed 

under compulsory legal process could 

unfairly hamper law enforcement 

processes. It is the nature of law 

enforcement that there are instances 

where compliance with these provisions 

could alert the subject of an 

investigation of the fact and nature of 

the investigation, and/or the 

investigative interest of intelligence or 

law enforcement agencies; compromise 

sensitive information related to national 

security; interfere with the overall law 

enforcement process by leading to the 

destruction of evidence, improper 

influencing of witnesses, fabrication of 

testimony, and/or flight of the subject; 

reveal a sensitive investigative or 

intelligence technique; or constitute a 

potential danger to the health or safety 

of law enforcement personnel, 

confidential informants, and witnesses. 

(J) From subsection (f) because 

requiring the Agency to grant access to 

records and establishing agency rules 

for amendment of records would 

unfairly impede the agency’s law 

enforcement mission. To require the 

confirmation or denial of the existence 

of a record pertaining to a requesting 

individual may in itself provide an 

answer to that individual relating to the 

existence of an on-going investigation. 

The investigation of possible unlawful 

activities would be jeopardized by 

agency rules requiring verification of the 

record, disclosure of the record to the 

subject, and record amendment 

procedures. 

(K) From subsection (g) to the extent 

that the system is exempt from other 

specific subsections of the Privacy Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Rules section of this Federal Register, 

EPA is approving Wisconsin’s SIP 

submittal as a direct final rule without 

prior proposal because the Agency 

views this as a noncontroversial 

submittal and anticipates no adverse 

comments. A detailed rationale for the 

approval is set forth in the direct final 

rule. If no adverse comments are 

received in response to this rule, no 

further activity is contemplated. If EPA 

receives adverse comments, the direct 

final rule will be withdrawn and all 

public comments received will be 

addressed in a subsequent final rule 

based on this proposed rule. EPA will 

not institute a second comment period. 

Any parties interested in commenting 

on this action should do so at this time. 

Please note that if EPA receives adverse 

comment on an amendment, paragraph, 

or section of this rule and if that 

provision may be severed from the 

remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt 

as final those provisions of the rule that 

are not the subject of an adverse 

comment. For additional information, 

see the direct final rule which is located 

in the Rules section of this Federal 

Register.
