SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The Department of the Treasury

established TD 32–13 and TD P 32–13

to set forth policies and procedures for

reimbursing employees for personal

items that are lost, stolen, or damaged

during the performance of an

employee’s official duty. Previously,

Treasury established the policy and

procedures for employee’s personal

property claims in 31 CFR part 4. The

newly established documents supersede

part 4.

Administrative Procedure Act

Because this rule relates to agency

management and personnel, notice and

public procedure and a delayed

effective date are not required pursuant

to 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2).

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory

Planning and Review

This rule is limited to agency

organization, management and

personnel matters; therefore, it is not

subject to Executive Order 12866.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

Because no notice of proposed

rulemaking is required, the provisions

of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5

U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not apply.

List of Subjects in 31 CFR Part 4

Government employees.

Dated: March 19, 1997.

George Mun ̃ oz,

Assistant Secretary (Management) and Chief

Financial Officer.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Defense Privacy Office is

amending Appendix C to 32 CFR Part

310 by adding a new Department of

Defense ‘Blanket Routine Use’.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 16, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

Vahan Moushegian, Jr., at (703) 607–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The ‘Blanket Routine Use’ was

previously published on February 13,

1987 at 52 FR 4645, and then amended

on May 5, 1987 at 52 FR 16431.

Executive Order 12866. It has been

determined that this Privacy Act rule for

the Department of Defense does not

constitute ‘significant regulatory action’.

Analysis of the rule indicates that it

does not have an annual effect on the

economy of $100 million or more; does

not create a serious inconsistency or

otherwise interfere with an action taken

or planned by another agency; does not

materially alter the budgetary impact of

entitlements, grants, user fees, or loan

programs or the rights and obligations of

recipients thereof; does not raise novel

legal or policy issues arising out of legal

mandates, the President’s priorities, or

the principles set forth in Executive

Order 12866.

Regulatory Flexibility Act. It has been

determined that this Privacy Act rule for

the Department of Defense does not

have significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

because it is concerned only with the

administration of Privacy Act systems of

records within the Department of

Defense.

Paperwork Reduction Act. It has been

determined that this Privacy Act rule for

the Department of Defense imposes no

information requirements beyond the

Department of Defense and that the

information collected within the

Department of Defense is necessary and

consistent with 5 U.S.C. 552a, known as

the Privacy Act, and 44 U.S.C. Chapter

35.

List of Subjects in 32 CFR Part 310

Privacy.

Accordingly, 32 CFR part 310 is

amended as follows:

PART 310—DOD PRIVACY PROGRAM

part 310 continues to read as follows:

Authority: Pub. L. 93–579, 88 Stat 1896 (5

U.S.C. 552a).

2. Appendix C to part 310 is amended

by adding paragraph N as follows:

Appendix C to Part 310–DoD Blanket
