Needs and Uses: As mandated by the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 

U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), year-round 

reporting of sea turtle incidental take is 

necessary to (1) monitor the level of 

incidental take in the state-monitored 

pound net fishery, (2) ensure that the 

level of take does not exceed the 

Incidental Take Statement issued in 

conjunction with the Biological 

Opinion, and (3) verify that the seasonal 

pound net leader restrictions are 

adequate to protect sea turtles. Further, 

reporting the take of live, injured sea 

turtles caught in pound net gear will 

ensure these turtles are transferred 

immediately to a stranding and 

rehabilitation center for appropriate 

medical treatment. The respondents are 

Virginia pound net fishermen.

households; State, Local or Tribal 

Government.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

[Docket No. 090220220–9295–01] 

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: U.S. Census Bureau, 

Department of Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of Amendment, Privacy 

Act System of Records; COMMERCE/ 

CENSUS–8, Statistical Administrative 

Records System. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, Title 

5 United States Code (U.S.C.) 552a(e)(4) 

and (11); and Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) Circular A–130, 

Appendix I, ‘‘Federal Agency 

Responsibilities for Maintaining 

Records About Individuals,’’ the 

Department of Commerce is issuing 

notice of intent to amend the system of 

records under COMMERCE/CENSUS–8, 

Statistical Administrative Records 

System, to update administrative 

information concerning the purpose of 

the system of records, categories of 

individuals and records covered by the 

system, retrievability, and safeguards for 

the records in the system; in addition to 

minor administrative updates. 

Accordingly, the COMMERCE/ 

CENSUS–8, Statistical Administrative 

Records System notice published in the 

Federal Register on January 20, 2000 

(65 FR 3202), is amended as below. We 

invite public comment on the system 

amendment announced in this 

publication. 

DATES: Comment Date: To be 

considered, written comments on the 

proposed amended system must be 

submitted on or before April 24, 2009. 

Effective Date: Unless comments are 

received, the amended system of records 

will become effective as proposed on 

the date of publication of a subsequent 

notice in the Federal Register. 

ADDRESSES: Please address comments 

to: Chief Privacy Officer, Privacy Office, 

Room HQ—8H168, U.S. Census Bureau, 

4600 Silver Hill Road, Washington, DC 

20233–3700. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Statistical Administrative Records 

System (StARS) supports the Census 

Bureau’s core mission of producing 

economic and demographic statistics in 

accordance with Title 13, United States 

Code (U.S.C.) 41, 61, 81, 91, 101, 102, 

131, 141, 181, 182, 193 and Title 15, 

United States Code (U.S.C.) 1525. 

Further, to the maximum extent 

possible and consistent with the kind, 

timeliness, quality and scope of the 

statistics required, the Census Bureau is 

mandated by 13 U.S.C. 6 to acquire 

information from public and private 

sources to ensure the efficient and 

economical conduct of its censuses and 

surveys by using that information 

instead of conducting direct inquiries. 

To provide the information on which 

the American public, businesses, 

policymakers, and analysts rely, the 

StARS organizes data from a variety of 

sources, thereby eliminating the need to 

collect information again. Avoiding new 

collections precludes duplication, 

enhances efficiency, significantly 

reduces the burden on respondents, and 

lowers the cost to taxpayers. Doing so 

also increases the quality, timeliness, 

and relevance of the information 

available to those making policy 

decisions that impact the public and 

private sectors. The information that 

StARS organizes comes from federal and 

state administrative record systems, 

private entities, current demographic 

and economic surveys, quinquennial 

Economic Censuses, and decennial 

Censuses of Population and Housing. 

The amended system also expands 

protections on access, storage, and use 

of personally identifiable data. The 

StARS is a statistical information system 

whose uses will not directly affect any 

individual. In order to protect 

personally identifiable information, the 

StARS is logically organized into three
