Abstract: This rule applies to Basic 

Oxygen Process Furnaces (BOPFs) in 

iron and steel plants commencing 

construction, modification or 

reconstruction after June 11, 1973 and 

top-blown BOPFs, hot metal transfer 

stations or skimming stations for which 

construction, reconstruction, or 

modification commenced after January 

20, 1983. Respondents are required to 

submit initial notifications, conduct 

performance tests and report test results 

for the primary emission control 

devices, and submit periodic reports. 

Sources also must develop and 

implement a startup, shutdown, and 

malfunction plan (SSMP) and submit 

semiannual reports of any event where 

the procedures in the plan were not 

followed. This information is being 

collected to assure compliance with 40 

CFR part 60, subparts N and Na. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Basic 

oxygen process furnaces (BOPF). 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subparts N 

and Na). 

Estimated number of respondents: 13 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Semiannually. 

Total estimated burden: 4,560 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $562,000 (per 

year), which includes $21,600 in 

annualized capital/startup and/or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is 

decrease in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR. This decrease is 

due to a decrease in the number of 

sources. The estimate of 13 respondents 

in this ICR reflects a decrease in the 

number of respondents from the prior 

ICR due to the closing or merger of 

existing facilities, as confirmed through 

Agency review of iron and steel 

facilities in related rulemaking 

activities. Since there are no changes in 

the regulatory requirements and there is 

no significant industry growth, there are 

also no changes in the capital/startup or 

operation and maintenance (O&M) 

costs.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of a modified system of 

records. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications 

Commission (FCC or Commission or 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
50350 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 171 / Wednesday, September 8, 2021 / Notices 

Agency) has modified an existing 

system of records, FCC/OMD–16, 

Personnel Security Files, subject to the 

Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. This 

action is necessary to meet the 

requirement of the Privacy Act to 

publish in the Federal Register notice of 

the existence and charger of records 

maintained by the agency. The FCC’s 

Security Operations Center (SOC) in the 

Office of Managing Director (OMD) uses 

this system of records to determine an 

individual’s suitability for access to 

classified information and/or a security 

clearance; evaluate an individual’s 

suitability for Federal employment, 

including temporary hires such as 

interns, consultants, and experts, or to 

perform contractual services for the 

FCC; respond to complaints of threats, 

harassment, violence, or other 

inappropriate behavior at the FCC; and, 

document security violations and 

related activities such as insider threats. 

DATES: This system of records will 

become effective on September 8, 2021. 

Written comments on the routine uses 

are due by October 8, 2021. The routine 

uses will become effective on October 8, 

2021, unless written comments are 

received that require a contrary 

determination. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Margaret 

Drake, at privacy@fcc.gov, or at Federal 

Communications Commission, 45 L 

Street NE, Washington, DC 20554 at 

(202) 418–1707. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Margaret Drake, (202) 418–1707, or 

privacy@fcc.gov (and to obtain a copy of 

the Narrative Statement and the 

Supplementary Document, which 

includes details of the modifications to 

this system of records). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice serves to modify FCC/OMD–16, 

Personnel Security Files, to reflect 

various necessary updates, including 

format changes required by OMB 

Circular A–108 since its previous 

publication and edits to existing routine 

uses, two of which address data 

breaches, as required by OMB 

Memorandum M–17–12. The 

substantive changes and modifications 

to the previously published version of 

the FCC/OMD–16 system of records 

include: 

1. Updating the System Location to 

show the FCC’s new headquarters 

address. 

2. Updating the Purposes section for 

clarity and to include determinations 

about an individual’s suitability, 

eligibility, and fitness to access FCC and 

other Federal facilities, information, 

systems, or applications. 

3. Updating the Categories of 

Individuals Covered section for clarity 

and to include witnesses, references, 

and other individuals who may have 

provided information contained in this 

system. 

4. Updating the Categories of Records 

for clarity and to include information 

related to maintenance of a public trust 

or national security position. 

5. Renumbering and revising language 

in four routine uses: (2) Law 

Enforcement and Investigation; (4) 

Government-wide Program Management 

and Oversight; (9) Employment, 

Clearances, Licensing, Contract, Grant, 

or other Benefits Decisions by Other 

than the FCC, and (10) Labor Relations. 

6. Removing two routine uses: (5) 

Contract Services, Grants, or 

Cooperative Agreements and (13) 

National Security and Intelligence 

Matters. 

7. Adding a new Routine Use: (14) For 

Non-Federal Personnel, to allow 

contractors performing or working on a 

contract for the Federal Government 

access to information in this system. 

8. Updating the History section 

referencing the previous publication of 

this SORN in the Federal Register, as 

required by OMB Circular A–108. 

The system of records is also updated 

to reflect various administrative changes 

related to the system managers and 

system addresses; policy and practices 

for storage, retrieval, and retention and 

disposal of the records; administrative, 

technical, and physical safeguards; and 

updated notification, records access, 

and contesting records procedures.

network. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF

RECORDS: 

Records are retrieved by an 

individual’s name or Social Security 

Number (SSN). 

POLICIES AND PRACTIES FOR RETENTION AND

DISPOSAL OF RECORDS: 

The records in this information

006–0024/0025), approved by the 

National Archives and Records 

Administration (NARA). 

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL

SAFEGUARDS: 

The electronic records, data, and files 

are stored within FCC accreditation 

boundaries and maintained in a 

database housed in the FCC computer 

network. Access to the electronic files is 

restricted to authorized SOC staff and 

contractors, and IT staff, contractors, 

and vendors who maintain the IT 

networks and services. As a further 

measure, access to these electronic 

records is restricted to the SOC staff and 

contractors who have a specific role in 

the system that requires their access to 

investigation information and related 

SOC functions. The SOC maintains an 

audit trail to monitor access. 

Furthermore, as part of these privacy 

and security requirements, SOC staff 

and contractors must complete training 

specific to their roles to ensure that they 

are knowledgeable about how to protect 

PII. Other FCC employees and 

contractors may be granted access on a 

need-to-know basis. The electronic files 

and records are protected by the FCC 

and third-party privacy safeguards, a 

comprehensive and dynamic set of IT 

safety and security protocols and 

features that are designed to meet all 

Federal IT privacy standards, including 

those required by the Federal 

Information Security Modernization Act 

of 2014 (FISMA), the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB), and 

National Institute of Standard and 

Technology (NIST). 

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES: 

Under the authority granted to heads 

of agencies by 5 U.S.C. 552a(k), the FCC 

has determined (47 CFR 0.561) that this 

system of records is exempt from 

disclosing its record access procedures 

for this system of records. 

CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES: 

Individuals wishing to request access 

to and/or amendment of records about 

themselves should follow the 

Notification Procedure below. 

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES: 

Individuals wishing to determine 

whether this system of records contains 

information about themselves may do so 

by writing Privacy@fcc.gov. Individuals 

requesting access must also comply 

with the FCC’s Privacy Act regulations 

regarding verification of identity to gain 

access to records as required under 47 

CFR part 0, subpart E. 

EXEMPTIONS PROMULGATED FOR THE SYSTEM: 

This system of records is exempt from 

sections (c)(3), (d), (e)(1), (e)(4)(G), (H), 

and (I), and (f) of the Privacy Act of 

1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, and from 47 CFR 

0.554–0.557 of the Commission’s rules. 

These provisions concern the 

notification, record access, and 

contesting procedures described above, 

and also the publication of record 

sources. The system is exempt from 

these provisions because it contains the 

following types of information: 

1. Properly classified information, 

obtained from another Federal agency 

during the course of a personnel 

investigation, which pertains to national 

defense and foreign policy, as stated in 

Section (k)(1) of the Privacy Act; 

2. Investigative material compiled for 

law enforcement purposes as defined in 

Section (k)(2) of the Privacy Act; 

3. Investigative material compiled 

solely for the purpose of determining 

suitability, eligibility, or qualifications 

for Federal civilian employment, as 

described in Section (k)(5) of the 

Privacy Act, as amended. 

HISTORY: 

The FCC last gave full notice of this 

system of records, FCC/OMD–16, 

Personnel Security Files, by publication 

in the Federal Register on March 12, 

2018 (83 FR 10721).

Information Collections Being 

Reviewed by the Federal 

Communications Commission 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort 

to reduce paperwork burdens, and as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995 (PRA), the Federal 

Communications Commission (FCC or 

Commission) invites the general public 

and other Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on the 

following information collections. 

Comments are requested concerning: 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Commission, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

the accuracy of the Commission’s 

burden estimate; ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; ways to minimize 

the burden of the collection of 

information on the respondents, 

including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology; and ways to 

further reduce the information 

collection burden on small business 

concerns with fewer than 25 employees. 

The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a 

collection of information unless it
