On August 1, 2019, the Service 

published in the Federal Register a final 

rule (84 FR 37716) establishing 

regulations that allow us to authorize 

the nonlethal, incidental, unintentional 

take of small numbers of northern sea 

otters (Enhydra lutris kenyoni) during 

year-round oil and gas industry 

exploration, development, production, 

and transportation activities in the Cook 

Inlet of Alaska. The rule established 

subpart K in part 18 of title 50 of the 

CFR and is effective through August 1, 

2024. The rule prescribed a process 

under which we issue LOAs to 

applicants conducting activities as 

described under the provisions of the 

regulations. 

Each LOA stipulates conditions or 

methods that are specific to the activity 

and location. Holders of the LOAs must 

use methods and conduct activities in a 

manner that minimizes to the greatest 

extent practicable adverse impacts on 

northern sea otters and their habitat, 

and on the availability of northern sea 

otters for subsistence purposes. 

Intentional take and lethal incidental 

take are prohibited under these 

regulations. 

In accordance with section 

101(a)(5)(A) of the Marine Mammal 

Protection Act (MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The DOI Office of Law and 

Enforcement and Security (OLES) 

maintains the Insider Threat Program 

system of records. This system of 

records helps the OLES manage insider 

threat matters and counterintelligence 

threat detection and prevention within 

the DOI. The Insider Threat Program 

was mandated by Presidential Executive 

Order 13587, issued October 7, 2011, 

which requires Federal agencies to 

establish an insider threat detection and 

prevention program to ensure the 

security of classified networks and the 

responsible sharing and safeguarding of 

classified information consistent with 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
48754 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 166 / Tuesday, August 31, 2021 / Notices 

appropriate protections for privacy and 

civil liberties. The OLES uses this 

system to detect, deter and mitigate 

potential threats to the DOI resources 

and information assets; facilitate insider 

threat investigations, complaints, and 

inquiries; and conduct 

counterintelligence threat detection 

activities. 

Insider threats include attempted or 

actual espionage, subversion, sabotage, 

terrorism or extremist activities directed 

against the DOI and its personnel, 

facilities, resources, and activities; 

unauthorized use of or intrusion into 

proprietary information systems; 

unauthorized disclosure of classified, 

controlled unclassified, sensitive, or 

proprietary-information or technology; 

and indicators of potential insider 

threats or other incidents that may 

indicate activities of an insider threat. 

This system may include information 

from any DOI bureau, office, program, 

record or source, and includes records 

from information security, personnel 

security, and systems security for both 

internal and external security threats. 

The DOI is publishing this revised 

notice to update authorities, reflect the 

expanded scope of categories of records 

and categories of individuals covered by 

the modified system, add a new section 

to describe the purpose of the system, 

and provide general and administrative 

updates to the remaining sections of the 

notice in accordance with the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

Circular A–108, Federal Agency 

Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, 

and Publication under the Privacy Act. 

Additionally, the DOI is modifying 

existing routine uses to further provide 

clarity and transparency, and reflect 

updates consistent with standard DOI 

routine uses. The DOI is proposing new 

routine uses to facilitate the sharing of 

information with agencies and 

organizations as necessary to ensure the 

efficient and effective management of 

inquiries, investigations, or referrals 

related to insider threat or 

counterintelligence matters, promote the 

integrity of the records in the system, or 

carry out a statutory responsibility of 

the DOI or Federal Government. 

Routine uses A, B, H, I, and O have 

been modified to provide additional 

clarification on external organizations 

and circumstances where disclosures 

are proper and necessary to facilitate 

insider threat investigations or comply 

with Federal requirements. Modified 

routine use J and new routine use K 

allow the DOI to share information with 

appropriate Federal agencies or entities 

when reasonably necessary to respond 

to a breach of personally identifiable 

information and to prevent, minimize, 

or remedy the risk of harm to 

individuals or the Federal Government, 

or assist an agency in locating 

individuals affected by a breach in 

accordance with OMB Memorandum 

M–17–12, Preparing for and Responding 

to a Breach of Personally Identifiable 

Information. 

Proposed routine use N allows 

sharing with the news media and the 

public, when it is necessary to preserve 

the confidence in the integrity of the 

DOI, demonstrate the accountability of 

its officers, employees, or individuals 

covered in the system, or where there 

exists a legitimate public interest in the 

disclosure of the information such as 

circumstances that support a legitimate 

law enforcement or public safety 

function, or protects the public from 

imminent threat of life or property. 

Proposed routine use R allows DOI to 

share information with third parties 

when necessary to obtain information 

pertinent to an investigation. Proposed 

routine use S allows DOI to share 

information with a public or 

professional licensing organization 

when there is an indication of potential 

violation of professional standards. 

Proposed routine use T facilitates 

sharing with other Federal agencies in 

support of authorized 

counterintelligence activities. Proposed 

routine use U allows DOI to share 

information with any individual, 

organization or entity to notify them of 

a serious threat to homeland security so 

they may guard against or respond to 

the threat when relevant to the 

protection of life, health or property. 

Proposed routine use V allows sharing 

of information with the House 

Committee on Oversight and 

Government Reform and the Senate 

Homeland Security and Governmental 

Affairs Committee pursuant to a written 

request made under 5 U.S.C. 2954. 

Proposed routine use W allows DOI to 

share information with Federal agencies 

or entities regarding counterintelligence 

or insider threat matters, to obtain 

information or guidance on the handling 

of the matter. Proposed routine use X 

allows DOI to share information with 

former DOI employees, contractors or 

individuals who were sponsored by DOI 

for security clearance to respond to 

official inquiries or to facilitate 

communications or obtain information 

that is relevant and necessary for 

personnel related purposes or other 

official purpose as required by DOI. 

Proposed routine use Y facilitates 

sharing of records for audit and 

oversight purposes as authorized by law 

and where necessary and proper to the 

audit or oversight function. Proposed 

routine use Z allows DOI to share 

information with prospective or current 

employers to determine employment 

eligibility. 

In a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 

which is published separately in the 

Federal Register, the DOI is proposing 

to exempt records maintained in this 

system from certain provisions of the 

Privacy Act pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 

552a(k)(1) and (k)(5). 

II. Privacy Act 

The Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 

embodies fair information practice 

principles in a statutory framework 

governing the means by which Federal 

agencies collect, maintain, use, and 

disseminate individuals’ records. The 

Privacy Act applies to records about 

individuals that are maintained in a 

‘‘system of records.’’ A ‘‘system of 

records’’ is a group of any records under 

the control of an agency from which 

information is retrieved by the name of 

an individual or by some identifying 

number, symbol, or other identifying 

particular assigned to the individual. 

The Privacy Act defines an individual 

as a United States citizen or lawful 

permanent resident. Individuals may 

request access to their own records that 

are maintained in a system of records in 

the possession or under the control of 

the DOI by complying with DOI Privacy 

Act regulations at 43 CFR part 2, subpart 

K, and following the procedures 

outlined in the Records Access, 

Contesting Record, and Notification 

Procedures sections of this notice. 

The Privacy Act requires each agency 

to publish in the Federal Register a 

description denoting the existence and 

character of each system of records that 

the agency maintains and the routine 

uses of each system. The revised DOI– 

50, Insider Threat Program, system of 

records notice is published in its 

entirety below. In accordance with 5 

U.S.C. 552a(r), the DOI has provided a 

report of this system of records to the 

Office of Management and Budget and 

to Congress.
