DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice 3686]

Privacy Act of 1974: Alteration of an

Existing System of Records

Notice is hereby given that the

Department of State proposes to alter an

existing system of records, STATE–43,

pursuant to the provisions of the

Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5

U.S.C. 522a (r)), and the Office of

Management and Budget Circular No.

A–130, Appendix I. The alteration of

STATE–43 incorporates the records of

similar systems of records previously

maintained by the former United States

Information Agency and the former

Arms Control and Disarmament Agency

as a result of the consolidation of those

agencies with the Department as

mandated by the Foreign Affairs

Agencies Consolidation Act of 1998

(Pub. L. 105–277). The Department’s

report was filed with the Office of

Management and Budget on May 16,

2001.

It is proposed that the current system

STATE–43 be renamed ‘‘Congressional

Correspondence Records’’ and due to

the expanded scope of the current

system, the altered system description

will include revisions and/or additions

to all sections except the system

location and categories of individuals

covered by the system. Changes to the

existing system description are

proposed in order to reflect more

accurately the Bureau of Legislative

Affairs’ record-keeping systems and a

reorganization of activities and

operations.

Any persons interested in

commenting on the altered system of

records may do so by submitting

comments in writing to Margaret Peppe,

Chief; Programs and Policies Division;

Office of IRM Programs and Services; A/

RPS/IPS/PP; U.S. Department of State,

SA–2; Washington, DC 20522–6001.

This system of records will be

effective 40 days from the date of

publication, unless we receive

comments that will result in a contrary

determination.

The altered system description,

‘‘Congressional Correspondence

Records, STATE–43’’ will read as set

forth below.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Each year, approximately 41,000

Americans die in traffic crashes and

another three million are injured. On

America’s roads, someone is killed

every 13 minutes and someone is

injured every nine seconds in traffic

crashes.

In 1995, law enforcement agencies,

working with Federal, state and

community traffic safety partners

established a national goal of reducing

alcohol-related traffic fatalities in

America to no more than 11,000 by the

year 2005. Ultimately, the goal is zero

tolerance. Achieving this goal will

reduce deaths caused by impaired

driving by approximately 5,000 each

year, saving 14 lives every day.

Reducing the death toll to 11,000

represents a national commitment.

Two national mobilizations are

planned yearly targeting impaired

drivers. The first ‘‘wave’’ takes place the

July 4th week. The second mobilization

period is for a week in December. The

impaired driving dates coincide with

those regularly scheduled by Operation

Combined Accident Reduction Effort,

the organization of state police and

highway patrols which schedules

saturated holiday enforcement periods.

By establishing these dates, law

enforcement can continue to conduct

enforcement campaigns around holidays

and other emphasis periods and the

highway safety community can partner

to help publicize the events and better

educate the public.

Past agency efforts have identified a

number of enforcement techniques,

strategies, and technology-based tools

which can act to reduce the occurrence

of impaired driving related crashes.

1. Sobriety Checkpoints and Saturation

Patrols

Sobriety checkpoints and saturation

patrols coupled with a public

information and education campaign

have proven to be highly effective in

removing the impaired driver from the

highways. Research conducted both in

the U.S. and abroad indicates that the

use of sobriety checkpoints has been

associated with substantial reductions

in impaired driving related crashes

(Ross, 1992; Voas et al. 1985). Sobriety

checkpoints involve the stopping of

motor vehicles on a non-discriminatory

basis in order to detect drivers who may

be impaired by alcohol and other drugs.

In addition, checkpoints can be

instrumental in the enforcement of other

traffic safety laws such as zero tolerance

for youth and graduated licensing. The

use of sobriety checkpoints is permitted

in 41 states and the District of

Columbia.

As an example of the kinds of

reductions that may be achieved with a

large and sustained program, the State

of Tennessee conducted an intensive

sobriety checkpoint effort combined

with PI & E from April 1994 to March

1995 (see Lacey et al., 1999). As part of

this effort, state and local enforcement

agencies were involved. Nearly 900

checkpoints were conducted and more

than 140,000 drivers were checked for

alcohol impairment. In addition to the

nearly 800 DUI arrests, there were more
