          - [Public Notice 3685] 

Notice is hereby given that the Department of State proposes to alter six existing systems of records, STATE-08, STATE-62, STATE-63, STATE-64, STATE-65 and STATE-66 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. These systems were integrated into the Department of State on October 1, 1999 as part of 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-62 will be renamed “Records of the Office of Citizen Exchanges” and STATE-65 will be renamed “Speaker/Specialist Program Records.” Due to the integration into the Department of State and the scope of the current systems, all six altered system descriptions will                           ( print page 29620)                        include revisions and/or additions to all other sections. Changes to the existing system descriptions are proposed in order to reflect more accurately the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, and the Office of International Information Programs' record-keeping systems and a reorganization of activities and operations.                 

Any persons interested in commenting on the altered systems 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. 

These systems 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 descriptions, “Educational and Cultural 

Exchange Program Records, STATE-08,” “Records of the Office of Citizen Exchanges, STATE-62,” “Cultural Property Advisory Committee Records, STATE-63,” “Service Contributors Records, STATE-64,” “Speaker/Specialist Program Records, STATE-65,” and “Electronic Media Photographers Records, STATE-66” will read as set forth below.
