DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Office of the Secretary 

Privacy Act; System of Records 

ACTION: Proposed addition of a new 

system of records. 

SUMMARY: The Department of the 

Interior (DOI) is issuing public notice of 

its intent to create a Privacy Act (PA) 

system of records in its inventory of 

records systems subject to the Privacy 

Act of 1974. This action is necessary to 

meet the requirements of the Privacy 

Act to publish in the Federal Register 

notice of the existence and character of 

records systems maintained by the 

agency. The new system of records is 

captioned, ‘‘Interior/DOI–16,’’ and is 

titled, ‘‘DOI LEARN.’’

5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(11) requires that the 

public be provided a 30-day period in 

which to comment on the agency’s 

intended use of the information in the 

system of records. The Office of 

Management and Budget, in its Circular 

A–130, requires an additional 10-day 

period in which to make comments. 

Any persons interested in commenting 

on this proposed amendment may do so 

by submitting comments in writing to 

the Departmental Privacy Act Officer, 

U.S. Department of the Interior, Office 

of the Chief Information Officer, Mail 

Stop (MS)–5312–Main Interior Building 

(MIB), 1849 C Street, NW., Washington, 

DC 20240, (202) 219–0868 or by e-mail 

to Marilyn_Legnini@ios.doi.gov. 

Comments received within 40 days of 

publication in the Federal Register will 

be considered. The system will be 

effective as proposed at the end of the 

comment period unless comments are 

received which would require a 

contrary determination. The Department 

will publish a revised notice if changes 

are made based upon a review of 

comments received. 

DATES: Submit comments by November 

4, 2005. Records system will become 

effective on November 4, 2005 unless 

comments warrant a revision.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces a new Privacy Act 

system of records being implemented in 

conjunction with the Office of Personnel 

Management. The various bureaus, 

offices and programs within the 

Department of the Interior (DOI) offer 

unique training and education 

opportunities in the environmental, 

land management and conservation 

areas of study. These training services 

are provided to individuals and groups 

from the Department; other Federal 

agencies; State agencies; not-for-profit 

organizations; institutes of higher 

learning; international organizations or 

agencies and private citizens. 

DOI LEARN is an electronic system 

that will allow all prospective students 

to view training offered by the various 

Interior bureaus and offices. Interior 

employees will be able to access the 

system, apply for authorized instructorled classes, create learning plans, 

perform training gap analyses, view and 

launch computer or web-based training 

(CBT/WBT), and apply for and track 

approval of third-party vendor training 

offered outside DOI LEARN by use of an 

electronic application and registration 

module. 

The Department of the Interior must 

collect certain personal information for 

all students in order to validate training 

records necessary for certification or for 

granting of college credit and to meet 

periodic reporting requirements 

mandated by the Office of the Personnel 

Management and Budget reports which 

typically include training expenses and 

student training days. Other information 

may be collected to comply with the 

American with Disabilities Act 

requirements to address facilities 

accommodations. Prospective students 

who are not Interior employees will 

submit their personal and billing 

information only when they decide 

upon a specific training class. 

Although the Department will collect 

and use the information that will reside 

in DOI LEARN, the physical database 

will be managed by the Office of 

Personnel Management (OPM) in 

conjunction with the E-Training 

initiative of the Presidents Management 

Agenda for E-Government. 

Dated: September 30, 2005.

Deputy Chief Human Capital Officer, Office 

of the Secretary. 

INTERIOR/DOI–16 

SYSTEM NAME: 

DOI LEARN (Department-wide 

Learning Management System). 

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: 

None. 

SYSTEM LOCATION: 

The system of records is located at a 

digital safe in a facility in Reston, 

Virginia, managed under contract to the 

Office of Personnel Management (OPM). 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM: 

All employees, contractors, volunteers 

and appointees of the Department of the 

Interior (DOI), who receive training 

related to their official duties, whether 

or not sponsored by DOI bureaus and 

offices. All non-DOI individuals who 

participate in DOI-sponsored training or 

attend DOI-sponsored meetings. NonDOI individuals are defined as Federal 

employees from other agencies; 

personnel from states, private agencies, 

not-for-profit organizations, universities; 

and private citizens. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

Interior employee information will be 

primarily imported from the Department 

of the Interior Federal Personnel and 

Payroll System (FPPS) on a bi-monthly 

basis. Occasional specific data entry for 

an individual Interior employee may be 

required if the employee is requesting 

training registration and the scheduled 

routine import has not yet added his/her 

information to the system. Specific data 

fields include: name, social security 

number, address information, gender, 

date of birth, organization code, position 

title, GS series, pay plan, grade level, 

supervisory status, type of appointment, 

education level, duty station code, 

department, bureau, date of Federal 

service, date of last promotion, 

occupational category, race, national 

origin, and adjusted basic pay. 

Historical training records of current 

employees contained in the DOI LEARN 

system will be derived initially from 

existing systems where training data is 

currently being housed. Fields 

contained in this subset of data include, 

but are not limited to, necessary course 

information (e.g., course title and class 

name) and class status information (e.g., 

begin/end dates, completion status, 

certification requirements met, test 

scores, and acquired skills). 

The personal information maintained 

on non-DOI individuals include the 

participants’ name, social security 

number, agency address, agency 

affiliation, phone/fax numbers, e-mail 

address, supervisor’s name and phone 

number, job series/grade/title, billing 

information (e.g., responsible agency, 

tax ID number, DUNS number, purchase 

order numbers, agency location codes 

and credit card information); necessary 

course information (e.g., course title, 

class name, objectives, description, and 

who should attend); class status 

information (begin/end dates, 

responsible class instructor, completion 

status, certification requirements met); 

and student transcripts (course(s) 

completed/not completed, test scores, 

acquired skills).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Refuges encompass 47,296 limitedinterest acres within the boundaries of 

39 individual National Wildlife Refuges 

(NWR). These refuges include: Appert 

Lake; Ardoch; Bone Hill; Brumba; 

Buffalo Lake; Camp Lake; Canfield Lake; 

Cottonwood; Dakota Lake; Half Way 

Lake; Hiddenwood; Hobart Lake; 

Hutchinson Lake; Johnson Lake; Lake 

George; Lake Otis; Lake Patricia; Lambs 

Lake; Little Goose; Lords Lake; Lost 

Lake; Maple River; Pleasant Lake; Pretty 

Rock; Rabb Lake; Rock Lake; Rose Lake; 

School Section Lake; Sheyenne Lake; 

Sibley Lake; Silver Lake; Snyder Lake; 

Springwater; Stoney Slough; Sunburst 

Lake; Tomahawk; Willow Lake; 

Wintering River; and Wood Lake. 

These Refuges range in size from 160 

acres (Half Way Lake NWR) to 5,506 

acres (Rock Lake NWR). The approved 

acquisition boundaries for these 

Refuges, established in the 1930s and 

1940s under the authority of Executive 

Orders and other conservation laws, 

total 54,140 acres. Six different North 

Dakota Managing Stations are 

responsible for these Refuges, including 

Arrowwood NWR Complex, Audubon 

NWR Complex District, Devils Lake 

WMD, J. Clark Salyer NWR Complex, 

Kulm WMD, and Long Lake NWR 

Complex. Most of these Refuges, except 

for two, Lake Patricia NWR and Pretty 

Rock NWR, are located east of the 

Missouri River. All Refuges have an 

overriding purpose of providing habitat 

for migratory birds, particularly 

waterfowl. No staff or funding is 

dedicated to these Refuges. Historically, 

management has been incidental to the 

Managing Station’s other funded 

programs. 

Limited-Interest Refuges began in the 

1930s, in response to the crises of that 

time including drought, depression, and
