SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the Department of State proposes to 

amend an existing system of records, 

Digital Outreach and Communications, 

State–79, pursuant to the provisions of 

the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5 

U.S.C. 552a) and Office of Management 

and Budget Circular No. A–130, 

Appendix I. 

DATES: This system of records will be 

effective on March 7, 2016, unless we 

receive comments that will result in a 

contrary determination. 

ADDRESSES: Any persons interested in 

commenting on the amended system of 

records may do so by writing to the 

Director; Office of Information Programs 

and Services, A/GIS/IPS; Department of 

State, SA–2; 515 22nd Street NW.; 

Washington, DC 20522–8100. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of State proposes that the 

current system retain the name ‘‘Digital 

Outreach and Communications’’ 

(previously published at 78 FR 54946). 

The purpose of the system is to extend 

outreach, engagement, and collaboration 

efforts with the public, and to facilitate 

transparency and accountability with 

regard to Department activities; to 

conduct and administer contests, 

challenges, and other competitions; and 

to track aggregate activity and analytics 

to determine the effectiveness of email 

campaigns. The proposed system will 

include modifications to the following 

sections: System location, Categories of 

individuals, Categories of records, 

Authority for maintenance of the 

system, Purpose, Routine uses, 

Retrievability, Safeguards, and 

Notification procedure. The 

modifications will allow the contact 

information to be stored in a FEDRAMP 

Certified Cloud provider, and will allow 

the Department to collect aggregate 

activity and analytics of email 

campaigns. 

The Department’s report was filed 

with the Office of Management and 

Budget. The amended system 

description, ‘‘Digital Outreach and 

Communications, State–79,’’ will read 

as set forth below. 

Joyce A. Barr, 

Assistant Secretary for Administration, U.S.

PURPOSE: 

To extend outreach, engagement, and 

collaboration efforts with the public, 

and to facilitate transparency and 

accountability with regard to 

Department activities. To conduct and 

administer contests, challenges, and 

other competitions. To track aggregate

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: 

Information in this system may be 

shared with the news media and the 

public, with the approval of the Chief of 

Mission or Bureau Assistant Secretary 

who supervises the office responsible 

for the outreach effort, except to the 

extent that release of the information 

would constitute an unwarranted 

invasion of personal privacy; 

To Government agencies and the 

White House for purposes of planning 

and coordinating public engagement 

activities; 

To a contractor of the Department 

having need for the information in the 

performance of the contract, but not 

operating a system of records within the 

meaning of 5 U.S.C. 552a(m); 

And to Federal, state, and city 

governments which are issued tax 

reports, the Internal Revenue Service 

and the Social Security Administration 

which are sent tax and withholding 

data. 

The Department of State periodically 

publishes in the Federal Register its 

standard routine uses which apply to all 

of its Privacy Act systems of records. 

These notices appear in the form of a 

Prefatory Statement. These standard 

routine uses apply to Digital Outreach 

and Communications, State–79. 

DISCLOSURE TO CONSUMER REPORTING

AGENCIES: 

None. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, 

RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND

DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

STORAGE: 

Electronic media. 

RETRIEVABILITY: 

Username; email; name. 

SAFEGUARDS: 

All users are given cyber security 

awareness training which covers the 

procedures for handling Sensitive But 

Unclassified (SBU) information, 

including personally identifiable 

information (PII). Annual refresher 

training is mandatory. In addition, all 

Foreign Service and Civil Service 

employees and those Locally Engaged 

Staff who handle PII are required to take 

the Foreign Service Institute distance 

learning course, PA 459, instructing 

employees on privacy and security 

requirements, including the rules of 

behavior for handling PII and the 

potential consequences if it is handled 

improperly. 

Access to the Department of State, its 

annexes and posts abroad is controlled 

by security guards and admission is 

limited to those individuals possessing 

a valid identification card or individuals 

under proper escort. All paper records 

containing personal information are 

maintained in secured file cabinets in 

restricted areas, access to which is 

limited to authorized personnel only. 

Access to computerized files is 

password-protected and under the 

direct supervision of the system 

manager. The system manager has the 

capability of printing audit trails of 

access from the computer media, 

thereby permitting regular and ad hoc 

monitoring of computer usage. When it 

is determined that a user no longer 

needs access, the user account is 

disabled. 

Before being granted access to 

Protocol Records, a user must first be 

granted access to the Department of 

State computer system. Remote access 

to the Department of State network from 

non-Department owned systems is 

authorized only to unclassified systems 

and only through a Department 

approved access program. Remote 

access to the network is configured with 

the Office of Management and Budget 

Memorandum M–07–16 security 

requirements which include but are not 

limited to two-factor authentication and 

time out function. All Department of 

State employees and contractors with 

authorized access have undergone a 

thorough background security 

investigation. 

The safeguards in the following 

paragraphs apply only to records that 

are maintained in cloud systems. All 

cloud systems that provide IT services 

and process Department of State 

information must be: (1) Provisionally 

authorized to operate by the Federal 

Risk and Authorization Management 

Program (FedRAMP), and (2) 

specifically authorized by the 

Department of State Authorizing Official 

and Senior Agency Official for Privacy. 

Only information that conforms with 

Department-specific definitions for 

Federal Information Security 

Management Act (FISMA) low or 

moderate categorization are permissible 

for cloud usage. Specific security 

measures and safeguards will depend on 

the FISMA categorization of the 

information in a given cloud system. In 

accordance with Department policy, 

systems that process more sensitive 

information will require more stringent 

controls and review by Department 

cybersecurity experts prior to approval. 

Prior to operation, all Cloud systems 

must comply with applicable security 

measures that are outlined in FISMA, 

FedRAMP, OMB regulations, NIST 

Federal Information Processing 

Standards (FIPS) and Special 

Publication (SP), and Department of 

State policy and standards. 

All data stored in cloud environments 

categorized above a low FISMA impact 

risk level must be encrypted at rest and 

in-transit using a federally approved 

encryption mechanism. The encryption 

keys shall be generated, maintained, and 

controlled in a Department data center 

by the Department key management 

authority. Deviations from these 

encryption requirements must be 

approved in writing by the Authorizing 

Official. 

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: 

Records are retired and destroyed in 

accordance with published Department 

of State Records Disposition Schedules 

as approved by the National Archives 

and Records Administration (NARA).

Assistance for the hearing impaired is 

available through the Federal 

Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1– 

800–877–8339. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Board, created in 1996 to take over 

many of the functions previously 

performed by the Interstate Commerce 

Commission, exercises broad authority 

over transportation by rail carriers, 

including regulation of railroad rates 

and service (49 U.S.C. 10701–47, 

11101–24), as well as the construction, 

acquisition, operation, and 

abandonment of rail lines (49 U.S.C. 

10901–07) and railroad line sales, 

consolidations, mergers, and common 

control arrangements (49 U.S.C. 10902, 

11323–27). 

RSTAC was established upon the 

enactment of the ICC Termination Act of 

1995 (ICCTA), on December 29, 1995, to 

advise the Board’s Chairman, the 

Secretary of Transportation, the 

Committee on Commerce, Science, and 

Transportation of the Senate, and the 

Committee on Transportation and 

Infrastructure of the House of 

Representatives with respect to rail 

transportation policy issues RSTAC 

considers significant. RSTAC focuses on 

issues of importance to small shippers 

and small railroads, including car 

supply, rates, competition, and 

procedures for addressing claims. 

ICCTA directs RSTAC to develop 

private-sector mechanisms to prevent, 

or identify and address, obstacles to the 

most effective and efficient 

transportation system practicable. 

RSTAC also prepares an annual report 

concerning its activities and 

recommendations on whatever 

regulatory or legislative relief it 

considers appropriate. RSTAC is not 

subject to the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act. 

Nine members of RSTAC are voting 

members and are appointed from senior 

executive officers of organizations 

engaged in the railroad and rail 

shipping industries. At least four of the 

voting members must be representatives 

of small shippers as determined by the 

Chairman, and at least four of the voting 

members must be representatives of 

Class II or III railroads. The remaining 

six members to be appointed—three 

representing Class I railroads and three 

representing large shipper 

organizations—serve in a nonvoting, 

advisory capacity, but are entitled to 

participate in RSTAC deliberations. 

RSTAC is required by statute to meet 

at least semi-annually. In recent years, 

RSTAC has met four times a year. 

Meetings are generally held at the 

Board’s headquarters in Washington, 

DC, although some are held in other 

locations. 

RSTAC members receive no 

compensation for their services and are 

required to provide for the expenses 

incidental to their service, including 

travel expenses, as the Board cannot 

provide for these expenses. RSTAC may 

solicit and use private funding for its 

activities, again subject to certain 

restrictions in ICCTA. RSTAC members 

currently have elected to submit annual 

dues to pay for RSTAC expenses. 

RSTAC members must be citizens of 

the United States and represent as 

broadly as practicable the various 

segments of the railroad and rail shipper 

industries. They may not be full-time 

employees of the United States. 

According to revised guidance issued by 

the Office of Management and Budget, 

it is permissible for federally registered 

lobbyists to serve on advisory 

committees, such as RSTAC, as long as 

they do so in a representative capacity, 

rather than an individual capacity. See 

Revised Guidance on Appointment of 

Lobbyists to Federal Advisory 

Committees, Boards, and Commissions, 

79 FR 47482 (Aug. 13, 2014). Members 

of RSTAC are appointed to serve in a 

representative capacity. 

RSTAC members are appointed for 

three-year terms. A member may serve 

after the expiration of his or her term 

until a successor has taken office. No 

member will be eligible to serve in 

excess of two consecutive terms. 

Due to the expiration of one RSTAC 

member’s second term, a vacancy exists 

for a small railroad representative. Upon 

appointment by the Chairman, the new 

representative will serve for three years, 

and may be eligible to serve a second 

three-year term following the end of 

their first term. 

Suggestions for candidates to fill the 

vacancy should be submitted in letter 

form, identify the name of the 

candidate, provide a summary of why 

the candidate is qualified to serve on 

RSTAC, and contain a representation 

that the candidate is willing to serve as 

a member of RSTAC effective 

immediately upon appointment. RSTAC 

candidate suggestions should be filed 

with the Board by February 22, 2016. 

Members selected to serve on RSTAC 

are chosen at the discretion of the 

Board’s Chairman. Please note that 

submissions will be available to the 

public at the Board’s offices and posted 

on the Board’s Web site under Docket 

No. EP 526 (Sub-No. 7). 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 726. 

Decided: January 22, 2016.
