System Name 

Timber Sale Information System (TSIS)— 

Interior, BLM–16 

SYSTEM LOCATION: 

U.S. Department of the Interior, 

Bureau of Land Management, Oregon 

State Office, 333 SW. 1st Avenue, 

Portland, Oregon 97204. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM: 

Purchasers of vegetal materials. 

Purchasers refer to those individuals 

that purchase vegetative materials, and 

enter into timber sales and stewardship 

contracts; and include, but are not 

limited to, the following descriptive 

terminology: individual buyers or 

permittees, partnerships, corporations 

or contractors. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

The record contains customer 

information on timber purchasers, 

contact person(s) for timber purchasers 

of special forest products, and 

stewardship agreement recipients 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
3920 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 15 / Monday, January 25, 2010 / Notices 

(individual, partnership, corporate). 

Information is collected in person from 

a purchaser physically present at a BLM 

facility or from an authorized BLM 

Contracting Officer. The data is entered 

into TSIS by an authorized BLM 

employee or contractor. 

The record may contain the 

purchaser’s name, address, phone 

numbers, driver license, vehicle 

information, description of the material 

purchased, quantity, sale price, the 

Bureau’s assigned sale number, and 

information on debts owed the Bureau 

because of defective payments. The 

SCID module contains the contractor/ 

agreement recipient’s name and 

telephone number. The system operates 

under the Privacy Act of 1974 and the 

regulations in 43 CFR 2.48(d). 

Note: Certain categories of information 

must be reviewed under the Freedom of 

Information Act (FOIA) and are not included 

in the information available for public 

inspection. 

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

16 U.S.C. 617, 30 U.S.C. 601, 43 

U.S.C. 1181(a). 

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: 

The primary uses of the records are: 

(1) Timber sale accounting, 

management, activity tracking and 

tracking of Special Forest Product (SFP) 

sales and permits. The TSIS provides 

direct support to BLM Mission Goals 

2.4.01 and 2.4.02 related to managing 

the use of forest and woodland products 

in the Public Domain (PD) and in the 

Oregon and California Lands (O&C). The 

volumes calculated in 2.4.01 and 2.4.02 

are used to determine the percentages in 

2.4.03 and 2.4.04. The TSIS is the sole 

automated process to track timber sale 

and special forest product activity and 

accomplishments, and it is the sole 

source for validation of timber sale and 

special forest product revenues in the 

BLM’s financial system. The SCID 

module is the sole automated process to 

track stewardship contracts and 

agreements, and is the sole source for 

validation of revenues received via 

stewardship contracting from timber 

sales, procurement contracts and 

agreements. In addition, SCID records 

earned credits for work performed on 

public lands in exchange for the vegetal 

contracts. The work credit is reported to 

the contractor and the Internal Revenue 

Service on a 1099 form by the BLM. 

(2) Vehicle and identification 

information, if provided by the SFP 

permittee, is provided to BLM law 

enforcement officials to support 

enforcement of permit stipulations and 

requirements. Contact information 

(name, address) is printed on each 

permit and is useful to identify the 

uniqueness of a permittee.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, 

RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING AND

DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

STORAGE: 

Paper records are stored in file 

folders, in locked file cabinets until data 

input is verified. Any paper records that 

are not input into the system are 

maintained in secured files. Electronic 

records are stored on disk, system hard 

drive, tape or other appropriate media. 

RETRIEVABILITY: 

Indexed by system-generated 

identifiers, an assigned number is used 

to retrieve SFP permit number, 

purchaser, contractor and dates. An 

existing purchaser may be located by 

entering a portion (or all) of the 

individual’s contact information (name, 

address, this may include a phone 

number if it was provided) and 

reviewing the list of individuals 

matching the search criteria. The search 

functionality for timber sales allows 

users to browse lists of timber sales, 

purchasers, and sureties. 

SAFEGUARDS: 

Access to records is limited to 

authorized personnel. Electronic records 

are maintained with safeguards meeting 

security requirements of 43 CFR 2.51. 

A security plan was developed to 

prevent unauthorized access to the 

system and secure transmission of the 

data. A Privacy Impact Assessment was 

completed and signed in January 2008. 

(1) Physical Security—Information is 

collected in person from a purchaser(s) 

physically present at a BLM facility or 

from an authorized BLM Contracting 

Officer. The data is entered into SFP– 

Web by an authorized BLM employee or 

contractor. These forms are only 

available on the BLM intranet and are 

not available to the public on any Web 

site. Any paper records that are not 

input into the system are maintained in 

locked file cabinets. 

(2) Technical Security—TSIS users are 

granted access to the TSIS application 

via the district TSIS data steward. The 

request for access must be signed by the 

TSIS data steward (ORSO) and IT 

Security Manager (ORSO) and 

passwords are required. The SFP Users 

are granted access to the TSIS–Web 

application by the district TSIS data 

steward. SCID Users are granted access 

to the SCID module Web application by 

the State office or district SCID data 

steward. The request for access must be 

signed by the TSIS data steward (ORSO) 

or SCID data steward, and IT Security 

Manager (ORSO). Data from the current 

TSIS (Unix-based) version are integrated 

into a data warehouse with the new 

TSIS–Web version and the SCID Web 

module each night. The data is 

unloaded from the TSIS (Informix) 

database to a local directory where the 

system developer and system 

administrators have access. This data is 

then loaded into a new database 

(MySQL) on another server where the 

TSIS–Web data also resides. The 

integration of data sources excludes the 

identification provided by the permittee 

(for the 5450–24 permit), but does 

include permittee name, address, phone 

(if provided), and vehicle information 

(where provided). The TSIS data 

warehouse database is only available to 

the system developer, and information 

from this database is available to BLM 

users only via read-only reports. Most 

reports that are available from the 

warehouse data do not contain 

Personally Identifiable Information (PII). 

Of the few reports (6 total) that do 

contain PII, only four contain more than 

first/last name. Only users with access 

to the BLM intranet, authenticated BLM 

domain users, who are also members of 

the TSIS group in Active Directory, are 

able to retrieve these reports. These 

electronic records are maintained in 

compliance with Office of Management 

and Budget and Departmental 

guidelines. 

(3) Administrative Security—All BLM 

employees with access to the system are 

required to complete Privacy Act, 

Records Management Act, and IT 

Security Awareness training prior to 

being given access to the system, and on 

an annual basis thereafter. The Rules of 

Behavior are in accordance with the 

BLM policy that requires the signature 

of all BLM Network users. Applicable 

Privacy Act warning statements are 

placed on all information printouts of 

data from the system. 

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: 

Records are retained and disposed of 

in accordance with National Archives 

and Records Administration (NARA) 

procedures and General Records 

Schedule (GRS) BLM 4/6d(4) and (6). 

Records are to be destroyed or deleted 

when data has been transferred to an 

electronic medium and verified. 

However, due to the current freeze on 

the destruction/deletion of all records 

and the GRS/BLM records, all records 

are permanent until the freeze is lifted.
