SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Interior Uniform Relocation Assistance 
Program Records system will contain information from individuals and 
businesses displaced as a result of Federal real estate acquisition for 
the purpose of determining the amount of their relocation benefit. The 
system will contain information about the individual claimant, 
residential moving costs, replacement housing payments, down payments 
and incidental expenses for residential relocations; and information 
about business claimants, nonresidential moving costs, nonresidential 
direct loss of personal property; and relocation and reestablishment 
expenses for nonresidential relocations. For residential relocations, 
the information collected will include the name, social security 
number, address, and phone number of the claimant, occupancy status, 
dwelling type, number of rooms, names, gender, relationship and age of 
all household members, relocated address and date of relocation, 
replacement housing or rental payments including moving cost, storage 
costs,

[[Page 55126]]

and advance payments received, average household monthly income, 
incidental expenses including legal and closing costs, title search 
fee, notary fee, recording and surveying fees, transfer taxes, home 
inspection fee, and computation of relocation benefit. For 
nonresidential relocations, the information collected will include the 
name, social security number or tax identification number, address and 
phone number of the claimant, the type of business, type of ownership, 
citizenship status, dates of business operation, replacement business 
address, moving, storage and search expenses, direct loss of personal 
property as a result of the move or discontinuing the business, 
reestablishment expenses, and computation of relocation benefit. 
Collection of data will be by claim for relocation payment application 
forms submitted by a displaced person or business. This new system of 
records notice 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.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, 
AND DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
STORAGE:
    Records are maintained in manual files. The Forms DI-381 and DI-382 
are maintained in paper form because of the need to have actual 
signatures. Electronic records where applicable will generally contain 
only ancillary data such as e-mail communications pertaining to the 
actual system of records, which is a paper system. Such ancillary 
electronic records are stored on magnetic media at the various computer 
processing centers. Manual file documents are stored in standard office 
filing equipment in locked rooms.

RETRIEVABILITY:
    Records are indexed by Bureau assigned project numbers and 
individual or business name, as applicable.

SAFEGUARDS:
    Uniform Relocation Assistance Program Records are maintained with 
safeguards meeting the requirements of 43 CFR 2.51 for manual and 
computerized records. Access to records is limited to authorized 
personnel whose official duties require such access.
    (1) Physical Security: Paper records are maintained in locked file 
cabinets and/or in secured rooms in Federal government offices with 
appropriate security measures meeting Departmental guidelines. 
Electronic ancillary records are on secure servers with appropriate 
firewalls, passwords, and IT security complying with Departmental 
policies and procedures.
    (2) Technical Security: Ancillary electronic records are maintained 
in conformity with Office of Management and Budget and Departmental 
guidelines reflecting the implementation of the Federal Information 
Security Management Act. Electronic data is protected through user 
identification, passwords, database permissions and software controls. 
These security measures establish different degrees of access for 
different types of users. An audit trail is maintained and reviewed 
periodically to identify unauthorized access.
    (3) Administrative Security: All DOI and contractor employees with 
access to Interior Uniform Relocation Assistance Program Records are 
required to complete Privacy Act, Federal Records Act, and Security 
Awareness training prior to being given access to the system, and on an 
annual basis, thereafter.

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:
    Records are retained and disposed of in accordance with General 
Records Schedule 3, Item 1, and in accordance with specific Bureau 
record schedules, Bureau of Land Management Schedule 30, Item 1, Bureau 
of Reclamation Class Code LND-3.00, National Park Service Schedule L14,
