SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Department of the Interior (DOI), 

Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), 

maintains the ‘‘Trust Asset and 

Accounting Management System— 

Interior, BIA–04,’’ system of records. 

The purpose of this system is to provide 

BIA and Tribal users access to trust 

asset data and trust asset management 

tools to create, modify, and maintain 

records relating to land ownership, 

contracts and leases, and beneficial 

owners. The amendments to the system 

will include updating the system 

location, categories of individuals 

covered by the system, categories of 

records in the system, authority for 

maintenance of the system, storage, 

safeguards, retention and disposal, 

system manager and address, 

notification procedures, records access 

and contesting procedures, records 

source categories, and updating the 

routine uses to include activities related 

to land consolidation of fractionated 

lands. This system notice was last 

published in the Federal Register on 

February 27, 2007, 72 FR 8772–8776. 

The amendments to the system will 

be effective as proposed at the end of 

the comment period (the comment 

period will end 40 days after the 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register), unless comments are received 

which would require a contrary 

determination. DOI will publish a 

revised notice if changes are made based 

upon a review of the comments 

received. 

II. Privacy Act 

The Privacy Act of 1974, as amended 

(5 U.S.C. 552a), embodies fair 

information practice principles in a 

statutory framework governing the 

means by which Federal Agencies 

collect, maintain, use, and disseminate 

individuals’ personal information. The 

Privacy Act applies to records about 

individuals that are maintained in a 

‘‘system of records.’’ A ‘‘system of 

records’’ is a group of any records under 

the control of an agency for which 

information is retrieved by the name of 

an individual or by some identifying 

number, symbol, or other identifying 

particular assigned to the individual. In 

the Privacy Act, an individual is defined 

as a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent 

resident. As a matter of policy, DOI 

extends administrative Privacy Act 

protections to all individuals. 

Individuals may request access to their 

own records that are maintained in a 

system of records in the possession or 

under the control of DOI by complying 

with DOI Privacy Act regulations, 43 

CFR part 2. 

The Privacy Act requires each agency 

to publish in the Federal Register a 

description denoting the type and 

character of each system of records that 

the agency maintains, the routine uses 

that are contained in each system in 

order to make agency record keeping 

practices transparent, to notify 

individuals regarding the uses of their 

records, and to assist individuals to 

more easily find such records within the 

agency. Below is the description of the 

Bureau of Indian Affairs, Trust Asset 

and Accounting Management System— 

Interior, BIA–04, system of records. 

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), 

DOI has provided a report of this system 

of records to the Office of Management 

and Budget and to Congress. 

III. Public Disclosure 

Before including your address, phone 

number, email address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: 

TAAMS is the system of record for 

title and land resource management of 

Indian Trust and Restricted Land within 

the Department of the Interior (DOI) and 

the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). 

TAAMS provides DOI and Tribal users 

access to trust asset data and trust asset 

management tools to create, modify and 

maintain records for land ownership, 

contracts, leases, and beneficial owners. 

TAAMS functionalities include title, 

leasing, accounting and reporting 

modules to maintain and track land title 

documents, contracts, right of way, 

revenue distributions, invoicing, 

collections, acquisitions, legal details 

relating to land transactions, receipt and 

distribution of trust funds, title status, 

owner inventory, chain of title, and oil 

and gas royalty distributions. TAAMS 

also supports DOI land consolidation 

activities, and provides an interface to 

Trust Funds Accounting System 

(TFAS), an accounting system used to 

meet DOI’s fiduciary trust 

responsibilities to manage the receipt, 

investment, and disbursement of monies 

held in trust for individual Indians, 

Alaskan Natives, and Tribes. 

In addition to those disclosures 

generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 

552a(b) of the Privacy Act, all or a

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, 

RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING AND

DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

STORAGE: 

Paper records are maintained in file 

folders stored in file cabinets, and 

electronic records are maintained in 

password-protected systems, removable 

drives, computer servers, email and 

databases, and on media such as 

magnetic disk, diskette, compact discs 

and computer tapes. 

RETRIEVABILITY: 

Records are retrieved using either: (a) 

An identifier linked to a parcel; (b) an 

identifier for a property interest owner, 

such as name, Social Security number, 

tribe, tribal enrollment number, or 

census number; or (c) identifiers linked 

to encumbrances on ownership such as 

mortgages and rights-of-way. 

SAFEGUARDS: 

Records are maintained in accordance 

with 43 CFR 2.226 and other applicable 

security and privacy policies and 

standards. Access to records is provided 

on a need-to-know basis only. During 

working hours, paper records are 

maintained in locked file cabinets under 

the control of authorized personnel. 

Electronic records are safeguarded by 

permissions set to ‘‘Authenticated 

Users’’ which requires password login. 

The computer servers in which records 

are stored are located at a secured 

Department of the Interior and 

contractor facilities. Access to servers is 

granted to authorized personnel with 

the requisite security clearance and is 

based on business necessity in the 

performance of official duties. The 

Security Plan addresses the 

Department’s Privacy Act safeguard 

requirements for Privacy Act systems at 

43 CFR 2.226. A Privacy Impact 

Assessment was conducted to ensure 

that Privacy Act safeguard requirements 

are met. The assessment verified that 

appropriate controls and safeguards are 

in place. Personnel authorized to access 

the system must complete all Security, 

Privacy, and Records Management 

training and sign the Rules of Behavior.
