###### International Trade Commission

# AGENCY:

United States International Trade Commission.

# ACTION:

Notice of new and modified systems of records.

# SUMMARY:

The Commission issues this notice to satisfy the Privacy Act's requirement to publish notice of the existence and character of records systems maintained by the Commission and of any new use or intended use of information in the Commission's systems of records.

The U.S. International Trade Commission (“Commission”) proposes to add the following four new systems of records: (1) Roster of Mediators. This system contains records of individuals selected as roster members to serve as potential mediators as part of the Commission's mediation program. Records in this system are used to identify potential mediators for participation in the Commission's mediation program. (2) Personnel Photograph Records. This system contains photographs of Commission personnel. Records in this system are used to enhance the security of the Commission's building, educate the public, assist Commission personnel in interfacing with customers and the public, and promote open and collaborative electronic communication with Commission personnel. (3) Employment Law Records. This system contains documents relating to employment law matters including adverse actions, grievances, unfair labor practice charges, civil actions against Commission employees in their official capacities, and employee claims. (4) Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act Records. This system contains correspondence and other documents relating to FOIA and Privacy Act requests and administrative appeals.

                        The Commission proposes to revise the following thirteen existing systems of records: (1) Pay and Leave Records. This system contains payroll and personnel information. These records are used for the purposes of administering pay and leave, activity accounting, and budget preparation, and are used to prepare related reports to other Federal agencies. (2) Grievance Records. This system contains records of grievances filed by Commission employees under 5 CFR part 771, 5 U.S.C. 7121, or under negotiated grievance procedures. (3) Telephone Call Detail Records. This system contains records relating to the location of Commission telephones, the assignment of telephone numbers to employees, the use of Commission mobile devices, and the use of Commission telephones to place long-distance telephone calls or facsimile transmissions. (4) Security Access Records. This system contains records relating to the assignment and use of electronic security keys at the Commission and records identifying visitors to the Commission building. (5) Personnel Security Investigative Files. This system contains personnel security investigative records pertaining to current and former employees, applicants for employment including interns and volunteers, and contractors, subcontractors, and consultants. The records in this system are used to make national security, suitability, fitness, and HSPD-12 credentialing determinations; provide a current record of Commission employees with security clearance(s); and provide access cards and keys to Commission buildings and offices. (6) Library Circulation Records. Records in this system pertain to individuals with borrowing privileges, who have borrowed materials from the Main Library. Records are used to locate Main Library materials in circulation and to control and inventory borrowed materials. (7) Parking and Mass Transit Subsidy Records. Records in this system pertain to individuals who participate in the Commission mass transit and car pool subsidy programs. These records are used to allocate and control agency-subsidized parking spaces and mass transit subsidies, assist in creating car pools, and ensure that employees qualify for subsidized parking spaces or mass transit subsidies. (8) Congressional Correspondence Records. Records in this system pertain to Members of Congress and their constituents. These records are used to respond to Congressional inquiries and inform                               ( print page 45047)                            Congress about Commission activities. (9) System Access Records. This system contains information pertaining to a computer user's access to Commission computers and other information technology resources. It also includes records relating to name, address, country, telephone number, fax number, email address, employer type, agency or firm name, the computer's Internet protocol addresses, and account number gathered while accessing the Commission's internet and intranet Web sites. (10) Administrative Protective Order Breach and Related Records. The records in this system are used to determine whether a person has breached an administrative protective order and/or should be sanctioned. The records relate to a person's name, firm, address, the basis for the investigation, the Commission's determinations with respect to the facts of the investigation, and any sanctions or other actions taken in response to the agency's determinations. (11) Import and Export Records. This system contains records relating to an importer's, exporter's, or producer's name, organization, title or position, business role, address, telephone number, electronic mail address, Web site address, and Dun's number, as well as quantity and value information on imports and exports. Some contact information is for the homes of individuals. (12) Telecommuting Program Records. Records in this system pertain to individuals who participate in the Commission telecommuting program. These records are used to administer the program and may be used to monitor employee compliance with telecommuting procedures. (13) Emergency Notification Records. These records are maintained to notify and identify Commission employees or their designees under emergency conditions.

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Under the Privacy Act of 1974 (“Privacy Act”), 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Commission proposes to add the description of four new systems of records and revise the descriptions of thirteen existing systems of records. The Commission invites interested persons to submit comments on the actions proposed in this notice.

The Commission proposes to add a new system of records entitled ITC-17 (Roster of Mediators). The Commission has established a mediation program for disputes brought pursuant to section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1337). The Commission will maintain a list of potential mediators and information on potential candidates which may include home and business addresses, telephone and facsimile numbers, electronic mail addresses, and certain financial information (for determinations concerning potential conflicts of interest).

The Commission proposes to add a new system of records entitled ITC-18 (Personnel Photograph Records). The Commission takes photographs of Commission personnel, including employees, Commissioners, and administrative law judges for such purposes as providing information to the public, promoting open and collaborative communication with Commission personnel, and ensuring physical security of agency office space. These photographs are maintained together with the names and titles of the pictured individuals.

The Commission proposes to add a new system of records entitled ITC-19 (Employment Law Records). This system will cover records maintained mostly in the Office of the General Counsel that pertain to employment law matters, including adverse actions, grievances, unfair labor practice charges, civil actions against Commission employees in their official capacities, and Equal Employment Opportunity and other employee claims.

The Commission proposes to add a new system of records entitled ITC-20 (Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act Records). This system will cover records pertaining to FOIA and Privacy Act requests and administrative appeals. These records are used to monitor, process, and track requests and appeals made under those statutes; support litigation arising from such requests and appeals; assign, process, and track FOIA workloads; and provide management information reports.

The Commission proposes to revise the system of records entitled ITC-1 (Pay & Leave Records) to clarify the location of the system, and to provide additional detail on the pay and personnel information contained in the system, such as by adding references to fitness service use logs and relocation expense authorizations and amounts. The Commission is also clarifying that the purpose of the system includes not only administering pay and leave, activity accounting, and budget preparation, but also preparing related reports to other Federal agencies. The Commission is also adding routine uses for the disclosure of information from this system in accordance with the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, for unemployment and health insurance purposes, for the collection of debts owed to the Federal Government, and to another Federal agency to which an employee has transferred.

                    The Commission proposes to revise the system of records entitled ITC-2 (Grievance Records) by expanding the purposes of the system to include ensuring consistent treatment of similarly situated individuals. As revised, this system will cover records of grievances filed by employees that are                           ( print page 45048)                        maintained in the Office of Administrative Services and in the office where the grievance originated.                

The Commission proposes to revise the system of records entitled ITC-5 (Telephone Call Detail Records) to include records pertaining to the assignment and use of Commission mobile devices and to update the description of the retrievability of records in the system to include by name and mobile device number.

The Commission proposes to revise the system of records entitled ITC-6 (Security Access Records) to clarify the location of the system, to provide additional detail on the security key records contained in the system, to update references to visitor records contained in the system, and to clarify that the purpose of the system is to restrict and authorize physical access to Commission facilities.

The Commission proposes to revise the system of records entitled ITC-7 (Personnel Security Investigative Files) to clarify the location of the system, to expand the purpose of the system to include making suitability, fitness, and HSPD-12 credentialing determinations, to expand the categories of covered individuals to include interns and volunteers, to provide additional detail on the categories of records in the system, to expand the description of the retrievability of records to include by Social Security number, and to add routine uses for disclosures to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and to enable intelligence agencies to carry out their responsibilities under certain authorities.

The Commission proposes to revise the system of records entitled ITC-8 (Library Circulation Records) to cover additional individuals with borrowing privileges from the Main Library, such as contractors.

The Commission proposes to revise the system of records entitled ITC-9 (Parking and Mass Transit Subsidy Records) to clarify the location of the system, to provide additional detail on the categories of records contained in the system, and to expand the description of the retrievability of records in the system to include by parking permit number.

The Commission proposes to revise the system of records entitled ITC-11 (Congressional Correspondence Records) to clarify the location of the system, to add constituents of Members of Congress to the categories of individuals covered by the system, to clarify the categories of records contained in the system, to expand the description of the retrievability of records in the system to include by the name of the Chairman of a Congressional committee or subcommittee, to add a routine use for disclosure to the National Archives and Records Administration or General Services Administration for records management purposes, to add a routine use for disclosure to agency contractors and others engaged to assist the agency with an activity necessitating access to this system, and to add a routine use for disclosure to the public through the Commission's Web site.

The Commission proposes to rename the system of records ITC-12 (Computer Access Records) to ITC-12 (System Access Records). The Commission proposes to revise this system of records to clarify the categories of covered individuals and to add additional details to the categories and description of the retrievability of records in the system to reflect current practice.

The Commission proposes to revise the system of records entitled ITC-13 (Administrative Protective Order Breach and Related Records) to clarify the location of the system, to expand the description of the retrievability of records in the system to include by administrative protective order breach identification number, and to modify an existing routine use to permit disclosure of information to other persons subject to the same breach investigation of whether there is good cause to sanction persons under 19 CFR 201.15.

The Commission proposes to revise the system of records entitled ITC-14 (Import and Export Records) to include in the categories of information in the system that some contact information is for residential addresses of individuals and add routine uses for disclosure to representatives of parties to investigations under judicial protective order and to certain tribunals and U.S. courts.

The Commission proposes to revise the system of records entitled ITC-15 (Telecommuting Program Records) to clarify the location of the system and the categories of records in the system.

The Commission proposes to revise the system of records entitled ITC-16 (Emergency Notification Records) to clarify the categories of records in the system.

The Commission proposes to revise all systems of records to add data elements provided for in the Document Drafting Handbook of the Office of the Federal Register, to provide more detail on the safeguards used to protect information, and to make additional clarifying changes. Where necessary, addresses are being changed to reflect the Commission's current organization and its arrangements with contractors, records retention and disposal practices are being updated, and a requirement is being removed so that a requester will no longer need to provide a date of birth when making an inquiry or requesting an amendment to a record in any system.

By Memorandum M-07-16, “Safeguarding Against and Responding to the Breach of Personally Identifiable Information,” OMB called on agencies to publish a routine use for the disclosure of information in connection with response and remedial efforts in the event of a data breach. On January 3, 2017, OMB issued Memorandum M-17-12, which updated breach notification policies and guidelines, rescinded M-07-16, and directed agencies to include two routine uses in each agency SORN to facilitate agencies' response to breaches of their own records and to ensure that agencies are able to disclose records that may reasonably be needed by another agency in responding to a breach. These new routine uses will serve to protect the interest of the individual or individuals whose information is at issue by allowing agencies to take steps to facilitate a timely and effective response to the breach. Accordingly, the Commission proposes to add these new routine uses, applicable to all Commission systems of records, to authorize the disclosure, in the event of a suspected or confirmed breach, to certain agencies, entities, and persons of information maintained in the systems.

The Commission also proposes to clarify that an existing routine use, applicable to many Commission systems of records, permits disclosure of records to and use by the Department of Justice in litigation under certain circumstances.

The Commission also proposes to clarify that an existing general routine use permitting disclosure to agency contractors and Federal agencies providing services to the Commission also allows disclosure when information security services are being provided.

Attachment A is a list of the general routine uses applicable to more than one system of records.

Attachment B is an updated list of the government-wide systems of records, noticed by other agencies, applicable to the Commission.

                    As required by subsection 552a(r) of the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a(r)), the proposed revisions will be reported to the Office of Management and Budget, the Chair of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the House of Representatives, and the Chair of the Committee on Homeland                           ( print page 45049)                        Security and Governmental Affairs of the Senate.

These exemptions are established in the Commission rules at 19 CFR 201.32. During the course of monitoring, processing, and tracking individuals' requests and administrative appeals, exempt materials from other systems of records may be incorporated into this system. To the extent that copies of exempt records from other systems of records are entered into this system, the Commission claims the same exemptions for those records that are claimed for the original primary system of records from which they originated.
