DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, DOE.

ACTION: Notice of modified system of records.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is modifying the systems of 
records listed in this notice to incorporate two new routine uses 
related to the breach of personally identifiable information (PII) 
pursuant to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Memorandum M-17-
12. The first routine use deals with the breach of FERC's records, and 
the second addresses the disclosure of FERC's records to assist other 
agencies in their efforts to respond to a breach of their own records.

DATES: Please submit comments on or before July 11, 2022. These new 
routine uses are effective July 11, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Any person interested in commenting on the establishment of 
these Privacy Act Breach Routine Uses may do so by submitting comments 
electronically to: [email protected] (include a reference to ``Privacy 
Act Breach Routine Uses'' in the subject line of the message.)

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mittal Desai, Chief Information 
Officer & Senior Agency Official for Privacy, Office of the Executive 
Director, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, 
Washington, DC 20426, (202) 502-6432.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 3, 2017, the Office of Management 
and Budget issued Memorandum 17-12, Preparing for and Responding to a 
Breach of Personally Identifiable Information, to the heads of all 
executive departments and agencies. Among other things, this memorandum 
requires the addition of routine uses to ensure that agencies are able 
to disclose records or information in their systems of records in 
response to an actual or suspected breach of its own records or to 
assist other agencies in their efforts to respond to a breach of their 
own records. FERC is, therefore, proposing the addition of two new 
routine uses. Unless this or other published notice expressly provides 
otherwise, these two routines uses apply to all FERC Privacy Act system 
of records listed in this notice. These routine uses supplement but do 
not replace any routine uses that are separately published in the 
specific individual System of Records Notice (SORN). These proposed 
routine uses are compatible with the purpose for which each of the 
records or information was collected.

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:
    First, the systems of records to be modified by including the two 
new routine uses described in this Notice are set forth below. As these 
two routine uses are additional new routine uses, please refer to the 
specific individual SORN for other routine uses unchanged by this 
notice. Second, please refer to the specific individual SORN for 
additional governing elements unchanged by this notice. Finally, please 
note that FERC SORNs omitted from this table have already incorporated 
the two new routine uses described in this notice.

determines that information from this system of records is reasonably
