Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: Office of Environmental Information, Environmental Protection 
Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of a Modified System of Records.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974, the 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is giving notice that it is 
amending the system of record for the National Enforcement Training 
Institute (NETI) Online learning management system. The SORN is being 
amended to change the system name from NETI Online to the NETI 
eLearning Center and to change the system location from the Office of 
Criminal Enforcement to NETI in the Office of Compliance (the NETI 
division). The NETI eLearning Center is used by Federal, State, Local, 
and Tribal environmental enforcement and compliance personnel for 
online distance learning. The NETI eLearning Center maintains 
registration information of internal and external users and records of 
training attendance and completion.

DATES: Persons wishing to comment on this system of records notice must 
do so by August 14, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
OE1-2015-0201, by one of the following methods:

    Hand Delivery: OEI Docket, EPA/DC, WJC West Building, Room 3334, 
1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC. Such deliveries are only 
accepted during the docket's normal hours of operation, and special 
arrangements should be made for deliveries.
    Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OEl-
2015-0201. The EPA's policy is that all comments received will be 
included in the public docket without change and may be made available 
online at www.regulations.gov, including any personal information 
provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be 
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information for which 
disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you 
consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through www.regulations.gov. 
The www.regulations.gov Web site is an ``anonymous access'' system, 
which means the EPA will not know your identity or contact information 
unless you provide it in the body of your comment. If you send an email 
comment directly to the EPA without going through www.regulations.gov 
your email address will be automatically captured and included as part 
of the comment that is placed in the public docket and made available 
on the Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, the EPA 
recommends that you include your name and other contact information in 
the body of your comment, and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If 
the EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties and 
cannot contact you for clarification, the EPA may not be able to 
consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid the use of special 
characters, any form of encryption, and be free of any defects or 
viruses. For additional information about the EPA's public docket visit 
the EPA Docket Center homepage at: http://www.epa.gov/epahome/dockets.htm.
    Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the 
www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some 
information is not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other information 
for which disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, 
such as copyrighted material, will be publicly available only in hard 
copy. Publicly available docket materials are available either 
electronically at www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at the OEI 
Docket, EPA/DC. WJC West Building, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. 
NW., Washington, DC. The Public Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to

Enforcement Training Institute in the Office of Compliance in OECA. The
