SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FMCSA uses SAFETYNET to share records 
maintained in the Motor Carrier Information Management System (MCMIS) 
with FMCSA field offices and state and local law enforcement officials. 
These records contain information on companies and drivers of 
commercial motor vehicles and shipping and freight-forwarding companies 
registered with FMCSA. In addition, some state and or local law 
enforcement entities may maintain complaint records in their local 
versions of SAFETYNET, however those records are not federal records 
and are outside the bounds of the Department's Privacy Act notices. 
FMCSA does not maintain complaint information in SAFETYNET. MCMIS is 
the authoritative system of records for these records and is covered by 
the Privacy Act system of records notice DOT/FMCSA-001, Motor Carrier 
Information Management System. All records in SAFETYNET are inputs to 
or duplicate copies of MCMIS records subject to the DOT/FMCSA-001 
system of records notice, therefore a separate notice is not required. 
Records transmitted to MCMIS via SAFETYNET and the authoritative copy 
received from MCMIS will continue to be updated on a daily basis. The 
rescindment of this notice ensures that the Department applies the fair 
information practice principles and Privacy Act protections afforded by 
the MCMIS notice in a consistent manner.

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:
    DOT/FMCSA 006, SAFETYNET.

HISTORY:
    71 FR 35727, June 21, 2006.
