                AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation, Interior.
                ACTION: Notice of a modified system of records.
                -----------------------------------------------------------------------
                SUMMARY: Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974, as
                amended, the Department of the Interior proposes to consolidate ten
                existing Bureau of Reclamation Privacy Act systems of records related
                to land and realty management files into the modified and retitled
                Bureau of Reclamation system of records, ``INTERIOR/Reclamation-14,
                Land and Realty Program.'' This system of records administers the
                Bureau of Reclamation inventory of all land, facilities, and
                waterbodies under Reclamation's jurisdiction. The Bureau of Reclamation
                is proposing to add new routine uses, modify existing routine uses to
                provide clarification, and update all sections of the notice to reflect
                the expanded scope of the modified system. This modified system will be
                included in the Department of the Interior's inventory of record
                systems.
                DATES: This modified system will be effective upon publication. New or
                modified routine uses will be effective October 30, 2019. Submit
                comments on or before October 30, 2019.
                ADDRESSES: You may send comments identified by docket number [DOI-2019-

                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
                I. Background
                 The Department of the Interior (DOI), Bureau of Reclamation
                (Reclamation) manages a land and realty program that includes records
                maintained on individuals covered by ten systems of records notices:
                 (1) INTERIOR/WBR-14, Land Exchange;
                 (2) INTERIOR/WBR-15, Land Settlement Entries;
                 (3) INTERIOR/WBR-17, Lands--Leases, Sales, Rentals, and Transfers;
                 (4) INTERIOR/WBR-19, Mineral Location Entries;
                 (5) INTERIOR/WBR-22, Oil and Gas Applications;
                 (6) INTERIOR/WBR-28, Real Property and Right-of-Way Acquisitions;
                 (7) INTERIOR/WBR-29, Right-of-Way Applications;
                 (8) INTERIOR/WBR-32, Special Use Applications, Licenses, and
                Permits;
                 (9) INTERIOR/WBR-41, Permits; and
                 (10) INTERIOR/WBR-43, Real Estate Comparable Sales Data Storage.
                 During a review of these notices, Reclamation determined that these
                systems contained duplicative content and were managed by one system
                manager in the land and realty program. In an effort to streamline land
                and realty program functions, improve consistency, eliminate
                duplicative content and promote transparency, Reclamation is proposing
                to consolidate the ten systems of records into the INTERIOR/WBR-14,
                Land Exchange, system and change the title to ``INTERIOR/Reclamation-
                14, Land and Realty Program'' to reflect the purpose and scope of the
                modified system. This modified system will help Reclamation manage land
                and realty program activities and maintain an inventory of all land,
                facilities, and waterbodies under Reclamation's jurisdiction. The
                system of records will include the following land and realty actions:
                use authorization management; land settlement records; sales;
                transfers; disposals; mineral location entries, mining claims; oil and
                gas applications; real property and right-of-way acquisitions; real
                property interest applications; and status of land interests held for
                project purposes. The ten Reclamation system of records notices listed
                above will remain in effect until the proposed routine uses outlined in
                this notice become effective. Reclamation will subsequently rescind the
                other nine notices.
                 This notice reorganizes the sections and updates section titles in
                accordance with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-
                108, ``Federal Agency Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, and
                Publication under the Privacy Act.'' Additionally, Reclamation is
                modifying all existing routine uses to provide clarity and
                transparency. Routine use A was modified to further clarify disclosures
                to the Department of Justice or other Federal agencies when necessary
                in relation to litigation or judicial proceedings. Routine uses B, D,
                and E have been modified to provide additional clarification on
                external organizations and circumstances where disclosures are
                compatible with the purpose of the system or are proper and necessary
                to administer an internal program to manage a thorough inventory of all
                land, facilities, and waterbodies under Reclamation's jurisdiction.
                 Modified routine use J and proposed routine use K allow Reclamation
                to share information with appropriate Federal agencies or entities when
                reasonably necessary to respond to a breach of personally identifiable
                information and to prevent, minimize, or remedy the risk of harm to
                individuals or the Federal Government, or assist an agency in locating
                individuals affected by a breach in accordance with OMB Memorandum M-
                17-12, ``Preparing for and Responding to a Breach of Personally
                Identifiable Information.''
                 Proposed routine uses C, F, G, H, I, and L through R facilitate
                sharing of information with agencies and organizations to ensure the
                efficient management of all land, facilities, and waterbodies under
                Reclamation's jurisdiction, promote the integrity of the records in the
                system, or carry out a statutory responsibility of Reclamation or the
                Federal Government. Proposed routine use C facilitates sharing of
                information with the Executive Office of the President to resolve
                issues concerning individual's records. Routine use F allows
                Reclamation to share information with agencies when relevant for hiring
                and retention, or issuance of security clearance, license, contract,
                grant or benefit. Routine use G allows Reclamation to share information
                with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to conduct
                records management inspections. Routine use H allows Reclamation to
                share information with external entities, such as state, territorial
                and local governments, and tribal organizations needed in response to
                court orders and/or for discovery purposes related to litigation.
                Routine use I allows Reclamation to share information with an expert,
                consultant, grantee, or contractor (including employees of the
                contractor) of DOI that performs services requiring access to these
                records on DOI's behalf to carry out the purposes of the system.
                Routine use L allows Reclamation to share information with the OMB
                during the coordination and clearance process in connection with
                legislative affairs. Routine use M allows Reclamation to share
                information with the Department of the Treasury to recover debts owed
                to the United States. Routine use N allows Reclamation to share
                information with the news media and the public if there is a legitimate
                public interest in the disclosure of the information. Routine use O
                allows Reclamation to share information with a Federal agency, state,
                or local government to transfer administration of the land for
                transmission of power, recreation, fish and wildlife activities, and
                other purposes as required. Routine use P allows Reclamation to share
                information with local county governments to transmit deeds and record
                ownership data. Routine use Q allows Reclamation to share information
                with appropriate irrigation districts to furnish a copy of a deed in
                order to advise of an available right-of-way for operating the
                irrigation system. Routine use R allows Reclamation to share
                information with DOJ in order to obtain a title opinion.
                II. Privacy Act
                 The Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 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
                [[Page 51616]]
                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. The Privacy Act defines an individual as a United
                States citizen or lawful permanent resident. 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 at 43 CFR part 2, subpart K, and following the
                procedures outlined in the Records Access, Contesting Record, and
                Notification Procedures sections of this notice.
                 The Privacy Act requires each agency to publish in the Federal
                Register a description denoting the existence and character of each
                system of records that the agency maintains and the routine uses of
                each system. The revised INTERIOR/Reclamation-14, Land and Realty
                Program, system of records notice is published in its entirety below.
                In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), DOI has provided a report of this
                system of records to OMB and Congress.

                is determined that release of the specific information in the context
                of a particular case would constitute an unwarranted invasion of
                personal privacy.
                 O. To another Federal agency, state, or local government to

                 Land and realty program records are managed securely at Reclamation
                offices. Paper records are contained in file folders stored in locked
                file cabinets at secured Reclamation facilities. Electronic records are
                contained in removable drives, computers, email, and electronic
                databases.
                POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF RECORDS:
                 Records are retrieved by the individual's name, legal parcel, land
                description which identifies property characteristics, or contract

                POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND DISPOSAL OF RECORDS:
                 Records in this system are currently maintained in accordance with

                are maintained either at the office of record or transferred to the
                Federal Records Center or NARA when volume warrants.
                 A new Department Records Schedule (DRS) has been submitted to the
                NARA and is pending approval. Once NARA approves the DRS the records
                related to this system, records will be maintained in accordance with
                the following DRS: 2.1.4.13 Natural and Cultural Resources
                Environmental Land and National Environmental Policy Act, 10 years;
                2.2.3.18 Sustainably Manage Land Use, 25 years; 2.2.3.19 Sustainably
                Manage Land Use, Recreation and Planning--Management Plans and Reports,
                permanent; and 2.2.4.23 Sustainably Manage Water, permanent. These
                record schedules cover transactions on case files documenting
                correspondence, memorandums, email and other documentation containing
                contracts, deeds, and other supporting papers documenting the use
                authorization, sale, delivery, transfer, exchange, and disposal of land
                or water in which payment is required. This also includes documentation
                related to settlement and land entries as well as use authorization
                applications including licenses, and permits issued to Reclamation or
                by Reclamation. File closures vary and will fall under one of these
                methods: (1) Files are closed after unconditional sale or release by
                the Government restrictions (mortgages or other liens), transfer,
                exchange, or disposal of Reclamation land interest; (2) Files are
                closed after termination of said transaction or when no longer needed
                for reference, whichever is earlier; and (3) Some files are closed at
                the end of each calendar year or when the individual's permit expires
                or the termination of a contract.
                 Paper records are disposed of by shredding or pulping, and records
                contained on electronic media format are degaussed or erased in
                accordance with the applicable records retention schedule, 384
                Department Manual 1, and NARA guidelines.
                ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL SAFEGUARDS:
                 The records contained in this system are safeguarded in accordance
                with 43 CFR 2.226 and other applicable security rules and policies.
                Records are accessible only by authorized DOI employees, and other
                Federal Government agencies and contractors who have contractual
                agreements with Reclamation to conduct activities related to land and
                realty. During normal hours of operation, paper records are secured in
                locked file cabinets under the control of authorized personnel.
                Computers and servers on which electronic records are stored are
                located in secured DOI and/or contractor facilities with physical,
                technical, and administrative levels of security such as access codes,
                security codes, and security guards, to prevent unauthorized access to
                the DOI network and information assets. Access to DOI networks and data
                requires a valid username and password, and is limited to DOI personnel
                and/or contractors who have a need to know of the information for the
                performance of their official duties. Access to contractor's networks
                and data requires restricted access limited to authorized personnel.
                Computerized records systems follow the National Institute of Standards
                and Technology privacy and security standards as developed to comply

                Standard 199, Standards for Security Categorization of Federal
                Information and Information Systems. Security controls include user
                identification, passwords, database permissions, encryption, firewalls,
                audit logs, and network system security monitoring, and software
                controls. System administrators and authorized personnel are trained
                and required to follow established internal security protocols and must
                complete all security, privacy, and records management training and
                sign the DOI Rules of Behavior.
