SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Privacy Act applies to information about individuals that may be retrieved by a unique identifier associated with each individual, such as a name or social security number. The information about each individual is called a ``record''' and the system, whether manual or computer-driven, is called a ``system of records.'' A system is considered altered whenever certain fundamental changes are made to the system, such as whenever certain disclosures, called ``routine uses,'' are changed. U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-130, Appendix I specifies periodic reviews of Privacy Act systems of records. In accordance with the reviews specified in Circular A-130, Appendix I, the FDIC has conducted a thorough review of FDIC's systems of records for accuracy and completeness. The FDIC has specifically considered changes in technology, function, and organization that may have rendered existing systems of records notices out-of-date and reviewed the routine uses published in the system notices to make sure they are necessary and compatible with the purposes for which the information is collected. Pursuant to that review, the FDIC hereby publishes this notice of amended, altered and consolidated systems of records. In its review, the FDIC has determined that two of its systems of records should be consolidated and that the remaining twenty-one systems notices require either technical and/or substantive revision.

Many of the revisions to existing systems of records reflected by this notice are minor, technical amendments necessitated by organizational changes within the FDIC. The location of various systems and the FDIC divisions or offices responsible for the maintenance of various systems have been updated to reflect these changes. Also, minor revisions have been made to clarify or more accurately describe various system elements and to insure the use of consistent language wherever possible.

The FDIC has identified two systems of records which should be consolidated (system 30-64-0009, Examiner Training and Education Records--FDIC and system 30-64-0007, Employee Education System--FDIC). Each system contains information about the educational and training course history of certain categories of employees. For reasons of efficiency, these systems are consolidated as system 30-64-0007, and the system name is changed to ``Employee Training Information Records.''

Additional substantive revisions to FDIC systems of records notices are as follows:

A statement of the purpose(s) for maintaining each system of records is added to each system notice.
The ``Contesting record procedures'' section included in each system notice is amended to provide that individuals wishing to amend or contest information in the system should indicate the information being contested, the reason for contesting it, and the proposed revision to the information.
The ``Notification procedure'' of each system notice has been updated to provide that individuals requesting their own records must provide a notarized statement attesting to their identity.
A routine use presently included in sixteen system notices (30- 64-0001, -0002, -0005, -0006, -0008, -0010, -0011, -0012, -0013, -0016, -0018, -0019, -0020, -0022, -0023 and -0024) regarding disclosure of information to courts, magistrates or administrative tribunals in connection with civil or criminal proceedings is amended to limit disclosure to instances when the FDIC is a party to the proceeding or has a significant interest in the proceeding and the information is determined to be relevant and necessary. This routine use has also been added to two systems, 30-64-0003 and -0017 as further detailed in the notices below.
A statement entitled ``Disclosures to consumer reporting agencies'' providing that ``information, pursuant to subsection (b)(12) of the Privacy Act, may be disclosed to consumer reporting agencies in accordance with 31 U.S.C. 3711(e)'' is added to five systems (30-64- 0002, -0007, -0010, -0012, and -0022) and updated in one other system (30-64-0020). The update is to reference 31 U.S.C. 3711(e), thereby tracking the language of subsection (b)(12) of the Privacy Act and to note limitations on the disclosures. (Individuals are referred to 31 U.S.C. 3701(a)(3) and 15 U.S.C. 1681a(f) for a definition of the term ``consumer reporting agency.'') The purpose of these disclosures is to provide an incentive for debtors to the FDIC to repay debts to the FDIC by making these debts part of their credit records. Disclosure of records will be limited to the individual's name, Social Security number, and other information necessary to establish the identity of the individual, and the existence, validity, amount, status and history of the debt.
A routine use providing that information may be disclosed to debt collection agents, to any appropriate Federal agency, or to other third parties who are authorized to collect a Federal debt for the purpose of collecting delinquent debts due to the FDIC is added to six systems (30-64-0002, -0007, -0010, -0012, -0020 and -0022). The purpose of this disclosure is to implement relevant portions of the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996. Disclosure of records will be limited to the individual's name, Social Security number, and other information necessary to establish the identity of the individual, and the existence, validity, amount, status and history of the debt.
A routine use providing that information may be disclosed to consultants and contractors to the extent that the information is relevant and necessary for them to perform their function or fulfill their contract is added to twelve systems (30-64-0003, -0004, -0005, - 0007, -0008, -0010, -0011, -0012, -0016, -0018, -0019 and -0020). The routine use contains the proviso that those consultants and contractors are subject to the relevant provisions of the Privacy Act.
The ``Safeguards'' subsection of all system notices with records stored in electronic media is amended to state that records so stored are now password protected and accessible only by authorized personnel.
A ``Note'' is added to system 30-64-0001 (Attorney-Legal Intern Applicant Records) to provide for future record storage in electronic media.
The ``Categories of records in the system'' section in system 30-64-0002

[[Page 27119]]

(Financial Institutions Investigative and Enforcement Records) is amended to add suspicious activity reports. A ``Note'' is added after the ``Categories of records in the system'' section which states that certain records in the system may be proprietary to other Federal entities and that the FDIC may forward requests for such records to the originating agency. Routine use #2 is modified to include reporting of information contained in this system to licensing and standards boards, such as the bar associations and other groups who set standards of conduct for their professional members. The ``Record access procedures'' are revised to give notice of certain exemptions from disclosure under 12 CFR 310.13 and 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) and (k)(2).
The ``Routine uses of records'' section in system 30-64-0003 (Administrative and Personnel Action Records) is revised to add three routine uses which authorize the disclosure of information to a court, magistrate or administrative tribunal and to certain government agencies for the specific purposes and subject to the limitations described in the routine uses.
The ``Categories of records in the system'' section in system 30-64-0004 (Changes in Bank Control Ownership Records) is amended to include certain financial information of proposed acquirers. The ``Routine uses of records'' section is revised to delete the current routine use and to add four routine uses which provide for disclosure of information to: Federal or state financial institution supervisory authorities; a court, magistrate or administrative tribunal; Federal, state or local regulatory authorities; and to a congressional office. The ``Notification procedure'' subsection is revised to provide that individuals requesting records about themselves must furnish their name, address, and the name and address of the FDIC insured institution. The ``Record source categories'' section is amended to add persons who fileda ``Change in Control Notice'' or ``Notice of Acquisition of Control'' forms during the period from 1989 to 1995. Also, a ``Note'' is included in the notice to advise that the system was maintained only for the period from 1989 to 1995, and that the resultant, current records system does not maintain information retrievable by name or any personal identifier.
The ``Authority for maintenance of the system'' section in system 30-64-0005 (Consumer Complaint and Inquiry Records) is revised to add section 9 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1819). The ``Notification procedure'' section is amended to provide that requests must include the name and address of the complainant or inquirer and the name and address of the insured depository institution that is the subject of the inquiry.
The ``Categories of records in the system'' section of system 30-64-0006 (Employee Confidential Financial Disclosure Records) is revised (i) to delete the Confidential Report of Employment Upon Resignation, and (ii) to delete from category (5) the limitation that certain employees' credit cards issued by FDIC insured state nonmember banks must not exceed a $10,000 line of credit. The ``Policies and practices'' section for storing, retrieving and safeguarding system records is updated to reflect that records are stored in electronic media, as well as paper format. A ``Note'' is added to the notice advising that various categories of records in the system are maintained in addition to those maintained in the government-wide system maintained by the United States Office of Government Ethics (known as ``OGE/GOVT-2'').
As noted above, the system name of 30-64-0007, formerly known as ``Employee Education System--FDIC,'' is consolidated with system 30- 64-0009 (Examiner Training and Education Records--FDIC) and is changed to ``Employee Training Information Records.'' The ``Category of records in the system'' section is amended to delete records pertaining to the educational history of employees prior to employment with the FDIC. The ``Routine uses of records'' section is revised to add a routine use which authorizes the disclosure of information to a court, magistrate, mediator or administrative tribunal. Also, a routine use providing for disclosure of information to vendors and other appropriate third parties for the purpose of verification of training or licensing requirements is amended to include professional licensing boards.
The name of system 30-64-0008, formerly known as the Chain Bank Report, is changed to ``Chain Banking Organizations Identification Records.'' The ``Category of records'' section is amended to include stock certificate numbers, total asset size, the percentage of stock ownership, name of intermediate holding company and the percentage of holding company stock held by the controlling individual or group owning or controlling two or more insured depository institutions. The ``Policies and practices'' section for storing, retrieving and safeguarding the system records is updated to reflect that records are stored only in electronic media and are retrievable by an assigned identification number, as well as by name.
The name of system 30-64-0010, formerly known as ``Investigative Files and Records,'' is changed to ``Investigative Files of the Office of the Inspector General.'' The ``Category of records in the system'' section is amended to include records and information regarding possible violations of the FDIC employee and contractor Standards of Conduct. Routine uses (1), (2) and (5) are revised, and eight new routine uses are included which authorize the disclosure of information to various agencies, organizations or individuals for the specific purposes and subject to the limitations described in the routine uses. These routine uses are compatible with the purposes for which the records were assembled, as they are narrowly tailored under limited circumstances and are exemplary of other approved routine uses for other records of Inspectors General in other federal agencies subject to the Privacy Act. A ``Note'' is added after the routine uses stating that records may additionally be disclosed if they are also present in other nonexempt systems of records. The ``Retention and disposal'' section is amended to provide that records will be retained for a period of ten years and then destroyed. A second ``Note'' after the ``Notification procedure'' subsection is added to give the proviso that some records may be exempt from the disclosure provisions of the Privacy Act as further explained in a subsequent subsection of the notice.
The name of system 30-64-0011, formerly known as the ``Vacancy Announcement Tracking System,'' is changed to ``Corporate Recruitment Tracking Records.'' The Office of Government Ethics is added as an agency to which information may be disclosed under routine use (1).
The name of system 30-64-0012, formerly known as the ``Financial Information System'', is changed to ``Financial Information Management Records.'' The ``System location'' section is revised to specify that certain records concerning FDIC employees are located with the General Counsel, Legal Division. A similar change is implemented for the ``System manager'' section, but only as to limited, specific records enumerated in the system notice. The ``Categories of individuals covered by the system'' section is amended to include ``FDIC customers.'' A ``Note'' is added after the ``Categories of individuals covered by the system'' section stating that the system also contains records concerning failed bank receiverships, corporations and other

The ``Notification procedure'' subsection has been revised to state that individuals seeking access to the system must include certain identifying information to aid in the location of records.
The ``System location'' section of 30-64-0013 (Insured Bank Liquidation Records) is revised to reflect that records are now only located in Washington, DC or Dallas, Texas. The ``Categories of individuals covered by the system'' section is amended to include obligees of failed financial institutions for which FDIC has been appointed receiver or liquidator or provided with open-bank assistance. A ``Note'' is added after the aforementioned section which states that this system of records may also contain many records about business entities and other organizations that may not be subject to the Privacy Act. The ``Categories of records in the system'' section is revised to include records concerning receivership claims filedby claimants, creditors, or obligees of the failed financial institution.

Eight routine uses are added to authorize disclosure of information to various offices, agencies, or organizations for the specific purposes and subject to the limitations described in the routine uses. The ``Policies and practices'' section for storing and safeguarding the records is amended to reflect that records are stored in electronic media, as well as paper format.

The ``Category of records in the system'' section in system 30- 64-0022 (Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act Request Records) is expanded to further and better explain the types of records found in the system.
