TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY

Privacy Act of 1974: Republication of Notice of Systems of Records

AGENCY: Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA).

ACTION: Notice of republication of systems of records; notice of proposed new system of records; notice of new routine uses.

SUMMARY: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4), the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is republishing in full a notice of the existence and character of each TVA system of records.

TVA is also proposing to add a new system of records entitled TVA- 38 ``Wholesale and Retail Data Files.'' Further details of this system of records are in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this notice.

TVA is deleting system TVA-3 ``Upgrade Craft Training Program.'' This program has ended and the retention period for these records has expired.

TVA is deleting TVA-4 ``Demonstration Farm Records'' and TVA-27 ``Test Demonstration Farm Records.'' These programs have ended and the records have been transferred to the National Archives in East Point, Georgia.

TVA is deleting TVA-16 ``Land Between The Lakes, Register of Law Violations,'' and TVA-35 ``Building Access Security Records.'' These systems are no longer in use and the records are now filedas part of system TVA-37 ``U.S. TVA Police Records.''

TVA is deleting TVA-33 ``Office of Nuclear Power Call Detail Records.'' The nuclear records are no longer filedseparately and are now part of system TVA-32 ``Call Detail Records.''

TVA is renaming TVA-9 ``Medical Records Systems'' to ``Health Records;'' TVA-21 ``Nuclear Assurance and Licensing Personnel Records'' to ``Nuclear Assurance Personnel Records;'' and TVA-22 ``Questionnaire--Farms in Vicinity of Proposed or Licensed Nuclear Power Plant'' to ``Questionnaire--Land Use Surveys in Vicinity of Proposed or Licensed Nuclear Power Plant.'' These name changes are made to better reflect the content of the systems of records.

TVA is adding a new routine use to three systems: TVA-2 ``Personnel Records,'' TVA-23 ``Radiation Dosimetry Personnel Monitoring Records,'' and TVA-26 ``Retirement System Records.''

TVA is also correcting minor typographical and stylistic errors in previously existing notices and has updated those notices to reflect current organizational structure. Also, updates are being made to show any changes to system locations; managers and addresses; categories of individuals and records; procedures and practices for storing, retrieving, accessing, retaining, and disposing of records.

DATES: Submit comments on or before July 1, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Address all comments concerning this notice to Wilma H. McCauley, Privacy Act Officer, TVA, 1101 Market Street (WR 4Q), Chattanooga, TN 37402-2801.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Wilma H. McCauley at (423) 751-2523.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4), TVA is today republishing a notice of the existence and character of each of its systems of records in order to make available in one place in the Federal Register the most up-to-date information regarding these systems. This has become necessary to reflect the organizational changes in the agency over the years.

TVA is proposing to establish a new system of records entitled TVA- 38 ``Wholesale and Retail Data Files.'' This system is maintained by TVA's Customer Service and Marketing (CS&M) organization to provide important information, both business and private, about TVA's customers to enable TVA to provide better customer service, and to establish emergency contact lists for its power distributors. Reports are being submitted to the Committee on Government Operation of the House of Representatives, the Committee on Governmental Affairs of the Senate, and the Office of Management and Budget pursuant to the Privacy Act and OMB Circular No. A-130. If no comments are received, this system will become effective as of July 1, 1999.

TVA is deleting six systems of records as follows: The program for TVA-3 ``Upgrade Craft Training Program,'' has ended and the retention period for these records has expired in accordance with established TVA Comprehensive Records Schedules. The programs responsible for TVA-4 ``Demonstration Farm Records'' and TVA-27 ``Test Demonstration Farms Records'' have ended and the records have been transferred to the National Archives in East Point, Georgia, in accordance with established TVA Comprehensive Records Schedules. The duties and the records for TVA-16 ``Land Between The Lakes, Register of Law Violations,'' and TVA-35 ``Building Access Security Records'' are now the responsibility of the U.S. TVA Police, and, therefore, have been incorporated into system U.S. ``TVA-37 ``U.S. TVA Police Records.'' TVA-33 ``Office of Nuclear Power Call Detail Records'' are now part of system TVA-32 ``Call Detail Records.'' This resulted because it is no longer necessary to file the nuclear call detail records separately.

TVA is renaming the following three systems of records to better reflect the contents of these systems. TVA-9 ``Medical Records Systems'' is being renamed to ``Health Records.'' This system of records is now the

[[Page 29380]]

responsibility of the Health Services organization. TVA-21 ``Nuclear Assurance and Licensing Personnel Records'' is being renamed to ``Nuclear Assurance Personnel Records'' to reflect the name change of the responsible organization. TVA-22 ``Questionnaire-Farms in Vicinity of Proposed or Licensed Nuclear Power Plant'' is being changed to ``Questionnaire-Land Use Surveys in Vicinity of Proposed or Licensed Nuclear Power Plant.'' The program was developed to evaluate farms within a two mile radius, and was the responsibility of the TVA Agricultural Institute. The program is currently the responsibility of the Radiological Control group and involves all individuals living within a five mile radius in accordance with Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations.

TVA is adding a new routine use to three systems: TVA-2 ``Personnel Records,'' TVA-23 ``Radiation Dosimetry Personnel Monitoring Records,'' and TVA-26 ``Retirement System Records'' to include health related agencies, organizations, or professionals for the purpose of compiling health statistics or biomedical investigations for employee population health monitoring.

TVA is also correcting minor typographical and stylistic errors in the previous existing systems. In addition, TVA is updating the system locations; managers and addresses; notification; categories of individuals covered; categories of records; storage policies and practices; retention and disposal; record access; and contesting record procedures. These changes are necessary to reflect TVA's current organizational structure, advanced technology, and procedural changes.
