Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission or Agency) has modified an existing system of records, FCC/OMD-16, Personnel Security Files, subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. This action is necessary to meet the requirement of the Privacy Act to publish in the Federal Register notice of the existence and charger of records maintained by the agency. The FCC's Security Operations Center (SOC) in the Office of Managing Director (OMD) uses this system of records to determine an individual's suitability for access to classified information and/or a security clearance; evaluate an individual's suitability for Federal employment, including temporary hires such as interns, consultants, and experts, or to perform contractual services for the FCC; respond to complaints of threats, harassment, violence, or other inappropriate behavior at the FCC; and, document security violations and related activities such as insider threats.
