Privacy Act of 1974, as Amended; Amendment of an Existing System of Records

Résumé

The Department of Interior (DOI) is issuing public notice of its intent to amend a Departmentwide Privacy Act (PA) system of records in its inventory of records systems subject to the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a). DOI-71, "Freedom of Information Request Files System--Interior, is being amended due to the fact that the Department is consolidating data from systems (both paper and electronic) maintained by individual bureaus and offices within DOI into a centralized electronic database. The new electronic Freedom of Information Act tracking system (EFTS) will contain information on Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and PA requesters and their requests for records or information, appeals, and related litigation. All of the fields in the PA system of records notice, DOI-71, have been revised. This includes changing the name of the system to "DOI-71: Electronic FOIA Tracking System and FOIA Case Files--Interior," DOI-71.
