Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records; Statement of General Routine Uses; Notice of Establishment of Three New General Routine Uses

Résumé

In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Department of Transportation's Office of the Secretary of Transportation (DOT/OST) is publishing three new general routine uses for all DOT systems of records. Comment is invited on the three new routine uses. The three new routine uses are needed to clarify: The Department's authority to make disclosures to any person or entity acting on behalf of DOT when the disclosure is necessary to accomplish a DOT function; that the Department may make disclosures to audit or oversight organizations when necessary and relevant to a particular audit or oversight investigation of DOT programs or activities; and that the Department may make disclosures to other governmental entities when necessary for the detection, prevention, disruption, preemption, or mitigation of terrorist activities against the United States, as contemplated by the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (Pub. L. 108- 458) and Executive Order 13388 (October 25, 2005).
