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 two new general routine uses for all DOT systems of records and republishing all of its general routine uses. Comment is invited on the two new routine uses. The two new routine uses are consistent with the following recommendations: (1) A recommendation in a memorandum issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on May 22, 2007 (Memorandum M-07-16 "Safeguarding Against and Responding to the Breach of Personally Identifiable Information") that all Federal agencies publish a routine use for their systems allowing for the disclosure of personally identifiable information to appropriate parties in the course of responding to a breach of data maintained in a system of records; and (2) A recommendation by the Office of Government Information Services (OGIS) within the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) that all Federal agencies publish a routine use for their systems to authorize disclosure of personally identifiable information to OGIS for Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
