Privacy Act of 1974; Establishment of a New System of Records

概要

On February 27, 1997, the National Counterintelligence Center (NACIC) published for public comment a notice for the establishment of a new Privacy Act system of records. It was provided in that notice that the system of records would become effective without further notice 40 days after publication unless modified by a subsequent notice in order to incorporate comments received from the public. Although no comments were received from members of the public, reviews internally and by representatives of the Department of Justice approved the ``routine uses'' as published but otherwise suggested several clarifications to the descriptions set forth in the sections entitled ``Categories of records in the system'' and ``Exemptions claimed for the system.'' Inasmuch as the Privacy Act requires only that the portion of the system description which describes the ``routine uses'' of a system be published for comment, the NACIC Privacy Act declaration, is set forth in its entirety below.
