Privacy Act of 1974, System of Records

概要

Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5 U.S.C. 552a), and 5 U.S.C. 553, the Office of Special Counsel (OSC) previously published notices in the Federal Register describing the system of records maintained in connection with OSC program responsibilities. The notice at 52 FR 29907 (1987) proposed the amendment of routine uses and identified specific exemptions from the act; the notice at 58 FR 62394 (1993) designated the system as ``OSC/GOVT-1, OSC Complaint, Litigation and Political Activity Files,'' among other administrative changes. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) and (11), the OSC is revising the system notice for OSC/GOVT-1 to update information about individuals covered by the system, records in the system, authority for maintenance of the system, the system manager, retrievability of records, access controls, and records source categories; update legal citations; and make technical corrections. The OSC also proposes to revise the system notice by amending the description of two current routine uses, and by adding a new routine use.
