SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Department of the Interior (DOI), Office of Hearings and 
Appeals (OHA), maintains the ``Hearings and Appeals File--Interior, OS-
09,'' system of records. The primary purpose of this system is to 
support the adjudication or other resolution of administrative disputes 
assigned to OHA. The amendments to the system will include updating the 
system location, categories of records, routine uses of records 
maintained, and policies and practices for storing, retrieving, 
accessing, retaining and disposing of records, as well as updating 
citations to amended DOI regulations. The categories of records in the 
system is being updated to delete a reference regarding contract 
disputes considered and decided by the Interior Board of Contract 
Appeals, which was replaced by Congress with the Civilian Board of 
Contract Appeals (Sec. 847, Pub. L. 109-163, 119 Stat. 3391), and to 
add a reference to hearings in hydropower licensing proceedings (43 CFR 
part 45). This system notice was last published in the Federal Register 
on November 27, 2006, 71 FR 68633.
    The list of routine uses of records maintained in the system is 
being revised in several respects. Routine use (1) is expanded to cover 
not only parties and their authorized representatives but also 
intervenors, witnesses, parties' family members, any other persons 
whose connections to the parties and/or the proceedings could warrant 
attendance and/or participation at a hearing, and authorized 
representatives of any of these additional persons. Routine use (1) is 
also expanded to expressly include service lists as documents that may 
be disclosed. It is typical for service lists to show, among other 
things, the name and address of each party or party's representative.
    Routine use (2) is added to permit disclosure of case docket lists 
that provide limited information on pending cases, such as, docket 
number, case title (which may be an individual's name), and docketed 
date. Finally, routine use (3) is added to permit disclosure of 
decisions and orders whose disclosure is not required under the Freedom 
of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(2).
    The amendments to the system will be effective as proposed at the 
end of the comment period (the comment period will end 40 days after 
the publication of this notice in the Federal Register), unless 
comments are received which would require a contrary determination. DOI 
will publish a revised notice if changes are made based upon a review 
of the comments received.

II. Privacy Act

    The Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5 U.S.C. 552a), embodies fair 
information practice principles in a statutory framework governing the 
means by which Federal agencies collect, maintain, use, and disseminate 
individuals' personal information. The Privacy Act applies to records 
about individuals that are maintained in a ``system of records.'' A 
``system of records'' is a group of any records under the control of an 
agency for which information about an individual is retrieved by the 
name or by some identifying number, symbol, or other identifying 
particular assigned to the individual. The Privacy Act defines an 
individual as a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. As a matter 
of policy, DOI extends administrative Privacy Act protections to all 
individuals. Individuals may request access to their own records that 
are maintained in a system of records in the possession or under the 
control of the DOI by complying with DOI Privacy Act regulations at 43 
CFR part 2, subpart K.
    The Privacy Act requires each agency to publish in the Federal 
Register a description denoting the type and character of each system 
of records that

[[Page 26292]]

the agency maintains, the routine uses that are contained in each 
system in order to make agency record keeping practices transparent, to 
notify individuals regarding the uses of their records, and to assist 
individuals to more easily find such records within the agency. The 
amended system notice for the ``Hearings and Appeals Files--Interior, 
OS-09,'' is published in its entirety below.
    In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), DOI has provided a report of 
this system of records to the Office of Management and Budget and to 
Congress.

III. Public Disclosure

    Before including your address, phone number, email address, or 
other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be 
aware that your entire comment, including your personal identifying 
information, may be made publicly available at any time. While you can 
ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying 
information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be 
able to do so.

will be disclosed outside DOI as required by law and regulation (5 
U.S.C. 552(a)(2), 43 CFR 2.1(g); 2.67(b)). In addition to those

Act, records or information contained in this system may be disclosed 
outside DOI as a routine use pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) as 
follows:

intervenors, witnesses, parties' family members, any other persons 
whose connections to the parties and/or the proceedings could warrant

representatives of any of these additional persons, upon request or in

[[Page 26293]]

be disclosed under 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(2), e.g., ALJ decisions and orders

    (i) Such disclosure would not cause a clearly unwarranted invasion 
of personal privacy; and
    (ii) Such documents would not otherwise be exempt from disclosure

(whether Federal, state, territorial, local, tribal or foreign) when a 
record, either alone or in conjunction with other information, 
indicates a violation or potential violation of law--criminal, civil, 
or regulatory in nature, and the disclosure is compatible with the 
purpose for which the records were compiled.
    (7) To an official of another Federal agency to provide information 
needed in the performance of official duties related to reconciling or 
reconstructing data files or to enable that agency to respond to an 
inquiry by the individual to whom the record pertains.

Department or another agency or entity) that rely upon the compromised 
information; and
    (c) The disclosure is made to such agencies, entities and persons 
who are reasonably necessary to assist in connection with the 
Department's efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed 
compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm.
    (13) To the Office of Management and Budget during the coordination

Public Affairs Officer in consultation with Counsel and the Senior 
Agency Official for Privacy, where there exists a legitimate public 
interest in the disclosure of the information, except to the extent it

of a particular case would constitute an unwarranted invasion of 
personal privacy or otherwise violate the FOIA.

DISCLOSURE TO CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCIES:
    Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(12), disclosures may be made to a 
consumer reporting agency as defined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act 
(15 U.S.C. 1681a(f)) or the Federal Claims Collection Act of 1996 (31 
U.S.C. 3701(a)(3)).

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, 
AND DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
STORAGE:
    Case file records in manual form are maintained in file folders. 
Electronic records, including those created for the purpose of tracking 
case files, are maintained on the OHA computer network in user-
authenticated, password-protected systems that are compliant with the 
Federal Information Security Management Act. All records are accessed 
only by authorized personnel who have a need to access the records in 
the performance of their official duties.

RETRIEVABILITY:
    Both manual and electronic records are retrieved by the name of the 
appellant, claimant, or other party, or by designated OHA docket 
number.

SAFEGUARDS:
    The records contained in this system are safeguarded in accordance 
with 43 CFR 2.226 and other applicable security

[[Page 26294]]

rules and policies. Most of the records covered by this notice are in 
paper form. Access is provided on a need-to-know basis. Manual records 
are maintained in locked file cabinets located in secured rooms or DOI 
facilities. Electronic data are protected through user identification, 
passwords, database permissions, and software controls. Computers and 
storage media are encrypted in accordance with DOI security policy. 
Computers containing files are password protected to restrict 
unauthorized access. The DOI computers and servers storing this 
information are located in secured DOI facilities with access codes, 
security codes, and security guards. Access to electronic data is 
limited to DOI personnel who have a need to know the information for 
the performance of their official duties.
    Personnel authorized to access systems must complete all Security, 
Privacy, and Records Management training and sign the DOI Rules of 
Behavior. A separate Privacy Impact Assessment for the electronic 
database (the OHA Docket Management System) has been conducted to 
ensure appropriate controls and safeguards are in place to protect the 
information within the system.

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:
    Records other than Indian trust records are retained and disposed 
of in accordance with the OHA Records Disposal Schedule, which has been 
approved by the National Archives and Records Administration (Job No. 
N1-048-07-4), and the Office of the Secretary Records Disposal 
Schedule. The disposition is temporary. The disposition schedule 
varies, but most records are destroyed or deleted 7 years after closure 
of agency business. Paper records are disposed of by shredding or 
pulping, and records contained on electronic media are degaussed or 
erased in accordance with 384 Departmental Manual 1.
    Indian trust records are retained in accordance with a schedule, 
``Office of Hearings and Appeals--Trust Case Files,'' that has been 
approved by the National Archives and Records Administration (Job No. 
N1-048-10-8). The disposition is permanent.
