AGENCY: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. 
Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Proposed Amendment to Privacy Act System of Records: 
COMMERCE/NOAA-1, Applicants for the NOAA Corps.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces the Department of Commerce's 
(Department) proposal to amend the system of records entitled 
``COMMERCE/NOAA-1, Applicants for the NOAA Corps,'' under the Privacy 
Act of 1974, as amended. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
Administration (NOAA) Commissioned Officer Corps (NOAA Corps) is the 
uniformed service of NOAA, a bureau of the Department of Commerce. The 
NOAA Corps provides a cadre of professionals trained in engineering, 
earth sciences, oceanography, meteorology, fisheries science, and other 
related disciplines who serve their country by supporting NOAA's 
mission of surveying the Earth's oceans, coasts, and atmosphere to 
ensure the economic and physical well-being of the Nation. This record 
system is necessary in order to identify both minimum eligibility and 
level of qualification of applicants for the NOAA Corps.

DATES: To be considered, written comments must be submitted on or 
before December 28, 2015. Unless comments are received, the amended 
system of records will become effective as proposed on the date of 
publication of a subsequent notice in the Federal Register.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Director, NOAA Corps, 8403 
Colesville Road, Suite 500, National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
Administration, Silver Spring, Maryland 20910.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Persons wishing to be considered for a NOAA 
Corps Commission must submit a complete application package, including 
NOAA Form 56-42, at least three letters of recommendation, NOAA Form 
56-42A, and official transcripts. A personal interview must also be 
conducted. All persons shall meet the eligibility requirements prior to 
their appointments into the NOAA Corps. The requirements must include a 
bachelor's degree and at least 48 credit hours of science, engineering, 
or other disciplines related to NOAA's missions (including either 
calculus or physics), have satisfactorily passed the prescribed mental 
and physical evaluations in accordance with 33 U.S.C. 3021(a)(2)(A), 
3021(a)(3); 10 U.S.C. 532(a)(4), and ability to complete 20 years of 
active duty commissioned service prior to their 62nd birthday.
COMMERCE/NOAA-1

System Name:
    COMMERCE/NOAA-1, Applicants for the NOAA Corps.

Security Classification:
    Moderate.

System Location:
    Office of Marine and Aviation Operations, National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration, 8403 Colesville Road, Suite 500, Silver 
Spring, Maryland 20910.

Categories of Individuals Covered by the System:
    Applicants for appointment in the NOAA Corps and persons providing 
references.

Categories of Records in the System:
    Name, date of birth, place of birth, country of citizenship (if 
U.S., how citizenship acquired), mailing address, physical address, 
telephone numbers, email addresses, social security number, selective 
service registration, educational information (names and locations of 
schools, graduation dates, areas of study, years attended, degrees) 
GPAs for undergraduate and graduate programs, courses (and credit 
hours) in progress or proposed prior to graduation, college 
transcripts, credit hours in applicable fields of study, work 
experience (name and location of company, position title, supervisor 
contact information, description of work, hours, salary and reason for 
leaving, whether employment is/was at a professional level), letters of 
reference, physical examinations, statements of prior military service 
(rejections, conscientious objector status, type of discharge, current 
obligations), recruiting officer's interview evaluation form, personal 
resumes, special qualifications and skills, and names of references.

Authority for Maintenance of the System:
    The statutory authorities for this system of records are 33 U.S.C. 
Chapter 43, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 
Commissioned Officer Corps and PL 112-166 Section 2. (gg)(1), 
Presidential Appointment Efficiency and Streamlining Act of 2011.

Purposes:
    The NOAA Corps provides a cadre of professionals trained in 
engineering, earth sciences, oceanography, meteorology, fisheries 
science, and other related disciplines who support NOAA's mission of 
surveying the Earth's oceans, coasts, and atmosphere to ensure the 
economic and physical well-being of the Nation. This record system is 
necessary in order to identify both minimum eligibility and level of 
qualification of applicants for the NOAA Corps. The system is designed 
as follows: Application and reference information may be submitted on a 
year-round basis, but the primary periods of collection are typically 
immediately preceding summer and winter college graduations. Completed 
applications are examined by the NOAA Officer Personnel Board in order 
to rate and/or assess the level of qualification, suitability, and 
availability of candidates for appointment. NOAA Form 56-42 and NOAA 
Form 56-42A are now fully electronic, the result of efforts to reduce 
paperwork, clarify the collection process and improve the quality of 
applicant responses.

Routine Uses of Records Maintained in the System, Including Categories 
of Users and the Purposes of Such Uses:
    In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 
552a(b) of the Privacy Act, these records or information contained 
therein may specifically be disclosed outside the Department of 
Commerce (Department).

of their job, have access to the information. Paper records are 
maintained in secured file cabinets in areas that are accessible only 
to authorized personnel of the Data Collection Agent. Electronic 
records containing Privacy Act information are protected by a user 
identification/password. The user identification/password is issued to 
individuals by authorized personnel. OMAO staff and contractors, to 
whom access to this information is granted in accordance with this 
system of records routine uses provision, are instructed on the 
confidential nature of this information.
