TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY

18 CFR Part 1301


Tennessee Valley Authority Procedures

AGENCY: Tennessee Valley Authority.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Tennessee Valley Authority is amending its regulations 
which contain TVA's procedures for the Privacy Act. These amendments 
reflect changes in position titles and addresses; conform references to 
Privacy Act systems of records to the most current publication of TVA's 
Privacy Act Systems Notices in the Federal Register; and make other 
editorial changes.

DATES: Effective: December 9, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christopher A. Marsalis, Senior 
Privacy Program Manager, Tennessee Valley Authority, 400 W. Summit Hill 
Dr. (WT 5D), Knoxville, Tennessee 37902-1401; telephone (865) 632-2467 
or by email at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 1301.24(a) originally contained 
specific exemptions for the TVA system ``Employee Alleged Misconduct 
Investigatory File--TVA.'' Notice that system of records was retired 
appeared in 80 Federal Register 24012 (April 29, 2015). TVA is revising 
Sec.  1301.24(a) to replace the language for ``Employee Alleged 
Misconduct Investigatory File--TVA'' with the specific exemptions for 
the TVA system '' Nuclear Access Authorization and Fitness for Duty 
Records--TVA'' which were first published at 76 FR 1888 (January 11, 
2011).
    This rule was not published in proposed form since it relates to 
agency procedure and practice. TVA considers this rule to be a 
procedural rule which is exempt from notice and comment under 5 U.S.C. 
533(b)(3)(A). This rule is not a significant rule for purposes of 
Executive Order 12866 and has not been reviewed by the Office of 
Management

and Budget. As required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act, TVA 
certifies that these regulatory amendments will not have a significant 
impact on small business entities. Since this rule is nonsubstantive, 
it is being made effective December 9, 2016.
