administration of the policies and activities concerning 
telecommunications equipment, functions, and services that pertain to 
the communications that originate at the Commission (using FCC 
telecommunications equipment), terminate at the Commission (using FCC 
telecommunications equipment), and/or are accepted on behalf of the 
FCC, and the associated costs and charges for these telecommunications 
equipment, functions, and services.

DATES: Written comments are due on or before April 10, 2017. This 
action (including the routine uses) will become effective on April 10, 
2017 unless comments are received that require a contrary 
determination.

    In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 
552a(b) of the Privacy Act, all or a portion of the records or 
information contained in this system may be disclosed to authorized 
entities, as is determined to be relevant and necessary, outside the 
FCC as a routine use pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) as follows. In 
each of these cases, the FCC will determine whether disclosure of the 
records is compatible with the purpose(s) for which the records were 
collected:
    1. Adjudication and Litigation--To the Department of Justice (DOJ), 
or other administrative body before which the FCC is authorized to 
appear, when: (a) The FCC or any component thereof; or (b) any employee 
of the FCC in his or her official capacity; (c) any employee of the FCC 
in his or her individual capacity where DOJ or the FCC has agreed to 
represent the employee; or (d) the United States is a party to 
litigation or has an interest in such litigation, and the use of such 
records by DOJ or the FCC is deemed by the FCC to be relevant and 
necessary to the ligation.
    2. Law Enforcement and Investigation--To disclose pertinent 
information to the appropriate Federal, State, and/or local agency 
responsible for investigating, prosecuting, enforcing, or implementing 
a statute, rule, regulation, or order, where the FCC becomes aware of 
an indication of a violation or potential violation of civil or 
criminal law or regulation.
    3. Congressional Inquiries--To provide information to a 
congressional office from the record of an individual in response to an 
inquiry from that congressional office made at the request of that 
individual.
    4. Government-wide Program Management and Oversight--To the 
National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) for use in its 
records management inspections; to the Government Accountability Office 
(GAO) for oversight purposes; to the Department of Justice (DOJ) to 
obtain that department's advice regarding disclosure obligations under 
the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA); or to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) to obtain that office's advice regarding obligations 
under the Privacy Act.
    5. Employment, Clearances, Licensing, Contract, Grant, or other 
Benefits Decisions by the Agency--To a Federal, State, local, foreign, 
tribal, or other public agency or authority maintaining civil, 
criminal, or other relevant enforcement records, or other pertinent 
records, or to another public authority or professional organization, 
if necessary to obtain information relevant to an investigation 
concerning the hiring or retention of an employee or other personnel 
action, the issuance or retention of a security clearance, the 
classifying of jobs, the letting of a contract, or the issuance or 
retention of a license, grant, or other benefit by the requesting 
agency, to the extent that the information is relevant and necessary to 
the requesting agency's decisions on the matter.
    6. Employment, Clearances, Licensing, Contract, Grant, or other 
Benefits Decisions by Other than the Agency--To a Federal, State, 
local, foreign, tribal, or other public agency or authority of the fact 
that this system of records contains information relevant to the hiring 
or retention of an employee, the issuance or retention of a security 
clearance, the conducting of a suitability or security investigation of 
an individual, the classifying of jobs, the letting of a contract, or 
the issuance or retention of a license, grant, or other benefit by the 
requesting agency, to the extent that the information is relevant and 
necessary to the agency's decision on the matter. The other agency or 
licensing organization may then make a request supported by the written 
consent of the individual for the entire records if it so chooses. No 
disclosure will be made unless the information has been determined to 
be sufficiently reliable to support a referral to another office within 
the agency or to another Federal agency for criminal, civil, 
administrative, personnel, or regulatory action.
    7. Labor Relations--To officials of labor organizations recognized 
under 5 U.S.C. Chapter 71 upon receipt of a formal request and in 
accord with the conditions of 5 U.S.C. 7114 when relevant and necessary 
to their duties of exclusive representation concerning personnel 
policies, practices, and matters affecting working conditions.
    8. Breach Notification--To appropriate agencies, entities, and 
persons when: (a) The Commission suspects or has confirmed that there 
has been a breach of the system of records; (b) the Commission has 
determined that as a result of the suspected or confirmed breach there 
is a risk of harm to individuals, the Commission (including its 
information systems, programs, and operations), the Federal Government, 
or national security; and (c) the disclosure

[[Page 13350]]

made to such agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to 
assist in connection with the Commission's efforts to respond to the 
suspected or confirmed breach or to prevent, minimize, or remedy such 
harm.
    9. Assistance to Federal Agencies and Entities--To another Federal 
agency or Federal entity, when the Commission determines that 
information from this system is reasonably necessary to assist the 
recipient agency or entity in: (a) Responding to a suspected or 
confirmed breach or (b) preventing, minimizing, or remedying the risk 
of harm to individuals, the receipient agency or entity (including its 
information systems, program, and operations), the Federal Government, 
or national security, resulting from a suspected or confirmed breach.

providing support to permit account servicing, billing verification, 
and related requirements.
    11. For Non-Federal Personnel--To disclose information to
