Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: Office of Environmental Information, Environmental Protection 
Agency.

ACTION: Notice of a new system of records.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Office of 
General Counsel is giving notice that it proposes to create a new 
system of records pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 
1974. The Employment Law Practice Group Case Management System (ELPG-
CMS) is being created to meet the needs of the Office of General 
Counsel, Employment Law Practice Group Attorney Advisors and Agency 
Leadership. This system will provide automated information support to 
the Employment Law Practice Group in tracing and managing the flow of 
labor and employment advice and litigation through the litigation 
process. The information collected in the case management program will 
be used to: Assign incoming cases and more efficiently track 
significant events in the litigation such as filing deadlines; 
electronically collect and store in one location all documents relevant 
to a case, including discovery materials, filings, submissions, case 
correspondence and case research information. The system is accessed 
from an internet browser using the Agency's secured portal.

DATES: Persons wishing to comment on this system or records notice must 
do so by April 2, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
OEI-2017-0307, by one of the following methods:
    Regulations.gov: www.regulations.gov. Follow the online 
instructions for submitting comments.
    Email: oei.docket@epa.gov.
    Fax: 202-566-1752.
    Mail: OEI Docket, Environmental Protection Agency, Mailcode: 2822T, 
1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20460.
    Hand Delivery: OEI Docket, EPA/DC, WJC West Building, Room 3334, 
1301 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC. Such deliveries are only 
accepted during the Docket's normal hours of operation, and special 
arrangements should be made for deliveries of boxed information.
    Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OEI-
2017-0307. The EPA's policy is that all comments received will be 
included in the public docket without change and may be made available 
online at www.regulations.gov, including any personal information 
provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be 
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information for which 
disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you 
consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through www.regulations.gov. 
The www.regulations.gov website is an ``anonymous access'' system for 
EPA, which means the EPA will not know your identity or contact 
information unless you provide it in the body of your comment. However, 
over 180 federal agencies use www.regulations.gov and some may require 
Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and some may not. Each agency 
determines submission requirements within their own internal processes 
and standards. EPA has no requirement of personal information. If you 
send an email comment directly to the EPA without going through 
www.regulations.gov your email address will be automatically captured 
and included as part of the comment that is placed in the public docket 
and made available on the internet. If you submit an electronic 
comment, the EPA recommends that you include your name and other 
contact information in the body of your comment and with any disk or 
CD-ROM you submit. If the EPA cannot read your comment due to technical 
difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, the EPA may not 
be able to consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid the use 
of special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of any 
defects or viruses. For additional information about the EPA's public 
docket visit the EPA Docket Center homepage at http://www.epa.gov/epahome/dockets.htm.
    Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the 
www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some 
information is not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other information 
for which disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, 
such as copyrighted material, will be publicly available only in hard 
copy. Publicly available docket materials are available either 
electronically in www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at the OEI 
Docket, EPA/DC, WJC West Building, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. 
NW, Washington. DC. The Public Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 
4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday excluding legal holidays. The 
telephone number for the Public Reading Room is (202) 566-1744, and the 
telephone number for the OEI Docket is (202) 566-1752.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 
(EPA) plans to create a Privacy Act system of records for the 
Employment Law Practice Group Case Management System (ELPG-CMS). ELPG-
CMS will be used by Employment Law attorneys in the Office General 
Counsel to: (1) Track, manage, and report on employment matters, 
including litigation, counseling, disciplinary actions, performance 
actions, and investigations into allegations of workplace harassment. 
(2) assign incoming cases and more efficiently track significant events 
in the litigation such as filing deadlines; (3) electronically collect 
and store in one location all documents relevant to a case, including 
discovery materials,

[[Page 8865]]

filings, submissions, case correspondence and case research 
information; (4) electronically provide access to case records to the 
case attorney(s), OGC support staff, and supervisory attorneys; (5) 
electronically provide access to case records to other ELPG attorneys 
working on other cases who may benefit from information collected in 
other cases; (6) facilitate the filing of submissions before 
administrative tribunals that require electronic filing of case 
materials, such as the EEOC and MSPB, and (7) generate reports that 
will allow the agency to track and evaluate a variety of employment 
litigation trends such as recurring employee misconduct, imposed 
disciplinary penalties, discrimination claims, etc.
    The implementation of the ELPG-CMS will have no effect on the 
privacy of individuals. The system is password-protected and access is 
restricted to Office of General Counsel Employment Law Practice Group 
Attorneys and legal staff who have a work-related need to utilize the 
information in the system. Permission-level assignments allow users 
access only to those functions for which they are authorized. All 
records are maintained in secure, access-controlled areas of buildings. 
The system is accessed from an internet browser using the Agency's 
secured portal and requires a user to have an established log-in name 
and password. The system is maintained at a contractor's secured and 
FedRAMP-certified data center, discretely located in Ashburn, VA. ELPG-
CMS is maintained by the Office of General Counsel, Employment Law 
Practice Group.
