Privacy Act of 1974; Amended System of Records

This notice announces the Department of Commerce's (Department's) proposal to amend and combine the systems of records entitled ``COMMERCE NBS-1'' and ``COMMERCE NBS-3'' into the system of records entitled ``NIST-1, NIST Associates.'' The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is amending these systems of records to combine and update these two prior SORNs, and to facilitate the processing, tracking, management, planning, control, support of, and reporting about NIST Associates (NA) during their tenure at NIST. The system of records entitled ``COMMERCE/NBS-3, Research Associates,'' will be abolished upon final publication of the Federal Register notice for the newly amended and renamed system of records entitled ``COMMERCE/NIST-1, NIST Associates.'' The system of records entitled ``COMMERCE/NBS-1, Guest Workers'' is being amended to create the system of records entitled ``NIST-1, Research Associates.'' We invite public comment on the system amendment announced in this publication.
