Privacy Act of 1974; Publication of System of Records

The following changes have been made to the existing NLRB Notice of System of Records NLRB-1, Accounting Records-- Financial 1. Routine uses Nos. 1 and 2 have been deleted because the specified ``need to know'' in them is authorized by 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(1)(5). Routine uses Nos. 3, 4 and 5 were renumbered Nos. 1, 2 and 3. 2. Routine use No. 6 has been amended to specify more exactly the categories of users and the information that may be disclosed. Routine use No. 6 has been renumbered No. 4. 3. Routine use No. 7 has been renumbered No. 5. 4. The language of routine use No. 8 has been amended to specify that on disclosure to an inquiring congressional office, the subject individual must be a constituent about whom the records are maintained, Routine use No. 8 has been renumbered as No 6. 5. The language of routine use No. 9 has been amended to conform to the intent of routine use (e) in the Government-wide system of records OPM/GOVT-2, Employee Performance File System Records, to eliminate the NLRB requirement that the information that may be disclosed to a labor organization ``shall be furnished in depersonalized form, i.e., without personal identifiers.'' Routine use (e) is a Government-wide system of records OPM/GOVT-2 which provides that the information will be ``disclosed to an arbitrator to resolve disputes under a negotiated grievance procedure or to officials of labor organizations under 5 U.S.C. chapter 71 when relevant and necessary to their duties of exclusive representation.'' The NLRB is deleting the requirement that ``wherever feasible and consistent with responsibilities under the Act, such information shall be furnished in depersonalized form, i.e., without personal identifiers,'' a requirement not contained in OPM/ GOVT-2 routine use (e). Routine use No. 9 has been renumbered as use No. 7. 6. Routine use No. 10 has been amended by changing reference from ``Agency'' to ``NLRB'' for more specificity. Routine use No. 10 has been renumbered as routine use No. 8. 7. Routine use No. 11 is amended to specify more exactly the information that may be disclosed to a court or an adjudicative body in the course of presenting evidence or argument including disclosure to opposing counsel of witnesses in the course of civil discovery. Routine use No. 11 has been renumbered as routine use No. 9. 8. Routine use No. 10 is new and has been added for the purpose of identifying and locating individuals who are receiving Federal salaries or benefit payments, and are delinquent in their repayment of debts owed to the U.S. Government under certain programs administered by the NLRB in order to collect the debts under the provisions of the Debt Collection Act of 1982 (PL 97-365), and the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (PL 104-134) by voluntary repayment, or by administrative or salary offset procedures. 9. The address of system locations and managers in NLRB-1 has been changed from ``NLRB, 1717 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20570-0001'' to ``NLRB, 1099 14th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20570- 0001.'' 10. References to 29 CFR 102.117 citations in NLRB-1 have been changed to read as follows for the paragraphs in Notification Procedures, 29 CFR 102.117(f); Records Access Procedures, 29 CFR 102.117 (g) and (h); Contesting Records Procedures, 29 CFR 102.117(i).
