Supplementary Information
This report is to give notice of an altered U.S. Customs Service system of records entitled, ``Treasury/Customs .244--Treasury Enforcement Communications System'' which is subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a. The Privacy Act notice for Treasury/Customs .244 was last published in its entirety on December 17, 1998, at 63 FR 69809. The Customs Service is altering its present system of records regarding routine uses by adding another routine use which would permit Treasury law enforcement officers to release TECS information directly to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). The addition of this routine use reflects Customs' desire to assist NCMEC in its work coordinating information on the investigation and recovery of missing children. The altered system of records report, as required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) of the Privacy Act, has been submitted to the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight of the House of Representatives, the Committee on Governmental Affairs of the Senate, and the Office of Management and Budget, pursuant to Appendix I to OMB Circular A-130, Federal Agency Responsibilities for Maintaining Records About Individuals, dated February 8, 1996. The proposed additional routine use to Treasury/Customs .244 Treasury Enforcement Communications System is published below.
