BILLING CODE 4310–79–P
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Fish and Wildlife Service
Privacy Act as Amended; Amendment
of an Existing System of Records
AGENCY: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
Department of the Interior.
ACTION: Proposed amendment of an
existing system of records notice.
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the provisions of
the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5
U.S.C. 552a), the Department of the
Interior issues this public notice of its
intent to modify an existing Privacy Act
system of records managed by the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). The
changes are to the system of records
called ‘‘Real Property Records—Interior,
FWS–11 which is published in its
entirety below.
DATES: 5 U.S.C. 552a (e)(11) requires
that the public be provided a 30-day
period in which to comment on an
agency’s intended use of the
information in the system of records.
The Office of Management and Budget
in its Circular A–130, requires an
additional 10-day period in which to
make these comments. Comments
received within the 40 days from the
publication in the Federal Register will
be considered. The system will be
effective as proposed at the end of the
comment period unless comments are
received which would require a
contrary determination. The Department
will publish a revised notice if changes
are made based upon a review of
comments received. Any person
PO 00000 Frm 00107 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\27NON1.SGM
interested in commenting on this
proposed amendment may do so by
submitting comments in writing to Mr.
Johnny R. Hunt, Privacy Act Officer,
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
Department of the Interior, Mail Stop
222, Arlington square Building, 4401
North Fairfax Drive, Arlington, Virginia
22203, or by e-mail to
Johnny_Hunt@fws.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Johnny R. Hunt, Privacy Act Officer,
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
telephone: (703) 358–1730, or fax: (703)
358–2269.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Refuge Revenue Sharing Act of October
17, 1978, Public Law 95–469, amended
the Act of June 15, 1935 [amended by
the Act of August 30, 1964 (78 Stat. 701;
16 U.S.C.715s)] authorizes the
Department of Interior to deposit into
the United States Treasury revenues
received by the Secretary of Interior
from such activities as the ‘‘sale or other
disposition of animals, salmonoid
carcasses, timber, hay, grass, or other
products of the soil, minerals, shells,
sand, or gravel, from other privileges, or
from leases for public accommodations
or facilities * * *’’ The Department
applies such revenues toward the
maintenance of the National Wildlife
Refuge system.
Monies from the Migratory Bird
Conservation Fund and other
Congressional Appropriation provide
for such activities as land appraisals,
surveys, and payments for acquisition of
real property interests. The FWS
established a subcomponent of the Real
Property Records system called the
Land Acquisition Network Database
System (LANDS) to reconcile end-of-
year transaction reports required by the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for
payments made to landowners who are
selling an interest to FWS. The system
will also allow the program to more
quickly obtain land transaction status
related to individual property parcels.
Because the system will retrieve
personal information such as name,
address, social security number, land
ownership status, and records of
payment that must be reported as
income to the IRS, it is subject to the
Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a).
Johnny R. Hunt,
Privacy Act Officer, U.S. Fish & Wildlife
Service.

DISCLOSURE TO CONSUMER REPORTING
AGENCIES:
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)12,
disclosures may be made from this
system to consumer reporting agencies
as they are defined in the Fair Credit
Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. 1681a(f)) or the
Federal Claims Collection Act of 1966
(931 U.S.C. 3701(A)(3)).
POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING,
RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND
DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
STORAGE:
We maintain records both in paper
and electronic files. Electronic records
are stored in a computer system on a
secure server. Hardcopy input records
associated with reconciliation of bureau
financial reports or records required to
report taxable income are temporarily
secured in a locked file that bears a
Privacy Act warning label.
RETRIEVABILITY:
Generally we store the records by
individual name, project name, project
number and location. Electronic records
may be searched on or reported by any
data field. Retrieval is generally
dependent upon the report or purpose
of usage and whether a need to know
exists. For example, records may be
retrieved by social security number,
name, tract number, State, or county.
Records are retrievable for several
purposes, such as determining
landowner payments that need to be
reported to IRS, tracking payments
made to landowners, reconciliation of
the bureau’s financial reports, and
tracking status of acquisition activities
or requests for surveys and appraisals
related to those activities.
SAFEGUARDS:
We maintain the records in
accordance with safeguards specified in
the Department of the Interior Privacy
Act regulations (43 CFR 2.51).
Safeguards include password-protected
computers and on site locked storage
rooms. Electronic records have a multi-
level password-protected database. The
file server uses active directory for
logon. The application uses secure
socket layer (SSL) through port 443 so
that HTTP traffic is encrypted with 128-
bit encryption for external protection.
Therefore, data is secure between the
client and the Branch of
sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
Communication Technology’s Server.
The tax identification number, Social
Security Number and Employee
Identification Number are encrypted
using base 64 encryption algorithms and
VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:58 Nov 24, 2006 Jkt 211001
converted to HEX. Electronic records are
password-protected, backed up daily,
and maintained with safeguards meeting
the security requirements of 43 CFR
2.51. A Privacy Impact Assessment was
completed to ensure that Privacy Act
requirements and safeguard
requirements are met.
RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:
Records are maintained in accordance
with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
Records Schedule and the General
Records Schedule (GRS–7).
