NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION
Privacy Act of 1974, as Amended; System of Records Notices
AGENCY:
National Archives and Records Administration.
ACTION:
Notice; new privacy system of records titled "Internal Collaboration Network".
SUMMARY:
The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) proposes to add a system of records to its existing inventory of systems subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5 U.S.C. 552(a)) ("Privacy Act"). In this notice, NARA publishes NARA 43, the Internal Collaboration Network, which contains files with information on National Archives employees, volunteers, and contractors.
DATES:
This new system of records, NARA 43, will become effective July 2, 2012 without further notice unless comments are received that result in further revision. NARA will publish a new notice if the effective date is delayed to review comments or if changes are made based on comments received. To be assured of consideration, comments should be received on or before the date above.
ADDRESSES:
You may submit comments, identified by SORN number NARA 43, by one of the following methods:
• Federal e-Rulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.
• Fax: 301-837-0293.
• Mail: Laura McCarthy, Strategy Division, Room 4100, National Archives and Records Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD 20740-6001.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Pamela Wright, Open Government Office, Room 3200, National Archives and Records Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD 20740-6001. Telephone: (301) 837-2029. Fax: 301-837-0312.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Internal Collaboration Network is a web-based platform that allows users to better collaborate on work projects across geographic locations and offices and allow the agency to better preserve NARA's institutional knowledge. The platform allows for user-generated content in the form of documents, polls, ideas, blog posts, user profiles, project management and commenting features.
The notice for this system of records states the name and the location of the record system, the authority for and manner of its operation, the categories of individuals that it covers, the types of records that it contains, the sources of information in the records, and the proposed "routine uses" of the system of records. The notice also includes the business address of the NARA official who will inform interested persons of the procedures whereby they may gain access to, and correct, records pertaining to themselves.
One of the purposes of the Privacy Act, as stated in section 2(b)(4) of the Act, is to provide certain safeguards for an individual against an invasion of personal privacy by requiring Federal agencies to disseminate any record of identifiable personal information in a manner that assures that such action is for a necessary and lawful purpose, that the information is current and accurate for its intended use, and that adequate safeguards are provided to prevent misuse of such information. NARA intends to follow these principles in transferring information to another agency or individual as a "routine use" including assurance that the information is relevant for the purposes for which it is transferred.
