SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a),
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service of the Department of the Interior is
issuing public notice of its intent to amend 19 existing Privacy Act

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.

amendments may do so by submitting comments in writing to the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service Privacy Act Officer, Johnny R. Hunt, 4401 North

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Privacy
Act Officer, Johnny R. Hunt, 4401 North Fairfax Drive, Division of

Square Building, 4401 North Fairfax Drive, Arlington, VA 22203, or by
e-mail to Johnny_Hunt@fws.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 22, 2007, in a memorandum for the
heads of Executive Departments and Agencies entitled ``Safeguarding
Against and Responding to the Breach of Personally Identifiable
Information,'' the Office of Management and Budget directed agencies to
develop and publish a routine use for disclosure of information in
connection with response and remedial efforts in the event of a data
breach. This routine use will serve to protect the interests of the
individuals, whose information is at issue by allowing agencies to take
appropriate steps to facilitate a timely and effective response to the
breach, thereby improving the agency's ability to prevent, minimize, or
remedy any harm resulting from a compromise of data maintained in its
systems of records. Accordingly, the Fish and Wildlife Service of the
Department of the Interior is proposing to add a new routine use to
authorize disclosure to appropriate agencies, entities, and persons of
information maintained in the following systems in the event of a data
breach. These amendments will be effective as proposed at the end of
the comment period unless comments are received that would require a
contrary determination. We will publish a revised notice if changes are
made based upon a review of comments received.
Johnny R. Hunt,
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Privacy Act Officer.
