Privacy Act of 1974--Establishment and Deletion of Notices of Systems of Records 
 
Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5 U.S.C. 552a), notice is hereby given that the Department of the Interior proposes to establish two new notices, and delete three notices describing systems of records maintained by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). One new notice is entitled “Name File System— Interior, LLM-31” and describes the system of records containing a central file for names of all entities transacting business with BLM, and is designed to interface with all Privacy Act Systems in BLM. The names of individuals stored in the Name File System are only those names appearing in existing BLM Privacy Act systems with which it interfaces.
 
One new notice is entitled “Land & Minerals Authorization Tracking System—Interior, LLM-32” and describes the system of records containing information pertaining to land records, including the names and addresses of claimants and applicants, area descriptions, and payments due as a result of leasing or mineral extraction. This notice combines three previously published system notices, i.e., “Alaska Native Claims—Interior, BLM-5” which was previously published in the Federal Register on July 10,1986 (51 FR 25107); “Land and Resource Case File—Interior, BLM-7” which was previously published in the Federal Register on July 10,1986 (51 FR 25108); and "Recordation of Mining Claims—Interior, BLM-29" which was previously published in the Federal Register on July 10,1986 (51 FR 25112). These three systems are being deleted horn the Department’s inventory of Privacy Act systems of records notices. The two proposed new systems notices are published in their entirety below.
 
As required by the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5 U.S.C. 552a(r)), the Office of Management and Budget, the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs, and the House Committee on Government Operation have been notified of this action. 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(ll) requires that the public be provided a 30-day period in which to comment on the intended use of the information in the system of records.
 
The Office of Management and Budget in its Circular A-130 requires a 60-day period to review such proposal. Therefore, written comments on this proposal can be addressed to the Department Privacy Act Officer, Office of the Secretary (PMI), Room 2242, Main Interior Building, U.S. Department of the Interior, Washington, DC 20240. Comments received within 60 days of publication in the Federal Register (April 8,1991), will be considered. The notice shall be effective as proposed without further publication at the end of the comment period, unless comments are received which would require a contrary determination.
 
Dated: January 23, 1991.
