DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
 
Office of the Secretary
 
Privacy Act of 1974; As Amended; Revisions to an Existing System of Records
 
AGENCY:  Office of the Secretary, Department of the Interior.
 
ACTION:  Proposed revisions to an existing system of records.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY:  In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5 U.S.C. 552a), the Office of the Secretary (OS) is issuing public notice of its intent to modify an existing Privacy Act system of records notice, OS-82, “Executive and Manager Development Program (EMDP).” The revisions will update the system name and number, the categories of records in the system, safeguards, and retention and disposal statements, and address of the system locations and system managers.
 
EFFECTIVE DATE:  These actions will be effective on April 23, 1999.
 
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  Team Leader, Executive Resources and Career Management Group, Office of Personnel Policy, U.S. Department of the Interior, 1849 C Street NW, MS-5221 MIB, Washington, DC 20240.
 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  The Department of the Interior is proposing to amend the system notice for OS-82, “Executive and Manager Development Program (EMDP),” to update the name of the system to more adequately describe the current executive and managerial training being provided to Departmental employees, and the system number to more accurately reflect the Department-wide scope of the system. The Executive and Manager Development Program described in the system notice when it was first published has been replaced by the Senior Executive Service Candidate Development Program, a competitive twelve-month developmental program open to GS-14 and GS-15 applicants to enhance candidates' managerial and leadership skills in preparation for Office of Personnel Management certification of graduates’ managerial competencies for noncompetitive Senior Executive Service selection, and the Team Leadership Program, a related developmental program open to applicants at the GS-11 through GS-13 levels. The Department is also proposing to update the categories of records in the system statement to indicate, more specifically, what types of records are being maintained on individuals covered by the system, and to update the safeguards and retention and disposal statements and the address of the system locations and system managers to reflect changes that have occurred since the notice was last published. Accordingly, the Department of the Interior proposes to amend the “Executive and Manager Development Program (EMDP),” OS-82 system notice in its entirety to read as follows:
