[November 9, 1998 (Volume 63, Number 216)] [Unified Agenda] From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [frwais.access.gpo.gov] [DOCID:ua09no98_045-2] [Page 62632] UNITED STATES INFORMATION AGENCY (USIA) Long-Term Actions _______________________________________________________________________ 4235. PRIVACY ACT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES Priority: Info./Admin./Other Reinventing Government: This rulemaking is part of the Reinventing Government effort. It will revise text in the CFR to reduce burden or duplication, or streamline requirements. Legal Authority: 5 USC 552 CFR Citation: 22 CFR 505 Legal Deadline: None Abstract: This document updates and replaces the Agency's prior regulation implementing the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. The update and replacement were made necessary by changes during USIA's reorganization and realignment of functions and responsibilities when the Agency changed names and again when the Agency began to reinvent itself in response to Government downsizing. The Agency's regulation had not been updated since 1975 and changes in nomenclature and differences in processing Privacy Act requests necessitated these changes. The changes primarily update the definitions, the processes for receiving and handling requests, and to whom to send requests for Privacy Act records. It also better explains the exemptions that the U.S. Information Agency is allowed to use and routine uses.
