DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
31 CFR Part 1
Departmental Offices; Privacy Act of 1974; Implementation
AGENCY: Departmental Offices, Treasury.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of
1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Department of the Treasury gives notice of
amendments to this part to exemptions claimed for seven systems of
records formerly maintained by the Internal Revenue Service and that
have been transferred to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax
Administration and consolidated as Treasury/DO .311-TIGTA Office of
Investigations Files.
EFFECTIVE DATE: June 2, 2003.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lori Creswell, Assistant Chief
Counsel, Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, 1125 15th
Street, Room 700A, Washington, DC 20005, (202) 622-4068.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This amendment reflects the transfer of
investigative responsibility from the Chief Inspector's Office of the
Internal Revenue Service to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax
Administration (TIGTA). The Chief Inspector's Office maintained
information in the following exempt systems of records:
Treasury/IRS 60.001--Assault and Threat Investigation Files,
Inspection.
Treasury/IRS 60.002--Bribery Investigation Files, Inspection.
Treasury/IRS 60.003--Conduct Investigation Files, Inspection.
Treasury/IRS 60.004--Disclosure Investigation Files, Inspection.
Treasury/IRS 60.006--Enrollee Charge Investigation Files, Inspection.
Treasury/IRS 60.007--Miscellaneous Information File, Inspection.
Treasury/IRS 60.009--Special Inquiry Investigation Files, Inspection.
The above systems of records maintained by the Chief Inspector's
Office of the Internal Revenue Service have been consolidated and
renamed as ``Treasury/DO .311-TIGTA Office of Investigations Files.''
This final rule removes the exempted systems of records maintained by
the Office of the Chief Inspector, IRS from sections (c)(1)(viii) and
(g)(1)(iii) and adds the consolidated system of records Treasury/DO
.311-TIGTA Office of Investigations Files to sections (c)(1)(i) and
(g)(1)(i). A notice reflecting the alterations to these systems of
records is being published separately in the Federal Register.
The Department of the Treasury published a revised regulation
setting out the exemptions claimed for these systems of records
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) and (k) in the Federal Register, at 65
FR 69865, on November 21, 2000.
These regulations are being published as a final rule because the
amendment does not impose any requirements on any member of the public.
This amendment is the most efficient means for the Treasury Department
to comply with the Privacy Act.
Accordingly, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) and (d)(3), the
Department of the Treasury finds good cause that prior notice and other
public procedure with respect to this rule are impracticable and
unnecessary and finds good cause for making this rule effective on the
date of publication in the Federal Register.
In accordance with Executive Order 128662, it has been determined
that this rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and,
therefore, does not require a Regulatory Impact Analysis.
Because no notice of proposed rulemaking is required, the
provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do
not apply.
In accordance with the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C 3501 et seq.), the Department of the Treasury has
determined that this rule will not impose new record-keeping,
application, reporting, or other types of information collection
requirements.
