DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

 

United States Mint

 

 

Privacy Act of 1974; Systems of Records

 

AGENCY: United States Mint, Treasury.

 

ACTION: Notice of systems of records.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of

1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the United States Mint, Treasury, is

publishing its inventory of Privacy Act systems of records.

 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974 (5

U.S.C. 552a) and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Circular

No. A-130, the United States Mint has completed a review of its Privacy

Act systems of records notices to identify changes that will more

accurately describe these records. The systems of records were last

published in their entirety on June 13, 2005, at 70 FR 34178-34185.

    The changes throughout the document are editorial in nature and

consist principally of a changing the name of the Treasury bureau from

``U.S. Mint'' to the ``United States Mint,'' clarification as to the

types of records in United States Mint .005, a change to the title of

United States Mint .009. The alterations to United States Mint .009

published on January 30, 2007, at 72 FR 4325 have also been

incorporated.

    On May 22, 2007, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued

Memorandum M-07-16 entitled ``Safeguarding Against and Responding to

the Breach of Personally Identifiable Information.'' It required

agencies to publish the routine use recommended by the President's

Identity Theft Task Force. As part of that effort, the Department

published the notice of the proposed routine use on October 3, 2007, at

72 FR 56434, and it was effective on November 13, 2007. The new routine

use has been added to each United States Mint system of records below.

    Department of the Treasury regulations require the Department to

publish the existence and character of all systems of records every

three years (31 CFR 1.23(a)(1)). The United States Mint has leveraged

this requirement to incorporate the review of its current holding of

personally identifiable information required by M-07-16. With respect

to its inventory of Privacy Act Systems of records, the United States

Mint has determined that the information contained in its systems of

records is accurate, timely, relevant, complete, and is the minimum

necessary to maintain the proper performance of a documented agency

function.
