Abstract

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (Privacy Act), and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-108, "Federal Agency Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, and Publication under the Privacy Act," the Department of Commerce (the Department) is issuing this notice of its intent to amend the system of records under "COMMERCE/DEPT-12, OIG Investigative Records" to change the system name to "COMMERCE/OIG-1, OIG Investigative Records," and to generally update the system's notice. This system of records is used by the Department's Office of Inspector General (OIG) to carry out its statutory responsibilities under the Inspector General Act of 1978, as amended (Inspector General Act) to conduct and supervise investigations, prevent and detect fraud, waste, mismanagement, and abuse, and promote economy, efficiency, and effectiveness in Department programs and operations. We invite public comment on the system amendments announced in this publication.
