Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records
AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), DOE.
ACTION: Rescindment of a system of records notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974 and Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) Circular No. A-108, the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (Commission or FERC) proposes to rescind an existing system
of records notice (SORN). Specifically, the following SORN is being
proposed for rescindment ``Commission Employee Suggestions File (FERC-
20)''. The basis for rescindment is explained below.
DATES: Comments on this rescindment notice must be received no later
than 30 days after the date of publication in the Federal Register. If
no public comment is received during the period allowed for comment or
unless otherwise published in the Federal Register by FERC, the
rescindment will become effective a minimum of 30 days after the date
of publication in the Federal Register. If FERC receives public
comments, FERC shall review the comments to determine whether any
changes to the notice are necessary.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted in writing to Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Washington, DC 20426 or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Commission Employee Suggestions File (FERC--
20) was identified for rescindment from FERC's Privacy Act systems of
records inventory because the records are not Privacy Act records. Mere
maintenance of personal information about an individual is not enough
to create Privacy Act system of records. To satisfy the elements of a
system of records, there must be (1) group of records; (2) under the
control of a Government agency; and (3) those records must be retrieved
by a personal identifier. Under the Privacy Act, a record is defined as
``any item, collection, or grouping of information about an individual
that is maintained by an agency.'' FERC accepts employee suggestions ad
hoc during meetings or through communication with the Workforce
Relations Division. The Commission is rescinding this System of Records
Notice because the Program collects no individual identifiers on which
searches are conducted, thereby making a System of Records Notice
unnecessary.
SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:
Commission Employee Suggestions File (FERC-20).
