Privacy Act of 1974: Implementation and Amendment of Exemptions

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, the

the Privacy Act to the extent that the records contain investigatory
materials compiled for law enforcement purposes. Additionally, the
Commission proposes to make technical amendments to its Privacy Act
regulation exempting specific systems of records from certain
provisions of the Privacy Act. In a companion release published
elsewhere in this issue, the Commission is giving concurrent notice of
three new systems of records pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before June 23, 2011.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted by any of the following methods:

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cristal Perpignan, Acting Chief
Privacy Officer, Office of Information Technology,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to, and limited by 5 U.S.C.
552a(k)(2), the Commission proposes to exempt systems of records,
``Tips, Complaints, and Referrals (TCR) Records (SEC-63)''; ``SEC
Security in the Workplace Incident Records (SEC-64)''; and ``Investor
Response Information System (IRIS) (SEC-65)'', from 5 U.S.C.
552a(c)(3), (d), (e)(1), (e)(4)(G), (H), and (I), and (f) and 17 CFR
200.303, 200.304, and 200.306, insofar as they contain investigatory
materials compiled for law enforcement purposes. The Privacy Act allows
Government agencies to exempt certain records from the notification,
access and amendment provisions. If an agency claims an exemption,
however, it must issue a rule to explain the reasons why a particular
exemption is claimed. The proposed exemption would be applicable except
under the circumstances set forth in the provisions of section (k)(2)
of the Privacy Act.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The TCR Records (SEC-63) system of records contains records related
to tips, complaints, referrals of misconduct, or related information
about actual or potential violations of the federal securities laws;
investor harm; conduct of public companies; securities professionals;
regulated entities; and associated persons. This system of records may
include investigatory materials that were compiled in connection with
the Commission's enforcement responsibilities under the federal
securities laws. Such material may consist of unsolicited and often
unverified statements concerning individuals, information received from
confidential sources, as well as reports

from the Commission's investigators and other law enforcement
personnel. The disclosure of the existence of investigatory materials
could seriously undermine effective enforcement of the federal
securities laws by prematurely alerting individuals to the fact that
they are under investigation, by giving them access to the evidentiary
bases for a Commission enforcement action or seriously hampering the
Commission's case in court or before an administrative law judge.
    The SEC Security in the Workplace Incident Records (SEC-64) system
of records contains records related to reports involving incidents of
assault, harassment, intimidation, bullying, weapons possession, or
threats at the SEC. This system of records may include investigatory
materials that were compiled in connection with inquiries or
investigation of potential or actual incidents of violence by and
against individuals at an SEC facility. The disclosure of information
as it relates to investigatory materials or the identity of sources of
information may seriously undermine the safety and security of
employees in the workplace. Access to such information could allow the
subject of an investigation or inquiry of an actual or potential
criminal or civil violation to interfere with and impede the
investigation, tamper with witnesses or evidence, and to avoid
detection or apprehension.
    The IRIS (SEC-65) system of records contains records related to
complaints/inquiries/requests from members of the public and others.
This system of records may include investigatory materials that were
compiled in connection with the Commission's enforcement
responsibilities under the federal securities laws. Such material may
consist of unsolicited and often unverified statements concerning
individuals, information received from confidential sources, as well as
reports from the Commission's investigators and other law enforcement
personnel. The disclosure of the existence of investigatory materials
could seriously undermine effective enforcement of the federal
securities laws by prematurely alerting individuals to the fact that
they are under investigation, by giving them access to the evidentiary
bases for a commission enforcement action or seriously hampering the
Commission's case in court or before an administrative law judge.
    The Commission also proposes to amend its inventory of exempted
systems of records by changing the name of the system of records
titled: ``Office of Personnel Code of Conduct and Employee Performance
Files (SEC-38)'' to ``Disciplinary and Adverse Actions, Employee
Conduct, and Labor Relations Files''. In a companion release the
Commission is publishing a Privacy Act system of records notice to make
technical amendments to this system of records to incorporate minor
corrective and administrative modifications that have occurred since
the notice was last published and will update the system name to more
accurately reflect the records contained in the system. The Commission
is amending its inventory of exempted systems of records reflect the
new title of this system of records.
    Finally, the Commission is making a technical amendment to its
inventory of exempted systems of records by removing a reference to the
system of records titled: ``Personnel Security Files''. On August 8,
2000 (65 FR 49037), the Commission published notice to delete this
system of records as the records were duplicative of records in:
``Personnel Investigations Records (OPM/Central-9)'', published by the
United States Office of Personnel Management.

General Request for Comment

    The Commission requests comment on the proposed amendments in this
release.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    The proposed amendments do not contain a ``collection of
information'' requirement within the meaning of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995.'' \2\ Accordingly, the Paperwork Reduction Act is not
applicable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cost-Benefit Analysis

    The Commission is sensitive to the costs and benefits that result
from its rules. This proposal would exempt portions of three new
systems of records from provisions of the Privacy Act in so far as the
records contain investigatory materials compiled for law enforcement
purposes. As more fully described above, the TCR Records system of
records, the SEC Security in the Workplace Incident Reports system of
records and the IRIS system of records may include investigatory
materials compiled in connection with the Commission's enforcement of
the federal securities laws, in connection with potential or actual
incidents of workplace violence, or in connection with public
complaints/inquiries/request. Access to or disclosure of the
investigatory materials in these systems of records could seriously
undermine the effective enforcement of the Federal securities laws, and
the safety and security of Commission employees in the workplace. We
recognize that our proposed amendments may impose costs on individuals
who may wish to obtain access to records that contain investigatory
materials in these systems of records. Congress seems to have
contemplated these costs in promulgating the exemption in 5 U.S.C.
552a(k)(2).

Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification

    Section 3(a) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 \3\
(``RFA'') requires the Commission to undertake an initial regulatory
flexibility analysis of the proposed rule amendments on small entities
unless the Commission certifies that the proposal, if adopted, would
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.\4\ Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 605(b), the Commission hereby
certifies that the proposed amendments to 17 CFR 200.312 would not, if
adopted, have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities. The proposed amendments would exempt portions of three
new systems of records from provisions of the Privacy Act in so far as
the records contain investigatory materials compiled for law
enforcement purposes. Because the proposed amendments would apply
solely to private individuals, the proposed amendments would not, if
adopted, have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
``small entities,'' as defined by the RFA.\5\ We encourage written
comments regarding this certification.

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2021-0135]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zones; Fireworks Displays, Air Shows and Swim Events in
Captain of the Port Long Island Sound Zone

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is proposing to add one safety zone for the
Dolan Family Labor Day Fireworks event on Oyster Bay, NY, and remove
six other annual recurring marine events in Coast Guard Sector Long
Island Sound's Captain of the Port Zone. This proposed rule is intended
to expedite public information and to ensure the protection of the
maritime public and event participants from the hazards associated with
certain marine events. When enforced, the safety zones would restrict
vessels from transiting the regulated area during annually recurring
events. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before July 14, 2021.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2021-0135 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at https://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further
instructions on submitting comments.

proposed rulemaking, call or email Marine Science Technician 1st Class

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    Marine events are held on an annual recurring basis on the
navigable waters within the Coast Guard Sector Long Island Sound
Captain of the Port (COTP) Zone. The Coast Guard has established safety
zones for some of these annually recurring events on a case by case
basis to ensure the protection of the maritime public and event
participants from potential hazards.
    Regulations establishing safety zones to restrict vessel traffic
are located in part 165 of Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
Section 165.151 in part 165 establishes safety zones to ensure the
safety and security of marine related events, participants, and
spectators in Sector Long Island Sound's area of responsibility. The
COTP of Long Island Sound proposes to amend Table 1 and 2 of 33 CFR
165.151 Safety Zones; Fireworks Displays, Air Shows, and Swim Events in
the COTP Long Island Zone because updating the recurring events will
considerably reduce administrative overhead and provide the public with
notice through publication in the Federal Register of the upcoming
recurring safety zone.
    The Secretary of Homeland Security has delegated to the Coast Guard
authority under section 70041 of Title 46 of the U.S. Code (46 U.S.C.
70041) to issue these regulations.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The Coast Guard proposes to establish a safety zone for the annual
Dolan Family Labor Day Fireworks event by adding this event to Table 1
to CFR 165.151. The event would occur on a single day in September at a
time to be determined. The regulated area would encompass waters of
Long Island Sound off of Oyster Bay, NY. When enforced on the single
day in September each year, this safety zone would restrict vessels
from transiting the regulated area. The specific proposed description
of this proposed regulation appears at the end of this document.
    Additionally, this rulemaking proposes to update Table 1 and 2 to
CFR 165.151 by removing six events that no longer take place. The Coast
Guard proposes to remove event 5.1 Jones Beach Air Show safety zone
from Table 1 and remove five events from Table 2: (1) 1.1 Swim Across
the Sound; (2) 1.3 Maggie Fischer Memorial Great South Bay Cross Bay
Swim; (3) 1.4 Waves of Hope Swim; (4) 1.5 Stonewall Swim; and (5) 1.6
Swim Across America Greenwich safety zones.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders, and
we discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. This NPRM has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, the NPRM
has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, duration, and time-of-day of the established safety zones.
Moreover, the Coast Guard would issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners
vis VHF-FM marine channel 16 about the safety zone and the rule would
allow vessels to seek permission to enter the area. Vessel traffic
would also be able to request permission from the COTP or a designated
representative to enter the restricted area.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this
proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
IV.A above, this proposed rule would not have a significant economic
impact on any vessel owner or operator.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule. If the rule would affect
your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you
have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance,
please call or email the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this proposed rule or any
policy or action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would not call for a new collection of
information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132
(Federalism), if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on
the relationship between the National Government and the States, or on
the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels
of government. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and
have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175 (Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments) because it would not

have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes, on the
relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on
the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes. If you believe this proposed rule has
implications for federalism or Indian tribes, please call or email the
person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this proposed rule would not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Directive 023-01, Rev. 1, associated implementing
instructions, and Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series),
which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have made
a preliminary determination that this action is one of a category of
actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant
effect on the human environment. This proposed rule involves adding and
removing an annually recurring marine event in Table 1 in 33 CFR
165.151 and removing five recurring marine events from Table 2 in 33
CFR 165.151. Normally such actions are categorically excluded from
further review under paragraph L60(a) and L60(b) of Appendix A, Table 1
of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. A preliminary Record
of Environmental Consideration supporting this determination is
available in the docket. For instructions on locating the docket, see
the ADDRESSES section of this preamble. We seek any comments or
information that may lead to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this proposed rule.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to call or email the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so
that your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places, or vessels.

Public Service Commission of Wisconsin v. Midcontinent
Independent System Operator, Inc.; Notice of Complaint

    Take notice that on April 3, 2014, the Public Service Commission of
Wisconsin (PSCW) filed a formal complaint against Midcontinent
Independent System Operator, Inc. (MISO) pursuant to sections 206 and
306 of the Federal Power Act (FPA),\1\ and Rule 206 of the Rules of
Practice and Procedures \2\ of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission), alleging that a provision of Module A, section 38.2.7.k
of MISO's Open Access Transmission, Energy and Operating Reserves
Markets, and the provision's implementation in Rate Schedule 43G with
respect to a System Support Resource Agreement between MISO and
Wisconsin Electric Power Company is unjust, unreasonable, and unduly
discriminatory.
