Creation of a New System of Records

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of creation of a new system of records notice.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 
U.S.C. 552a), the Office of Administration and Resources Management 
gives notice that it proposes to create a new system of records for its 
administrative systems by transferring the Inspector General's 
Operation and Reporting (IGOR) system of records (EPA-41) from the 
Office of the Inspector General to the Office of Administration and 
Resources Management and renaming it Office of Administration Services 
Information System (OASIS). In addition to the exempted personnel 
security files currently covered under EPA-41, records in the following 
Privacy Act systems are being transferred to OASIS: Wellness Program 
Medical Records (EPA-3); EPA Parking Control Office File (EPA-10); and 
the EPA Transit Program Files.

DATES: Persons wishing to comment on this system of records notice may 
do so by October 10, 2006.

encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses. For additional 
information about EPA's public docket visit the EPA Docket Center 
homepage at http://www.epa.gov/epahome/dockets.htm.

copy. Publicly available docket materials are available either 
electronically in http://www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at the OEI

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information

    The Office of Administration and Resources Management plans to 
create a Privacy Act system of records for its administrative systems, 
i.e., OASIS. Details regarding the system of records are contained in 
this Federal Register Notice. OASIS maintains records that are used to 
administer and manage the administrative resources of the EPA. These 
actions effect no changes in the privacy protections of the affected 
category of records. Access to the system is restricted to authorized 
users and will be maintained in a secure, password protected computer 
system, in secure areas and buildings with physical access controls and 
environmental controls. The system is maintained by the Office of 
Administration and Resources Management.
