These systems of records are those systems maintained by the NRC
that contain personal information about individuals, and from which
personal information can be retrieved by reference to an individual
identifier.
The notice for each system of records states the name and location
of the record system, the authority for and manner of its operation,
the categories of individuals that it covers, the types of records that
it contains, the sources of information in those records, and the
proposed ``routine uses'' of each system of records. Each notice also
includes the business address of the NRC official who will inform
interested persons of the procedures whereby they may gain access to
and correct records pertaining to themselves.
One of the purposes of the Privacy Act (Act), as stated in section
2(b)(4) of the Act, is to provide certain safeguards for an individual
against an invasion of personal privacy by requiring Federal agencies
to * * * ``disseminate any record of identifiable personal information
in a manner that assures that such action is for a necessary and lawful
purpose, that information is current and accurate for its intended use,
and that adequate safeguards are provided to prevent misuse of such
information.'' The NRC intends to follow these principles in
transferring information to another agency or individual as a ``routine
use,'' including assurance that the information is relevant for the
purposes for which it is transferred.
Prefatory Statement of General Routine Uses
The following routine uses apply to each system of records notice
set forth below which specifically references this Prefatory Statement
of General Routine Uses.
1. If a system of records maintained by the NRC to carry out its
functions indicates a violation of law, whether civil, criminal, or
regulatory in nature, and whether arising by general statute or
particular program statute, or by regulation, rules, or order issued
pursuant thereto, the relevant records in the system of records may be
referred, as a routine use, to the appropriate agency, whether Federal,
State, local, or foreign, charged with the responsibility of
investigating or prosecuting such violation or charged with enforcing
or implementing the statute, or rule, regulation, or order issued
pursuant thereto.
2. A record from this system of records may be disclosed, as a
routine use, to a Federal, State, local, or foreign agency, if
necessary, to obtain information relevant to an NRC decision concerning
the hiring or retention of an employee, the issuance of a security
clearance, the letting of a contract, or the issuance of a license,
grant, or other benefit.
3. A record from this system of records may be disclosed, as a
routine
[[Page 63775]]
use, to a Federal, State, local, or foreign agency in response to its
request, in connection with the hiring or retention of an employee, the
issuance of a security clearance, the reporting of an investigation of
an employee, the letting of a contract, or the issuance of a license,
grant, or other benefit by the requesting agency, to the extent that
the information is relevant and necessary to the requesting agency's
decision on the matter.
4. A record from this system of records may be disclosed, as a
routine use, in the course of discovery and in presenting evidence to a
court, magistrate, administrative tribunal, or grand jury, including
disclosures to opposing counsel in the course of settlement
negotiations.
5. Disclosure may be made, as a routine use, to a Congressional
office from the record of an individual in response to an inquiry from
the Congressional office made at the request of that individual.
6. A record from this system of records may be disclosed, as a
routine use, to NRC-paid experts, consultants, and others under
contract with the NRC, on a ``need-to-know'' basis for a purpose within
the scope of the pertinent NRC contract. This access will be granted to
an NRC contractor by a system manager only after satisfactory
justification has been provided to the system manager.

Routine Uses of Records Maintained in the System, Including Categories
of Users and the Purposes of Such Uses:
In addition to the disclosures permitted under subsection (b) of
the Privacy Act, the NRC may disclose information contained in this
system of records without the consent of the subject individual if the
disclosure is compatible with the purpose for which the record was
collected under the following routine uses:
a. To debt collection contractors (31 U.S.C. 3718) or to other
Federal agencies such as the Department of the Treasury (Treasury) for
the purpose of collecting and reporting on delinquent debts as
authorized by the Debt Collection Act of 1982 or the Debt Collection
Improvement Act (DCIA) of 1996;
b. To Treasury; the Defense Manpower Data Center, Department of
Defense; the United States Postal Service; government corporations; or
any other Federal, State, or local agency to conduct an authorized
computer matching program in compliance with the Privacy Act of 1974,
as amended, to identify and locate individuals, including Federal
employees, who are delinquent in their repayment of certain debts owed
to the U.S. Government, including those incurred under certain programs
or services administered by the NRC, in order to collect debts under
common law or under the provisions of the Debt Collection Act of 1982
or the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 which include by
voluntary repayment, administrative or salary offset, and referral to
debt collection contractors.
c. To the Department of Justice, United States Attorney, Treasury,
or other Federal agencies for further collection action on any
delinquent account when circumstances warrant.
d. To credit reporting agencies/credit bureaus for the purpose of
either adding to a credit history file or obtaining a credit history
file or comparable credit information for use in the administration of
debt collection. As authorized by the DCIA, NRC may report current (not
delinquent) as well as delinquent consumer and commercial debt to these
entities in order to aid in the collection of debts, typically by
providing an incentive to the person to repay the debt timely.
Revisions to the Federal Claims Collection Standards (FCCS) published
in the Federal Register on November 22, 2000 (65 FR 70404), direct
agencies to report information on delinquent debts to the Department of
Housing and Urban Development's Credit Alert Interactive Voice Response
System (CAIVRS). NRC will report this information to CAIVRS if this
requirement is contained in the final rule amending the FCCS.
e. To any Federal agency where the debtor is employed or receiving
some form of remuneration for the purpose of enabling that agency to
collect a debt owed the Federal Government on NRC's behalf by
counseling the debtor for voluntary repayment or by initiating
administrative or salary offset procedures, or other authorized debt
collection methods under the provisions of the Debt Collection Act of
1982 or the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996. Under the DCIA,
NRC may garnish non-Federal wages of certain delinquent debtors so long
as required due process procedures are followed. In these instances,
NRC's notice to the employer will disclose only the information that
may be necessary for the employer to comply with the withholding order.
f. To the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) by computer matching to
obtain the mailing address of a taxpayer for the purpose of locating
such taxpayer to collect or to compromise a Federal claim by NRC
against the taxpayer under 26 U.S.C. 6103(m)(2) and under 31 U.S.C.
3711, 3717, and 3718 or common law. Redisclosure of a mailing address
obtained from the IRS may be made only for debt collection purposes,
including to a debt collection agent to facilitate the collection or
compromise of a Federal claim under the Debt Collection Act of 1982 or
the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, except that redisclosure
of a mailing address to a reporting agency is for the limited purpose
of obtaining a credit report on the particular taxpayer. Any mailing
address information obtained from the IRS will not be used or shared
for any other NRC purpose or disclosed by NRC to another Federal,
State, or local agency which seeks to locate the same taxpayer for its
own debt collection purposes.
g. To refer legally enforceable debts to the IRS or to Treasury's
Debt Management Services to be offset against the debtor's tax refunds
under the Federal Tax Refund Offset Program.
h. To prepare W-2, 1099, or other forms or electronic submittals,
to forward to the IRS and applicable State and local governments for
tax reporting purposes. Under the provisions of the DCIA, NRC is
permitted to provide Treasury with Form 1099-C information on
discharged debts so that Treasury may file the form on NRC's behalf
with the IRS. W-2 and 1099 Forms contain information on items to be
considered as income to an individual, including certain travel related
payments to employees, payments made to persons not treated as
employees (e.g., fees to consultants and experts), and amounts written-
off as legally or administratively uncollectible, in whole or in part.
i. To banks enrolled in the Treasury Credit Card Network to collect
a payment or debt when the individual has given his or her credit card
number for this purpose.
j. To another Federal agency that has asked the NRC to effect an
administrative offset under common law or under 31 U.S.C. 3716 to help
collect a debt owed the United States. Disclosure under this routine
use is limited to name, address, SSN, TIN, ITIN, and other information
necessary to identify the individual; information about the money
payable to or held for the individual; and other information concerning
the administrative offset.
k. To Treasury or other Federal agencies with whom NRC has entered
into an agreement establishing the terms and conditions for debt
collection cross servicing operations on behalf of the NRC to satisfy,
in whole or in part, debts owed to the U.S. Government. Cross servicing
includes the possible use of all debt collection tools such as
administrative offset, tax refund offset, referral to debt collection
contractors, and referral to the Department of Justice. The DCIA
requires agencies to transfer to Treasury or Treasury-designated Debt
Collection Centers for cross servicing certain nontax debt over 180
days delinquent. Treasury has the authority to act in the Federal
Government's best interest to service, collect, compromise, suspend, or
terminate collection action under existing laws under which the debts
arise.
l. Information on past due, legally enforceable nontax debts more
than 180 days delinquent will be referred to Treasury for the purpose
of locating the debtor and/or effecting administrative offset against
monies payable by the government to the debtor, or held by the
[[Page 63798]]
government for the debtor under the DCIA's mandatory, government-wide
Treasury Offset Program (TOP). Under TOP, Treasury maintains a database
of all qualified delinquent nontax debts, and works with agencies to
match by computer their payments against the delinquent debtor database
in order to divert payments to pay the delinquent debt. Treasury has
the authority to waive the computer matching requirement for NRC and
other agencies upon written certification that administrative due
process notice requirements have been complied with.
m. For debt collection purposes, NRC may publish or otherwise
publicly disseminate information regarding the identity of delinquent
nontax debtors and the existence of the nontax debts under the
provisions of the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996.
n. To the Department of Labor (DOL) and the Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS) to conduct an authorized computer matching
program in compliance with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, to
match NRC's debtor records with records of DOL and HHS to obtain names,
name controls, names of employers, addresses, dates of birth, and TINs.
The DCIA requires all Federal agencies to obtain taxpayer
identification numbers from each individual or entity doing business
with the agency, including applicants and recipients of licenses,
grants, or benefit payments; contractors; and entities and individuals
owing fines, fees, or penalties to the agency. NRC will use TINs in
collecting and reporting any delinquent amounts resulting from the
activity and in making payments.
o. If NRC decides or is required to sell a delinquent nontax debt
under 31 U.S.C. 3711(i), information in this system of records may be
disclosed to purchasers, potential purchasers, and contractors engaged
to assist in the sale or to obtain information necessary for potential
purchasers to formulate bids and information necessary for purchasers
to pursue collection remedies.
p. If NRC has current and delinquent collateralized nontax debts
under 31 U.S.C. 3711(i)(4)(A), certain information in this system of
records on its portfolio of loans, notes and guarantees, and other
collateralized debts will be reported to Congress based on standards
developed by the Office of Management and Budget, in consultation with
Treasury.
q. To Treasury in order to request a payment to individuals owed
money by the NRC.
r. To the National Archives and Records Administration or to the
General Services Administration for records management inspections
conducted under 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906.
s. For any of the routine uses specified in the Prefatory Statement
of General Routine Uses.
