SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A brief description of the major changes follows:
Universal Routine Uses: EEOC proposes to add two routine uses applicable to all systems of records. One would permit EEOC to disclose records reasonably necessary to respond to a suspected or confirmed breach of the system of records where EEOC determines there may be a risk of harm to individuals, EEOC, or the Federal government. The second proposed routine use would allow EEOC to disclose records to other Federal agencies to assist in their efforts to respond to a suspected or confirmed breach.
EEOC-1 Age and Equal Pay Act Discrimination Case Files and EEOC-3 Title VII, Americans with Disabilities Act, and Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act Discrimination Case Files: A routine use that permits disclosure to other federal agencies in accordance with Memoranda of Understanding or similar agreements between EEOC and other agencies that provide for coordination and cooperation in EEOC's employment discrimination enforcement efforts is proposed. The retention and disposal sections are updated.
EEOC-3 Title VII, Americans with Disabilities Act, and Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act Discrimination Case Files: The system was updated to add Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) files. A routine use that permits disclosure to other federal agencies in accordance with Memoranda of Understanding or similar agreements between EEOC and other agencies that provide for coordination and cooperation in EEOC's employment discrimination enforcement efforts is proposed.
EEOC 6 Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act Records: This new system of records replaces the obsolete Employee Assistance Program Records system and covers all Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and Privacy Act requests, administrative appeals, responses, and related records. These records were previously included in
EEOC-9 Claims Collection Records: Three obsolete routine uses are removed, as is an obsolete reference to consumer reporting agencies.
EEOC-14 Reserved: We have removed the Employee Parking Records system because those records are no longer collected by EEOC, but are collected by the private building management company at EEOC's headquarters building.
EEOC-15 Internal Harassment Inquiries: We have removed routine use (h) as unnecessary since disclosures could be made under the "need to know" exception. We propose to add a new routine use (h) to permit disclosures to the alleged harasser in the event of a disciplinary proceeding.
EEOC-16 Office of Inspector General Investigative Files: We propose a new routine use permitting disclosures during peer reviews.
EEOC-17 Defensive Litigation Files: The system is updated to reflect that internal defensive litigation files are maintained in the
EEOC-18 Reasonable Accommodation Records: We added notification procedures, record access procedures, contesting records procedures, and record source categories.
The proposed universal routine uses, the routine uses in the one new system of records noted above and the proposed new routine uses in two existing systems meet the compatibility criteria since the information involved is collected for the purpose of the applicable routine uses. We anticipate that any disclosure pursuant to these routine uses will not result in any unwarranted adverse effects on personal privacy.
A complete list of all EEOC systems of records is published below. The complete text of the notices follows.

b. To another Federal agency or Federal entity when information from this system of records is reasonably necessary to assist the recipient agency or entity in (1) responding to a suspected or confirmed breach or (2) preventing, minimizing, or remedying the risk of harm to individuals, the agency (including its information systems, programs, and operations), or the Federal government.
