1982 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION ON THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE PRIVACY ACT OF 1974 Agency Analysis of Data Provided During 1982, the NRC updated its' Systems of Records to assure that i
records maintained in each system were properly described in the system i
notice. Systems were also reviewed to assure that the records maintained were relevant and necessary for agency purposes.
The NRC submitted its Systems of Records for annual publication on September 30, 1982 (47 FR i
43212-43235).
At the end of 1982, the NRC maintained 38 personal data systems subject to the Privacy Act of 1974.
These systems contain records covering about 380,000 individuals.
Over 79 percent of these are persons who at some time have been subject to radiation exposure in the course of their l
duties in the nuclear industry.
The remaining individuals represent the l
staff of licensees or applicants for licenses; persons who have corresponded with the NRC; NRC employees or applicants for employment; and individuals who are on NRC mailing lists.
NRC Systems of Records are periodically screened to remove obsolete information, in accordance with approved record disposal schedules.
During 1982 no new NRC Systems of Records were established.
l The NRC received 26 Privacy Act requests in 1982, 11 of which were submitted under both the Privacy and Freadem of Information Acts.
Twenty-four of the requests sought access to records, while two requesters
)
sought corrections to their records.
There was one denial using the (k)(5) exemption to the Privacy Act.
The NRC has had no major problems in connection with the implementation of the Privacy Act and has no recommendations for change.
