b.

What is the source of this information? Will it come from internal agency sources and/or external sources? Explain in detail.

A WebACTS user (with the appropriate privileges) is an ACRS manager, technical engineer, program assistant or management analyst. The user enters the information from internal agency sources. The schedule of ACRS Committee meetings depends on the schedule of work set by program offices or from external sources. The system contains data items for tracking the identified tasks and the capability to re-create, capture, save and archive necessary U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) forms associated with each task, i.e. NRC Form 279, Official Travel Authorization.

USES OF SYSTEM AND INFORMATION C.

These questions will identify the use of the information and the accuracy of the data being used.

Describe all uses made of the data in this system.

1.

Note: The limited amount of personal data (i.e., Name, work address, e-mail address, and phone numbers) is only visible to system administrator and authorized users and is entered by ACRS staff into WebACTS in order to support the daily functions of the ACRS staff. The systems objective is not to collect information about the public nor is it imposing an information collection burden on the public. Therefore, Section C has been viewed as Not Applicable (N/A).

Administratively, WebACTS will produce custom reports on a variety of sorted

information, e.g., an alphabetical listing of the current members and their term dates (limited to 4 years), displaying checklist for new committee members (to show which NRC forms have been processed and which ones are pending),

display renewal/exit checklist for members List of TACS used by ACRS, VISA log expenditures per month.

PIA Template (12-2020) 9 Technically, WebACTS produces reports on Committees future activities

which are used for planning purposes with the Office of the Executive Director for Operations, the Operating Plan, etc.

What are the reports used for?

a.

Reports serve a variety of operational and managerial needs:

To determine if there are schedule conflicts to set up a committee/sub-

committee meeting.

To monitor member and engineering/scientist workloads to maintain a

balance of work among the technical staff.

To obtain information on the Committee member to send the technical

topics for review to them prior to Committee meetings.

RECORDS AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT (RIM) - RETENTION AND E.

DISPOSAL The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), in collaboration with federal agencies, approves whether records are temporary (eligible at some point for destruction/deletion because they no longer have business value) or permanent (eligible at some point to be transferred to the National Archives because of historical or evidential significance). These determinations are made through records retention schedules and NARA statutes (44 United States Code (U.S.C.), 36 Code of Federation Regulations (CFR)). Under 36 CFR 1234.10, agencies are required to establish procedures for addressing records management requirements, including recordkeeping requirements and disposition, before approving new electronic information systems or enhancements to existing systems. The following question is intended to determine whether the records and data/information in the system have approved records retention schedule and disposition instructions, whether the system incorporates Records and Information Management and NARAs Universal Electronic Records Management requirements, and if a strategy is needed to ensure compliance.

Can you map this system to an applicable retention schedule in 1)

NRCs Comprehensive Records Disposition Schedule (NUREG-0910), or NARAs General Records Schedules (GRS)?

Yes.

PIA Template (12-2020) 11 If yes, please cite the schedule number, approved disposition, and a.

describe how this is accomplished (then move to F.1).

For example, will the records or a composite thereof be

deleted once they reach their approved retention or exported to an approved file format for transfer to the National Archives based on their approved disposition?
