>SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For the EPA-4 system of records, EPA is
>revising the notice to add three new routine uses: Routine use ``u''
>allows the disclosure of records to officers and employees of other
>Federal agencies for the purpose of conducting quality assessments of
>the investigative operations of the OIG; routine use ``v'' allows the
>disclosure of records to the public when the matter has become public
>knowledge, or when the Inspector General determines that such
>disclosure is necessary to preserve confidence in the integrity of the
>OIG investigative process or is necessary to demonstrate the
>accountability of EPA officers, employees, or individuals covered by
>this system, unless it is determined that disclosure of the specific
>information in the context of a particular case would constitute an
>unwarranted invasion of personal privacy; and routine use ``w'' allows
>the disclosure of records to the news media and public when there
>exists a legitimate public interest (e.g., to provide information on
>events in the criminal process, such as indictments),
>
>[[Page 46968]]
>
>or when necessary for protection from imminent threat to life or
>property.
> In addition, EPA is revising the notice to show that the categories
>of individuals covered by the system, the categories of records in the
>system, and the record source categories include complainants and
>important witnesses interviewed during OIG investigations, as well as
>the subjects of OIG investigations. Similarly, EPA is revising the
>notice to show that records are retrieved by the names of complainants
>and important witnesses interviewed during OIG investigations, as well
>as by the names of subjects of OIG investigations. EPA is revising the
>authority for maintenance of the system to add a reference to the
>Federal Records Act of 1950, as amended, 44 U.S.C. 3101. Finally, EPA
>is revising the notice to show the correct mail code of the system
>location and system manager's address and to make other minor
