		Under the act, personal data is referred to as "records" and "system of records." The privacy law prohibits agencies from disclosing personal records to anyone without written consent, with few exceptions.

	Privacy Act of 1974; Specific Exemptions
		The Inspector General Act, 5 U.S.C. App., authorizes the Office of Inspector General of the Commission to conduct investigations to detect fraud and abuse in the programs and operations of the Commission and to assist in the prosecution of participants in such fraud or abuse.
		Further, the imposition of certain Privacy Act restrictions on the manner in which information is collected, verified, or retained could significantly impede the effectiveness of the Inspector General's investigations and could preclude the apprehension and successful prosecution of persons engaged in fraud or criminal activity.
		Thus, the Commission is issuing a rule to exempt this system of records from certain provisions of the Privacy Act where application of the Privacy Act would interfere with the conduct of an investigation by the Inspector General.

	History of the Privacy Act of 1974
		One of the more significant influences on the Privacy Act (as well as on other Federal, state, and local privacy legislation) was the Report of the Secretary's Advisory Committee on Automated Data Systems commissioned by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare.
		This has been reflected in the Privacy Act by provisions requiring the publication of an annual public notice in the Federal Register, as well as public notices for changes to an existing system of records or the establishment of a new system of records.
		Embodied in the Act are provisions specifying procedures which must be implemented by agencies for handling requests from an individual to amend his record or to review an initial adverse decision on a request to amend his record.
