A few gems...
SUMMARY: The National Security Agency/Central Security Services (NSA/
CSS) is revising its Privacy Act Program procedural and exemption
rules. Revisions include updating the responsibilities assigned to NSA/
CSS personnel, and establishing a queue to process Privacy Act
requests. Requesters will no longer be required to wait a long period
of time to learn that the Agency has a no records responsive to their
requests or to obtain records that require minimal review.
The NSA/CSS exemption rules have been revised to add specific
subsections of 5 U.S.C. 552a from which information may be exempt, and
to add the reasons for taking the specific subsections.
SUMMARY: The Office of Foreign Assets Control (``OFAC'') of the U.S.
Department of the Treasury is amending the Iraqi Sanctions Regulations,
to include four general licenses issued May 7, 2003. Subject to certain
conditions, these general licenses authorize the following activities
involving Iraq: non-commercial funds transfers (including family
remittances) and related transactions, activities by the U.S.
Government and its contractors or grantees, privately financed
humanitarian transactions, and certain exports and reexports to Iraq.
OFAC also is publishing a technical amendment to its regulatory
definition of the terms ``humanitarian activities,'' ``humanitarian
purposes,'' and ``humanitarian support.''
