Summary

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC, Commission, or Agency) has modified an existing system of records, FCC/EB-5, Enforcement Bureau Activity Tracking System (EBATS), subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. This action is necessary to meet the requirements of the Privacy Act to publish in the Federal Register notice of the existence and character of records maintained by the agency. The FCC's Enforcement Bureau (EB) uses EBATS to track its investigations into possible violations of Federal communications laws and regulations. This modification updates the applicable records retention and disposal schedule; updates the language, including section headers, in this SORN to be consistent with the general language currently used in FCC SORNs as well as recommendations by current OMB guidance and administrative changes; makes minor clerical corrections; adds two routine uses; deletes two routine uses; and updates seven routine uses.

The agency’s own summary, as published.
