SUMMARY: The Federal Housing Finance Board (Finance Board) is adopting as a final rule the interim final rule that revised the agency’s implementing regulation under the Privacy Act of 1974 (Privacy Act) to include new sections concerning security of systems of records, use and collection of social security numbers, and employee responsibilities under the Privacy Act. The rule also amended the fee schedule in the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) regulation, which the Finance Board uses to determine the amount of the fee it charges to duplicate records under both the FOIA and the Privacy Act, to take into account increased salary and operating costs.
DATES: The final rule will become effective on February 7, 2007.
