Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is amending the system of records currently listed under "COMMERCE/ PAT-TM-18 USPTO Identification and Security Access Control Systems." This action is being taken to revise the Privacy Act Notice to include the information necessary for identification cards that meet the standards set by Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) "Policy for a Common Identification Standard for Federal Employees and Contractors" (August 27, 2004). The system of records will also be renamed "COMMERCE/PAT-TM-18 USPTO Personal Identification Verification (PIV) and Security Access Control Systems." We invite the public to comment on the amended system noted in this publication.
