The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), through its Office of Mission Support, is creating a new system of records called the Online Library System (OLS). This system will help manage data from libraries within the EPA National Library Network. OLS will collect personally identifiable information (PII) under the Privacy Act of 1974, and it includes modules for managing library subscriptions, material dispersals, and tracking which library materials are borrowed by registered individuals. Public comments on the system can be submitted until March 25, 2021.
Simple Explanation
The EPA is starting a new computer system to keep track of its library books and who borrows them, but they must be careful with people's personal information, and they're asking people to share their thoughts about it before March 25, 2021.
