  • 2025-02485 — Privacy Act Regulations; Delay of Effective Date
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 9283
    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has postponed the effective date of a new rule concerning privacy for certain records systems until April 11, 2025. This rule was originally set to take effect on February 10, 2025, and involves exempting a USDA records system from some Privacy Act provisions to avoid interfering with law enforcement. This delay allows further review and aligns with a presidential memorandum that calls for regulatory review. The action uses a legal exemption that allows the immediate delay without public comment.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is delaying a new rule about keeping certain records private, giving them more time to think about it until April 11, 2025, instead of starting it on February 10, 2025. They decided to wait because they want to make sure everything is right, and they didn't ask people what they thought about the delay because they said it wouldn't make sense to.

    Type:Notice

    Reading Time:about 5 minutes

    The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is updating a records system called the Smuggling Interdiction and Trade Compliance National Information Communication Activity System (SNICAS), which tracks their activities related to stopping illegal trade. This update, effective February 10, 2025, will exempt the system from some parts of the Privacy Act, especially those related to accessing certain records, as these may pertain to law enforcement and investigations. This document details the proposed changes to SNICAS, the rationale behind these exemptions, and confirms that no public comments were received opposing this modification.

    Simple Explanation

    The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is changing a system called SNICAS, which helps them catch illegal trading of plants and animals. They're making some data secret so it doesn't get in the way of their work, like if they were investigating something.
