SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
Pursuant to the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a), the USDA FS is proposing to add a new system of records entitled USDA/ FS57 Incident Suite (ISuite) Database Application. This new system will support incident business operations conducted by Incident Management Teams (IMT). The interagency IMTs operate among the Wildland Fire agencies, including the USDA FS; Department of Interior's Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Indian Affairs, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and National Park Service; and the National Association of State Foresters.
The USDA FS is the administrative agency for this system, and it will be used by other Wildland Fire agencies. While the Privacy Act requires agencies to consider only comments regarding routine uses, USDA invites comment on all portions of this notice.
Those who submit comments should be aware that all comments, including names and addresses, when provided, are placed in the record and are available for public inspection. Individuals wishing to inspect comments should call the FS Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act Office at (202) 2051542 to make arrangements.
A ``Report on the New System,'' required by 5 U.S.C. 552a (r) as implemented by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A 130, was sent to the Chairman, Committee on Governmental Affairs, U.S. Senate; the Chairman, Committee on Government Reform and Oversight, U.S. House of Representatives; and the Administrator, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget.
Dated: October 19, 2009.

Secretary.
