SUMMARY:  In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5 U.S.C. 552a), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is issuing public notice of its intent to modify an existing Privacy Act system of records notice, USGS–24, ‘‘Employee Work Report Edit and Individual Employee Production Rates.’’  The revisions will update addresses of the System Location and the System Manager.  In addition, it adds, deletes, and revises language under several sections of the notice. 
 
EFFECTIVE DATE:  5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(11) requires that the public be provided a 30-day period in which to comment on the intended use of the information in the system of records.  The Office of Management and Budget, in its Circular A–130, requires an additional 10-day period (for a total of 40 days) in which to make these comments.  Any persons interested in commenting on this revised system of records may do so by submitting comments in writing to the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey, USGS Privacy Act Officer, National Center, MS–807, 12202 Sunrise Valley, Drive, Reston, VA 20192. Comments received within two days of publication in the Federal Register (December 21, 1998), will be considered.  The system will be effective as proposed at the end of the comment period, unless comments are received which would require a contrary determination. 
 
ADDRESSES:  Send written comments to U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey, USGS Privacy Act Officer, National Center, MS–807, Reston, Virginia, 20192. Hand deliver comments to the same address. 
 
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  Chief, Programs and Partnership Branch, Mapping Applications Center, National Mapping Division, U.S. Geological Survey, National Center, MS–558, Reston, Virginia 20192. 
 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  The USGS is proposing to amend the system notice for USGS–24, ‘‘Employee Work Report Edit and Individual Employee Production Rates,’’ to more accurately and clearly describe the addresses of the System Location and the System Manager; to change the word Production to All in Categories of Individual in the System; to delete several words in Categories of Records in the System; to redefine the Storage media; and to more clearly define the procedures under Notification, Record Access, and Contesting Record Procedures.
