## Abstract

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking direct final action to revise the Agency's Privacy Act regulations to exempt a new system of records, EPA-79, the NEIC Master Tracking System, from certain requirements of the Privacy Act because records in EPA's National Enforcement Investigation Center (NEIC) Master Tracking System are maintained for use in civil and criminal actions.
