EPA Office of Acquisition Solutions: Privacy Act System of Records Modification (2026)

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Office of Acquisition Solutions has announced a proposed modification to an existing Privacy Act system of records. The primary change involves adding a new routine use to the system, as mandated by Executive Order 14249 and OMB Memorandum M-25-32, both of which direct federal agencies to update their privacy record systems accordingly. The modification also includes updated contact information for the Agency Privacy Officer, ensuring the public and affected individuals have accurate details for privacy-related inquiries and requests. This is an administrative update rather than a substantive policy change. The Privacy Act of 1974 requires federal agencies to publish notices in the Federal Register when creating or modifying systems of records that contain personally identifiable information (PII). This notice fulfills that statutory obligation and provides the public with an opportunity to comment before the changes take effect.
