SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FMCSA uses SAFETYNET to share records
maintained in the Motor Carrier Information Management System (MCMIS)
with FMCSA field offices and state and local law enforcement officials.
These records contain information on companies and drivers of
commercial motor vehicles and shipping and freight-forwarding companies
registered with FMCSA. In addition, some state and or local law
enforcement entities may maintain complaint records in their local
versions of SAFETYNET, however those records are not federal records
and are outside the bounds of the Department's Privacy Act notices.
FMCSA does not maintain complaint information in SAFETYNET. MCMIS is
the authoritative system of records for these records and is covered by
the Privacy Act system of records notice DOT/FMCSA-001, Motor Carrier
Information Management System. All records in SAFETYNET are inputs to
or duplicate copies of MCMIS records subject to the DOT/FMCSA-001
system of records notice, therefore a separate notice is not required.
Records transmitted to MCMIS via SAFETYNET and the authoritative copy
received from MCMIS will continue to be updated on a daily basis. The
rescindment of this notice ensures that the Department applies the fair
information practice principles and Privacy Act protections afforded by
the MCMIS notice in a consistent manner.
SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:
DOT/FMCSA 006, SAFETYNET.
HISTORY:
71 FR 35727, June 21, 2006.
Issued in Washington, DC.

Chief Privacy Officer.
