SUMMARY: This notice adds a new system of records to the Commission's
systems of records under the Privacy Act of 1974, Public Law 93-579, 5

provided by visitors to the agency. The visitor provides
identification, in the form of a driver's license, passport, or
Federal/Military ID. The company affiliation of the visitor will also
be requested. This information is scanned and linked to the name and
office phone number of the CFTC employee sponsoring the visit, along
with information on the location of the visit, time of entry, purpose
of the visit, and the number of the badge issued to the visitor. The
purpose of the information collection is to enhance the security of
CFTC employees and property by verifying the identity of visitors, and
to track the location of the visitor so that, in the event of an
emergency, the agency can account for all the people in its space.
Records in the visitor system will be retained for three months and
then purged.
DATES: Comments on the establishment of the new system of records must
be received no later than May 31, 2007. The new system of records will

which would result in a contrary determination.
