Storage:

The records in this system are maintained in a variety of media, including paper, digital media (hard drives and magnetic tapes or discs), and an automated database. The records are maintained in limited access areas during duty hours and in locked offices at all other times.

Paper media are retrieved numerically by investigation number. Electronic media are retrieved numerically by investigation number, by the name or identifying number for a complainant, subject, victim, or witness; by case number; by special agent, or other personal identifier.

All paper and electronic records are protected from unauthorized access through appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards. Ex-Im Bank facilities are protected from the outside by security personnel. Direct access to investigative records is restricted to authorized staff members of the OIG. Paper records, computers, and computer storage media are located in controlled-access areas under supervision of program personnel. Manual records are in locked cabinets or in safes and can be accessed by key or combination formula only. Electronic records are protected by computer-logon identifications and password protection.

OIG is in the process of developing a records retention schedule in conjunction with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). Closed files relating to a specific investigation are destroyed after ten years. Closed files containing information of an investigative nature but not relating to a specific investigation are destroyed after five years. Records existing on computer storage media are destroyed according to applicable OIG media sanitization practice.

The System Manager is the Inspector General, Ex-Im Bank OIG, 811 Vermont Avenue NW., Rm. 976, Washington, DC 20571.

Pursuant to a concurrent notice of proposed rulemaking by Ex-Im Bank, this system of records will be generally exempt from the notice, access, and contest requirements of the Privacy Act. However, the Ex-Im Bank OIG will entertain written requests to the systems manager on a case-by-case basis for notification regarding whether this system of records contains information about an individual. Individuals seeking notification of any record contained in this system of records may submit a request in writing to the System Manager identified above. Individuals requesting notification must comply with the Ex-Im Bank Privacy Act regulations (12 CFR 404.4).

Same as "Notification Procedures"" above.

See "Notification procedures" and "Record access procedures" stated above.

The information in this system of records is obtained from sources including, but not limited to, the individual record subjects; Ex-Im Bank officials and employees; employees of Federal, State, local, and foreign agencies; and other persons and entities; and public source materials.

In general, the exemptions claimed are necessary in order to accomplish the law enforcement function of the OIG, to prevent subjects of investigations from frustrating the investigatory process, to prevent the disclosure of investigative techniques, to fulfill commitments made to protect the confidentiality of sources, to maintain access to sources of information, and to avoid endangering these sources and law enforcement personnel.

A. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) and a proposed rulemaking by Ex-Im Bank, this system is proposed to be exempt from the following provisions of the Privacy Act: 5 U.S.C. 552a (c)(3) and (4); (d)(1) through (4); (e)(1), (e)(2), (e)(3), (e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(H), (e)(5) and (e)(8); (f); and (g). The reasons for asserting such exemptions are the following:

(i) Disclosure to the individual named in the record pursuant to subsections (c)(3), (c)(4), or (d)(1) through (4) could seriously impede or compromise the investigation by alerting the target(s), subjecting a potential witness or witnesses to intimidation or improper influence, and leading to destruction of evidence. Disclosure could enable suspects to take action to prevent detection of criminal activities, conceal evidence, or escape prosecution

(ii) Application of subsection (e)(1) is impractical because the relevance of specific information might be established only after considerable analysis and as the investigation progresses. Effective law enforcement requires the OIG to keep information that may not be relevant to a specific OIG investigation, but which may provide leads for appropriate law enforcement and to establish patterns of activity that might relate to the jurisdiction of the OIG and/or other agencies

(iii) Application of subsection (e)(2) would be counterproductive to the performance of a criminal investigation because it would alert the individual to the existence of an investigation. In any investigation, it is necessary to obtain evidence from a variety of sources other than the subject of the investigation in order to verify the evidence necessary for successful litigation

(iv) Application of subsection (e)(3) could discourage the free flow of information in a criminal law enforcement inquiry

(v) Applications of subsections (e)(4)(G) and (H), and (f) would be counterproductive to the performance of a criminal investigation. To notify an individual at the individual"s request of the existence of records in an investigative file pertaining to such individual, or to grant access to an investigative file could interfere with investigative and enforcement proceedings, deprive co-defendants of a right to a fair trial or other impartial adjudication, constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy of others, disclose the identity or confidential sources, reveal confidential information supplied by these sources and disclose investigative techniques and procedures. Nevertheless, Ex-Im Bank OIG has published notice of its notification, access, and contest procedures because access may be appropriate in some cases

(vi) Although the Office of Inspector General endeavors to maintain accurate records, application of subsection (e)(5) is impractical because maintaining only those records that are accurate, relevant, timely, and complete and that assure fairness in determination is contrary to established investigative techniques. Information that may initially appear inaccurate, irrelevant, untimely, or incomplete may, when collated and analyzed with other available information, become more pertinent as an investigation progresses

(vii) Application of subsection (e)(8) could prematurely reveal an ongoing criminal investigation to the subject of the investigation

(viii) The provisions of subsection (g) do not apply to this system if an exemption otherwise applies

B. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a (k)(2) and a proposed rulemaking by Ex-Im Bank, this system is proposed to be exempt from the following provisions of the Privacy Act, subject to the limitations set forth in those subsections: 5 U.S.C. 552a (c)(3), (d)(1) through (4), (e)(1), (e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(H), and (f). These exemptions are claimed for the same reasons as stated in paragraph (a)(2) of this section, that is, because the system contains investigatory material compiled for law enforcement purposes other than material within the scope of subsection 552a(j)(2). In addition, the reasons for asserting this exemption are because the disclosure and other requirements of the Privacy Act could substantially compromise the efficacy and integrity of the OIG operations. Disclosure could invade the privacy of other individuals and disclose their identity when they were expressly promised confidentiality. Disclosure could interfere with the integrity of information which would otherwise be subject to privileges (see, e.g., 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(5)), and which could interfere with other important law enforcement concerns (see, e.g., 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(7))

C. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(5) and a proposed rulemaking by Ex-Im Bank, this system is proposed to be exempt from the following provisions of the Privacy Act: 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3), (d)(1) through (4), (e)(1), (e)(4)(G) and (H), and (f). The reason for asserting this exemption is because the system contains investigatory material compiled for the purpose of determining eligibility or qualifications for federal civilian or contract employment.

0002 EIB 2017-0002-Federal Personnel and Payroll System (FPPS)

Unclassified.

This electronic system will be used via a web interface by employees of the EXIM Bank through an electronic database managed by the DOI IBC in Denver, Colorado. FPPS customers will use a web-enabled interface, WebFPPS, to access FPPS through a web browser to perform personnel and payroll tasks. The FPPS functionality of certain applications are only accessible via the IBC or EXIM Bank intranets, and interconnections with the FPPS are outlined in the Interconnection Security Agreement and/or Memorandum of Understanding between EXIM Bank and IBC.

The system is located and managed at U.S. Department of the Interior, Interior Business Center, Human Resources and Payroll Services, 7301 W Mansfield Ave. MS D-2000 Denver, CO 80235.

The FPPS system data contains Personally Identifiable Information (PII) on current and former EXIM Bank employees, including volunteers and emergency employees, and limited information regarding employee spouses, dependents, emergency contact, or in the case of an estate, a trustee.

Name, Citizenship, Gender, Birth Date, Group Affiliation, Marital Status, Other Names Used, Truncated SSN, Legal Status, Place of Birth, Security Clearance, Spouse Information, Financial Information, Medical Information Disability Information, Education Information, Emergency Contact, Race/Ethnicity, Social Security Number (SSN), Personal Cell Telephone Number, Personal Email Address, Home Telephone Number, Employment Information, Military Status/Service Mailing/Home Address.

EXIM Bank is authorized to request this information pursuant to the following:

The Export-Import Bank Act of 1945, as amended (12 U.S.C. 635 et seq.); 5 U.S.C. 5101, et seq., 5501 et seq., 5525 et seq., and 6301 et seq.; 31 U.S.C. 3512; Executive Order 9397 as amended by Executive Order 13478, relating to Federal agency use of Social Security numbers. 31 U.S.C. 3512 et seq.; and 5 C.F.R. Part 293.

EXIM Bank proposes to add a new electronic system of records to coincide with its migration of personnel and payroll administration to the FPPS. FPPS is an online personnel and payroll system providing support to Federal agency customers through interagency agreement with the IBC. FPPS is customized to meet customer needs for creating and generating the full life cycle of personnel transactions. FPPS allows for immediate updates and edits of personnel and payroll data. FPPS also handles regulatory requirements such as specialized pay, garnishments, and special appointment programs. FPPS also operates in batch mode for performing close of business, payroll calculation, and other processes. FPPS customers can use a web-enabled interface, WebFPPS, to access FPPS through a web browser to perform personnel and payroll tasks. FPPS is a major application that consists of several minor applications to include time and attendance applications, a system for creating retirement cards and updating retirement records, a system for converting client data for integration into FPPS. The purpose of this system is to ensure proper payment of salary and benefits to EXIM personnel, and to track time worked, leave, or other absences for reporting and compliance purposes. Use of this system will streamline EXIM Bank’s personnel, payroll and other human resources functions into a unified, secure system, thereby improving employee input into these systems while enhancing data integrity and security and improving operational efficiency.

In addition to those disclosures that are generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 552a(b) of the Privacy Act, all or a portion of the records or information contained in this system may be disclosed to authorized entities determined to be relevant and necessary outside EXIM Bank as a routine use pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) as follows:

a. EXIM Bank employees will have access to their own data.

b. Data will be accessed by officials and employees of EXIM in the performance of their official duties, including, but not limited to, employees of the Division of Human Capital, Office of General Counsel, Office of the Chief Financial Officer and the Office of Inspector General.

c. EXIM Bank is sharing this data with IBC as the service provider for FPPS.

d. FPPS data is shared and reported to other Federal agencies, including the Department of the Treasury and the Office of Personnel Management, as required for human resources, payroll, and tax purposes.

e. FPPS data may be shared with other Federal agencies pursuant to applicable law.

f. FPPS data may be shared with the Department of Justice in the event information is required for litigation or law enforcement purposes and to any administrative State or Federal court in a relevant litigation matter ( subject to appropriate process).

g. To provide information to a Congressional Office from the record of an individual in response to an inquiry from that Office;

h. For investigations of potential violations of law;

i. By National Archives and Records Administration for record management inspections in its role as Archivist;

j. For data breach and mitigation response.

k. k. Disclosure to consumer reporting agencies:

Storage:

Data will be stored electronically by IBC. Data is protected by the following electronic security systems: Password, Firewall, Encryption, User ID, Intrusion Detection System, Virtual Private Network (VPN), Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) Certificates, Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Card.

FPPS authorized users, including EXIM authorized Human Capital personnel, may retrieve information on an individual using full name, SSN and Employee Common Identifier (ECI).

Certain personnel within EXIM and IBC, involved in operations and maintenance of FPPS payroll operations, can retrieve information on an individual using:

• ECI - unique number identifying employees across Federal automated systems

• SSN and full name

• Person Number - unique number which identifies a person within FPPS

• Person Number-Emergency - unique number identifying an individual within FPPS for a leave share occurrence

• Person Number-Volunteer - unique number identifying an individual within the FPPS volunteer database

• Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) - unique number identifying a trustee for the estate of a deceased employee

Additionally, reports can be produced on an individual containing many of the data elements in FPPS. FPPS also routinely generates a variety of reports related to employment that are required by law, such as Internal Revenue Service (IRS) forms (1099- MISC and W-2); reports of withholdings and contributions for benefits and union dues; and reports on individuals who are delinquent on child-support payments. Access to the reports is limited to employees who process or file the reports and individuals who are granted access on a need-to-know basis. Copies of the reports may also be provided to government entities as required by law, such as tax forms to the IRS.

Information about individuals whose data is in FPPS cannot be retrieved without knowing specific information about the employee. FPPS supports a full suite of human resources functions, including calculating payroll. The data in FPPS is necessary to perform those functions and to comply with related Federal laws and regulations. To prevent misuse, (e.g., unauthorized browsing) EXIM Bank signed a Service Level Agreement (SLA) with the IBC to clearly establish and document IBC and client security roles and responsibilities. Most of the employee data in FPPS is collected from individuals and entered into FPPS by an authorized Federal human resources professional with access to the system.

The FPPS system has undergone a formal Security Authorization and Accreditation and has been granted an authority to operate by DOI in accordance with FISMA and NIST standards. FPPS is rated as FISMA moderate based upon the type of data, and it requires strict security and privacy controls to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the sensitive PII contained in the system.

Both EXIM Bank and IBC maintain records as needed under NARA approved records schedules for the retention of reports and data. Specifically, General Records Schedule (GRS) 1, “Civilian Personnel Records” and GRS 2 “Payrolling and Pay Administration Records,” would be applicable to the FPPS system.

EXIM Bank is responsible for purging employee data according to the records schedule after an employee’s access authority is terminated or the employee retires, changes jobs, or dies. The IBC may purge or delete any customer payroll or personnel records if it is agreed upon in the Inter-Agency Agreement with the IBC.

In addition, whenever Ex-Im Bank corrects a record or receives a statement of disagreement, Ex-Im Bank shall, as is reasonable under the circumstances, advise any person or agency to which it previously disclosed such record of the correction or statement, provided that an accounting of such disclosure exists.

§ 404.19 Request for accounting of record disclosures.

(a) Required information. With respect to each system of records under Ex-Im Bank control, Ex-Im Bank shall maintain an accurate accounting of the date, nature, and purpose of each external disclosure of a record and the name and address of all persons, organizations, and agencies to which disclosure has been made. Ex-Im Bank shall retain this accounting for at least five years or the life of the record, whichever is longer.

(b) Form. An individual may obtain an accounting of all disclosures of a record, provided that such individual establishes his or her identity as the subject of such record in accordance with the procedures set forth at § 404.14(d) and (e). A request for an accounting must be made in writing and must be signed by the requester. The request should be addressed to the Freedom of Information and Privacy Office at the address in § 404.12(e) and should contain both the return address and telephone number of the requester. Both the envelope and the request itself should be clearly be marked in capital letters: "PRIVACY ACT ACCOUNTING REQUEST." Failure to properly mark or address the request may slow its processing. The request shall not be deemed to have been received by Ex-Im Bank until the Freedom of Information and Privacy Office receives the request. The letter must clearly identify the particular record for which the accounting is requested.

(c) Initial determination. The Freedom of Information and Privacy Office shall notify the requester whether the request will be granted or denied within ten working days of receipt of a valid request for an accounting. Ex-Im Bank shall not charge for processing such a request.

(d) Exceptions. Ex-Im Bank shall not be required to provide an accounting to an individual when the accounting relates to a disclosure made:

(1) To an employee within the agency;

(2) Under the FOIA; or

(3) To a law enforcement agency for an authorized law enforcement activity in response to a written request from such agency which specified the law enforcement activity for which the disclosure was sought.

§ 404.20 Notice of court-ordered and emergency disclosures.

(a) Court-ordered disclosures. When a record pertaining to an individual is required to be disclosed by a court order, the Assistant General Counsel for Administration shall make reasonable efforts to provide notice to the subject individual. Notice shall be given within a reasonable time after Ex-Im Bank’s receipt of the order, except that in a case in which the order is not a matter of public record, notice shall be given only after the order becomes public. Such notice shall be mailed to the individual’s last known address and shall contain a copy of the order and a description of the information disclosed.

(b) Emergency disclosures. If a record has been disclosed by Ex-Im Bank under compelling circumstances affecting the health or safety of any person, then, within ten working days, the Assistant General Counsel for Administration shall notify the subject individual of the disclosure at his or her last known address. The notice of such disclosure shall be in writing and shall state the:

(1) Nature of the information disclosed;

(2) Person, organization or agency to which it was disclosed;

(3) Date of disclosure; and

(4) Compelling circumstances justifying the disclosure.

§ 404.21 Submission of social security and passport numbers.

(a) Policy. Ex-Im Bank recognizes the importance of assessing, to the extent reasonably possible, the risks associated with transactions supported by Ex-Im Bank. It is often difficult to assess risks related to individuals and non-publicly trade entities. Therefore, when an individual or a non-publicly traded entity applies for participation in an Ex-Im Bank program or is proposed as a guarantor for an Ex-Im Bank transaction, Ex-Im Bank may request social security and/or U.S. passport numbers from such individual or from the principals of such entity. Ex-Im Bank shall not require submission of this information, and unwillingness or inability to provide a social security or passport number shall not affect Ex-Im Bank’s decision on an application for Ex-Im Bank assistance.

(b) Use. Ex-Im Bank shall use social security and passport numbers to assess the creditworthiness of Ex-Im Bank program participants and as a mechanism for enforcing agreements with Ex-Im Bank. Such information shall not be disclosed, except as warranted by law and regulation.

(c) Notice. Whenever Ex-Im Bank requests a social security or passport number, Ex-Im Bank shall place an appropriate Privacy Act notification on the form used to collect the information.

§ 404.22 Government contracts.

(a) Approval by Assistant General Counsel for Administration. Ex-Im Bank shall not contract for the operation of a system of records or for an activity that requires access to a system of records without the express, written approval of the Assistant General Counsel for Administration.

(b) Contract clauses. Any contract authorized under paragraph (a) of this section shall contain the standard contract clauses required by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (48 CFR 24.104) to ensure compliance with the requirements imposed by the Privacy Act. The division within Ex-Im Bank that is responsible for technical supervision of the contract shall be responsible for ensuring that the contractor complies with the Privacy Act contract requirements.

(c) Contractor status. Any contractor that operates an Ex-Im Bank system of records or engages in an activity that requires access to an Ex-Im Bank system of records shall be considered an Ex-Im Bank employee for purposes of this subpart. Ex-Im Bank shall supply any such contractor with a copy of the regulations in this subpart upon entering into a contract with Ex-Im Bank.

§ 404.23 Other rights and services.

Nothing in this subpart shall be construed to entitle any person to any service or to the disclosure of any record to which such person is not entitled under the Privacy Act.
