		  <xhtmlContent><p><b>Notice of Systems of Records Preliminary Statement</b></p>


<p>The term "Agency" when used in this notice refers to the Peace Corps.

</p><p>Operating Units--The names of the operating units within the Agency to which a particular system of
records pertains are listed under the system manager and address section of each system notice.

</p><p>Official Personnel Files--Official personnel files of Federal employees in the General Schedule in the
custody of the Agency are considered the property of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Access to such
files shall be in accordance with such notices as are published by OPM. Access to such files in the custody
of
the Agency will be granted to individuals to whom such files pertain upon request to the Director, Office of
Personnel Management, Peace Corps, 806 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20526.

</p><p>Files of employees serving under Peace Corps appointing authorities, i.e., Foreign Service and
Expert/consultant, which are not specifically covered by the OPM publication, are inter-filed with all other
personnel files and treated in the same manner. The OPM publication of notice for official personnel files is
therefore adopted by reference for Peace Corps personnel files in the custody of the Agency provided however
that
access, contests and appeals as to any such record shall be processed as provided in Peace Corps regulations
under the Privacy Act.

</p><p>Various offices in the Agency maintain files which contain miscellaneous copies of personnel material
affecting Peace Corps employees. This would include copies of standard personnel forms, evaluation forms,
etc.
These files are kept only for immediate office reference use and are considered by the Agency to be part of
the
personnel file system. The Agency's internal regulations provide that such information is a part of the
general
personnel files and can only be disclosed through the Director, Peace Corps Office of Personnel Management in
order that he or she may insure that any material to be disclosed is relevant, materials, current, and fair
to
the individual employee. It is also the policy of the Agency to limit the use of such files and to encourage
the
destruction of as many as possible.

</p><p><b>Statement of General Routine Uses</b></p>
<p>The following general routine uses are incorporated by this reference into each system of records set
forth herein, unless such incorporation is specifically limited in the system description.</p>

<p>A. <i>Disclosure for Law Enforcement Purposes.</i> Information may be disclosed to the appropriate
Federal, State, local, or foreign agency responsible for investigating, prosecuting, enforcing, or
implementing a
statute, rule, regulation, or order, if the information indicates a violation or potential violation of civil
or
criminal law or regulation within the jurisdiction of the receiving entity.
</p><p>B. <i>Disclosure Incident to Requesting Information.</i> Information may be disclosed to any source
from which additional information is requested (to the extent necessary to identify the individual, inform
the
source of the purpose(s) of the request, or to identify the type of information requested); when necessary to
obtain information relevant to a Peace Corps decision concerning retention of an employee or other personnel
action (other than hiring), retention of a security clearance, the letting of a contract, or the issuance or
retention of a grant or other benefit. </p>
<p>C.  <i>Disclosure to Requesting Agency. </i> Information may be disclosed to a Federal, State, local, or
other
public authority of the fact that this system of records contains information relevant to the requesting
agency's
retention of an employee, the retention of a security clearance, the letting of a contract, or the issuance
or
retention of a license, grant, or other benefit. The other agency or licensing organization may then make a
request supported by the written consent of the individual for part or all of the record if it so chooses. No
disclosure will be made unless the information has been determined to be sufficiently reliable to support a
referral to another office within the agency or to another Federal agency for criminal, civil,
administrative,
personnel, or regulatory action.
</p><p>D.  <i>Disclosure to Office of Management and Budget. </i> Information may be disclosed to the Office
of

private relief legislation as set forth in OMB Circular No. A-19.  </p>
<p>E. <i>Disclosure to Congressional Offices. </i> Information may be disclosed to a congressional office
from
the record of an individual in response to an inquiry from the congressional office made at the request of
the
individual.</p>
<p>F.  <i>Disclosure to Department of Justice. </i> Information may be disclosed for purposes of
litigation,
provided that in each case the disclosure is compatible with the purpose for which the records were
collected.
Disclosure for these purposes may be made to the Department of Justice, or in a proceeding before a court,
adjudicative body, or other administrative body before which the Peace Corps is authorized to appear. This
disclosure may be made when: 1. The Peace Corps, or any component thereof; 2. Any employee of the Peace Corps
in
his or her official capacity; 3. Any employee of the Peace Corps in his or her individual capacity where the
Department of Justice or the Peace Corps has agreed to represent the employee; or 4. The United States (when
the
Peace Corps determines that litigation is likely to affect the Peace Corps or any of its components) is a
party
to litigation or has an interest in such litigation, and the use of such records by the Department of Justice
or
the Peace Corps is deemed by the Peace Corps to be relevant and necessary to the litigation.
</p><p>G. <i>Disclosure to the National Archives. </i> Information may be disclosed to the National Archives
and
Records Administration in records management inspections.  </p>
<p>H.  <i>Disclosure to Contractors, Grantees, and Others. </i> Information may be disclosed to contractors,
grantees, consultants, or Volunteers performing or working on a contract, service, grant, cooperative
agreement,
job, or other activity for the Peace Corps and who have a need to have access to the information in the
performance of their duties or activities for the Peace Corps. When appropriate, recipients will be required
to
comply with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974 as provided in 5 U.S.C. 552a(m).  </p>
<p>I. <i>Disclosures for Administrative Claims, Complaints, and Appeals. </i> Information may be disclosed to
an
authorized appeal grievance examiner, formal complaints examiner, equal employment opportunity investigator,
arbitrator, or other person properly engaged in investigation or settlement of an administrative grievance,
complaint, claim, or appeal filed by an employee, but only to the extent that the information is relevant and
necessary to the proceeding. Agencies that may obtain information under this routine use include, but are not
limited to, the Office of Personnel Management, Office of Special Counsel, Merit Systems Protection Board,
Federal Labor Relations Authority, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and Office of Government Ethics.
</p>
<p>J. <i>Disclosure to the Office of Personnel Management. </i> Information may be disclosed to the Office of
Personnel Management pursuant to that agency's responsibility for evaluation and oversight of Federal
personnel
management. </p>
<p>K. <i>Disclosure in Connection with Litigation. </i> Information may be disclosed in connection with
litigation or settlement discussions regarding claims by or against the Peace Corps, including public filing
with
a court, to the extent that disclosure of the information is relevant and necessary to the litigation or
discussions and except where court orders are otherwise required under Section (b)(11) of the Privacy Act of
1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(11).  </p>
<p>L. <i>Disclosure to U.S. Ambassadors. </i> Information from this system of records may be disclosed to a
U.S.
Ambassador or his or her designee in a country where the Peace Corps serves when the information is needed to
perform an official responsibility, to allow the Ambassador to knowledgeably respond to official inquiries
and
deal with in-country situations that are within the scope of the Ambassador's responsibility. </p>

<p>M. To all appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when (1) The Peace Corps suspects or has confirmed
that
the security or confidentiality of information in the system of records has been compromised; (2) the Peace
Corps
has determined that as a result of the suspected or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to economic
or
property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the security or integrity of this system or other
systems
or programs (whether maintained by the Peace Corps or another agency or entity) that rely upon the
compromised
information; and (3) the disclosure made to such agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to
assist in connection with the Peace Corps' efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and
prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm.

<subsection type="systemLocation"><xhtmlContent><p>This system is made up of subsystems which are located
agencywide in Peace Corps offices. These locations are (a) Headquarters, (b) three Service Center offices and
area and sub-area Recruitment offices, and (c) each Peace Corps overseas program office. The number of Peace
Corps overseas offices fluctuates as programs are added or withdrawn. Specific addresses will be provided
upon
request to the Director of Administrative Services. Any particular country in which Peace Corps maintains a
program may be addressed by writing to the Country Director, Peace Corps, c/o The American Embassy in the
country.

</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="categoriesOfIndividuals"><xhtmlContent><p>Current and former Peace Corps volunteers,
trainees
and applicants for volunteer service including Peace Corps United Nations Volunteers. A record may exist in a
subsystem depending on whether a record was established as part of the application, selection, placement, and
service process.

</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="categoriesOfRecords"><xhtmlContent><p>This major system covers a number of temporary and
permanent records established during the applicant, selection, placement, training and service stages. Most
information maintained in this system is furnished by the individual. Generally, the individual is aware of
any
necessary investigations being conducted and is either counseled or authorizes such investigations. As the
record
progresses through the subsystems, generally, the following folders may be established: PCV Applicant File;
Medical File; and Trainee/Volunteer Service File. If certain situations warrant, a Special Services file may
be
established. These records are explained in detail in the following paragraphs. At the processing and program
support desk levels temporary day to day sets of records may be used or set up to meet the needs of work
processes. This information is usually extracted from the official record or is a duplicate of information
contained in the official record and is utilized only as long as needed for a particular decision, project or
period of service. Upon completion of the use of such records they are destroyed or, in the case of a
permanent
document or record, are forwarded to the Peace Corps Records Center for retirement.

</p><p>(1) Volunteer Applicant Folder and Computer Based Record: This record contains forms related to the
applicant process such as the application, references, overseas suitability assessments, invitation to
training,
trainee enrollment forms correspondence relating to the application, copies of other application documents,
such
as a Peace Corp background investigation form, evaluator-recruiter interview forms. Information is extracted
from
the official record hard copy to create a computer record which is used to track progress, issue labels for
correspondence to the applicant and account for the establishment, retirement and ultimate destruction of the
individual record. Statistical information, without personal identifiers, is used from the computer record.

</p><p>(2) Trainee and Volunteer Service Pay Folder and Computer based record: This record contains
correspondence, forms related to pay allowances, travel and service such as, the Oath, designation of
beneficiary, address, social security number, duty station, next of kin, trainee registration form, service
and
termination documents. Information is coded from hard copy documents to create a computer record for pay and
verification of service purposes.

</p><p>(3) Medical Folder: The medical record contains medical examination forms and fitness for duty
reports,
medical claims, correspondence and cables, medical histories, payment records, record of the consulting
physician, treatment, hospitalization and disposition of the case, and history of psychiatric or
psychological
treatment.

</p><p>(4) Special Services Folder: This record contains information pertaining to any unusual or
extraordinary
action or circumstances happening during service or causing the termination of the volunteer or trainee.
These
records contain details of reenrollments, reinstatements, death or termination. Details include name, country
of
assignment, program number, dates of the action, and supportive documentation. Supportive documentation would
include termination reports, staff recommendations, cables, financial information, travel arrangements and
medical clearance. Death cases may also include an autopsy report, documentation of account of the death,
designation of beneficiary, policy report, death certificate, correspondence related to final arrangements,
money
payments and other financial matters.

</p><p>(5) Overseas Post Service and Medical Records: Contain correspondence and forms relating to in country
service such as records of all payments or accrued credit to volunteers and trainees, advances or other items
due
to the government from volunteers or trainees, monthly living allowances, leave allowances, settling in
allowances, property assignments. The medical record is maintained at post by the Peace Corps Health
Official. It
contains the entrance physical and dental examination records and record of treatment received while in Peace
Corps.

</p><p>(6) United Nations Volunteer Records: These records contain applications, correspondence related to
the
applicant/placement process, other records connected with the application, training and placement of persons
wishing to serve or serving as United Nations Volunteers. For short periods of time references furnished by
the
applicant in support of the UNV application are kept in the UNV folder until the PC Applicant folder is
received
from the Office of Placement by Multilateral Programs. Then the UNV references, along with the UNV
application,
are forwarded to Geneva/UNV. Medical history forms for UNV applicants are forwarded by the examining facility
to
Peace Corps Office of Medical Services, who, after medical clearance by Peace Corps, forward them to the
Medical
Office, Geneva/UNV At the end of service or inactivation of the record the UNV record is forwarded to the
Peace
Corps Record Center for combining and retirement as regular Peace Corps volunteer records.

<p>Storage:</p><p>The records are stored by electronic means and hard copy. Records are maintained on data
storage devices,
lists, forms and hard copy record files. Electronic records are maintained within Peace Corps on proprietary
systems or within an automated application system on data storage devices. Information contained in the
automated
system is housed offsite in a secure location as government owned and retrievable information.

</p><p>Retrieval:

</p><p>The records may be retrieved by the names of the individuals on whom they are maintained or by vacancy
announcement number. In the Personnel Office, the records are recorded by name and vacancy announcement
number.
They can also be retrieved, by any common identifier in the automated application. These may be by individual
name, social security number, vacancy announcement, demographic fields, veteran's status, current grade,
grade
applied for, or any other data fields completed by the applicant. Records are generally retrieved by the name
with the social security number or date of birth as a secondary identifier when necessary.

</p><p>Accessibility/Safeguards:

</p><p>All Peace Corps employees have undergone background investigations. Access to the Agency is controlled
by
security guards and admission is limited to those individuals possessing a valid identification card or
individuals under proper escort. The Human Resource Management (HRM) office is in a secondary secured area
where
even Peace Corps employees not within the HRM organization are required to have escorts. All records
containing
personal information are maintained in secured file cabinets or in restricted areas, access to which is
limited
to authorized personnel. Access to computerized files is password-protected and under the direct supervision
of
the system manager. The system manager and contractor have the capability of printing audit trails of access
through the computer media, thereby permitting regular and ad hoc monitoring of system usage. Automated media
is
access limited to authorized personnel whose duties require access. Access to and use of these records are
limited to those persons whose official duties require such access. Systems administered by contractors are
secured by password and through a permissions based system. Permission is granted by a system administrator.
Remote data storage facilities are secured through physical and system-based safeguards. Electronic files are
password protected and accessible only by authorized personnel. Data maintained electronically at Peace Corps
is
on network servers and located in a locked room with physical access limited to authorized personnel.

</p></xhtmlContent></subsection>
<subsection type="retentionAndDisposal"><xhtmlContent><p>Applications from individuals who are selected for
positions with the Peace Corps are placed on the permanent side of the employee's Official Personnel Folder.
Paper applications rejected in the initial review because they do not meet requirements for Agency employment
and
applications which appear to meet requirements for Agency employment, but which are subsequently rejected,
are
retained for two years and then destroyed. Electronic media files are maintained indefinitely. These files
remain
available for the Agency when searching for qualified applicants for the variety of positions available
agency-
wide. Paper files on applicants may also be retained indefinitely. In divisional or regional offices, the
paper
records may be retained for an indefinite period of time. They are then forwarded to HRM or discarded.
Applicant

they
will be retired or destroyed in accordance with published records schedules of the Peace Corps or as approved
by
the National Archives and Records Administration. Most records are retained for a period of 2 years. Some
records
are destroyed by shredding or burning while magnetic tapes or disks are erased.

tracking crimes against Volunteers; analyzing trends; and responding to requests from executive, legislative,
and
oversight bodies, as well as the public, for statistical crime data relating to criminal and other high-
interest
incidents. The Peace Corps will use this information for programmatic and training purposes in order to make
informed decisions about potential changes in policy and/or programs. The system notifies in a timely manner
Peace Corps headquarters and overseas staff who have a need to know when a crime has occurred against a
Volunteer. Such staff make safety and security, medical, or management decisions regarding the Volunteer
victim.
The system also notifies the U.S. Embassy's Regional Security Officers covering the post whenever a crime
against
a Volunteer occurs so that they may initiate investigative procedures, as necessary.

<subsection type="safeguards"><xhtmlContent><p>Names and social security numbers have been redacted from
paper
records that were collected until 2006. After 2006, social security numbers were no longer collected on the
Volunteer. The crime incident database does not collect or store previously collected social security
numbers.
Accounts are created for Peace Corps staff for whom a business need exists, i.e., select staff in Director's
office, Safety and Security, Regions, and Volunteer Support. Regional Security Officers and Assistant
Regional
Security Officers at the U.S. Embassy at post also receive CIRS accounts. Embassy officials must complete a
Technology Access Agreement form to receive an account. All CIRS accounts require a user name and password.
Access to Volunteer names and addresses in the reports is restricted to only those CIRS users who have a need
to
know. These include reporting post staff, Office of Volunteer Support staff who are responsible for medical
support, and Regional Security Officers with the U.S. Embassy.

</p><p>Information is encrypted using 128-bit SSL and AES encryptions standards. The system platform went
through
