DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Financial Management Service


Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: Financial Management Service, Treasury.

ACTION: Notice of alteration of Privacy Act system of records.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of the Treasury, Financial Management Service 
(FMS), gives notice of a proposed alteration to the system of records 
entitled ``Debt Collection Operations System--Treasury/FMS .014,'' 
which is subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5 U.S.C. 
552a). The system notice was last published in its entirety in the 
Federal Register Vol. 60, page 56776, November 9, 1995.

DATES: Comments must be received no later than April 22, 1996. The 
proposed system of records will be effective May 1, 1996, unless FMS 
receives comments which would result in a contrary determination.
ADDRESS: Comments must be submitted to the Debt Management Services, 
Financial Management Service, 401 14th Street, SW, Room 151, 
Washington, DC 20227. Comments received will be available for 
inspection at the same address between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 
p.m. Monday through Friday.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gerry Isenberg, Debt Management 
Services, (202) 874-6859.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FMS has been designated by the Office of 
Management and Budget as the lead agency in credit management and debt 
collection for the Federal Government. The original publication of this 
system of records concerned the collection of debts owed to the Federal 
Government where collection efforts were to be undertaken by FMS in 
accordance with agreements with Federal agencies which are initially 
responsible for collecting the debts. FMS is altering this system of 
records to clarify that records in the system include records involving 
the collection of delinquent Federal debts arising from FMS' own 
operations, where initial responsibility for collection rests with FMS.
     For the reasons set forth in the preamble, FMS proposes to alter 
system of records Treasury/FMS .014, ``Debt Collection Operations 
System--Treasury/Financial Management Service'', as follows:

Treasury/FMS .014
System name:
    Debt Collection Operations System--Treasury/Financial Management 
Service.
    *      *      *      *      *
Purpose(s):
    Description of change: The first sentence is revised to read:``The 
purpose of this system is to maintain records of individuals and 
entities that are (1) indebted to the Financial Management Service 
(FMS), and (2) indebted to the various Federal Government departments 
and agencies and whose accounts are being serviced or collected by FMS, 
in accordance with written agreements reached between the relevant 
agency (``client'') and FMS.''
     *      *      *      *      *


    Dated: March 13, 1996.
Alex Rodriguez,
Deputy Assistant Secretary (Administration).
