FARM CREDIT ADMINISTRATION


Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: Farm Credit Administration.

ACTION: Advance notice with request for comments; publication of 
systems of records; publication of proposed system notice for new 
systems of records.

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

SUMMARY: Under the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5 U.S.C. 552a), the 
Farm Credit Administration (FCA) is:
     Amending its Privacy Act systems of records;
     Establishing new systems of records;
     Deleting some existing systems of records; and
     Publishing a complete notice of its inventory of systems 
of records.

The new and amended systems of records will help us collect, maintain, 
use, and disclose information about individuals.
    We filed a New Systems Report with Congress and the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) on May 14, 1999.

DATES: You should forward written comments by June 24, 1999. We will 
adopt this notice without further publication on July 24, 1999, unless 
we change it to incorporate public comments and publish another notice.

ADDRESSES: You may mail written comments (in triplicate) to Debra 
Buccolo, Privacy Act Officer, Farm Credit Administration, 1501 Farm 
Credit Drive, McLean, Virginia 22102-5090. Copies of all comments we 
receive will be available for review by interested parties at FCA 
headquarters.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Debra Buccolo, Privacy Act Officer, Farm Credit Administration, 1501 
Farm Credit Drive, McLean, Virginia 22102-5090, (703) 883-4022, TDD

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We have reviewed all FCA systems of records 
and have identified eight new systems and nine existing systems 
requiring substantive modification. We have deleted six systems.
    We have revised each system description. We have changed the 
designated points of contact for inquiring about the systems, accessing 
the records, and requesting amendments to the records. We also have 
changed the categories of records maintained and

[[Page 28176]]

storage methods. We have clarified the wording of several of the 
routine uses and added new uses compatible with the purpose for which 
the information is collected. We have reviewed and amended, as 
appropriate, all retention periods. Finally, we have made minor 
administrative and editorial changes.
    We are deleting six systems (FCA-3, Upward Mobility Skills Survey; 
FCA-4, Group Accident Insurance Records; FCA-5, Employee Reports of 
Financial Interests and Employment; FCA-6, Farm Credit Bank Personnel 
Records; FCA-16, Federal Land Bank Loans; and FCA-17, Production Credit 
Association Loans) because we no longer maintain the records or the 
records are now covered by a Government-wide system notice. (By way of 
background information, we deleted FCA-1 and FCA-2 on December 27, 
1993.) We have modified and assigned new system numbers, as indicated 
below.
    FCA-7, Employee Attendance, Leave, and Payroll Records, has been 
revised to reflect the use of machine-readable records, as well as 
paper records and some computer-output microfiche. The new system 
number is FCA-1, Employee Attendance, Leave, and Payroll Records.
    FCA-8, Employee Travel and Vendor Voucher Files, FCA-9, Financial 
Management Records, and FCA-11, Procurement Records, have been combined 
into one system of records. Also, the systems notice has been revised 
to reflect the use of machine-readable records, as well as paper 
records. The resulting new system of records is FCA-2, Financial 
Management Records.
    FCA-10, Property Accountability Records, is now maintained both on 
paper and on a computerized database. The new system number is FCA-3, 
Property Accountability Records.
    FCA-12, Biographical Files, has been amended to reflect the 1985 
restructuring of FCA, which eliminated the Federal Farm Credit Board 
and created the FCA Board. FCA no longer maintains Farm Credit System 
director biographies. The new system number is FCA-4, Biographical 
Files.
    FCA-13, Public Information Requests File, and FCA-15, Congressional 
Correspondence File, have been combined into one system of records. The 
new system tracks employee assignments. The resulting new system is 
FCA-5, Assignments and Correspondence Tracking System.
    FCA-14, Freedom of Information Requests, has been revised to 
reflect the computerized database for the files and that we file 
Privacy Act requests in this system. The new system number is FCA-6, 
Freedom of Information and Privacy Act Requests.
    FCA-18, Inspector General Investigative Files, is unchanged. The 
new system number is FCA-7.
    FCA-19, FCA Internet Access System, is unchanged. The new system 
number is FCA-8.
    Finally, we have created the following eight new systems: FCA-9, 
Personnel Security Files; FCA-10, Farm Credit System Institution 
Criminal Referrals; FCA-11, Litigation and Administrative Adjudication 
Files; FCA-12, Health and Life Insurance Records; FCA-13, 
Correspondence Files; FCA-14, Employee Travel Records; FCA-15, Employee 
Training; and FCA-16, Examiner Training and Education Records.
    Having made these changes, FCA's systems categories now are: FCA-1, 
Employee Attendance, Leave, and Payroll Records; FCA-2, Financial 
Management Records; FCA-3, Property Accountability Records; FCA-4, 
Biographical Files; FCA-5, Assignments and Correspondence Tracking 
System; FCA-6, Freedom of Information and Privacy Act Requests; FCA-7, 
Inspector General Investigative Files; FCA-8, FCA Internet Access 
System; FCA-9, Personnel Security Files; FCA-10, Farm Credit System 
Institution Criminal Referrals; FCA-11, Litigation and Administrative 
Litigation Files; FCA-12, Health and Life Insurance Records; FCA-13, 
Correspondence Files; FCA-14, Employee Travel Records; FCA-15, Employee 
Training; and FCA-16, Examiner Training and Education Records.
    As required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) of the Privacy Act, we have 
notified OMB, the Committee on Government Reform of the House of 
Representatives, and the Committee on Governmental Affairs of the 
Senate of the amended and proposed systems of records. The notices are 
published in their entirety below.
