DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY


Privacy Act of 1974, as Amended; System of Records

AGENCY: Treasury.

ACTION: Notice of alteration to a Privacy Act System of Records.

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

SUMMARY: The Treasury Department gives notice of proposed alterations 
to the system of records entitled, ``Treasury .007-Personnel Security 
System,'' which is subject to the Privacy Act of 1974.

DATES: Comments must be received by January 29, 2007. The proposed 
altered system of records will become effective February 6, 2007 unless 
comments are received that would result in a contrary determination.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to: Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Security, Department of the Treasury, 1500 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., 
Washington, DC 20220.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrea Gaddy-Smith, Office of 
Security, 202-622-2991.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 
(HSPD-12) requires improved processes and technology for Personal 
Identity Verification (PIV) of all Federal employees and contractors 
who require long-term (6 month and over) access to federally controlled 
facilities and/or information systems. The requirements of HSPD-12 do 
not apply to short-term guests and occasional visitors to the 
Department, its bureaus, or any of its facilities.
    The purpose for improving the process for identity verification is 
to have a stronger Federal-wide standard for ``identity proofing'' and 
meet the objective of HSPD-12 that requires Federal agencies to have a 
``secure and reliable form of identification'' for federal employees or 
applicants and a contractor's employees who are applying for a Personal 
Identity Verification (PIV) Card. At the time of ``identity proofing'' 
and registration an applicant for a Treasury job, a Treasury employee 
or contractor's employee will need to produce two documents verifying 
the individual's identity, one of which must be a government-issued 
photo ID and one other identity-source document listed on Form I-9, 
such as a valid state driver's license, to receive a PIV Card.
    The alteration to the notice adds language under the following 
headings: ``Categories of individuals covered by the system,'' 
``Categories of records in the system,'' and ``Authority for 
maintenance of the system.''
    The notice for the system of records was last published in its 
entirety on August 1, 2005, at 70 FR 44187.
    The altered system of records report, as required by 5 U.S.C. 
552a(r) of the Privacy Act, has been submitted to the Committee on 
Government Reform and Oversight of the House of Representatives, the 
Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of the Senate 
and the Office of Management and Budget, pursuant to Appendix I to OMB 
Circular A-130, ``Federal Agency Responsibilities for Maintaining 
Records About Individuals,'' dated November 30, 2000.
    The proposed alterations to ``Treasury .007-- Personnel Security 
System'' are set forth below.
