Small Business Administration New Privacy Act Systems of Records; 
Narrative StatementPrivacy Act System of Records SBA 35; Non-Employment 
Related Background Checks

A. Narrative Statement

    1. The Small Business Administration (SBA) is adding a new system 
of records to the Agency's Privacy Act Systems of Records. The new 
system is entitled ``Non-Employment Related Background Checks.'' The 
systems consists of records that maintain information about applicants 
for SBA loans or other assistance or recognition, including application 
forms, such as SBA Form 912 and related fingerprint cards, criminal 
history and other records checks and correspondence concerning 
background. The system is maintained by SBA's Office of the Inspector 
General in both electronic and paper formats.
    2. Refer to the following citations: 5 U.S.C. App. 3 (The Inspector 
General Act of 1978, as amended); 15 U.S.C. Chapters 14A and 14B, and 
44 U.S.C. 3101.
    3. The effect on the individual will be minimal. The information 
contained in the System will be viewed only by Agency personnel, 
contractors, experts, consultants or volunteers in the line of their 
official duties. These individuals must comply with the requirements of 
the PA of 1974, as amended, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(m). Any potential 
disclosures outside of the Agency will be in compliance with the 
routine uses of the System and will only be to individuals with a need 
to know.
    4. Access and use of the records will be limited to specified 
individuals with official need to know. Records will be stored in 
locked file cabinets and all computers containing these records are 
protected by password and user identification codes. In addition, 
records in this system of records are exempt from the application of 
all provisions of section 552a except sections (b), (c)(1) and (2), 
(e)(4)(A) through (F), (e)(6), (7), (9), (10), (11), and (i).
    5. The new proposed category of records use satisfies the 
compatibility requirement of subsection (a)(4) of the Act as the FOI/PA 
Tracking System is a ``collection, or grouping of information about an 
individual that is maintained by an agency'' and ``contains his name, 
or the identifying number, symbol, or other identifying particular 
assigned to the individual.''
    6. This is an internal information collection. The Agency deems the 
OMB approved information collection requirements unnecessary.

Narrative StatementPrivacy Act System of Records SBA 36; Suspension and 
Debarment Files

B. Narrative Statement

    1. The Small Business Administration (SBA) is adding a new system 
of records to the Agency's Privacy Act Systems of Records. The new 
system is entitled ``Suspension and Debarment Files.'' The systems 
consists of records that maintain information Records consist of 
materials compiled from investigations and/or audits which identify 
violations which may be cause for suspension or debarment pursuant to 
the Federal Acquisition Regulations or the government-wide non-
procurement suspension and debarment regulations. These materials 
include indictments, information, plea agreements, judgments, loan 
agreements, contract documents, etc., that pertain to an individual's 
or entity's participation in government contracts, SBA loan programs, 
and other SBA assistance.
    2. Refer to the following citations: 5 U.S.C. App. 3 (the Inspector 
General Act of 1978, as amended); 15 U.S.C. Chapters 14A and 14B; and 
44 U.S.C. 3101; 48 CFR Subpart 9.4 (procurement); 2 CFR Parts 180 and 
2700 (non-procurement), and Executive Orders 12549 and 12682.
    3. The effect on the individual will be minimal. The information 
contained in the System will be viewed only by Agency personnel, 
contractors, experts, consultants or volunteers in the line of their 
official duties. These individuals must comply with the requirements of 
the PA of 1974, as amended, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(m). Any potential 
disclosures outside of the Agency will be in compliance with the 
routine uses of the System and will only be to individuals with a need 
to know. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2), this system of records is 
exempt from the application of all provisions of section 552a except 
sections (b), (c)(1) and (2), (e)(4)(A) through (F), (e)(6), (7), (9), 
(10), (11), and (i), and pursuant to 5 U.S.C. Sec.  552(a)(k)(2) and 
(k)(5).
    4. Access and use of the records will be limited to specified 
individuals with official need to know. Records will be stored in 
locked file cabinets and all computers containing these records are 
protected by password and user identification codes.

    5. The new proposed category of records use satisfies the 
compatibility requirement of subsection (a)(4) of the Act as the FOI/PA 
Tracking System is a ``collection, or grouping of information about an 
individual that is maintained by an agency'' and ``contains his name, 
or the identifying number, symbol, or other identifying particular 
assigned to the individual.''
    6. This is an internal information collection. The Agency deems the 
OMB approved information collection requirements unnecessary.

System requires a PIV card to log on and to digitally sign 
transactions. The computer servers storing the records are located in

The computer servers are password-protected. Access to individuals 
working at guard stations is password-protected; each person granted 
access to the system at guard stations must be individually authorized 
to use the system. A Privacy Act Warning Notice appears on the monitor 
screen when PIV records are first displayed. Data exchanged between the 
servers and the client PCs at the guard stations and badging office are 
encrypted. Backup tapes are stored in a

[[Page 14926]]

locked and controlled room in a secure, off-site location. An audit 
trail is maintained and reviewed periodically to identify unauthorized 
access. Persons given roles in the PIV process must complete training 
specific to their roles to ensure their knowledge about how to protect 
individually identifiable information. The system uses the high risk 
confidentiality and integrity security controls specified in the 
National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication 800-

facilities, records are maintained for two years and then destroyed by 
wiping hard drives and shredding paper. All other records relating to 
employees are destroyed two years after ID security card expiration 
date. In accordance with FIPS 201-1, PIV Cards are deactivated within
