SYSTEM NAME:
    Travel Charge Card Program.

SYSTEM LOCATION:
    This system of records is located in the finance office of the 
local installation of the Federal agency for which an individual has 
traveled. Records necessary for a contractor to perform under a 
contract are located at the contractor's facility.

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM:
    Individuals covered by the system are current Federal employees who 
have their own government assigned charge card and all other Federal 
employees and authorized individuals who use a Federal account number 
for travel purposes.

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
    Records include name, address, Social Security Number, date of 
birth, employment information, telephone numbers, information needed 
for identification verification, travel authorizations and vouchers, 
charge card applications, charge card receipts, terms and conditions 
for use of charge cards, and monthly reports from contractor(s) showing 
charges to individual account numbers, balances, and other types of 
account analyses.

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:
    5 U.S.C. 5707 and as implemented by the Federal Travel Regulation, 
41 CFR 300-304; E.O. 9397; E.O. 11609; Public Law 107-56 Sec. 326; 
Public Law 109-115 Sec. 846.

PURPOSE:
    To assemble in one system information to provide government 
agencies with: (1) Necessary information on the commercial travel and 
transportation payment and expense control system, which provides 
travelers charge cards and the agency an account number for official 
travel and related

travel expenses on a worldwide basis; (2) attendant operational and 
control support; and (3) management information reports for expense 
control purposes.

TSA assumes the function of conducting pre-flight comparisons of 
airline passenger information to Federal Government watch lists. In 
order to supply the appropriate information, these mentioned parties 
are responsible for obtaining new data fields consisting of personal 
information for date of birth, gender, known traveler number and 
redress number. At this time, the redress number and known traveler 
number are optional but may be required to be stored in another phase 
of the Secure Flight program.
    b. To disclose information to a Federal, State, local, or foreign 
agency responsible for investigating, prosecuting, enforcing, 
implementing, or carrying out a statute, rule, regulation, or order, 
where an agency becomes aware of a violation or potential violation of 
civil or criminal law or regulation.

Agency suspects or has confirmed that the security or confidentiality 
of information in the system of records has been compromised; (2) the 
Agency 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 GSA 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 GSA's efforts to 
respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, 
or remedy such harm.
