FEDERAL HOUSING FINANCE AGENCY

[No. 2011-N-06]


Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: Federal Housing Finance Agency.

ACTION: Notice of the Establishment of New Systems of Records, Adoption 
of a Government-Wide System of Records, Removal of Existing Systems of 
Records, and notice of Government-Wide Systems of Records previously 
adopted by the Federal Housing Finance Agency.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 
1974, as amended (Privacy Act), the Federal Housing Finance Agency 
(FHFA) gives notice of the proposed establishment of seven new Privacy 
Act systems of records, the adoption of a government-wide Privacy Act 
system of records, the removal of four existing Privacy Act systems of 
records, and notice of twenty-one government-wide Privacy Act systems 
of records previously adopted by FHFA.
    The proposed new systems are: ``Mail, Contact, Telephone, and Other 
Lists'' (FHFA-7); ``Federal Home Loan Bank Directors'' (FHFA-8); 
``Administrative Grievance Records'' (FHFA-9); ``Employee Benefits 
Records'' (FHFA-10); ``Transit Subsidy Program Records'' (FHFA-11); 
``Parking Program Records'' (FHFA-12); and ``Freedom of Information Act 
and Privacy Act Records'' (FHFA-13). Two of the proposed new systems, 
(FHFA-8) and (FHFA-9), will replace systems of records issued by one of 
FHFA's predecessor agencies, the Federal Housing Finance Board (FHFB) 
titled ``FHFB-4 Federal Home Loan Bank Appointive Director 
Certification Forms'' and ``FHFB-3 Administrative Grievance Files.''
    The new adopted system of records, ``Personal Identity Verification 
Identity Management System'' (GSA/GOVT-7), will replace systems of 
records issued by FHFA's predecessor agencies FHFB and the Office of 
Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO), titled ``FHFB-8 Personal 
Identify Verification Management System'' and ``OFHEO-03 Employee 
Identification Card System.''
    Notice is given that FHFA previously adopted the following 
government-wide systems of records: EEOC/GOVT-1 Equal Employment 
Opportunity in the Federal Government Complaint and Appeals Records; 
DOL/GOVT-1 Office of Worker's Compensation Programs, Federal Employees' 
Compensation Act File; DOL/GOVT-2 Job Corps Student Records; DOT/ALL-8 
Employee Transportation Facilitation; GSA/GOVT-2 Employment Under 
Commercial Activities Contracts; EPA/GOVT-2--Federal Docket Management 
System (FDMS); GSA/GOVT-3 Travel Charge Card Program; GSA/GOVT-4 
Contracted Travel Services Program; GSA/GOVT-6 GSA SmartPay Purchase 
Charge Card Program; GSA/GOVT-8 Excluded Parties List System (EPLS); 
MSPB/GOVT--1 Appeal and Case Records; OGE/GOVT-1 Executive Branch 
Public Financial Disclosure Reports and Other Ethics Program Records; 
OGE/GOVT-2 Confidential Statements of Employment and Financial 
Interests; OPM/GOVT-1 General Personnel Records; OPM/GOVT-2 Employee 
Performance File System Records; OPM/GOVT-3 Records of Adverse Actions; 
OPM/GOVT-5 Recruiting, Examining and Placement Records; OPM/GOVT-6 
Personnel Research and Test Validation Records; OPM/GOVT-7 Applicant--
Race, Sex, National Origin and Disability Status Records; OPM/GOVT-9 
File on Position Classification Appeals, Job Grading Appeals, and 
Retained Grade or Pay Appeals, and Fair Labor Standard Act (FLSA) 
Claims and Complaints; OPM/GOVT-10 Employee Medical File System 
Records; and OSC/GOVT-1 OSC Complaint Litigation and Political Activity 
Files. Two of the proposed new systems, (FHFA-11) and (FHFA-12), will 
replace the system of records previously adopted by FHFA titled ``DOT/
ALL-8 Employee Transportation Facilitation'' as these two new systems 
more accurately reflect the systems of records that FHFA maintains.

II. Introduction

    This notice satisfies the Privacy Act requirement that an agency 
publish a system of records notice in the Federal Register when there 
is an addition to the agency's system of records. Congress has 
recognized that application of all requirements of the Privacy Act to 
certain categories of records may have an undesirable and often 
unacceptable effect upon agencies in the conduct of necessary public 
business. Consequently, Congress established general exemptions and 
specific exemptions that could be used to exempt records from 
provisions of the Privacy Act. Congress also required that exempting 
records from provisions of the Privacy Act would require the head of an 
agency to publish a determination to exempt a record from the Privacy 
Act as a rule in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act. The 
Director of FHFA has determined that records and information in these 
seven new systems of records are not exempt from the requirements of 
the Privacy Act.
    As required by the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), and pursuant to 
paragraph 4c of Appendix I to OMB Circular No. A-130, ``Federal Agency 
Responsibilities for Maintaining Records About Individuals,'' dated 
February 8, 1996 (6l FR 6427, 6435 February 20, 1996), FHFA has 
submitted a report describing the seven new systems of records covered 
by this notice, to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of 
the House of Representatives, the Committee on Homeland Security and 
Governmental Affairs of the Senate, and the Office of Management and 
Budget.

III. Proposed, Adopted and Removed Systems of Records

    The first proposed system is ``Mail, Contact, Telephone, and Other 
Lists'' (FHFA-7). The proposed system will contain records related to 
individuals, including FHFA employees, who submit to FHFA requests for 
information, subscriptions, guidance, informal advice, complaints, and 
assistance, and who register for FHFA-related activities and events, 
such as FHFA-sponsored seminars, training programs, or compliance 
meetings.
    The second proposed system is ``Federal Home Loan Bank Directors'' 
(FHFA-8). The proposed system will contain records of certifications of 
eligibility and qualifications, and information concerning the 
financial interests of current and former Federal Home Loan Bank 
(FHLBank) Member and Independent Directors, and actual and potential 
candidates for election and their immediate families that may render 
that individual ineligible to serve as either a Member or Independent 
Director of an FHLBank. The information that is collected and contained 
in this system has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget 
under OMB Control No. 2590-0006, ``Federal Home Loan Bank Directors (76 
FR 5161 January 29, 2011).'' This proposed system of records will 
replace the system of records issued by FHFA's predecessor agency FHFB. 
The replaced FHFB system, ``FHFB-4 Federal Home Loan Bank Appointive 
Director Certification Forms,'' was originally published in the Federal 
Register in 1999, see 64 FR 14919 (Mar. 29, 1999), and further amended 
in 2003, see 68 FR 39947 (Jul. 3, 2003); and in 2006, see 71 FR 61052 
(Oct. 17, 2006).
    The third proposed system is ``Administrative Grievance Records'' 
(FHFA-9). The proposed system will contain records related to 
individuals, including FHFA employees, who file administrative 
grievances with FHFA. This proposed system of records will replace the 
system of records issued by FHFA's predecessor agency FHFB. The 
replaced FHFB system, ``FHFB-3 Administrative Grievance Files,'' was

[[Page 33288]]

originally published in the Federal Register in 1995, see 60 FR 46120 
(Sept. 5, 1995), and further amended in 1999, see 64 FR 14919 (Mar. 29, 
1999); in 2003, see 68 FR 39947 (Jul. 3, 2003); and in 2006, see 71 FR 
61052 (Oct. 17, 2006).
    The fourth proposed system is ``Employee Benefits Records'' (FHFA-
10). This new system will contain records used to support the 
administration and management of FHFA's employee and other benefit 
programs.
    The fifth proposed system is ``Transit Subsidy Program Records'' 
(FHFA-11). The proposed new system will contain records related to FHFA 
employees who apply for and receive transit subsidy program benefits. 
FHFA has an agreement with the Washington Metropolitan Transit 
Authority to provide and maintain transit subsidy related services. 
This new system will replace the system of records previously adopted 
by FHFA titled ``DOT/ALL-8 Employee Transportation Facilitation.''
    The sixth proposed system is ``Parking Program Records'' (FHFA-12). 
The proposed new system will contain records related to FHFA employees 
who apply for and receive parking program benefits. FHFA has agreements 
or contracts with government and commercial entities to provide and 
maintain parking related services. This new system will also replace 
the system of records previously adopted by FHFA titled ``DOT/ALL-8 
Employee Transportation Facilitation.''
    The seventh proposed system is ``Freedom of Information Act and 
Privacy Act Records'' (FHFA-13). The proposed new system will contain 
records related to individuals who submit Freedom of Information Act 
(FOIA) and Privacy Act requests and appeals to FHFA.
    The adopted system is ``Personal Identity Verification Identity 
Management System'' (GSA/GOVT-7). See 73 FR 22377 (Apr. 25, 2008). This 
system will cover all participating FHFA employees, contractor 
personnel, consultants, and other individuals who require routine, 
long-term access to FHFA facilities, federal facilities, information 
technology systems, and networks. The system does not apply to 
occasional visitors or short-term FHFA employees, contractor personnel, 
consultants, and other individuals. This adopted system will replace 
systems of records issued by FHFA's predecessor agencies FHFB and 
OFHEO, titled ``FHFB-8 Personal Identify Verification Management 
System'' and ``OFHEO-03 Employee Identification Card System.'' The FHFB 
system ``FHFB-8'' was published in the Federal Register at 71 FR 61052 
(Oct. 17, 2006); and the OFHEO system ``OFHEO-03'' was originally 
published in the Federal Register in 1998, see 63 FR 9007 (Feb. 23, 
1998), and further amended in 2007, see 72 FR 52572 (Sept. 14, 2007); 
and in 2008, see 73 FR 36548 (Jun. 27, 2008).
