    Updated Systems--This following notices supersede the previously 
published notices. The 3 systems modified by this republication and 
their new coding structure are listed as follows:

1. HSNG.SF/HWAA.01 Single Family Acquired Asset Management System 
(Previously SAMS A80s, published June 20, 2006)
2. HSNG.SF/HWAA.02 Single Family Insurance System CLAIMS Subsystem 
(HUD/SFH-02, Published November 20, 2007)
3. HSNG.SF/HUF.01 Asset Disposition and Management System (Previously 
HUD/HS-58, Published October 21, 2008)

    These systems are those maintained by HUD that included or includes 
personally identifiable information provided by individuals from which 
information was or is retrieved by a name of unique identifier. The 
system revisions encompass programs and services of the Department's 
data collection and management practices. Under this republication, the 
Department proposes to update 3 Privacy Act systems of records, and 
delete 9 obsolete systems of records, and implement a new coding 
structure for updated systems of records.
    This republication allows HUD to organize and re-publish up-to-date 
information for these systems of records in a more useful format. The 
system modifications and deletions incorporate Federal privacy 
requirements, and HUD policy requirements. The Privacy Act provides 
certain safeguards for an individual against and invasion of personal 
privacy by requiring Federal agencies to protect records contained in 
an agency system of records from unauthorized disclosure, ensure that 
information is current for its intended use, and that adequate 
safeguards are provided to prevent misuse of such information. 
Additionally, the updates reflect the Department's focus on industry 
best practices in protecting the personal privacy of the individuals 
covered by each system notification. This notice for each system of 
records state the name and location of the record system, the authority 
for and manner of it operations, the categories of individuals that it 
covers, the type of records that it contain, the sources of the 
information for those records, the routines uses of each systems of 
records, and the system of records exemption types. In addition, each 
notice include the business address of the HUD officials who will 
inform interested persons of the procedures whereby they may gain 
access to and/or request amendments to records pertaining to them. The 
routine uses that apply to this publication are reiterated based on 
past publication to clearly communicate the ways in which HUD continues 
to conducts some of its business practices.
    Since the republication of system of records notices does not meet 
the threshold requirements for new or amended system a report was not 
submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the Senate 
Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, and the House 
Committee on Government Reform as instructed by Paragraph 4c of 
Appendix l to OMB Circular No. A-130, ``Federal Agencies 
Responsibilities for Maintaining Records About Individuals,'' July 25, 
1994 (59 FR 37914).

their acquisition by HUD through the steps necessary to resell the 
properties. SAMS captures pertinent data relating to the properties, 
including acquisition, maintenance and sales cost, property description 
and value, bids and sales proceeds, and special program designations. 
Cases that have been in step 10, and subsequently without accounting 
activity for two years, are designated for archive and removed from 
SAMS. As a result of the

[[Page 10827]]

archive process, all related case management and accounting data

Policies and practices for storing, retrieving, accessing, retaining, 
and disposing of records in the system:
Storage:
    Records are stored electronically in a computer mainframe.
    Asset Managers are required to keep closed case files for HUD 
properties sold for six months. After that, the AMs send the case files 
to storage. FHA is required to maintain all closed case files for 
properties for 40 years.

Retrievability:
    Records are retrieved by computer search by the FHA Case Number, 
Property Address, or Purchaser's name and/or social security number.

Safeguards:
    Records are maintained in a secured computer network behind HUD's 
firewall. Access is limited to authorize personnel and requires a 
password and user ID before system access is granted.

Retention and disposal:
    Information is archived electronically and stored on magnetic 
tapes. Records will be retained and disposed of in accordance with the 
General Records Schedule included in HUD Handbook 2228.2, appendix 14, 
items 21-26. Paper base records are destroyed by burn or shredding. 
Electronic records are purged or deleted from the system when eligible 
to be destroyed using one of the methods described by the NIST SP 800-
88 ``Guideline for media Sanitization'' (September 2006).

HSNG.SF/HWAA.02

System Name:
    Single Family Insurance System--Claims Subsystem (A43C).

System Location:
    The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh 
Street SW., Washington, DC 20410, and at the Single Family Insurance 
System--Claims Subsystem software is located on HUD's mainframe, which 
is located at 3200 Kanawha Turnpike. Building 6000, South Charleston, 
WV 25303. Backup facilities and infrastructure services are provided by 
SUNGUARD (184 Railroad Drive, Warminster, PA 18974) and Lockheed Martin 
(4701 Forbes Boulevard, Lanham, MD 20706) respectively.

Categories of Individuals Covered by the System:
    A43C maintains data on mortgagors that have obtained a HUD insured 
mortgage. The system also records the servicer and holder of HUD 
insured mortgages.

Categories of Records in the System:
    The Single Family Insurance System--Claims Subsystem includes 
mortgagor data such as FHA case number, mortgagor name, mortgagor 
Social Security Number, property address, and mortgage amount. Stored 
holder information includes the holder mortgagee name, holder number, 
holder address, and mortgagee reference number. Stored servicer 
information includes the servicer mortgagee name, servicer number, and 
servicer address.

Authority for Maintenance of the System:
    U.S. Housing Act of 1937 as amended (Pub. L. 75-412); National 
Housing Act of 1934; 24 CFR 203.35 (2013); 24 CFR 200.6 (2013); and 24 
CFR 5.216 (2013).

Description and System Purposes:
    The Single Family Insurance System--Claims Subsystem (CLAIMS) 
processes single family (SF) insurance claims against defaulted loans. 
CLAIMS also processes accounts receivables relating to SF claims, 
performs collection activities, processes cash receipts, and records 
accounts receivable activities as well as providing accounting 
information to users. The claims process is initiated when a servicing 
mortgagee completes and submits an application for Single Family 
Insurance Benefits (HUD Form 27011) to HUD headquarters, via Electronic 
Data Interchange (EDI), the FHA Connection, or paper. Each type of 
claim requires the submission of a Part A (Initial Application) and 
Part B (Fiscal Data). When submitting a paper conveyance claim, a Title 
Approval Letter (TAL) must accompany the claim. However, when 
transmitting the claim through EDI, the TAL is not submitted with the 
conveyance claim because the title approval data from A80S-Single 
Family Acquired Asset Management System (SAMS) is stored in an 
authorization file. Collection of a borrower's PII isn't required for 
performance of A43C's objective per say. A43C is a subset of A43 which 
is the system of record for insured single family loans. Prior to 
payment of claim for an insured loan through A43C, the loan needs to 
first be issued and insured

[[Page 10828]]

through A43. And in the process of the borrower obtaining an FHA-
insured loan, their PII is required to be collected.

Policies and practices for storing, retrieving, accessing, retaining, 
and disposing of records in the system:
Storage:
    Various types of storage media are used depending on the method 
used for filing a claim. Paper claims are filed at our contractor's 
office after processing, while disks and tapes are used to store 
electronic records in multiple computer record systems. Computer 
Center: 2020 Union Carbide Drive, South Charleston, WV 25303.

Retrievability:
    Data regarding a claim filed on a HUD insured property is obtained 
using the FHA Case Number, property address, mortgagor's name, 
mortgagee servicing number, or mortgagee holder number. Data retrieval 
can be performed in several ways: Standard reports, access via online 
pre-programmed CICS screens in A43C, access via the FHA Connection for 
case information, and the Data Warehouse (D64A).

Safeguards:
    Safeguards that are in place include: Lockable file cabinets; 
Secured computer facilities at HUD and their contractor's offices; 
Background checks of all HUD employees and contractor staff; Computer 
access to the multiple HUD record systems is restricted by passwords, 
defined individual access profiles (least privileges), and access to 
specified data fields is restricted. Users, whether at HUD Headquarters 
or the Homeownership Centers, obtain access to CLAIMS through a HUD 
INET communication link from their LAN to the IBM mainframe computer; 
Data is transmitted over secure T-1 and Shiva lines; Information about 
conveyed properties is available to the public via the Internet for 
marketing purposes. However, information covered by the Privacy Act of 
1974 and the Right to Financial Privacy Act (12 U.S.C. 3401 et seq.) is 
not incorporated in any Internet site.

Retention and Disposal:
    Obsolete data/backup tapes and/or hard drives are degaussed per DoD 
standards prior to disposal, release out of organizational control, or 
release for reuse. Further, tapes and hard drives are physically 
destroyed through shredding per DoD standards. However, defective/
failed EMC SAND drives aren't degaussed or destroyed. Data is stored in 
a SAN and HPES uses a government-approved data wipe software. HPES then 
physically destroys the disk.

    Purpose: ADAMS/P260 is a case management system for HUD owned and 
HUD managed single-family properties. The P260 application was 
introduced into production in 2010. ADAMS/P260 supports HUD staff at 
Headquarters and Homeownership Centers (HOCs), and HUD's Management and 
Marketing (M&M) contractors to track single-family properties from 
their acquisition by HUD through the steps necessary to resell the 
properties. ADAMS/P260 captures pertinent data relating to the 
properties, including acquisition, maintenance and sales cost, property 
description and value, bids and sales proceeds, and special program 
designations. ADAMS/P260 also tracks and monitors certain events after 
sales under the Good Neighbor Next Door, non-profit, and ACA sales 
programs. Additional Nonprofit/Government entity web-based program 
management tools improve the application, recertification, and 
reporting process for organizations that participate in the Office of 
Single Family Housing (OSFH) activities and to assist HUD staff with 
the daily administration of FHA's Nonprofit Program activities. HUD 
maintains a roster of nonprofit organizations that are qualified to 
participate in certain specified FHA activities. The Nonprofit data 
used by HUD staff to: (1) Verify an agency's eligibility to participate 
in the program; (2) to validate that no conflicts of interest exists 
amongst board members, employees, business partners, and homebuyers; 
(3) to validate that discounted HUD-REO homes were sold to eligible 
buyers; and (4) to determine that participating agencies have not 
exceeded profit limits on the re-sale of HUD-REO homes purchased 
through the discount program. However, because Government entities do 
not need approval to participate in the program they are not required 
to submit any business documentation or documentation on any governing 
boards or key staff. Government entities are required to submit 
property reports documenting the purchase and sell of REO discount 
properties.
