SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

(1) PBGC Is Proposing To Retire Four Systems of Records

    Pursuant the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, and as part of its 
ongoing integration and management efforts, the Pension Benefit 
Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) is retiring the following four systems of 
records notices: PBGC-4, Employee Travel Records--PBGC (last published 
at 77 FR 59252 (September 26, 2012)), PBGC-5, Personnel Files--PBGC 
(last published at 77 FR 59252 (September 26, 2012)), PBGC-18, Office 
of Negotiations and Restructuring Risk Management Early Warning 
System--PBGC (last published at 77 FR 59252 (September 26, 2012)), and 
PBGC-20, Identity Management System (IDMS) (last published at 77 FR 
59252 (September 26, 2012)).
    With regard to PBGC-4, PBGC will continue to collect and maintain 
records regarding individuals who use PBGC's travel and transportation 
resources and will rely upon the existing Federal Government-wide 
system of records titled GSA/GOVT-4 (Contracted Travel Service Program 
(50 FR 20294 April 15, 1985), which is written to cover all Federal 
travel service programs.
    With regard to PBGC-5, PBGC will continue to collect and maintain 
personnel records and will rely upon the existing Federal Government-
wide systems of records titled OPM/GOVT-1, General Personnel Records 
(71 FR 35342 June 19, 2006) and OPM/GOVT-2, Employee Performance File 
System of Records (71 FR 35347 June 19, 2006), which are written to 
cover all general Federal Government personnel records.
    With regard to PBGC-18, PBGC's Office of Negotiations and 
Restructuring will continue to maintain its Risk Management and Early 
Warning Program, but because none of the program records are retrieved 
by individuals' personally identifiable information, the program does 
not constitute a system of records as defined by the Privacy Act.
    With regard to PBGC-20, PBGC will continue to collect and maintain 
records pertaining to the Personal Identity Verification Management 
System and will rely upon the existing Federal Government-wide system 
of records titled GSA/GOVT-7 Personal Identity Verification Identity 
Management System (73 FR 22377 April 25, 2008), which is written to 
cover all PIV IDMS records of participating agencies.
    Eliminating these notices will have no adverse impacts on 
individuals, but will promote the overall streamlining and management 
of PBGC Privacy Act record systems.

(2) PBGC Is Proposing To Revise Its Routine Uses for PBGC-6

    PBGC is proposing to reorder the routine uses for PBGC-6 (this 
change is being made to all existing systems of records to the extent 
necessary to make all of PBGC's notices uniform in this regard).
    PBGC is proposing to revise routine use 5 (last published as 
routine use 4) PBGC-6, Plan Participant and Beneficiary Data--PBGC 
(last revised at 78 FR 64031 (October 25, 2013)). The existing routine 
use allows disclosure of payees' names, addresses, and telephone 
numbers, and ``information pertaining to debts owed to by such payees'' 
to the Department of Treasury or a debt collection agency or firm to 
collect a claim. PBGC is proposing that the phrase, ``information 
pertaining to debts owed to by such payees,'' be changed to, 
``information related to how the PBGC determined that a debt was owed 
by such payees . . .'' The amended routine use better describes the 
information that PBGC periodically discloses under the routine use.
    PBGC is also proposing to add two additional routine uses to PBGC-
6. Routine use 15 will read, ``Information relating to revocation of a 
power of attorney may be disclosed to the former agent that was named 
in the revoked power of attorney.'' This routine use is necessary to 
allow PBGC to notify an agent that he/she no longer has power of 
attorney for a given individual because the individual has provided 
PBGC with written notice of a new power of attorney. This routine use 
will make it possible for PBGC to avoid delays and confusion when an 
individual changes his/her power of attorney while interacting or 
communicating with PBGC.
    Routine use 16 will read, ``Name and date of birth of a 
participant's beneficiary may be provided to that participant upon 
request by that participant.'' This routine use is necessary to allow 
PBGC to better respond to requests from participants for ``a copy of my 
file.'' Presently, when responding to such a request, PBGC withholds 
the personal information (i.e. name, date of birth, address, social

[[Page 53573]]

security number, etc.) of a beneficiary that is contained in 
participant's file, even though it was often the participant who 
originally provided the beneficiary's personal information (as a 
function of naming the individual as a beneficiary), because it is 
personally identifiable information about an individual other than the 
requester. By allowing PBGC to disclose the name and date of birth of a 
participant's beneficiary to that participant, routine use 16 will 
allow PBGC to provide sufficient information about a beneficiary for a 
participant to know who he/she named as a beneficiary while still 
protecting the beneficiary's privacy (e.g. not disclosing the 
beneficiary's social security number). This routine use will improve 
customer service without sacrificing any individuals' privacy 
interests.

(3) PBGC Is Proposing To Revise the Purpose of and Routine Uses to 
PBGC-11

    PBGC is proposing to revise the purpose of the PBGC-11, Call Detail 
Records (last revised at 77 FR 59252 (September 26, 2012)). The 
existing purpose focuses on operating costs, one element of which is 
monitoring employees' phone usage. Operating costs are no longer a 
concern, but PBGC continues to use the system of records to monitor 
employees' phone usage. PBGC is therefore proposing to narrow the 
purpose of PBGC-11 accordingly.
    In accordance with the proposed narrower purpose, PBGC is proposing 
to delete Routine Uses 1 and 2 of PBGC--11.

(4) PBGC Is Proposing To Add Exemption (k)(2) to Three of Its Existing 
Systems of Records

    PBGC is proposing to add exemption (k)(2) to PBGC-8, Employee 
Relations Files, PBGC-12, Personnel Security Investigation Records, and 
PBGC-19, Office of General Counsel Case Management System. Adding this 
exemption will permit PBGC to assist civil and criminal law enforcement 
when necessary without unfairly or inappropriately limiting any 
individuals' access to Privacy Act records. This exemption will also be 
included in PBGC's new systems of records, PBGC-23, Internal 
Investigations of Allegations of Harassing Conduct.

(5) Pbgc Is Proposing To Make Technical and Clarifying Amendments to 
Seventeen Systems of Records

    PBGC is proposing to correct and update the security 
classification, system location, categories of individuals covered by 
the system, categories of records in the system, authority for 
maintenance of the system, purpose(s), routine uses of records 
maintained in the system, including categories of users and the 
purposes of such uses, disclosure to consumer reporting agencies, 
storage, retrievability, safeguards, retention and disposal, system 
manager(s) and address, notification procedure, record access 
procedures, contesting record procedures, record source categories, and 
systems exempted from certain provisions of the Act of PBGC-1, 
Correspondence Between the PBGC and Persons Outside of the PBGC (last 
published at 77 FR 59252 (September 26, 2012)), PBGC-2, Disbursements 
(last published at 78 FR 64031 (October 25, 2013)), PBGC-3, Employee 
Payroll, Leave, and Attendance Records (last published at 77 FR 59252 
(September 26, 2012)), PBGC-6, Plan Participant and Beneficiary Data 
(last published at 78 FR 64031 (October 25, 2013)), PBGC-8, Employee 
Relations Files (last published at 77 FR 59252 (September 26, 2012)), 
PBGC-9, Plan Participant and Beneficiary Address Identification File 
(last published at 77 FR 59252 (September 26, 2012)), PBGC-10, 
Administrative Appeals File (last published at 77 FR 59252 (September 
26, 2012)), PBGC-11, Call Detail Records (last published at 77 FR 59252 
(September 26, 2012)), PBGC-12, Personnel Security Investigation 
Records (last published at 77 FR 59252 (September 26, 2012)), PBGC-13, 
Debt Collection (last published at 77 FR 59252 (September 26, 2012)), 
PBGC-14, My Plan Administration Account Authentication Records (last 
published at 77 FR 59252 (September 26, 2012)), PBGC-15, Emergency 
Notification Records (last published at 77 FR 59252 (September 26, 
2012)), PBGC-16, Employee Online Directory (last published at 77 FR 
59252 (September 26, 2012)), PBGC-17, Inspector General Investigative 
File System (last published at 77 FR 59252 (September 26, 2012)), PBGC-
19, Office of General Counsel Case Management System (last published at 
77 FR 59252 (September 26, 2012)), PBGC-21, Reasonable Accommodation 
Records (last published at 78 FR 64031 (October 25, 2013)), and PBGC-
22, Telework and Alternative Worksite Records (last published at 78 FR 
64031 (October 25, 2013)). These amendments, the majority of which are 
non-substantive, will make the systems of records notices more accurate 
and easier to understand, individually, and when read together.
    PBGC is also proposing to amend the names of PBGC-1, Correspondence 
Between the PBGC and Persons Outside of the PBGC-PBGC, PBGC-9, Plan 
Participant and Beneficiary Address Identification File, PBGC-14, My 
Plan Administration Account Authentication Records, and PBGC-16, 
Employee Online Directory--PBGC. PBGC-1 will now be named Congressional 
Correspondence, PBGC-9 will now be named Unclaimed Pensions, PBGC-14 
will now be named My Plan Administration Account Records, and PBGC-16 
will now be named People Search. These amendments make the system names 
more accurate of the respective systems of records.

(6) PBGC Is Proposing To Establish a New System Of Records

    PBGC is proposing establish a new system of records titled, ``PBGC-
23, Internal Investigations of Allegations of Harassing Conduct--
PBGC.'' The proposed system of records is necessary to carry out PBGC's 
Prevention of Workplace Harassment Policy and will cover files that 
identify by name, or other personal identifier, individuals who have 
complained that they have been subjected to harassment in the 
workplace, as well as individuals about whom such complaints have been 
made. These files may include: Complaints (including a completed 
complaint form), details pertaining to interim measures considered and/
or taken, investigation notes, witness statements, emails and other 
evidence collected during an investigation, correspondence, 
communications with PBGC's Office of General Counsel, results of an 
investigation, and close-out memoranda. The Human Resources Department, 
as it has always done, will continue to respect the privacy of 
individuals named in these files and will disclose, within the 
boundaries of the law, the least amount of information necessary to 
perform its responsibilities.
    The collection and maintenance of records subject to this system 
are not new because records of the same type have been collected and 
maintained by the Human Resources since its establishment. Those 
records, however, were not previously maintained or retrieved by a name 
or other personal identifier. With the implementation of new harassment 
investigation procedures (scheduled to become effective on October 1, 
2014), which includes a new record-keeping scheme, the records will be 
in a system of records, as defined in The Privacy Act Implementation: 
Guidelines and Responsibilities, 40 FR 28,498 (July 9, 1975).

[[Page 53574]]

    Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(11), interested persons are invited to 
submit written comments on the proposal of these two systems of 
records. A report on the proposed systems has been sent to Congress and 
the Office of Management and Budget for their evaluation.
    For the convenience of the public, PBGC's Prefatory Statement of 
General Routine Uses, the amended systems of records, and the new 
systems of records are published in full below with changes italicized.
