FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Z. Mora, Chief, Information Management 
Division, Administration Department, 4171 N. Mesa, C-100, El Paso, TX

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The information contained in Datamart is 
derived from two existing systems covered by Privacy Act Systems of 
Records Notices: Federal Personnel and Payroll System (FPPS) covered by 
DOI-85, ``Payroll, Attendance, Retirement, and Leave Records'' and 
Federal Financial System (FFS) covered by DOI-90, ``Federal Financial 
System,'' as well as associated systems. The purpose of the Datamart is 
to provide a data warehouse that allows appropriate users to access 
FPPS and FFS data through a core reporting tool, Hyperion. The reports 
may be pre-formatted or ad hoc, and are available to appropriate users 
from the Department of the Interior or appropriate individuals from 
other Federal agencies, as detailed in the routine uses. This notice 
will be effective as proposed at the end of the comment period unless 
comments are received which would require a contrary determination. The 
USIBWC will publish a revised notice if changes are made based upon a 
review of comments received.

    Dated: October 8, 2015.
Matthew Myers,
Chief Counsel/Secretary Acting Privacy Act Officer.

for which the records were compiled.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, 
AND DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
STORAGE:
    Records maintained in the Datamart are electronic and contain 
information from source systems. They are stored in magnetic media at 
the central computer processing center. All NIST guidelines, as well as 
Departmental and OMB guidance are followed concerning the storage of 
the records.

RETRIEVABILITY:
    Records may be retrieved by entries reflecting the various 
categories of records in the system including name of individual, name 
of emergency contact, Social Security Number, Tax Identification 
Number, vendor code or number, date of birth, organizational code, etc.

SAFEGUARDS:
    Electronic records are maintained with safeguards meeting all 
appropriate statutory and regulatory guidelines, as well as 
Departmental guidance addressing the security requirements of 
Departmental Privacy Act Regulations (43 CFR 2.51) for automated 
records, and with Office of Management and Budget, and NIST. Further, 
agency officials only have access to records pertaining to their 
agencies.
    (1) Physical security: Computer systems are maintained in locked 
rooms housed within secure USIBWC buildings.
    (2) Technical Security: Electronic records are maintained in 
conformity with Office of Management and Budget and USIBWC guidelines 
reflecting the implementation of the Federal Information Security 
Management Act. The electronic data are protected through user 
identification, passwords, database permissions, encryption and 
software controls. Such security measures establish different degrees 
of access for different types of users. An audit trail is maintained 
and reviewed periodically to identify unauthorized access. A Privacy 
Impact Assessment was completed to ensure that Privacy Act requirements 
and personally identifiable information safeguard requirements are met.
    (3) Administrative Security: All USIBWC and contractor employees 
with access to Datamart are required to complete Privacy Act, Federal 
Records Act and IT Security Awareness training prior to being given 
access to the system, and on an annual basis thereafter. In addition, 
Federal employees supervise and monitor the use of Datamart.
