INTER-AMERICAN FOUNDATION


Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: Inter-American Foundation.

ACTION: Notice of a new system of records.

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

SUMMARY: The Inter-American Foundation (IAF) proposes to add three new 
electronic systems of records: IAF/FPPS (Federal Personnel and Payroll 
System) (IAF-01), IAF Salesforce CRM (Customer Relationship Management) 
(IAF-02), IAF GovGrants (IAF-03). This notice is required to meet the 
requirements of the Privacy Act to publish in the Federal Register a 
notice of the existence and character of records maintained by the 
agency.

DATES: This action will be effective without further notice on October 
21, 2024 unless comments are received that would result in a contrary 
determination. Comments must be received by October 21, 2024.

ADDRESSES: Comments should include the system name the comments relate 
to and may be submitted electronically to [email protected] or 
by mail to Chief Information Officer, Inter-American Foundation, 1331 
Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Suite 1200, Washington, DC 20004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dominic Bumbaca, Chief Information 
Security Officer, Inter-American Foundation, 1331 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, 
Suite 1200, Washington, DC 20004, at (202)-360-4530.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 
embodies fair information practice principles in a statutory framework 
governing the means by which Federal agencies collect, maintain, use, 
and disseminate individuals' records. The Privacy Act applies to 
records about individuals; these records are maintained in a ``system 
of records,'' which refers to a group of any records under the control 
of an agency from which information is retrieved by the name of an 
individual or by some identifying number, symbol, or other identifying 
particular assigned to the individual. The Privacy Act requires each 
agency to publish in the Federal Register a description denoting the 
existence and character of each system of records that the agency 
maintains and the routine uses of each system. In accordance with 5 
U.S.C. 552a(r), the IAF has provided a report of these system of 
records to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and to Congress. 
The IAF is adding three new systems of records.
    The Federal Personnel and Payroll System (FPPS) (IAF-01) is an 
online personnel and payroll system providing support to Federal agency 
customers through DOI's Interior Business Center (IBC). FPPS is 
customized to meet customer needs for creating and generating the full 
life cycle of personnel transactions. IAF uses FPPS to manage human 
resources and payroll functions; ensure proper payment for salary and 
benefits; track time worked, leave, or other absences for reporting and 
compliance purposes; and meet regulatory requirements. FPPS allows for 
immediate updates and edits of personnel and payroll data. IAF has 
contracted with DOI IBC for human resource services including the use 
of FPPS. This SORN covers only the Inter-American Foundation data held 
within FPPS and does not cover the data of any other agencies utilizing 
DOI IBC's services nor does it cover data belonging to DOI.
    The IAF Salesforce CRM system (IAF-02) is used to manage 
relationships with potential or current contacts, beneficiaries, 
partners, donors, and other civil society organizations. It supports 
the mission of the Agency by increasing transparency, improving 
outreach, communications, and collaboration efforts with our 
stakeholders, as well as employing sound, repeatable methodologies.
    The IAF GovGrants system (IAF-03) will provide the agency a web-
based full life-cycle grants management system. The system will 
maintain grant program information, notice of funding opportunities, 
agency award application package information, agency award agreement, 
and reporting information to meet compliance requirements with the Data 
Act and Foreign Assistance Act.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF RECORDS:
    Records are maintained and stored electronically by IBC. Temporary 
paper records are maintained in file folders stored within a locked 
filing cabinet within IAF Headquarters in a secure facility and secure 
office area with controlled access.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF RECORDS:
    FPPS authorized users, including IAF authorized personnel, may 
retrieve records by employee name, Social Security Number (SSN), Tax 
Identification Number (TIN), employee common identifier (ECI), birth 
date, or assigned person number.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:
    Records are maintained in accordance with NARA approved record 
schedules for the retention of reports and data. Specifically, General 
Records Schedule (GRS) 1.0 ``Finance'' and GRS 2.0 ``Human Resources'' 
are applicable to the FPPS system.
    The system generally maintains temporary records, and retention 
periods vary based on the type of record under each item and the needs 
of the agency. Paper records are disposed of by shredding.

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL SAFEGUARDS:
    During normal hours of operation, paper records are maintained in a 
locked file cabinet in a secured office area inside a secure facility 
under the control of authorized personnel. Paper records are shredded 
in accordance with Government data destruction standards
    To prevent misuse, (e.g., unauthorized browsing) IAF signed an 
Interconnection Security Agreement (ISA) and Memorandum of 
Understanding (MOU) with the IBC to clearly establish and document IBC 
and client security roles and responsibilities. Most of the employee 
data in FPPS is collected from individuals and entered into FPPS by an 
authorized Agency human resources professional with access to the 
system.
    The FPPS system has undergone a formal Security Authorization and 
Accreditation and has been granted an authority to operate by the DOI 
in accordance with FISMA and NIST standards. FPPS is rated as FISMA 
Moderate based upon the type of data, and it requires strict security 
and privacy controls to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and 
availability of the sensitive PII contained in the system.
    Data is protected by the following electronic security systems: 
Password, Firewall, Encryption, User ID, Intrusion Detection System, 
Virtual Private Network (VPN), Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) 
Certificates, Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Card.

or is necessary to demonstrate the accountability of IAF's officers, 
employees, or individuals covered by the system, except to the extent

context of a particular case would constitute an unwarranted invasion 
of personal privacy.

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL SAFEGUARDS:
    The Salesforce Government Cloud Plus system achieved a provisional 
Authority to Operate (ATO) at the ``High'' impact level issued by the 
Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Joint 
Authorization Board (JAB). System access is limited to IAF authorized 
users utilizing multi-factor authentication.
    IAF GovGrants has configurable, layered data sharing and 
permissions features to ensure users have proper access. Authorized 
users have access only to the data and functions required to perform 
their job functions. Role based access is managed via IAF GovGrants 
administrators using Salesforce system administration, user, and 
security functions. PII information in the system will be encrypted in 
transit and at rest, and HTTPS protocol will be employed in accessing 
GovGrants.
    Multi-factor authentication is required to access the system and 
data stored in the system of record is also protected by a firewall and 
intrusion detection.
