SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Purpose of the Collection

    Treasury seeks to interact with the public on matters related to 
specific Treasury missions, initiatives, activities and functions. In 
this regard, Treasury anticipates that it will be helpful to collect 
information and opinions posted on social media platforms or submitted 
to Treasury directly on Treasury.gov. Treasury will collect and, in 
some cases, republish this material to facilitate public engagement and 
awareness of Treasury and bureau initiatives. In this manner, social 
media will enable Treasury to interact with the public in effective and 
meaningful ways; encourage the broad exchange of and centrally locate a 
variety of viewpoints on proposed and existing Treasury missions; and 
educate the general public about evolving Treasury initiatives.
    Information That Will Be Collected: This collection will include 
information, opinions, and other material gathered in two ways: (1) 
Information publicly posted by individuals on third-party social media 
Web sites in connection with Treasury-generated hashtags or other 
Treasury-generated social media message identifiers; (2) information 
submitted directly to Treasury on web forms posted on Treasury.gov. In 
both instances, the information collected may also include identifying 
information relating to the individuals posting or submitting the 
material, to the extent such identifying information is provided or 
posted.

Types of Information Collected

    The following types of information are collected to the extent the 
individual either provides the information through Treasury.gov or 
publicly publishes this information on third-party social media sites 
using Treasury-generated social media identifiers: Full name; username; 
email address; content of publicly-posted text; videos; photos; 
graphics; and interviews.

How the Information Is Used

    Treasury collects, maintains, and sometimes publicly displays 
information that individuals choose to: (1) Publicly post on third-
party social media Web sites using Treasury-generated social media 
``hashtags'' or other social media identifiers related to Treasury 
missions, activities, initiatives, or operations; or (2) submit 
directly through web forms on Treasury.gov.

    Treasury may make all or portions of the information collected 
publicly available on its Web site(s). Treasury may also share the 
information collected with the National Archives and Records 
Administration (NARA) to ensure compliance with Federal Records Act 
requirements, or in response to NARA Office of Government Information 
Services requests relating to Treasury compliance with the Freedom of 
Information Act. Treasury may also share the information with 
contractors for the purpose of compiling, organizing, analyzing, 
programming, or otherwise refining the information to accomplish an 
agency function. Treasury may also share the information with a 
Congressional office in response to an inquiry made at the request of 
the individual to whom the information pertains. If Treasury suspects 
or has confirmed that the security or confidentiality of information 
posted on its Web site(s) (whether maintained by the Department or 
another agency or entity that relies on the information) has been 
compromised, Treasury will share the information with appropriate 
agencies, entities, and persons when reasonably necessary to assist in 
connection with the Department's efforts to respond to the suspected or 
confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm. 
Treasury may also share the information with the Department of Justice 
for investigation, legal advice and/or representation.

    Information collected by Treasury is maintained in a secure 
information system to ensure its integrity and availability. Records in 
this system are protected in accordance with applicable rules and 
policies, including all applicable Treasury automated systems security 
and access policies. Strict controls have been imposed to minimize risk 
of compromising the information being stored. Access to the information 
system and privileges to modify or remove information from the system 
is limited to those individuals who have a need to know the information 
for the performance of their official duties and who have appropriate 
clearances or permissions.

How Long the Information Is Retained
