AGENCY: Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board.

ACTION: Notice of amendment to existing Privacy Act system of records.

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

SUMMARY: The Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board (Board) is 
issuing public notice of its intent to amend a system of records that 
it maintains subject to the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), as 
amended. Specifically, RATB-11 entitled ``Oversight Support'' is being 
amended to reflect one new routine use for information contained in the 
system and to make various technical corrections and/or clarifications.

DATES: This action will be effective without further notice on August 
5, 2015 unless comments are received that would result in a contrary 
determination.

Counsel, Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board, 1717 
Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Suite 700, Washington, DC 20006;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board is amending a system of records 
that it maintains subject to the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), 
as amended. Specifically, RATB-11 entitled ``Oversight Support'' is 
being amended to reflect one new routine use for information contained 
in the system to enable the transfer of information to successor data 
custodians in advance of the Board's termination on September 30, 2015. 
The Board is also making technical corrections and/or clarifications in 
other sections, including the security classification, categories of 
individuals covered by the system, authority for maintenance of system, 
purpose(s), routine uses, safeguards, system manager, notification 
procedure, record access procedures, and contesting records procedures. 
Also for clarity, the Board is adding a separate section specifically 
addressing exemptions from certain provisions of the Privacy Act; 
however, the underlying exemptions are not new. In accordance with 5 
U.S.C. 552a(r), the Board has provided a report of this amended system 
of records to the Office of Management and Budget and to Congress. The 
amended system of records reads as follows:

follows:
    A. To the appropriate federal, state, local, or tribal agency

a statute, rule, regulation, or order, if the information is relevant 
to a violation or potential violation of civil or criminal law or 
regulation within the jurisdiction of the receiving entity.
    B. To any individual or entity when necessary to elicit information 
that will assist in a Board review or audit.
    C. To appropriate officials and employees of a federal agency or 
entity that require information relevant to a decision concerning the 
hiring, appointment, or retention of an individual; the issuance, 
renewal, suspension, or revocation of a security clearance; or the 
execution of a security or suitability investigation.
    D. To provide responses to queries from federal agencies and 
entities, including but not limited to regulatory and law enforcement

determination related to or arising out of a past, present or 
prospective (i) contract or (ii) grant or other benefit.

when the Member or staff requests the information on behalf of, and at

    2. Any employee of the Board in his or her official capacity; or
    3. Any employee of the Board in his or her individual capacity 
where the DOJ or the Board has agreed to represent the employee; or

likely to affect the Board or any of its components, is a party to 
litigation or has an interest in such litigation, and the use of such 
records by the DOJ or the Board is deemed by the Board to be relevant 
and necessary to the litigation, provided, however, that in each case 
it has been determined that the disclosure is compatible with the 
purpose for which the records were collected.
    G. Information may be disclosed to the National Archives and 
Records Administration in records management inspections.
    H. Information may be disclosed to contractors, grantees, 
consultants, or volunteers performing or working on a contract,

    I. To appropriate federal agencies or entities that will act as 
successor legal and/or physical custodians of the information disclosed

DISCLOSURE TO CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCIES:
    Not applicable.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, 
AND DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
STORAGE:
    Information in this system is stored electronically on digital 
storage devices or as hard copy files. All record storage procedures 
are in accordance with current applicable regulations.

RETRIEVABILITY:
    Records are retrievable by database management systems software 
designed to retrieve data elements based upon role-based user access 
privileges. Records may be retrieved by personal identifiers such as, 
but not limited to, name, social security number, date of birth, or 
telephone number. Records may also be retrieved by non-personal 
information such as file number, entity/institution name, subject 
matter, agency involved, or other information.

SAFEGUARDS:
    The Board has minimized the risk of unauthorized access to the 
system by

[[Page 38480]]

establishing a secure environment for exchanging electronic 
information. Physical access to the data system housed within the 
facility is controlled by Federal Information Processing Standards 
(FIPS) compliant access controlled systems. The entire complex is 
patrolled by security during non-business hours. The computer system 
offers a high degree of resistance to tampering and circumvention and 
limits data access to Board and contract staff on a need-to-know basis. 
Individuals' ability to access and alter records within the system is 
controlled. All users of the system of records are provided a unique 
user identification (ID) with personal identifiers. User IDs are 
consistent with the above referenced role-based access privileges to 
maintain proper security of law enforcement and any other sensitive 
information. In concert with access controls, audit trails are used to 
record user and system activity within the system and its associated 
applications.
    Paper records are maintained in file cabinets which may be locked 
or in specified areas to which only authorized personnel have access.

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:
    Board personnel will review records on a periodic basis to 
determine whether they should be retained or modified. Further, the 
Board will retain and dispose of these records in accordance with Board 
Records Control Schedules approved by the National Archives and Records 
Administration.
