SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: (1) PBGC Is Proposing To Add an Additional Routine Use to Its Prefatory Statement of General Routine Uses PBGC is proposing to add an additional routine use to its Prefatory Statement of General Routine Uses. PBGC recently received correspondence from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) requesting that all agencies add an additional routine use to their system of records notices which allows them to provide information in their system of records to other federal agencies that may reasonably be needed to respond to a suspected or confirmed breach. This proposed routine use reflects the expanded scope of harms resulting from a breach and allows the government to more effectively respond to suspected or confirmed breaches. General Routine Use 14 will read: ``Disclosure to Another Federal Agency or Federal Entity. To another Federal agency or Federal entity, when information from this system of records is reasonably necessary to assist the recipient agency or entity in (1) responding to a suspected or confirmed breach or (2) preventing, minimizing, or remedying the risk of harm to individuals, the agency (including its information systems, programs, and operations), the Federal Government, or national security.'' (2) PBGC Is Proposing To Add an Additional Routine Use to PBGC-3, Employee Payroll, Leave, and Attendance Records PBGC's review of its system of records notices revealed that PBGC occasionally receives data calls from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) requesting records from PBGC-3. In order to permit PBGC to provide the relevant records to OPM, PBGC is proposing to add a new routine use to PBGC-3. Routine Use 4 will read: ``Information from this system of records may be disclosed to the Office of Personnel Management pursuant to that agency's responsibility for the evaluation and oversight of Federal personnel management.'' (3) PBGC Is Proposing To Add an Additional Routine Use to PBGC-19, Office of General Counsel Case Management System PBGC is proposing to add an additional routine use to PBGC-19. PBGC recently received correspondence from the Office of Government Information Services (OGIS) requesting that PBGC add an OGIS routine use to its Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)/Privacy Act (PA) system of records notice. PBGC uses FOIAonline (https://foiaonline.regulations.gov/) to process all of its FOIA and PA requests. FOIAonline is an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) system and is covered by EPA-9. Therefore, PBGC does not have its own system of records dedicated solely to FOIA and PA records. PBGC does however, store and maintain its FOIA and PA administrative appeals and responses in PBGC-19. Accordingly, PBGC proposes to add an additional routine use to PBGC-19, which will enable OGIS to more effectively carry out its statutory mission and will also provide requesters with easier access to the dispute resolution process. Routine Use 10 will read: ``A record from this system of records may be disclosed to the National Archives and Records Administration, Office of Government Information Services (OGIS), to the extent necessary to fulfill its responsibilities in 5 U.S.C. 552(h), to review administrative agency policies, procedures and compliance with the Freedom of Information Act, and to facilitate OGIS' offering of mediation services to resolve disputes between persons making FOIA requests and administrative agencies.'' (4) PBGC Is Proposing To Remove a Routine Use From PBGC-22, Telework and Alternative Worksite Records In the process of reviewing its system of records notices, PBGC determined that Routine Use 2 in PBGC-22 is unnecessary. Routine 2 use states: ``A record from this system may be disclosed to medical professionals to obtain information about an employee's medical background necessary to grant or deny approval of medical telework.'' However, this system of records does not contain records pertaining to medical telework. Medical telework records are only contained in PBGC- 21 and therefore, the routine use is unnecessary. [[Page 63299]] (5) PBGC Is Proposing To Establish a New System of Records, PBGC-24, Participant Debt Collection In the process of reviewing its system of records notices, PBGC determined that two systems at PBGC perform debt collection activities. PBGC determined that it was necessary to publish an additional system of records notice to describe the participant debt collection activities performed by PBGC's Office of Benefits Administration in addition to PBGC's current debt collection system of records, PBGC-13, which covers the debt collection activities performed by PBGC's Financial Operations Department. (6) PBGC Is Proposing Various Technical and Clarifying Changes to Eighteen Existing Systems of Records In the process of reviewing its system of records notices, PBGC determined it was necessary to make various technical and clarifying changes to all eighteen of its existing systems of records notices. These amendments, which are non-substantive, will make the systems of records notices more accurate and easier to understand, individually, and when read together. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(11), interested persons are invited to submit written comments on the proposal of these 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 system of records are published in full below with changes italicized. Issued in Washington, DC this 17th day of August, 2016. W. Thomas Reeder, Director, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.
