SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background The Department of the Interior (DOI), Interior Business Center (IBC) maintains the ``Payroll, Attendance, Retirement, and Leave Records--Interior, DOI-85'' system of records. This system helps DOI 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; [[Page 34157]] and meet regulatory requirements such as specialized pay, garnishments, and special appointment programs. DOI uses the integrated Federal Personnel and Payroll System (FPPS) and supporting systems to manage these payroll, time and attendance, and human capital management functions, meet regulatory requirements, and prepare reports to other Federal agencies including the Department of the Treasury and the Office of Personnel Management. The DOI payroll, attendance, retirement, and leave records described in this system of records notice form a part of the information contained in FPPS. Some personnel records contained in the FPPS may be covered under OPM/GOVT-1, General Personnel Records, the government-wide system of records notice published by the Office of Personnel Management. The DOI IBC is a Federal agency shared services provider that provides payroll and personnel processing services to internal and external customers, including its bureaus and offices and other Federal agency customers, through FPPS and its supporting systems. FPPS creates and generates the full life cycle of personnel transactions; allows for edits and updates of personnel and payroll data; and manages the regulatory requirements. Federal agency customers enter into agreements with the DOI IBC to host customer payroll and personnel data in the FPPS, and process payroll and personnel transactions on the customer's behalf. FPPS has interconnections with other Federal agencies; private organizations; Federal agency customers; state, city and county governments; and IBC internal systems that allow IBC to perform required transactions to fulfill its responsibilities to process payroll, personnel actions, and related functions. Although DOI hosts and processes payroll and personnel transactions on behalf of IBC customers, each customer retains ownership and control over its own records and is responsible for meeting requirements under the Privacy Act for the collection, maintenance and sharing of their records. Federal agency customers have published their own system of records notices for their employees' payroll and personnel related records hosted or processed by DOI. Individuals seeking access to, notification or correction of their records owned and maintained by external Federal agency customers must submit their requests to the employing Federal agency customer that owns the records in accordance with the applicable system of records notice published by that Federal agency customer. DOI is publishing this revised notice to reorganize the sections and update section titles in accordance with Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-108; describe the purpose of the system; and provide general and administrative updates to the system location, categories of individuals covered by the system, categories of records in the system, authority for maintenance of the system, storage, retrievability, safeguards, retention and disposal, system manager and address, notification procedures, records access and contesting procedures, and records source categories sections. Additionally, DOI is modifying existing routine uses to provide clarity and transparency. Routine use A was modified to further clarify disclosures to the Department of Justice or other Federal agencies when necessary in relation to litigation or judicial proceedings. Routine uses B, C, K, N, O, V, W, Z, EE, and GG have been modified to provide additional clarification on external organizations and circumstances where disclosures are proper and necessary to facilitate payroll and personnel functions or to comply with Federal requirements. DOI is proposing to add new routine uses HH through UU to facilitate sharing of information with agencies and organizations to ensure the efficient and effective management of personnel data and proper payment of salary and benefits for employees, promote the integrity of the records in the system, or carry out a statutory responsibility of the DOI or the Federal Government. Proposed routine use HH facilitates sharing of information with the Executive Office of the President to resolve issues concerning individual's records. Routine use II facilitates payroll and personnel functions under a cross-servicing agreement with other Federal agencies. Routine use JJ allows sharing of information to effectively manage Federal personnel functions related to complaints, claims and appeals initiated by employees. Routine use KK facilitates sharing of information to process or reconcile employees' unemployment claims, benefits, and related functions. Routine use LL facilitates sharing of information with carriers to process or reconcile survivor annuity or health benefits claims. Routine use MM allows DOI to share information to resolve issues or errors that may affect pay and leave in order to ensure an individual's personnel and payroll data is processed accurately. Routine use NN ensures the efficient and effective conduct of the Federal Government, to meet statutory obligations to ensure integrity during the administration of benefits programs, eligibility for Federally-funded or administered benefit programs, tax administration, and to prevent fraud or attempted fraud. Routine use OO facilitates sharing of information with Congress in its oversight role to help improve performance and ensure accountability of the Federal Government and to meets its constitutional responsibilities. Routine use PP allows sharing of wage information with the Department of Health and Human Services as required under the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996. Routine uses QQ and RR allow DOI to share information with appropriate Federal agencies or entities when reasonably necessary to respond to a breach of personally identifiable information and to prevent, minimize, or remedy the risk of harm to individuals or the Federal Government, or assist an agency in locating individuals affected by a breach in accordance with OMB Memorandum M-17-12, ``Preparing for and Responding to a Breach of Personally Identifiable Information.'' Routine use SS allows organizations authorized and required by law to perform audits or oversight operations to ensure accurate and effective personnel and payroll functions, proper payment for salary and benefits. Routine uses TT and UU allow sharing of information with a court, grand jury, tribunal, or other administrative or adjudicative body for the resolution of any legal dispute involving records in the system. II. Privacy Act 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 that are maintained in a ``system of records.'' A ``system of records'' is 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 defines an individual as a United States citizen or an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence. Individuals may request access to their own records that are maintained in a system of records in the possession or under the control of DOI by complying with DOI Privacy Act regulations at 43 CFR part 2, subpart K, and following the procedures outlined [[Page 34158]] in the Records Access, Contesting Record, and Notification Procedures sections of this notice. 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. The revised Payroll, Attendance, Retirement, and Leave Records system of records notice is published in its entirety below. In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), DOI has provided a report of this modified system of records to the Office of Management and Budget and to Congress. III. Public Participation You should be aware your entire comment including your personal identifying information, such as your address, phone number, email address, or any other personal identifying information in your comment, may be made publicly available at any time. While you may request to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee we will be able to do so. Teri Barnett, Departmental Privacy Officer.
