SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974,
the Department of the Treasury (``Treasury'' or the ``Department''),
Treasury proposes to modify a current Treasury system of records
titled, ``Department of the Treasury, Treasury .001--Treasury Payroll
and Personnel System'' System of Records.
The proposed modification to the system of records makes the
following substantive changes:
Treasury is modifying and publishing the modified system of
records notice to add (1) one authority to collect, (2) one
additional purpose (producing of reports, statistical surveys,
rosters, documentation, and studies required for the orderly
personnel administration within Treasury), (3) add 6 new routine
uses (1-6 of this notice), and (4) update the routine use 23
(formerly 17). This update includes disclosing information to the
Department of Justice, appropriate federal, state, local, tribal,
foreign, or international agency, Congressional office, the National
Archives and Records Administration Archivist, and the 2 breach
response routine uses. Additionally, this modification includes an
update to the authority to collect. The updated routine use 23 is
consistent with the purposes of the original SORN that the records
will be used for ``production of reports, statistical surveys,
rosters, documentation, and studies required for the orderly
personnel administration within Treasury.'' The updated routine use
makes it clear and more specific that the records may be disclosed
to contractors, grantees, experts, consultants, students, other
federal agencies, and others performing or working on a contract,
service, grant, cooperative agreement, or other assignment for the
Department of the Treasury as required, (5) add Executive Orders
9397, as amended by 13478, 9830, and 12107 relating to Federal
agency use of Social Security Numbers. These Executive Orders
authorize collection of the Social Security Number. The information
maintained in the system is collected to evaluate individuals for
specific employment opportunities, and (6) add the American Rescue
Plan Act of 2021 (Pub. L. 117-2) as an authority. The American
Rescue Plan Act of 2021 provides federal employees with emergency
paid leave (EPL) for reasons related to COVID-19. This paid leave
entitlement is similar to the emergency paid sick leave (EPSL)
provided under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, but it
is not a revival of EPSL. EPL may be used from March 11, 2021,
through Sept. 30, 2021 by employees unable to work.
Treasury has provided a report of this system of records to the
Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the House of
Representatives, the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental
Affairs of the Senate, and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB),
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) and OMB Circular A-108, ``Federal Agency
Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, and Publication under the
Privacy Act,'' dated December 23, 2016.
Dated: June 10, 2021.
