SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 25, 2025, President Trump issued
Executive Order (E.O.) 14249, Protecting America's Bank Account Against
Fraud, Waste, and Abuse, which requires executive branch agencies to
take action to defend against financial fraud and prevent improper
payments in collaboration with the Department of the Treasury, the
Federal Government's largest financial payment manager. On August 20,
2025, OMB also issued Memorandum M-25-32, ``Preventing Improper
Payments and Protecting Privacy Through Do Not Pay,'' to the heads of
all executive departments and agencies. Specifically, OMB Memorandum M-
25-32 requires all Senior Agency Officials for Privacy to ensure that
their agency's system of records notices include a routine use for the
disclosure of information to the Department of the Treasury, when
relevant and necessary for identifying, preventing, or recouping
improper payments by reviewing payment and award eligibility through
the Do Not Pay Working System, to the extent permissible by law. This
Notice provides official notice to the public that the agency has added
Routine Use O to the Peace Corps' General Routine Use list of systems
of records to comply with OMB Memorandum M-25-32. Routine Use O applies
specifically to SORNs PC-1, PC-9, P-22 and PC-23, respectively (see
Table 1 below). This new routine use will help to ensure that the
agency can share data with the Treasury Department's Do Not Pay (DNP)
system to verify eligibility and prevent suspected fraud or improper
payments and helps protect privacy by integrating privacy safeguards
into the DNP initiative.
SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:
First, Routine Use O applies and modifies PC-1, PC-9, P-22 and PC-
23, respectively (see Table 1 below). Please refer to the specific
SORNs in the table to find specific routine uses that are unchanged by
this Notice. Second, please refer to the appropriate individual SORN
for any additional information unchanged by this Notice.

state (meaning a state of the United States, the District of Columbia,

recognized Indian tribe) in a state-administered, federally funded
program.
