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 instructs agencies, including OPM, to
``review and modify, as applicable, their relevant system of records
notices under the Privacy Act of 1974 to include a ``routine use'' that
allows for the disclosure of records to the Department of the Treasury
for the purposes of identifying, preventing, or recouping fraud and
improper payments, to the extent permissible by law.''
In support of this effort, the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) issued Memorandum M-25-32, Preventing Improper Payments and
Protecting Privacy Through Do Not Pay, which requires agencies to
review and update their system of records notices, as relevant and
necessary, to include a routine use permitting disclosure of records to
the Department of the Treasury, including the Do Not Pay Working
System, to support payment and award eligibility review and improper
payment prevention and recovery activities. The memorandum further
directs agencies to use Treasury's Do Not Pay capabilities, consistent
with applicable privacy protections, to verify eligibility, detect
fraud, and prevent and recoup improper payments.
To ensure compliance with E.O. 14249 and OMB Memorandum M-25-32,
OPM conducted a review of its system of records notices and identified
those requiring modification. Accordingly, OPM is proposing to add a
routine use to each relevant system of records listed in this notice to
permit disclosure of records to the Department of the Treasury for
these purposes.
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), OPM provided this notice to
modify the system of records to the Office of Management and Budget and
to Congress. These modifications will also be included in OPM's
inventory of record systems.
