II. Introduction

    This notice informs the public of FHFA's proposed revisions to an 
existing system of records. This notice satisfies the Privacy Act 
requirement that an agency publishes a system of records notice in the 
Federal Register when there is an addition or change to an agency's 
system of records. As required by the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), 
and pursuant to section 7 of Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
Circular No. A-108, Federal Agency Responsibilities for Review, 
Reporting, and Publication under the Privacy Act, prior to publication 
of this notice, FHFA submitted a report describing the system of 
records covered by this notice to the OMB, the Committee on Oversight 
and Government Reform of the House of Representatives, and the 
Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of the Senate.

III. Revised System of Records

    The revised system of records notice is set out in its entirety and 
described in detail below. The proposed modification to the ``Payroll, 
Retirement, Time and Attendance, and Leave Records, FHFA-15'' makes the 
following substantive and non-substantive changes:
    (1) Modifies the system's security classification consistent with 
OMB guidance;
    (2) Updates the system's location by adding references to FHFA-
authorized service providers and contractor networks;
    (3) Updates the contact information for the designated system 
manager;
    (4) Revises the legal authorities identified in the Authority for 
Maintenance of the System section;
    (5) Revises the purpose of the system to include support for the 
telework and other human resources functions of the Agency, as well as 
to allow for the Agency to contact employees or their designated 
emergency contacts in the event of a health or safety emergency, 
including to confirm the well-being of an employee;
    (6) Revises the Categories of Records in the System section by 
adding ``date of birth'' and employees' emergency contact information;
    (7) Revises existing routine use (6), which provides for disclosure 
``[t]o appropriate third parties contracted by FHFA to facilitate 
mediation or other dispute resolution procedures or programs'' by 
adding language clarifying that such disclosures are limited to records 
relevant to the dispute and where the dispute relates to the purpose 
for which the records were collected;

[[Page 55586]]

    (8) Revises existing routine use (10), which provides for 
disclosure ``[t]o the Department of the Treasury, Bureau of the Public 
Debt to provide financial management services and systems, including 
local and temporary duty travel, involving FHFA employees'' by deleting 
the sub-office Bureau of Public Debt to ensure the appropriate office 
is identified in case of an office name change;
    (9) Revises existing routine use (11), which provides for 
disclosure ``[t]o the Internal Revenue Service and appropriate State 
and local taxing authorities'' by narrowing the scope and including the 
caveat that the disclosure will be made if the employee is subject to 
tax by that authority and to the extent necessary for that entity to 
carry out its legally authorized functions, whether or not tax is 
withheld;
    (10) Adds new routine use (20), which provides for disclosure 
``[t]o officials of a labor organization when relevant and necessary to 
their duties of exclusive representation concerning personnel policies, 
practices, and matters affecting working conditions'';
    (11) Adds new routine use (21), which provides for disclosure 
``[t]o a Congressional office from the record of an individual in 
response to an inquiry from the Congressional office made at the 
request of that individual'';
    (12) Adds new routine use (22), which provides for disclosure 
``[t]o a court, magistrate, or administrative tribunal, including 
disclosures to opposing counsel or witnesses, shared in the course of 
discovery, litigation, or settlement negotiations or in connection with 
criminal law proceedings or in response to a subpoena from a court of 
competent jurisdiction if the requested information is relevant and 
necessary to the pending judicial or administrative proceeding'';
    (13) Adds new routine use (23), which provides for disclosure 
``[t]o OMB, DOJ, Department of Labor, Office of Personnel Management, 
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, U.S. Office of Special 
Counsel, Department of Homeland Security, or other Federal agencies, to 
obtain advice regarding statutory, regulatory, policy, and other 
requirements related to the purpose for which FHFA collected the 
records'';
    (14) Adds new routine use (24), which provides for disclosure 
``[t]o the U.S. Department of the Treasury when disclosure of the 
information is relevant to review payment and award eligibility through 
the Do Not Pay Working System for the purposes of identifying, 
preventing, or recouping improper payments to an applicant for, or 
recipient of, Federal funds, including funds disbursed by a state 
(meaning a state of the United States, the District of Columbia, a 
territory or possession of the United States, or a federally recognized 
Indian tribe) in a state-administered, federally funded program in 
accordance with Executive Order 14249'';
    (15) Updates the ``Policies and Practices for Storage of Records'' 
section to include FHFA's authorized contractor and shared-service 
provider networks;
    (16) Updates the ``Policies and Practices for Retention and 
Disposal of Records'' section to add the Agency's retention practices 
regarding legal holds and disposal procedures;
    (17) Revises the Administrative, Technical, and Physical Safeguards 
to replace ``access codes'' with ``role-based access controls''; and
    (18) Makes minor corrections and other administrative updates to 
the remaining sections of the notice in accordance with OMB Circular A-
108 and related OMB guidance.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF RECORDS:
    Records are maintained in electronic format. Electronic records are 
stored on FHFA's secured network, the networks of FHFA-authorized cloud 
service providers, FHFA-authorized contractor networks, or the networks 
of other Federal agencies (or their authorized contractors) acting as 
shared service providers for FHFA. All networks are located within the 
Continental United States. All records for the system that are stored 
in paper format or on magnetic disk or tape have been moved off-site to 
Federal Records Centers.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF RECORDS:
    The records are retrieved by the individual's name, Social Security 
number, birth date, or other personal identifier.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND DISPOSAL OF RECORDS:
    The records are retained and managed in accordance with FHFA's 
Comprehensive Records Schedule and the National Archives and Records 
Administration's General Records Schedule. Records are destroyed or 
deleted according to the retention schedule associated with the 
relevant records schedule, but longer retention is authorized for 
business use and any applicable legal holds. Paper and microform 
records ready for disposal are destroyed by shredding or maceration. 
Records in electronic media are electronically erased using accepted 
techniques.

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL SAFEGUARDS:
    The electronic records are safeguarded in a secured environment and 
protected by controlled access procedures through the use of role-based 
access controls and other information technology security measures. 
Buildings where records and computerized systems are stored have 
security cameras and 24-hour security guard service. Access to records 
is restricted to only FHFA employees, FHFA contractors, and the 
employees and contractors of FHFA's shared service providers who 
require access in the performance of official duties related to the 
purposes for which the system of records is maintained.
