Privacy Act of 1974: New System of Records

AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM).

ACTION: Notice of a new system of records.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management is proposing to add a new 
system of records to its inventory of record systems subject to the 
Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), as amended. This action is 
necessary to meet the requirements of the Privacy Act to publish in the 
Federal Register notice of the existence and character of records 
maintained by the agency (5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4)). The Integrity Assurance 
Officer Control Files (Internal 20) system of records has been 
operational since February 2005 without incident. Previously, OPM has 
relied on preexisting Privacy Act system of records notices for the 
collection and maintenance of these records. In an effort to increase 
transparency, OPM is publishing a separate notice for this system.

DATES: This addition will be effective without further notice on May 
27, 2014, unless we receive comments that result in a contrary 
determination.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to the Program Manager for the Freedom 
of Information and Privacy Act Office, Federal Investigative Services, 
U.S. Office of Personnel Management, 1137 Branchton Road, PO Box 618, 
Boyers, Pennsylvania 16018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Program Manager, Freedom of 
Information and Privacy Act Office, [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 
5 U.S.C. 552a, the Office of Personnel Management Federal Investigative 
Services (OPM-FIS) proposes to establish a new system of records titled 
Integrity Assurance Officer Control Files (Internal 20). This system of 
records allows OPM-FIS to collect, analyze, coordinate, and report 
investigations into allegations of misconduct or negligence by OPM 
Federal and contractor staff. The information in this system documents 
investigations into allegations or concerns of the following possible 
misconduct: (1) Fraud against the Government; (2) Theft of Government 
property; (3) Misuse of Government property and IT systems; and (4) 
Improper personal conduct. This information is reported to other OPM 
components or Federal agencies for criminal, administrative, or any 
other actions deemed appropriate. Additionally, the OPM is issuing a 
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking concurrent with this system of records 
notice elsewhere in the Federal Register in order to claim exemptions 
from certain requirements of the Privacy Act.

Director.
