SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Circular No. A-108, the Department of the Treasury, Bureau of the Fiscal Service has completed a review of its Privacy Act systems of records notices to identify changes that will more accurately describe these records and is publishing an inventory of them.

On October 7, 2012, the Secretary of the Treasury issued Treasury Order 136-01, establishing within the Department of the Treasury (“Department”) the Bureau of the Fiscal Service (“Fiscal Service”). The new bureau consolidated the bureaus formerly known as the Financial Management Service (“FMS”) and the Bureau of the Public Debt (“BPD”). Treasury Order 136-01 was published in the

Federal Register

on May 24, 2013 (78 FR 31629). Fiscal Service is consolidating both legacy bureau's systems of records into a new set of SORNs under the Fiscal Service name.

BPD last published its systems of records in their entirety on August 17, 2011, at 76 FR 51128. FMS last published its systems of records in their entirety on October 15, 2012, at 77 FR 62602. Since consolidation, Fiscal Service published two additional systems of records: (1) Do Not Pay Payment Verification Records, published on December 9, 2013, at 78 FR 73923; and (2) OneVoice Customer Relationship Management, published on September 19, 2014, at 79 FR 56433.

In some instances, FMS and BPD's SORNs have been renumbered. In other cases, parts of the legacy bureaus' SORNs were combined into one or more SORNs. No SORN was rescinded in its entirety.

Fiscal Service's SORNs are derived as follows:

Systems of records notice .001 (Administrative Records) is derived from FMS system of records notice .001 (Administrative Records) and BPD system of records notice .001 (Human Resources and Administrative Records).

System of records notice .002 (Payment Records) is derived from FMS system of records notice .002 (Payment Records—Treasury/FMS).

System of records notice .003 (Claims and Inquiry Records on Treasury Checks, and International Claimants) is derived from FMS system of records notice .003 (Claims and Inquiry Records on Treasury Checks, and International Claimants).

System of records notice .010 (Pre-complaint Counseling and Complaint Activities) is derived from FMS system of records notice .012 (Pre-Complaint Counseling and Complaint Activities).

System of records notice .011 (Gifts to the United States) is derived from FMS system of records notice .013 (Gifts to the United States).

System of records notice .012 (Debt Collection Operations System) is derived from FMS system of records notice .014 (Debt Collection Operations System).

System of records notice .013 (Collections Records) is derived from FMS system of records notice .017 (Collections Records).

System of records notice .014 (United States Securities and Access) is derived from BPD systems of records notices .002 (United States Savings-Type Securities), .003 (United States Securities (Other than Savings-Type Securities)), and .008 (Retail Treasury Securities Access Application).

System of records notice .020 (U.S. Treasury Securities Fraud Information System) is derived from BPD system of records notice .009 (U.S. Treasury Securities Fraud Information System).

Fiscal Service is adding one routine use to all of the systems of records to share information with other federal agencies or federal entities as required by OMB Memorandum 17-12, “Preparing for and Responding to a Breach of Personally Identifiable Information,” dated January 3, 2017, to assist Treasury/Fiscal Service in responding to a suspected or confirmed breach or prevent, minimize, or remedy the risk of harm to the requesters, Treasury/Fiscal Service, the Federal Government, or national security.

Fiscal Service also slightly expanded the scope of SORN .003 (Claims and Inquiry Records on Treasury Checks, and International Claimants) to cover payments that will be made pursuant to the Guam World War II Loyalty Recognition Act, Public Law 114-328, Title XVII. This change is consistent with the purpose of the SORN and many other payments made pursuant to similar statutes and requirements.

In addition to the changes noted above, this notice updates some of the system of records notices, changes references in the systems of records notices, and makes other administrative changes to reflect the consolidation into the Fiscal Service, such as updating the procedures for gaining access to, or contesting the contents of, records in these systems of records.

This notice covers all systems of records adopted by the Fiscal Service as of February 27, 2020. The system notices are reprinted in their entirety following the Table of Contents.

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM:

Information in this system of records is collected and maintained about low to moderate income individuals, who are more likely to be unbanked or under-banked, and who could potentially receive federal tax refund payments.

notify prospective payment recipients about the benefits of electronic payments and the Treasury-recommended account options for the receipt of federal payments electronically.

The information will also be used to study the effectiveness of offering account options to individuals for the purpose of receiving federal payments. To study program efficacy, Fiscal Service may use its mailing list records to collect aggregate statistical information on the success and benefits of direct mail and the use of commercial database providers.

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM:

Information in this system of records is collected and maintained about individuals who electronically authorize payments to the Federal Government. The information contained in the records is maintained for the purpose of facilitating the collection and reporting of receipts from the public to the Federal Government and to minimize the financial risk to the Government and the public of unauthorized use of electronic payment methods. Examples of payment mechanisms authorized electronically include Automated Clearing House (ACH), check conversion, wire transfers, credit and debit cards, or stored value cards. Individuals may authorize payments using paper check conversion or internet-based systems through programs such as “Pay.gov” and “Electronic Federal Taxpayer Payment System” or directly through their financial institution. The information also is maintained to:

(a) Provide collections information to the federal agency collecting the public receipts;

(b) Authenticate the identity of individuals who electronically authorize payments to the Federal Government;

(c) Verify the payment history and eligibility of individuals to electronically authorize payments to the Federal Government;

(d) Provide statistical information on collections operations;

(e) Test and develop enhancements to the computer systems that contain the records; and

(f) Collect debts owed to the Federal Government from individuals when the debt arises from the unauthorized use of electronic payment methods.

Fiscal Service's use of the information contained in the records is necessary to process financial transactions while protecting the government and the public from financial risks that could be associated with electronic transactions. The records are collected and maintained to authenticate payers and their ability to pay, process payments through banking networks, and resolve after-the-fact accounting and reconciliation questions.

In addition, the information contained in the covered records will be used for other purposes related to the processing of financial transactions, such as collection of statistical information on operations, development of computer systems, investigation of unauthorized or fraudulent activity related to electronic transactions, and the collection of debts arising out of such activity.

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM:

Individuals who electronically authorize payments to the Federal Government through the use of communication networks, such as the internet, via means such as ACH, check conversion, wire transfer, credit/debit cards, and/or stored value card.

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:

Collections records containing information about individuals who electronically authorize payments to the Federal Government to the extent such records are covered by the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. The records may contain identifying information, such as: An individual's name(s), taxpayer identifying number (

i.e.,

Social Security number or employer identification number), home address, home telephone number, and email addresses (personal and work); an individual's employer's name, address, telephone number, and email address; an individual's date of birth and driver's license number; information about an individual's bank account(s) and other types of accounts from which payments

The records also may contain information about the governmental agency to which payment is made and information required by such agency as authorized or required by law.

The information contained in the records covered by Fiscal Service's system of records is necessary to process financial transactions while protecting the government and the public from financial risks that could be associated with electronic transactions.
