SUMMARY: In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (Privacy Act), the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) gives notice of the proposed establishment of three new Privacy Act systems of records and the removal of four existing Privacy Act systems of records.
The three proposed new systems are: "Emergency Notification System" (FHFA-14); "Payroll, Retirement, Time and Attendance, and Leave Records" (FHFA-15); and "Personnel Investigative Records" (FHFA-16). The proposed new systems will replace systems of records issued by FHFA’s predecessor agencies, the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) and the Federal Housing Finance Board (FHFB). Proposed systems (FHFA-14) and (FHFA-15) will replace OFHEO systems "OFHEO-2 Pay and Leave System" and "OFHEO-6 Emergency Contingency Plan and Personnel Locator System," and FHFB system "FHFB-1 Employee Attendance Records." Proposed system (FHFA-16) will replace FHFB system "FHFB-5 Personnel Investigative Records."
FHFA has previously published a system of records notice ("Financial Management System" (FHFA-2), 74 FR 31949 (July 6, 2009)); however, in publishing that notice, FHFA did not explicitly state that OFHEO and FHFB system of records notices were being replaced. Notice is hereby given that the systems of records notice "OFHEO-1 Financial Management System" and "FHFB-2 General Travel and Transportation Files" have been replaced by "Financial Management System" (FHFA-2). Upon the effective date of this notice, the replaced OFHEO system, "OFHEO-1" published at 63 FR 9007 (February 23, 1998) and "FHFB-2" as amended at 71 FR 61053 (October 17, 2006) will be removed.
In addition, upon the effective date of this notice, the replaced FHFB systems, "FHFB-1" published at 60 FR 46120 (September 5, 1995), as amended at 62 FR 66865 (December 22, 1997) and 71 FR 61052 (October 17, 2006), and "FHFB-5" (originally published as "FHFB-7 Agency Personnel Investigative Records" at 60 FR 46120 (September 5, 1995)), as amended at 64 FR 14920 (March 29, 1999), 68 FR 39947 (July 3, 2003), and 71 FR 61052 (October 17, 2006); and the replaced OFHEO systems, "OFHEO-2" published at 63 FR 9007 (February 23, 1998), and "OFHEO-6" published at 71 FR 6085 (February 6, 2006) will be removed.
DATES: The addition of these new systems of records will become effective February 14, 2012 without further notice unless comments necessitate otherwise. FHFA will publish a new notice if the effective date is delayed in order to review comments or if changes are made based on comments received. To be assured of consideration, comments must be received on or before February 6, 2012.
