7EMA suggests that a severe inducement would 

reduce the engine to 60% of the rated speed and 

50% rated torque.

carry payload, which is one of the 

primary functions of the majority of 

construction machines. Lastly, 

construction machines must operate in 

a variety of conditions and operate often 

on steep slopes. Equipment with 1:1 

DEF tanks of the correct design creates 

a lower risk of losing DEF fluid suction 

pickup when operating on extreme tilt 

as compared to larger tanks. 

In order to fulfill the obligation to 

demonstrate that the maintenance will 

be done at the recommended interval on 

in-use engines, requestors noted that 

manufacturers will deploy warnings and 

inducements should the DEF level 

become too low. In addition to these 

initial inducements, should the operator 

ignore them, then the requestors noted 

that manufacturers will employ ‘‘severe 

inducement’’ intended to disable the 

functionality of the engine or 

equipment.7

Furthermore, EPA notes that several 

current SCR systems include the final 

inducement of either having the engine 

shut down or idle only (with no power) 

when no DEF is present in the DEF tank 

(or the system is no longer able to dose 

with DEF), and such SCR systems meet 

EPA’s expectations of what is required 

for nonroad SCR systems.8 As an 

example, one manufacturer noted that 

‘‘To provide the necessary assurance 

that the DEF tank will be refilled, each 

vehicle will be equipped with a 

constant viewable DEF level indicator 

included in the vehicle dashboard 

display. * * * the operator display 

system includes a visible warning signal 

that indicates when the level of DEF in 

the tank is low and will need refilling. 

As a final inducement, the system also 

includes programmed engine derates 

that limit engine performance once the 

DEF level drops below certain levels, 

thereby limiting vehicle performance.’’ 

EMA, in its request, noted that should 

operators fail to notice audible or visible 

warning signals indicating low DEF, 

then the manufacturers may also use a 

reduction in engine power or equipment 

utility to provide more dramatic notice 

that the DEF tank needs refilling. This 

‘‘severe inducement’’ is intended to 

disable the functionality of the engine or 

equipment, and to substantially limit 

the likelihood that the engine or 

equipment could perform any useful 

work, but is not intended to prohibit the 

engine or equipment’s mobility or 

ability to idle. EMA also notes that it 

expects EPA to provide guidance on an 

appropriate final inducement once the 

SCR system runs out of DEF. 

III. Discussion 

EPA believes that SCR systems are a 

new technology and are properly 

considered a critical emission-related 

component since their primary purpose 

is to control emissions. In addition, the 

replenishment of DEF as part of 

maintaining the SCR system’s 

functionality is considered to be critical 

emission-related maintenance under 

1039.125(a). 

EPA believes it appropriate to 

evaluate the DEF refill rates by taking 

into consideration the space and weight 

constraints typically involved with the 

range of NRCI engines using SCR 

systems, including safety and impacts of 

weight and dosing rates on greenhouse 

gas emissions and fuel efficiency. EPA 

believes it must also take into 

consideration the likelihood that the 

maintenance of DEF refills will be 

performed by the owner or operator.9

In our 2009 Federal Register notice 

regarding heavy-duty on-highway 

engines and vehicles using SCR 

systems, we concluded that the 

requested intervals were appropriate 

because we determined that 

manufacturer-recommended DEF refill 

intervals approximated the maximum 

feasible maintenance intervals 

associated with reasonable DEF tank 

sizes. We also concluded that the 

maintenance intervals recommended 

ensure that the functions and 

operational efficiency of such vehicles 

are not overly compromised.10 EPA 

knows of no SCR technology for NRCI 

engines that is yet capable of attaining 

longer operation (generally beyond one 

tank full of diesel) without a DEF refill. 

As noted by the requests, there are 

significant space and weight constraints 

associated with increasing the DEF tank 

size in order to accommodate a 2:1 refill 

ratio. EPA believes it appropriate to take 

into consideration the need for locating 

the DEF tank in close proximity to the 

fuel tank and the remainder of the SCR 

system, as well as the increased 

likelihood that the DEF tank will be 

refilled if it becomes standard operating 

practice to refill the DEF tank at the 

same time as the fuel tank. EPA believes 

that such nonroad equipment is similar 

to centrally-fueled heavy-duty onhighway vehicles and that there is a 

sufficient basis and a reasonable 

expectation that DEF tank refills will 

occur on a timely basis. 

EPA notes that the regulations allow 

any manufacturer to petition EPA under 

the ‘‘paragraph (a)(5) process’’ for a new 

maintenance interval for a particular 

engine family or application than that 

approved for the industry if the 

manufacturer can show that a certain 

interval is the appropriate maintenance 

interval for the particular engine 

configuration being certified. 

EPA also notes that all critical 

emission-related maintenance must 

have a reasonable likelihood of being 

done at the recommended intervals on 

in-use engines. Paragraph 1039.125(a)(1) 

sets forth several methods by which 

such demonstration can be made, 

including data showing that if a lack of 

maintenance increases emissions, it also 

unacceptably degrades the engine’s 

performance. In the context of SCR 

systems and the potential of an empty 

DEF tank and an inoperable SCR 

system, EPA notes that equipment 

under such operating conditions are 

expected to shut down or idle only. 

Engine manufacturers employing such 

final inducements meet the 

requirements of (a)(1) and furthermore 

meet the requirement under (a)(5) for 

DEF refill intervals based on a 1:1 ratio. 

For the reasons set forth above, EPA 

approves a new scheduled maintenance 

interval for DEF refill that shall be no 

less than the equipment’s fuel capacity 

(i.e., a 1:1 ratio of DEF refill to fuel 

refill) for 2011 and later model year 

nonroad engines. 

IV. Procedures for Objections 

Anyone may request a hearing on this 

determination. The request must be in 

writing and include a description of 

your objection and any supporting data. 

The request must be made by February 

6, 2012. If, after review of any objection 

and supporting data, we find that the 

request raises a substantial factual issue, 

we will hold a hearing in accordance 

with 40 CFR Part 1068 Subpart G.

ACTION: Notice of the establishment of 

new systems of records and removal of 

existing systems of records. 

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.

II. Introduction 

This notice satisfies the Privacy Act 

requirement that an agency publish a 

system of records notice in the Federal 

Register when there is an addition to 

the agency’s system of records. Congress 

has recognized that application of all 

requirements of the Privacy Act to 

certain categories of records may have 

an undesirable and often unacceptable 

effect upon agencies in the conduct of 

necessary public business. 

Consequently, Congress established 

general exemptions and specific 

exemptions that could be used to 

exempt records from provisions of the 

Privacy Act. Congress also required that 

exempting records from provisions of 

the Privacy Act would require the head 

of an agency to publish a determination 

to exempt a record from the Privacy Act 

as a rule in accordance with the 

Administrative Procedure Act. The 

Director of FHFA has determined that 

records and information in these three 

new systems of records are not exempt 

from the requirements of the Privacy 

Act. 

As required by the Privacy Act, 5 

U.S.C. 552a(r), and pursuant to 

paragraph 4c of Appendix I to OMB 

Circular No. A–130, ‘‘Federal Agency 

Responsibilities for Maintaining 

Records About Individuals,’’ dated 

February 8, 1996 (61 FR 6427, 6435 

February 20, 1996), FHFA has submitted 

a report describing the three new 

systems of records covered by this 

notice to the Committee on Oversight 

and Government Reform of the House of 

Representatives, the Committee on 


emcdonald on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 3 / Thursday, January 5, 2012 / Notices 501 

Homeland Security and Governmental 

Affairs of the Senate, and the Office of 

Management and Budget. 

III. Proposed Systems of Records 

The first proposed system is 

‘‘Emergency Notification System’’ 

(FHFA–14). The proposed system will 

contain records related to FHFA 

employees and contractor personnel 

who provide emergency contact 

information, including personal phone 

numbers, home and email addresses, 

and names and contact information of 

emergency points of contact. This 

proposed system of records will replace 

the system of records issued by FHFA’s 

predecessor agency OFHEO. The 

replaced OFHEO system, ‘‘OFHEO–6 

Emergency Contingency Plan and 

Personnel Locator System’’ was 

published at 71 FR 6085 (February 6, 

2006). 

The second proposed system is 

‘‘Payroll, Retirement, Time and 

Attendance, and Leave Records’’ 

(FHFA–15). The proposed system will 

contain records of individual’s name; 

home address; telephone numbers; 

Social Security number; organization 

code; pay rate; salary; grade; length of 

service; pay and leave records; source 

documents for posting time and leave 

attendance; and deductions for 

Medicare; Old-Age, Survivors, and 

Disability Insurance (also known as 

Social Security); bonds; Federal 

Employee Group Life Insurance; union 

dues; taxes; allotments; retirement; 

charities; Federal Government and 

commercial health benefits; Flexible 

Spending Account; Long Term Care 

Insurance; Thrift Savings Plan 

contributions; 401k plan contributions; 

awards; shift schedules; pay differential; 

tax lien data; wage garnishments; and 

any other information pertaining to 

payroll, retirement, time and 

attendance, and leave. This proposed 

system of records will replace the 

systems of records issued by FHFA’s 

predecessor agencies, FHFB and 

OFHEO. The replaced FHFB system 

‘‘FHFB–1 Employee Attendance 

Records’’ was published at 60 FR 46120 

(September 5, 1995), as amended at 62 

FR 66865 (December 22, 1997), and at 

71 FR 61052 (October 17, 2006), and the 

OFHEO system, ‘‘OFHEO–2 Pay and 

Leave System,’’ was published at 63 FR 

9007 (February 23, 1998). 

The third proposed system is 

‘‘Personnel Investigative Records’’ 

(FHFA–16). The proposed system will 

contain individual’s name; date of birth; 

current and former home addresses; 

work histories; education and financial 

information; Social Security number; 

information about family members; 

information about references; types and 

dates of investigations; investigative 

reports; dates, levels and types of 

clearances; and other information 

pertinent to granting or denying a 

security clearance or making a 

suitability determination. This proposed 

system of records will replace the 

system of records issued by FHFA’s 

predecessor agency FHFB. The replaced 

FHFB system, ‘‘FHFB–5 Personnel 

Investigative Records,’’ was originally 

published at 60 FR 46120 (September 5, 

1995—originally published as ‘‘FHFB–7 

Agency Personnel Investigative 

Records’’), as amended at 62 FR 66865 

(December 22, 1997), 68 FR 39947 (July 

3, 2003), and 71 FR 61052 (October 17, 

2006). 

The three proposed new systems and 

the routine uses for each are set out in 

their entirety and described in detail 

below. 

FHFA–14 

SYSTEM NAME: 

Emergency Notification System. 

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: 

Sensitive but unclassified. 

SYSTEM LOCATIONS: 

Federal Housing Finance Agency, 

1700 G Street NW., Washington, DC 

20552; 1625 Eye Street NW., 

Washington, DC 20006; 1750 

Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington, 

DC 20006; and any alternate work site 

utilized by employees of the Federal 

Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) or by 

individuals assisting such employees. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM: 

This system contains records on 

current and former employees, 

detailees, interns, fellows, volunteers, 

persons who work at FHFA under the 

Intergovernmental Personnel Act, and 

current and former contractor 

personnel. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

The records in the system contain the 

individual’s name, division, office, 

home, work and personal electronic 

mail addresses, work, home and cellular 

telephone numbers, Blackberry PIN and 

telephone numbers, and other 

emergency contact information. 

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

5 U.S.C. 301 and Executive Order 

12656, Assignment of Emergency 

Preparedness Responsibilities, dated 

November 18, 1988. 

PURPOSE(S): 

The purpose of the system of records 

is to maintain emergency contact 

information for employees and 

contractor personnel. The system 

provides for high-speed message 

delivery that reaches employees and 

contractor personnel in response to 

threat alerts issued by the Department of 

Homeland Security, weather related 

emergencies, or other critical situations 

that disrupt the operations and 

accessibility of a worksite. The system 

also provides for personnel 

accountability during an emergency, 

through personnel sign-in and rapid 

alert and notification. 

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

THE PURPOSE OF SUCH USES: 

In addition to those disclosures 

generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 

552a(b) of the Privacy Act, all or a 

portion of the records or information 

contained in this system may be 

disclosed outside FHFA as a routine use 

as follows: 

(1) When (a) it is suspected or 

confirmed that the security or 

confidentiality of information in the 

system of records has been 

compromised; (b) FHFA has determined 

that as a result of the suspected or 

confirmed compromise there is a risk of 

harm to economic or property interests, 

identity theft or fraud, or harm to the 

security or integrity of this system or 

other systems or programs (whether 

maintained by FHFA or another agency 

or entity) that rely upon the 

compromised information; and (c) the 

disclosure is made to such agencies, 

entities, and persons who are reasonably 

necessary to assist in connection with 

FHFA’s efforts to respond to the 

suspected or confirmed compromise 

and prevent, minimize, or remedy such 

harm. 

(2) Where there is an indication of a 

violation or potential violation of law, 

whether civil, criminal or regulatory in 

nature, and whether arising by general 

statute or particular program statute, or 

by regulation, rule or order issued 

pursuant thereto, the relevant records in 

the system of records may be referred, 

as a routine use, to the appropriate 

agency, whether federal, state, local, 

foreign or a financial regulatory 

organization charged with the 

responsibility of investigating or 

prosecuting such violation or charged 

with enforcing or implementing the 

statute, or rule, regulation or order 

issued pursuant thereto. 

(3) To any individual during the 

course of any inquiry or investigation 

conducted by FHFA, or in connection 

with civil or criminal litigation, if FHFA 

has reason to believe that the individual 

to whom the record is disclosed may 


emcdonald on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
502 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 3 / Thursday, January 5, 2012 / Notices 

have further information about the 

matters related therein, and those 

matters appeared to be relevant at the 

time to the subject matter of the inquiry. 

(4) To any individual with whom 

FHFA contracts to reproduce, by typing, 

photocopy or other means, any record 

within this system for use by FHFA and 

its employees in connection with their 

official duties or to any individual who 

is utilized by FHFA to perform clerical 

or stenographic functions relating to the 

official business of FHFA. 

(5) To members of advisory 

committees that are created by FHFA or 

by Congress to render advice and 

recommendations to FHFA or to 

Congress, to be used solely in 

connection with their official, 

designated functions. 

(6) To a court, magistrate, or other 

administrative body in the course of 

presenting evidence, including 

disclosures to counsel or witnesses in 

the course of civil discovery, litigation, 

or settlement negotiations, or in 

connection with criminal proceedings, 

when FHFA is a party to the proceeding 

or has a significant interest in the 

proceeding, to the extent that the 

information is determined to be relevant 

and necessary. 

(7) To the Department of Justice when 

(a) FHFA, or any component thereof; or 

(b) any employee of FHFA in his or her 

official capacity; or (c) any employee of 

the agency in his or her individual 

capacity where the Department of 

Justice or FHFA has agreed to represent 

the employee; or (d) the United States, 

where FHFA determines that litigation 

is likely to affect FHFA or any of its 

components, is a party to the litigation 

or has an interest in such litigation, and 

the use of such records by the 

Department of Justice or FHFA is 

deemed by FHFA to be relevant and 

necessary to the litigation provided, 

however, that in each case it has been 

determined that the disclosure is 

compatible with the purpose for which 

the records were collected. 

(8) To a Member of Congress, to a 

Congressional staff member or to a 

Congressional Committee in response to 

an inquiry from the Member of 

Congress, the Congressional staff 

member or Congressional Committee 

made at the written request of the 

individual about whom the record is
