Small Business Administration.

# ACTION:

Notice of revision of Agency's System of Records pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act and to open comment period.

# SUMMARY:

This notice provides for review and comment on a major revision of the Agency's Privacy Act Systems of Records. Four of the former Systems have been eliminated and four new Systems have been developed. The numbers of all of the Systems have also been changed. All Systems now include electronic formats and access and a new routine use which allows for disclosure to Agency volunteers, interns, experts and contractors when necessary for their official duties. The title of System 8 has been changed to Correspondence and Inquires, and there is a new category of records for System 14, Freedom of Information and Privacy Act Records. The title of System 21 has been changed to the Loan System and a new routine use, (j), for the system is included.

# DATES:

Written comments on the System of Records must be received on or before October 29, 2004. The notice shall be effective as proposed with or without further publication at the end of the comment period, unless comments are received which would require contrary determination.

# ADDRESSES:

Written comments on the System of Records should be directed to Lisa J. Babcock, Chief, Freedom of Information/Privacy Acts Office, U. S. Small Business Administration, 409 3rd Street, SW., Washington, DC 20416.

# FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Lisa J. Babcock, Chief, Freedom of Information/Privacy Acts Office, (202) 401-8203.

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

                        This publication is in accordance with the Privacy Act stipulation that Agencies publish their Systems of Records in the                         **Federal Register**                         when there is a revision, change or addition.                    

## Altered Systems of Records; Narrative Statement; U.S. Small Business Administration, Privacy Act System of Records SBA 14, Freedom of Information and Privacy Act Records; Addition of a New Category of Records 

## A. Narrative Statement 

1. The purpose of adding a new category of records to Privacy Act System of Records 14 is to include the Agency's FOI/PA Tracking System that will be used to record and monitor all FOI/PA requests, appeals and inquiries. The Tracking System will be accessed by the FOI/PA Office and their designated contacts in each SBA program and field office. The FOI/PA contacts will have access only to data pertaining to the FOI/PA cases assigned to their office. The FOI/PA Office will have access to all data in the Tracking System. 

2. Refer to the following citations: 5 U.S.C. 301, 44 U.S.C. 3101, 15 U.S.C. 634(b)6. 

3. The effect on the individual FOI/PA requester and appellant will be minimal. The information contained in the FOI/PA files will be viewed only by Agency personnel, contractors, experts, consultants or volunteers in the line of their official duties. These individuals must comply with the requirements of the PA of 1974, as amended, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(m). 

4. Access and use of FOI/PA files is limited to specified individuals who have a need to know to accomplish their duties. The FOI/PA Tracking System will be accessed via restricted passwords and user identifications. 

5. The new proposed category of records use satisfies the compatibility requirement of subsection (a)(4) of the Act as the FOI/PA Tracking System is a “collection, or grouping of information about an individual that is maintained by an agency” and “contains his name, or the identifying number, symbol, or other identifying particular assigned to the individual.” 

6. This is an internal information collection. The Agency deems the OMB approved information collection requirements unnecessary.

## Altered Systems of Records; Narrative Statement; U.S. Small Business Administration, Privacy Act System of Records SBA 21, Loan System; Change of System Name and the Addition of a New Routine Use 

## B. Narrative Statement 

1. The name of the former Privacy Act System of Records 21, Loan Monitoring System is changed to the Loan System. The purpose of adding a new routine use to Privacy Act System of Records 21 is to allow for the disclosure of records from this System to 7(a) and 504 lenders and/or participating contractors for purposes of the Agency's Loan and Lender Monitoring System. 

                        2. Refer to the following citations: Public Law 85-536, 15 U.S.C. 631*et seq.*                         (Small Business Act, all provisions relating to loan programs); 44 U.S.C. 3101 (Records Management by Federal Agencies); and Public Law 103-62 (Government Performance and Results Act).                     

3. The effect on the individual is minimal because the information collected is already being collected by the Department of Treasury Financial Management Service, by the SBA under previously approved manual form and by the SBA's previously established and published Privacy Act System or Records 170, Loan Monitoring System. The information contained in the System will be viewed only by Agency personnel, participating contractors and lenders in the line of their official duties. All of these individuals must comply with the requirements of the PA of 1974, as amended, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(m). 

4. Access and use of Lender System records is limited to Agency officials acting in their official capacities, with a need-to-know, and to SBA Resource Partners and participating contractors. Access and use by SBA Resource Partners and participating contractors will generally be via the Internet, with restricted password(s)/passcode(s). 

5. The new proposed routine use satisfies the compatibility requirement of subsection (a)(7) of the Act as follows: 

The proposed routine use allows disclosure to 7(a) and 504 lenders and/or participating contractors for purposes of the Loan and Lender Monitoring system (L/LMS). SBA needs to share relevant information with SBA lenders and contractors so that those entities can assist SBA in decisions regarding the making and servicing of business (non-disaster) loans. The information is collected by SBA to assist in its decisions regarding the making and servicing of loans. 

6. OMB approved SBA 3245-0016—Application for Business Loans (SBA Form 4, Schedule A, Form 4-1, Form 4L) on 11/7/2001.
