United States Department of 

Agriculture (USDA) 

Narrative Statement on Modifying a 

System of Records Under the Privacy 

Act of 1974: USDA/OCFO–10 

Purpose and Scope 

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 

(USDA) Office of the Chief Financial 

Officer (OCFO), Associate Chief 

Financial Officer for Shared Services, is 

modifying the system of records notice 

titled ‘‘Financial Systems, OCFO–10’’ 

(Financial Systems). This modification 

is in support of four new routine uses: 

One routine use between the USDA 

OCFO and the U.S. Department of the 

Treasury under the Do not Pay 

initiative; two mandatory routine uses 

to address breach notification as 

required by OMB M–17–12; and a 

general routine use to include 

contractors, grantees, etc. 

The primary goal of Financial 

Systems is to improve the Department’s 

financial performance by providing 

USDA with a modern, efficient core 

financial system that complies with all 

legislative and management mandates; 

integrates with existing and emerging egovernment initiatives; and provides 

support to the USDA mission. Financial 

Systems includes integration with the 

financial and administrative feeder 

systems, realignment of affected 

business processes, and clear 

communication to stakeholders. 

Financial Systems is capable of realtime transaction processing and 

updates, including immediate budget 

updating; users and managers have 

access to the most up-to-date 

information for an accurate view of 

available funds and greatly improved 

management information reporting. 

USDA became the owner and manager 

of a system formally owned and 

managed by the General Services 

Administration (GSA) called Pegasys 

Financial Services (Pegasys) in fiscal 

year 2016. Pegasys is a Federal financial 

management system. The consolidation 

of Pegasys (also known as GSA/PPFM– 

11) into Financial Systems will place all 

of the current electronic applications 

that OCFO uses into a single System of 

Records Notice. 

Pegasys is part of USDA/OCFO and 

operates a financial management line of 

business that serves the needs of Federal 

Government agencies. Pegasys supports 

all accounting functions related to 

accounts payable and accounts 

receivable; financial treatment of the 

acquiring and disposing of assets; and 

general accounting functions, such as 

performing/processing cost transfers, 

prior-year recovery sampling/validation, 

Financial Management Services 224 

reporting, standard general ledger 

reconciliations, journal entries, 

accounting reports, analysis of standard 

general ledger accounts, and external 

customers’ financial reporting. Pegasys 

is a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) 

package that is based on CGI Federal’s 

Momentum Financials, which is used in 

the processing of accounting 

transactions. 

Authority for Collecting, Maintaining, 

Using, and Disseminating Information 

in OCFO 

The authority for USDA to collect, 

maintain, use, and disseminate 

information through Financial Systems 

is the Chief Financial Officers Act of 

1990 (Pub. L. 101–576). 

The Routine Use Satisfies the 

Compatibility Requirement of the 

Privacy Act 

In addition to those disclosures 

generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 

552a(b) of the Privacy Act of 1974, all 

or a portion of the records or 

information contained in this system 

may be disclosed outside of USDA as a 

routine use under U.S.C. 552a(b)(3), as 

stated in the Notice and is summarized 

here for this modification. Financial 

Systems also includes the consolidation 

of GSA’s Pegasys, into Financial 

Systems. 

This modification includes a new 

routine use for the Do Not Pay initiative 

in compliance of Improper Payments, 

which is compatible with the following 

routine uses of this system of records of 

a financial management system: (1) The 

two required routine uses identified in 

OMB M–17–12 for notice and breach 

notification, which is compatible with 

the necessity of the government to deal 

with breaches; and (2) routine use for 

contractors, grantees, and etc., system 

support, which is compatible with the 

need of contractor support for Financial 

Systems. Pegasys data will not be used 

as a routine use for the Do Not Pay 

initiative; however, the other routine 

uses are compatible with the Pegasys 

system of records as a financial system. 

Probable or Potential Effects on the 

Privacy of Individuals 

Although there is some risk to the 

privacy of individuals, that risk is 

outweighed by the benefit of a proven 

financial management system. In 

addition, safeguards are in place by 

protecting against unauthorized 

disclosure. Records are accessible only 

to individuals who are authorized. 

Logical, physical, and electronic 

safeguards are employed to ensure 

security. Financial Systems and Pegasys 

have successfully attained ‘‘the 

authority to operate,’’ in the security 

assessment and authorization process, 

and have successfully attained risk 

assessments, which include security 

scanning and patching.
