System (QMIS) System of Records

AGENCY: Office of the Departmental Chief Information Officer, Office of 
the Secretary of Transportation, DOT.

ACTION: Rescindment of a System of Records Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of 
Transportation is proposing to retire a Department of Transportation 
system of records titled, `Department of Transportation/Federal 
Aviation Administration (DOT/FAA) 833 Quarters Management Information 
System (QMIS) System of Records,' which covered employees occupying FAA 
owned or leased housing. The FAA uses the DOI iQMS to support business 
activities formerly managed in QMIS. See (https://www.doi.gov/sites/doi.gov/files/uploads/iqmis_pia_final_06.13.2018.pdf). iQMIS is not a 
system of records because records cannot be retrieved by an 
individual's name or other unique identifier. Users retrieve records by 
housing installation name and housing unit number. Rent collected from 
the employee/tenant through payroll deduction actions are processed 
through the DOI's Federal

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 
5 U.S.C. 552a, the Department of Transportation (DOT)/Federal Aviation 
Administration (FAA) proposes to retire DOT system of records titled, 
``Department of Transportation/Federal Aviation Administration (DOT/
FAA) 833 Quarters Management Information System.'' Covered individuals 
in the system of records were; employees occupying FAA owned or leased 
housing and employees and agencies that lease FAA housing in Alaska. 
Records were used to establish regional rental rates for quarters; 
maintain status of housing; and maintain up-to-date list of persons. 
Additionally, records were used to establish and terminate payroll 
deductions for collection of housing occupying FAA units rent through 
request to the appropriate payroll office. Records for this system were 
destroyed in accordance with GRS 15, Housing Records. Records from the 
FAA's QMIS were not transferred to DOI. Eliminating this system of 
records notice will have no adverse impact on individuals, but will 
promote the overall streamlining and management of DOT Privacy Act 
systems of records.
    System Name and Number: Department of Transportation (DOT/FAA) 833 
Quarters Management Information System.
    History: The full notice was published in the Federal Register on 
April 11, 2000 (65 FR 19525).

    Issued in Washington, DC, on December 20, 2018.

Departmental Chief Privacy Officer.
