FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Bryan Saddler, Chief Counsel, Office of 

the Special Inspector General for the 

Troubled Asset Relief Program, 1801 L 

Street, NW., Washington, DC 20036, 

(202) 927–8938. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Emergency Economic Stabilization Act 

of 2008 (Act), Public Law 110–343, 

established the Troubled Asset Relief 

Program, and, at section 121, created the 

Special Inspector General for the 

Troubled Asset Relief Program 

(SIGTARP). SIGTARP is responsible for 

coordinating and conducting audits and 

investigations of any program 

established by the Secretary under the 

Act. SIGTARP’s duties and operating 

authority are set forth at section 121 of 

the Act, and in the Inspector General 

Act of 1978, 5 U.S.C. App. 3. SIGTARP 

exercises all duties and responsibilities 

of an Inspector General with respect to 

the purchase, management, and sale of 

assets by the Secretary of the Treasury 

under any program established by the 

Secretary under section 101 of the Act, 

and the management by the Secretary of 

any program established under section 

102. To facilitate SIGTARP’s audits, 

investigations, and other operations, it 

plans to create the following systems of 

records: 

Treasury/DO. .220—SIGTARP 

Hotline Database. 

Treasury/DO. .221—SIGTARP 

Correspondence Database. 

Treasury/DO. .222—SIGTARP 

Investigative MIS Database. 

Treasury/DO. .223—SIGTARP 

Investigative Files Database. 

Treasury/DO. .224—SIGTARP Audit 

Files Database. 

In the notice of proposed rulemaking, 

which is published separately in the 

Federal Register, SIGTARP is proposing 

to exempt records maintained in several 

systems from certain of the Privacy 

Act’s requirements pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 

552a(j)(2) and (k)(2). 

The report of a new system of records, 

as required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) of the 

Privacy Act, has been submitted to the 

Committee on Oversight and 

Government Reform of the House of 

Representatives, the Committee on 

Homeland Security and Governmental 

Affairs of the Senate, and the Office of 

Management and Budget, pursuant to 

Appendix I to OMB Circular A–130, 

‘‘Federal Agency Responsibilities for 

Maintaining Records About 

Individuals,’’ dated November 30, 2000. 

Sections 552a(e)(4) and (11) of title 5, 

United States Code, provide that an 

agency publish a notice of the 

establishment or revision of a record 

system which affords the public a 30- 

day period in which to submit 

comments. To meet this requirement, 

descriptions of the five new systems of 

records are published in their entirety 

below.
