RECOVERY ACCOUNTABILITY AND 

TRANSPARENCY BOARD 

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: Recovery Accountability and 

Transparency Board. 

ACTION: Notice of new Privacy Act 

systems of records. 

SUMMARY: The Recovery Accountability 

and Transparency Board (Board) 

proposes two new systems of records 

subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, as 

amended (Privacy Act or the Act), 

entitled ‘‘FederalReporting.gov Section 

1512 Data System’’ (1512 Data System) 

and ‘‘FederalReporting.gov Recipient 

Registration System’’ (FRRS). The 1512 

Data System will contain information on 

recipients of funding from the American 

Recovery and Reinvestment Act, Public 

Law 111–5 (Recovery Act). Under 

section 1512 of the Recovery Act, as 

well as implementing guidance 

promulgated by the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB), 

recipients are required to report certain 

data elements relating to their receipt of 

funds. The 1512 Data System will 

include data collected from recipients 

reporting data pursuant to the Recovery 

Act, and that data will then flow to and 

be posted publicly on the Web site 

Recovery.gov, which was also 

established by the Recovery Act. The 

FRRS will contain information on 

individuals who have registered and 

established accounts to access 

FederalReporting.gov, the Board’s Webbased inbound reporting system. The 

information maintained by the FRRS 

includes the first name, last name, 

phone number, extension, agency code 

(for individuals associated with a 

Federal agency), and DUNS number. 

This information is used to retrieve 

additional recipient organizational 

information from the Central Contractor 

Registry (CCR), Federal Procurement 

Data System (FPDS), and Dun and 

Bradstreet database systems. This 

information will be used to protect and 

manage access to the individual’s 

account on FederalReporting.gov. In this 

notice, the Board provides the required 

information on the systems of records.

and State and local fiscal stabilization. 

PURPOSE(S): 

FederalReporting.gov is the Board’s 

inbound Recovery reporting solution. 

Recipients of Recovery funds are 

required to disclose certain information, 

which must then be posted on the 

public-facing Web site, Recovery.gov. 

The purpose of collecting this 

information is to provide the public 

with information as to how the 

government spends money, and also to 

assist with the prevention of fraud, 

waste, and mismanagement of Recovery 

funds. 

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: 

1512 Data System records will be 

used to collect information about 

recipients’ use of Recovery funds, as 

well as to populate the public-facing 

Web site Recovery.gov. The records may 


sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES
40156 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 153 / Tuesday, August 11, 2009 / Notices 

also be used for auditing or other 

internal purpose of the Board, including 

but not limited to: investigation of 

possible fraud, waste, abuse, and 

mismanagement of Recovery funds; 

litigation purposes related to 

information reported to the Board; and 

contacting the recipient in the event of 

a system modification or change to 

FederalReporting.gov, including the 

data elements required to be reported. 

The Board may disclose information 

contained in a record in this system of 

records under the routine uses listed in 

this notice without the consent of the 

recipient if the disclosure is compatible 

with the purposes for which the record 

was collected. 

The general routine uses for the 

Board’s 1512 Data System records are 

listed as follows: 

A. As set forth above, and pursuant to 

the Recovery Act, 1512 Data System 

records will be used to collect 

information about recipients’ use of 

Recovery funds, as well as to populate 

the public-facing Web site Recovery.gov, 

where disclosure of the specified data 

elements will be made to the public. 

B. Information may be disclosed to 

the appropriate Federal, State, local, or 

Tribal agency responsible for 

investigating, prosecuting, enforcing, or 

implementing a statute, rule, regulation, 

or order, if the information is relevant 

to a violation or potential violation of 

civil or criminal law or regulation 

within the jurisdiction of the receiving 

entity. 

C. Disclosure may be made to a 

Federal, State, local, or Tribal or other 

public authority of the fact that this 

system of records contains information 

relevant to the retention of an employee, 

the retention of a security clearance, the 

letting of a contract, or the issuance of 

a license, grant, or other benefit. That 

entity, authority or licensing 

organization may then make a request 

supported by the written consent of the 

individual for the entire record if it so 

chooses. 

D. Information may be disclosed to a 

congressional office from the record of 

an individual in response to an inquiry 

from the congressional office made at 

the request of the individual. 

E. Information may be disclosed to the 

Department of Justice (DOJ), or in a 

proceeding before a court, adjudicative 

body, or other administrative body 

before which the Board is authorized to 

appear, when: 

1. The Board, or any component 

thereof; or 

2. Any employee of the Board in his 

or her official capacity; or 

3. Any employee of the Board in his 

or her individual capacity where the 

DOJ or the Board has agreed to represent 

the employee; or 

4. The United States, if the Board 

determines that litigation is likely to 

affect the Board or any of its 

components, is a party to litigation or 

has an interest in such litigation, and 

the use of such records by the DOJ or 

the Board is deemed by the Board 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. 

F. Information may be disclosed to the 

National Archives and Records 

Administration in records management 

inspections. 

G. Information may be disclosed to 

contractors, grantees, consultants, or 

volunteers performing or working on a 

contract, service, grant, cooperative 

agreement, job, or other activity for the 

Board and who have a need to have 

access to the information in the 

performance of their duties or activities 

for the Board. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, 

RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND

DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

STORAGE: 

The 1512 Data System records will be 

stored in digital format on a digital 

storage device. Long-term 1512 Data 

System records will be stored on 

magnetic tape format. All record storage 

procedures are in accordance with 

current applicable regulations. 

RETRIEVABILITY: 

Records are retrievable by database 

management systems software designed 

to retrieve recipient reporting elements 

based upon role-based user access 

privileges. 

SAFEGUARDS: 

The Board has minimized the risk of 

unauthorized access to the system by 

establishing a secure environment for 

exchanging electronic information. 

Physical access uses a defense in-depth 

approach restricting access at each layer 

closest to where the actual system 

resides. The entire complex is patrolled 

by security during non-business hours. 

Physical access to the data system 

housed within the facility is controlled 

by a computerized badge-reading 

system. Multiple levels of security are 

maintained via dual factor 

authentication for access using 

biometrics. The computer system offers 

a high degree of resistance to tampering 

and circumvention. This system limits 

data access to Board and contract staff 

on a need-to-know basis, and controls 

individuals’ ability to access and alter 

records within the system. All users of 

the system of records are given a unique 

user identification (ID) with personal 

identifiers. All interactions between the 

system and the authorized individual 

users are recorded. 

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: 

The Board will retain and dispose of 

these records in accordance with 

National Archives and Records 

Administration General Records 

Schedule 20, Item 1.c. This schedule 

provides disposal authorization for 

electronic files and hard copy printouts 

created to monitor system usage, 

including but not limited to log-in files, 

audit trail files, system usage files, and 

cost-back files used to access charges for 

system use. Records will be deleted or 

destroyed when the Board determines 

they are no longer needed for 

administrative, legal, audit, or other 

program purposes.

None. 


sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 153 / Tuesday, August 11, 2009 / Notices 40157 

SYSTEM LOCATION: 

The principal management entity for 

the FRRS system is the Recovery 

Accountability and Transparency Board, 

located at 1717 Pennsylvania Avenue, 

NW., Suite 700, Washington, DC 20006. 

The physical location for the system 

will be the CGI Phoenix Data Center, 

located at 10007 South 51st Street, 

Phoenix, AZ 85044. The system will be 

operated at this facility. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM: 

This system contains records on all 

individuals that have either attempted 

to register or have registered to obtain 

an account to use FederalReporting.gov 

to report recipient data elements related 

to Recovery funds. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

This system contains records 

including individual’s name, selfassigned user name and security 

question, work address and related 

contact information (e.g., phone and fax 

numbers, e-mail address), organizational 

point of contact, and related contact 

information. The individual registering 

for FederalReporting.gov will generate a 

self-assigned password that will be 

stored on the FRRS, but will only be 

accessible to the registering individual. 

The system will also store other systemgenerated data such as the registration 

date, time, and other identifiers for 

internal tracking. Upon assignment of 

the password and ID code, the user may 

subsequently access 

FederalReporting.gov by entering these 

data. 

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF SYSTEM: 

The Recovery Act was enacted on 

February 17, 2009, in order to make 

supplemental appropriations for job 

preservation and creation, infrastructure 

investment, energy efficiency and 

science, assistance to the unemployed, 

and State and local fiscal stabilization. 

PURPOSE(S): 

FederalReporting.gov is the Board’s 

inbound Recovery reporting solution. 

Recipients of Recovery funds are 

required to disclose certain information, 

which must then be posted on the 

public-facing Web site, Recovery.gov. 

The purpose of collecting this 

information is to provide the public 

with information as to how the 

government spends money, and also to 

assist with the prevention of fraud, 

waste, and mismanagement of Recovery 

funds. FRRS was developed to protect 

the Board and FederalReporting.gov 

users from individuals seeking to gain 

unauthorized access to user accounts on 

FederalReporting.gov. 

FederalReporting.gov is the sole source 

for reporting Recovery Act information. 

The information contained in records 

maintained in the FRRS is used for the 

purposes of verifying the identity of the 

individual, allowing individual users to 

establish an account on 

FederalReporting.gov, providing 

individual users access to their 

FederalReporting.gov account for 

reporting data, allowing individual 

users to customize, update or terminate 

their account with 

FederalReporting.gov, renewing or 

revoking an individual user’s account 

on FederalReporting.gov, supporting the 

FederalReporting.gov help desk 

functions, investigating possible fraud 

and verifying compliance with program 

regulations, and initiating legal action 

against an individual involved in 

program fraud, abuse, or 

noncompliance. The information is also 

used to provide authenticated protected 

access to FederalReporting.gov, thereby 

protecting FederalReporting.gov and 

FederalReporting.gov users from 

potential harm caused by individuals 

with malicious intentions gaining 

unauthorized access to the system. 

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: 

FRRS records will be used to facilitate 

registering FederalReporting.gov system 

users, issuing a username and password, 

and subsequently, verifying an 

individual’s identity as he/she seeks to 

gain routine access to his/her account. 

In some cases, the organizational point 

of contact has the ability to deny access 

or reporting privileges for the 

organization, based on the registration 

information provided by the user. The 

system has secondary uses that include: 

using the established username to 

facilitate tracking service calls or emails from the user in the event that 

there is a change in registration status or 

a problem the user has with 

FederalReporting.gov; facilitating the 

retrieval of user actions (e.g., historical 

submissions and help tickets) and 

events while on the 

FederalReporting.gov system. The 

records may also be subsequently used 

for auditing or other internal purpose of 

the Board, including but not limited to: 

Instances where enforcement of the 

conditions of using 

FederalReporting.gov are necessary; 

investigation of possible fraud involving 

a registered user; litigation purposes 

related to information reported to the 

Board; contacting the individual in the 

event of a system modification; a change 

to FederalReporting.gov; or 

modification, revocation or termination 

of user’s access privileges to 

FederalReporting.gov. 

The Board may disclose information 

contained in a record in this system of 

records under the routine uses listed in 

this notice without the consent of the 

individual if the disclosure is 

compatible with the purposes for which 

the record was collected. 

The general routine uses for the 

Board’s FRRS are listed as follows: 

A. Information may be disclosed to 

the appropriate Federal, State, local, or 

Tribal agency responsible for 

investigating, prosecuting, enforcing, or 

implementing a statute, rule, regulation, 

or order, if the information is relevant 

to a violation or potential violation of 

civil or criminal law or regulation 

within the jurisdiction of the receiving 

entity. 

B. Disclosure may be made to a 

Federal, State, local, or Tribal or other 

public authority of the fact that this 

system of records contains information 

relevant to the retention of an employee, 

the retention of a security clearance, the 

letting of a contract, or the issuance of 

a license, grant, or other benefit. That 

entity, authority or licensing 

organization may then make a request 

supported by the written consent of the 

individual for the entire record if it so 

chooses. 

C. Information may be disclosed to a 

congressional office from the record of 

an individual in response to an inquiry 

from the congressional office made at 

the request of the individual. 

D. Information may be disclosed to 

the Department of Justice (DOJ), or in a 

proceeding before a court, adjudicative 

body, or other administrative body 

before which the Board is authorized to 

appear, when: 

1. The Board, or any component 

thereof; or 

2. Any employee of the Board in his 

or her official capacity; or 

3. Any employee of the Board in his 

or her individual capacity where the 

DOJ or the Board has agreed to represent 

the employee; or 

4. The United States, if the Board 

determines that litigation is likely to 

affect the Board or any of its 

components, is a party to litigation or 

has an interest in such litigation, and 

the use of such records by the DOJ or 

the Board is deemed by the Board 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. 

E. Information may be disclosed to the
