DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Office of the Secretary 

Privacy Act of 1974; Revision of 

Systems of Records 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice to amend Privacy Act 

Systems of Records. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Privacy Act (5 

U.S.C. 552a), notice is hereby given that 

the United States Department of 

Agriculture (USDA) proposes to amend 

the Privacy Act System of Records 

FCIC–8, entitled ‘‘List of Ineligible 

Producers’’. The system of records is 

maintained by the Risk Management 

Agency (RMA), an agency of USDA, 

which administers programs of the 

Federal Crop Insurance Corporation 

(FCIC), a wholly-owned Government 

corporation. The list of ineligible 

producers system of records is being 

revised to reflect changes in the 

administration and management of the 

Federally reinsured plan of insurance 

contractors and to reflect more 

completely the types of information 

collected and maintained in this system 

of records. The primary purpose of the 

system of records is to aid private 

insurance companies in identifying 

ineligible persons and to reduce fraud 

and misuse of Federal funds. Private 

insurance companies operate under a 

reinsurance agreement with FCIC to 

deliver programs in accordance with 

policy and procedure issued by RMA. 

The reinsurance agreement is 

authorized by the Federal Crop 

Insurance Act and regulations of FCIC 

published at 7 CFR chapter IV. 

Additionally, 7 CFR part 400, subpart Q, 

provides general administrative 

regulations for Social Security Number 

(SSN) and Employer Identification 

Number (EIN) collection, storage, use 

and confidentiality to all holders of crop 

insurance policies sold by insurance 

providers, their contractors and 

subcontractors, including past and 

present officers and employees of such 

companies, their contractors and 

subcontractors. 

DATES: Effective Date: This notice will 

be effective without further publication 

on February 5, 2007, unless modified by 

a subsequent notice to incorporate 

comments received from the public. 

Although the Privacy Act requires only 

that the portion of the system that 

describes the ‘‘routine uses’’ of the 

system be published for comment, 

USDA invites comment on all portions 

of this notice. Comments must be 

received by the contact person listed 

below on or before February 5, 2007. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Chief, Underwriting Standards Branch, 

Risk Management Agency, Federal Crop 

Insurance Corporation, 6501 Beacon 

Drive, Stop 0812, Kansas City, MO 

64133–4676, telephone (816) 926–7861. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: RMA is 

responsible for implementation and 

maintenance of a list of ineligible 

persons. This list is maintained in the 

RMA Ineligible Tracking System (ITS). 

The ITS contains records of individuals 

and legal entities who are ineligible to 

participate in programs administered by 

RMA under the Federal Crop Insurance 

Act (Act) due to delinquent debt, 

disqualification under section 506(n) of 

the Act, violation of the controlled 

substance provisions of the Food 

Security Act of 1985, as amended, and 

persons having a substantial beneficial 

interest in an ineligible legal entity. 

Private insurance companies, reinsured 

by FCIC in accordance with the 

reinsurance agreement with FCIC and 

regulations of FCIC published at 7 CFR 

chapter IV, part 400, subpart U, submit 

delinquent debt records to RMA for 

inclusion into the ITS. RMA inputs 

records into ITS related to 

disqualification, suspension, debarment, 

controlled substance violations and debt 

due FCIC. RMA is responsible for 

consolidating and updating the ITS and 

providing notification to private 

insurance companies and other Federal 

agencies to prevent ineligible persons 

from receiving Federal benefits. 

Major revisions and the reasons for 

change to this system of records are as 

follows. The system location is revised 

to show the current location of records 

at the Kansas City Office. The categories 

of individuals covered by the system are 

revised to reflect person included in the 

system. The categories of records in the 

system are revised to reflect current 

information stored within the system. 

The routine uses of records maintained 

in the system are revised to (a) delete 

routine use number (2) because it is not 

applicable to the system of records; (b) 

renumber routine use number (3) to (2) 

and to permit disclosure to any judicial 

or administrative tribunal if the record 

sought is relevant; (c) renumber routine 

use number (4) to (3); (d) delete routine 

use number (5) because it is no longer 

applicable; (e) renumber routine use 

number (6) to (4) and revise to reflect 

that information will be provided to 

private insurance companies reinsured 

by FCIC to preclude producers from 

switching private insurance companies 

in order to circumvent ineligibility; (f) 

add routine use (5) to permit disclosure 

of information to Federal agencies to 

prevent ineligible producers from 

erroneously receiving government loans 

and other benefits; (g) add routine use 

(6) to permit disclosure to contractors 

and Federal agencies to deter fraud, 

waste and abuse by conducting analysis 

to identify ineligible producers 

potentially circumventing the ineligible 

process; (h) add routine use (7) to 

permit information to be disclosed for 

use in the administration and evaluation 

of this system of records as it relates to 

Federally reinsured plans of insurance 

administered by RMA under the 

authority of the Act, (i) add routine use 

(8) to permit information to be provided 

to the Department of the Treasury for 

collection of outstanding debt, and (j) 

add routine use (9) to permit 

information to be provided to the 

Department of Justice to represent the 

United States Government in litigation 

when the use of the information is 

compatible with the purposes of the 

Act. The provisions related to storage, 

retrievability and safeguards are 

updated to reflect current practices. The 

system manager and address have been 

updated to show the current location of 

records. The notification procedure, 

records access procedures, contesting 

record procedures, and record source 

categories have also been updated to 

document current procedures. 

In conformance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), 

as implemented by OMB Circular A– 

130, USDA sent a report describing the 

proposed changes to the Chairman,

agency, whether Federal, State, local or 

foreign, charged with the responsibility 

of investigating or prosecuting a 

violation of law, or of enforcing or 

implementing a statute, rule, regulation 

or order issued pursuant thereto, of any 

record within this system when

whether civil, criminal, or regulatory in 

nature, and whether arising by general 

statute or particular program statute or 

by rule, regulation or order issued 

pursuant thereto. 

(2) Disclosure to a court, magistrate or 

administrative tribunal, or to opposing 

counsel in a proceeding before a court, 

magistrate, or administrative tribunal, of

discovery, to the extent that FCIC 

determines that the records sought are 

relevant to the proceeding. 

(3) Disclosure may be made to a 

congressional office from the record of 

an individual or legal entity in response 

to an inquiry from the congressional 

office made at the request of that 

individual or legal entity. 

(4) Disclosure to private insurance 

companies under a reinsurance 

agreement with FCIC to deliver 

programs in accordance with policy and 

procedure issued by RMA to assist in 

determining eligibility for participation 

in the Federal insurance program under 

the authority of the Federal Crop 

Insurance Act and regulations of FCIC 

published at 7 CFR part 400, subpart U. 

Private insurance companies must 

adhere to 7 CFR part 400, subpart Q 

general administrative regulations for 

SSN and EIN collection, storage, use

insurance policies sold by insurance 

providers, their contractors and 

subcontractors, including past and 

present officers and employees of such 

companies, their contractors and 

subcontractors. 

(5) Disclosure of information to other 

Federal agencies, in accordance with 31 

U.S.C. 3720B, for the purpose of 

identifying persons in delinquent status 

for programs administered under 

authority of the Act and barring these 

delinquent Federal debtors from 

obtaining applicable Federal loans or 

loan insurance guarantees. 

(6) Disclosure to contractors of FCIC 

or other Federal agencies to conduct 

research and analysis to identify
