**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

Introduction

In accordance with Executive Order 13607 of April 27, 2012, the Department’s Federal Student Aid office has created a complaint system to strengthen enforcement and compliance mechanisms. The SPD–CTS will register and track complaints and responses for students receiving Federal military, veteran’s educational, or Federal title IV, Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA) program benefits. Information may be shared with other Federal agencies, such as the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense, the Department of Justice, and the Consumer Financial Protection Board (CFPB), for the purposes indicated in the routine uses published below and provided that such disclosure is permissible under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Complaints are received through various resources (including, but not limited to, the public, school officials, external oversight partners, students, referrals from Federal, State, or local agencies, and other FSA offices), regarding issues such as administrative capability, school closure, disbursements, foreign schools, misrepresentation, and loan issues or student eligibility issues. Complaints are typically received via telephone or written correspondence by either FSA or the Office of Inspector General; however, complaints are registered without regard to the manner in which they are submitted. The preferred method for the receipt of title IV complaints and allegations is via email using the general SPD mailbox at Caseteams@ed.gov

.

Upon receipt, the complaint or allegation is sent to the appropriate SPD team member for review, follow-up, and resolution. The complaints and allegations are reviewed to establish facts and circumstances regarding the alleged impropriety relating to the administration of the title IV, HEA programs. If the complaint or allegation is found to have merit, SPD takes the appropriate compliance action.

The purposes of the SPD–CTS are to capture complaint and allegation information from any source, to track complaints and allegations accurately by maintaining an audit trail of actions taken by the SPD, to provide geographically dispersed team members with meaningful and up-to-date information at decision points for SPD activities, to routinely resolve complaints within a timely manner, to report annually to Congress, to provide oversight and to ensure program integrity, thus safeguarding taxpayers’ interests, to identify title IV, HEA program issues that may lead to law enforcement investigations, litigation, or other proceedings for use in such proceedings, to refer instances of possible fraud and abuse in Federal, State, or local programs to appropriate persons, entities, or authorities, where they may be covered by other Privacy Act system of records notices, and to create a centralized complaint system for students receiving educational benefits to register complaints that can be tracked and responded to by appropriate Federal, State, or local persons, entities, or authorities, where they also may be covered by other Privacy Act system of records notices.

The SPD–CTS includes records on individuals who have received title IV, HEA program assistance and are
unsatisfied with their institutions of higher education. These records not only contain complaints and allegations against institutions of higher education, but they also contain, individually identifying information about title IV, HEA recipients, including, but not limited to their: names, street addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers. The information in the SPD–CTS may
be shared with other law enforcement agencies for the purposes indicated in the routine uses published below and provided that such disclosure is
consistent with FERPA.

Anyone in the SPD can add cases;
those records will be held in accordance with federal record retention policies. In
order to view the contents of the SPD– CTS on the Web site, a password is required to access SPD–CTS on the Web

site.

The Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) and (11)) requires the Department to publish this notice of a new system of records in the Federal Register . The Department’s regulations implementing the Privacy Act are contained in 34 CFR part 5b.

The Privacy Act applies to any record
about an individual that contains individually identifying information and that is retrieved by a unique
identifier associated with each individual, such as a name or Social Security number (SSN). The information
about each individual is called a ‘‘record,’’ and the system, whether manual or computer-based, is called a ‘‘system of records.’’

The Privacy Act requires each agency to publish a system of records notice in
the Federal Register and to prepare reports to the Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, OMB whenever the agency publishes a new system of records or significantly alters an established system of records. Each agency is also required to send copies of the report to
the Chair of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental
Affairs and the Chair of the House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. These reports are included to permit an evaluation of the probable effect of the proposal on the privacy rights of individuals.

Accessible Format: Individuals with
disabilities can obtain this document in an accessible format (e.g., braille, large print, audiotape, or compact disc) on request to the contact person listed
under this section.

**POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING**

**, RETRIEVING** 

**, ACCESSING** 

**, RETAINING** 

**, AND** 

**DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM :** 

**STORAGE :** 

The Department electronically stores the complaints and allegations on an
Intranet Web site. The Web site is
located at the Virtual Data Center in Plano, Texas.

**RETRIEVABILITY :** 

Records in the SPD–CTS system are retrieved by searching any of the following data elements: complainant’s
name, institution’s name, reviewer’s name or Office of Postsecondary Education identification (OPEID)
number.

**SAFEGUARDS :** 

In addition to undergoing security clearances, contract and Department employees are required to complete security awareness training on an annual basis. Annual security awareness training is required to ensure that contract and Department users are appropriately trained in safeguarding Privacy Act data in accordance with OMB Circular No. A–130, Appendix III.

The computer system employed by the Department offers a high degree of resistance to tampering and circumvention. This security system limits data access to Department and
contract staff on a ‘‘need-to-know’’ basis and controls individual users’ ability to
access and alter records within the system. All users of this system of records are given a password. The Department’s FSA Information Security and Privacy Policy requires the enforcement of a complex password policy. This password is only given to SPD staff who are assigned to investigate and resolve the complaint(s).

**RETENTION AND DISPOSAL :** 

The records created by this system are currently unscheduled. ED will apply to
the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) for disposition authority that covers these records. Until disposition authority is received from NARA, no records will be destroyed.

**SYSTEM MANAGER AND ADDRESS :** 

Dale Shaw, FSA, U.S. Department of Education, 1999 Bryan Street Suite 1410, Dallas, Texas 75201–6817.

**NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE :** 

If you wish to determine whether a record exists regarding you in the system of records, provide the system manager with your name, address, email address, and phone number. Requests must meet the requirements in 34 CFR 5b.5, including proof of identity.

**RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES :** 

If you wish to gain access to a record in this system, provide the system manager with your name, address, email address, and phone number. Requests by an individual for access to a record must meet the requirements in the regulations at 34 CFR 5b.5, including proof of identity.

**CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURE :** 

If you wish to change the content of your personal record within the system of records, provide the system manager with your name, address, email address, and phone number. Identify the specific items to be changed, and provide a written justification for the change. Requests to amend a record must meet the requirements in 34 CFR 5b.7.

**RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES :** 

This system includes records on individuals who may have received title IV, HEA program assistance. These records include information provided by various sources (including, but not limited to, the public, school officials, external oversight partners, students, referrals from Federal, State, or local agencies, and other FSA offices). The Department’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) may also refer complaints and allegations received via the OIG Hotline that do not appear to require an OIG audit, a formal OIG investigation, or action by any other federal agency.

**EXEMPTIONS CLAIMED FOR THE SYSTEM :** 

None.
