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.

and other information necessary to 

establish the identity of the individual 

responsible for the claim; (2) the

and (3) the program under which the

disclose the information specified in 

this paragraph under 5 U.S.C.

contained in 31 U.S.C. 3711(e). A

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
