COMPLIANCE BOARD 

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: Architectural and 

Transportation Barriers Compliance 

Board. 

ACTION: Notice; proposed new system of 

records. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, the 

Architectural and Transportation 

Barriers Compliance Board (Access 

Board or Board) gives notice of the 

establishment of a new Privacy Act 

System of Records, entitled, 

‘‘USAB.002—Complaint Tracking 

System’’. This system of records covers 

records related to the investigation and 

adjudication of complaints filed with 

the agency alleging violations of the 

Architectural Barriers Act. 

DATES: This Notice is effective on 

publication, with the exception of the 

routine uses. The routine uses will be 

effective 30 days after publication, 

unless comments are received that 

dictate otherwise. Written comments 

should be submitted December 15, 2023.

Privacy Officer, (202) 272–0043, 

marshall@access-board.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Access Board is publishing this notice 

to inform the public of the creation of 

a new system of records relating to the 

investigation and adjudication of 

complaints filed with the agency 

alleging violations of the Architectural 

Barriers Act of 1968 (ABA). The ABA 

requires that buildings or facilities that 

were constructed or altered by or on 

behalf of the United States, or leased or 

financed in whole or in part by the 

United States, after August 12, 1968, be 

accessible to individuals with 

disabilities. The Access Board enforces 

the ABA through the investigation of 

complaints filed by members of the 

public or federal employees. See 29 

U.S.C. 792(b)(1). Complaints may be 

submitted by any person and may be 

filed anonymously. Once a complaint is 

filed, it is electronically entered into the 

agency’s complaint tracking system and 

the Board investigates the complaint 

according to the procedures in 36 CFR 

part 1150. Complainants who choose to 

provide their contact information 

(name, phone number, email address, 

and/or physical mailing address), will 

be kept up to date on the status of the 

investigation and any corrective action 

taken by the agency or department in 

question. In the past, this information 

was not considered to be kept in a 

system of records, because while the 

contact information was contained 

within the complaint system, individual 

complaints were not pulled by an 

identifier related to the complainant. 

The Board recently updated to a new 

platform for this system and now 

believes it necessary to establish this 

system as a system of records, so that on 

occasion the compliance specialist can 

pull specific complaints by complainant 

name or email address. This will not 

change the processing of the complaint 

and complaints can still be filed 

anonymously or complainants can 

choose which personally identifying 

information to provide, such as just 

their name and email. 

SYSTEM NAME: 

USAB.002—Complaint Tracking 

System. 

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: 

Unclassified. 

SYSTEM LOCATION: 

U.S. Access Board, 1331 F Street NW, 

Suite 1000, Washington, DC 20004. 

SYSTEM MANAGER: 

Senior Compliance Specialist, U.S. 

Access Board, 1331 F Street NW, Suite 

1000, Washington, DC 20004. 

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

29 U.S.C. 792(b)(1); 42 U.S.C. 4151 et 

seq.; 36 CFR 1150; and 36 CFR 1191. 

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM: 

This system of records supports the 

receipt and investigation of complaints 

alleging violations of the ABA, to 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 219 / Wednesday, November 15, 2023 / Notices 78293 

monitor the progress of any corrective 

action in response to such complaints, 

and to ensure the Access Board can 

communicate with complainants 

throughout the investigative process 

who choose to provide identifying 

information. Additionally, this record 

system tracks and reports the number of 

complaints received, the current status 

of active complaints, and the 

disposition of complaints. However, 

these reports do not include any 

personally identifiable information. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM: 

Individuals covered by this system 

include any individual that chooses to 

file a complaint alleging a violation of 

the ABA with the Board and to provide 

personally identifiable information with 

that complaint. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

Name, email address, physical 

address, and phone number of 

individual filing complaint; any 

additional information about the 

complainant, including potentially the 

nature of the individual’s disability, 

provided by the complainant relating to 

the filing of the complaint; 

communications between the 

complainant and the compliance 

specialist regarding the complaint; 

communications between the 

compliance specialist and the agency in 

charge of the facility or building 

regarding the complaint and any 

corrective action to be taken. 

RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES: 

Records in the system are obtained 

from individual members of the public 

or employees of federal agencies who 

file a complaint, agency officials from 

the Federal agency that manages the 

building or facility named in the 

complaint, and the compliance 

specialist who processes and 

investigates the complaint. 

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: 

The identity of the complainant may 

only be disclosed with written 

authorization, as required in 36 CFR 

1150.12(b). The routine uses of the 

records maintained in the Complaint 

Tracking System include, in addition to 

those disclosures generally permitted 

under 5 U.S.C. 552a(b) of the Privacy 

Act, disclosures outside the agency as a 

routine use pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 

552a(b)(3) as follows: 

1. Disclosure to a Federal Agency—To 

disclose information to a Federal agency 

for the purpose of investigation and 

informal or formal resolution of the 

alleged violation of the ABA or if 

requested by another Federal agency 

pursuant to an administrative, civil, or 

criminal legal proceeding in which the 

Federal agency is a party. 

2. Contractors, Experts, and 

Consultants—To contractors, experts, 

consultants, and the agents thereof, and 

others performing or working on a 

contract, service, cooperative agreement,

agency function. Individuals provided 

information under this routine use are 

subject to the same Privacy Act 

requirements and limitations on 

disclosure as Access Board employees. 

3. Congressional Inquiries—A record 

from this system of records 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. 

4. Law Enforcement—In the event that 

a system of records maintained by the 

Access Board to carry out its functions 

indicates a violation or potential 

violation of law, whether criminal, civil, 

or regulatory in nature, and whether 

arising by general statute or particular 

program pursuant thereto, the relevant 

records in the system of records may be 

disclosed to the appropriate agency, 

whether Federal, state, local, or foreign, 

charged with the responsibility of 

investigating or prosecuting such 

violation or charged with enforcing or 

implementing the statute, or rule, 

regulation, or order issued pursuant 

thereto. 

5. Disclosure in Litigation—A record 

from this system of records may be 

disclosed in a proceeding before a court 

or other adjudicative body in which the 

Access Board, an employee of the 

Access Board in his or her official 

capacity, or an employee of the Access 

Board in his or her individual capacity 

if the Access Board (or the Department 

of Justice (‘‘DOJ’’)) has agreed to 

represent him or her is a party, or the 

United States or any other Federal 

agency is a party and the Access Board 

determines that it has an interest in the 

proceeding, if the Access Board 

determines that the record is relevant to 

the proceeding and that the use is 

compatible with the purpose for which 

the Access Board collected the 

information. 

6. Disclosure to the Department of 

Justice in Litigation—When the Access 

Board, an employee of the Access Board 

in his or her official capacity, or an 

employee of the Access Board in his or 

her individual capacity whom the 

Access Board has agreed to represent is 

a party to a proceeding before a court or 

other adjudicative body, or the United 

States or any other Federal agency is a 

party and the Access Board determines 

that it has an interest in the proceeding, 

a record from this system of records may 

be disclosed to the DOJ if the Access 

Board is consulting with the DOJ 

regarding the proceeding or has decided 

that the DOJ will represent the Access 

Board, or its interest, in the proceeding 

and the Access Board determines that 

the record is relevant to the proceeding 

and that the use is compatible with the 

purpose for which the Access Board 

collected the information. 

7. Disclosure in Response to a Federal 

Data Breach—A record from this system 

of records may be disclosed to 

appropriate agencies, entities, and 

persons when (1) the Access Board 

suspects or has confirmed that there has 

been a breach of the system of records; 

(2) the Access Board has determined 

that, as a result of the suspected or 

confirmed breach, there is a risk of harm 

to individuals, the Board (including its 

information systems, operations, and 

programs), the Federal government or 

national security; and (3) the disclosure 

made to such agencies, entities, and 

persons is reasonably necessary to assist 

in connection with the Access Board’s 

efforts to respond to the suspected or 

confirmed breach or to prevent, 

minimize, or remedy such harm. 

8. Records Management—To the 

National Archives and Records 

Administration or to the General 

Services Administration for records 

management inspections conducted 

under 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906.

Entities—To another Federal agency or 

Federal entity, when the Board 

determines that information from this 

system is reasonably necessary to assist 

the recipient agency or entity in: (a)

breach or (b) preventing, minimizing, or 

remedying the risk of harm to 

individuals, the recipient agency or 

entity (including its information 

systems, program, and operations), the 

Federal Government, or national 

security, resulting from a suspected or 

confirmed breach. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF

RECORDS: 

Records in this system consist of 

electronic records. Electronic records 

are maintained within a restricted 

access system, namely the Board’s 

Complaint Tracking System. Access is 

limited to the system owner(s) and other 

agency personnel who have an official 

need for access to perform their duties 

(e.g., contractor who manages the 

system and compliance staff). Access 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
78294 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 219 / Wednesday, November 15, 2023 / Notices 

Board policy requires new employees to 

read and acknowledge the rules of 

behavior applicable to all agency 

information technology systems 

(including appropriate protection and 

handling of personally identifiable 

information) before getting access to 

these systems and complete annual 

cybersecurity awareness training. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF

RECORDS: 

Records are routinely retrieved by 

Access Board complaint number or the 

name of the facility to which a 

complaint relates. Records can also be 

retrieved by a variety of other fields, 

including the name and/or email 

address of the complainant, while this 

is not the routine method of retrieval, it 

is available for use by the compliance 

specialist, when needed. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND

DISPOSAL OF RECORDS: 

Electronic records are retained in 

accordance with the Access Board File 

Plan 500- Complaint Files, which 

prescribes a three-year retention period. 

For administrative program files, the 

retention period dates from file 

supersession. For these records, five 

years after the closure of the complaint 

the files are transferred to Washington 

National Records Center (WNRC). Ten 

years after closure, these records are 

eligible for destruction, electronic 

records are securely destroyed or erased 

using methods prescribed by the 

National Institute of Standards and 

Technology. 

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL

SAFEGUARDS: 

Access to system records is restricted 

to authorized Access Board personnel 

who are system owners or have an 

official need to access such records to 

perform their duties. Electronic records 

are stored in a restricted-access separate 

system. Access to electronic records is 

controlled by technical safeguards 

through assignment of system roles and 

permissions, secure log-ins, multi-factor 

authentication, time-out features, 

firewalls, and cybersecurity monitoring 

systems. Access Board policy also 

requires all emails, email strings, and 

attachments that contain sensitive 

personally identifiable information to be 

protected by encryption or password 

protection before transmission, absent 

express waiver from an agency privacy 

officer. 

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES: 

Individuals seeking access to, or 

notification of, any record contained in 

this system of records, or seeking to 

contest its content, may inquire in 

writing in accordance with instructions 

appearing in the Access Board’s Privacy 

Act Implementation rule, 36 CFR part
