E. Alan Simpson, Personnel Officer,

408–2585, or Janice A. Kaye, AttorneyAdvisor, Office of General Counsel, 202/

Board, 1777 F Street, N.W., Washington,

D.C. 20006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

to the requirements of the Privacy Act,

the Finance Board is publishing a notice

of an amendment to its system of

records entitled FHFB–1 Employee

Attendance Records, to expressly

include payroll records and a new

routine use required by the

Reconciliation Act. See 5 U.S.C.

552a(e)(4) and (11); Pub. L. 104–193,

sec. 316(f), 110 Stat. 2175 (Aug. 22,

1996), codified at 42 U.S.C. 653.

Under the Reconciliation Act, the

Finance Board is required to disclose

data from the system of records entitled

FHFB–1 Employee Payroll and

Attendance Records to the Office of

Child Support Enforcement,

Administration for Children and

Families, Department of Health and

Human Services, for use in the National

Database of New Hires, which is part of

the Federal Parent Locator Service

(FPLS) and Federal Tax Offset System,

DHHS/OCSE No. 09–90–0074. See 62

FR 61663 (Oct. 2, 1997) (describing

FPLS).

FPLS is a computerized network

through which states may request

location information from federal and

state agencies to find non-custodial

parents and their employees for

purposes of establishing and enforcing

child support obligations. On October 1,

1997, FPLS was expanded to include

the National Directory of New Hires, a

database containing employment

information on employees recently

hired, quarterly wage data on private

and public sector employees, and

information on unemployment

compensation benefits. On October 1,

1998, FPLS will be expanded further to

include a Federal Case Registry that will

contain abstracts on all participants

involved in child support enforcement

cases. When the Federal Case Registry is

instituted, its files will be matched on

an ongoing basis against the files in the

National Directory of New Hires to

determine if an employee is a

participant in a child support case

anywhere in the country. The

appropriate state will be notified if

FPLS identifies a person as a participant

in a child support case. State requests to

FPLS for location information also will

continue to be processed after October

1, 1998.

When the Finance Board hires a

person, it may disclose to FPLS his or

her name, social security number, home

address, date of birth, date of hire, and

information identifying the Finance

Board as the employer. The Finance

Board also may disclose to FPLS the

names, social security numbers, and

quarterly earnings of each Finance

Board employee, within one month of

the end of the quarterly reporting

period.

Information the Finance Board

submits to FPLS will be disclosed by the

Office of Child Support Enforcement to

the Social Security Administration for

verification to ensure that the social

security number provided is correct. It

also will be disclosed to the Secretary of

the Treasury for use in verifying claims

for the advance payment of the earned

income tax credit or to verify a claim of

employment on a tax return.

Accordingly, the Finance Board

hereby amends the system of records

entitled FHFB–1 Employee Attendance

Records, originally published in the

Federal Register in September 1995, see

60 FR 46120 (Sept. 5, 1995), as follows:
