FEDERAL RETIREMENT THRIFT

INVESTMENT BOARD

Privacy Act of 1974; System of

Records

AGENCY: Federal Retirement Thrift

Investment Board.

ACTION: Amend payroll records system.

SUMMARY: The Executive Director of the

Federal Retirement Thrift Investment

Board (Board) is amending systems

notice, FRTIB–5, Payroll Records, to

include new routine uses allowing

disclosure to the Department of Health

and Human Services Federal Parent

Locator System for the purpose of

locating Board employees involved in

child support cases and enforcing

employees’ child support obligations.

DATES: Comments must be received no

later than January 16, 1998. The

proposed notice will be effective

January 16, 1998 unless the Board

receives comments which would result

in a different determination. If

comments received result in a different

determination, the document will be

republished with the change.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be sent to

Thomas L. Gray, Assistant General

Counsel for Administration, Federal

Retirement Thrift Investment Board,

1250 H Street, NW, Washington, D.C.

20005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Thomas L. Gray, Assistant General

Counsel for Administration, (202) 942–

1662. FAX (202) 942–1676.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Discussion of Proposed Additions to

Routine Use

Pursuant to Pub. L. 104–193, the

Personal Responsibility and Work

Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996,

the Board will disclose data from its

payroll system of records to the Office

of Child Support Enforcement,

Administration for Children and

Families, Department of Health and

Human Services (DHH) for use in its

Federal Parent Locator System (FPLS)

and Federal Tax Offset System.

The FPLS is a computerized network

through which States may request

location information from Federal and

State agencies to find non-custodial

parents and their employers for the

purposes of establishing paternity and

securing support. Effective October 1,

1997, the FPLS will be enlarged to

include the National Directory of New

Hires, a database containing information

on employees commencing

employment, quarterly wage data on

private and public sector employees,

and information on unemployment

compensation benefits. Effective

October 1, 1998, the FPLS will be

further expanded to include a Federal

Case Registry. The Federal Case Registry

will contain abstracts on all participants

involved in child support and

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. If the FPLS

identifies a person as being a participant

in a State child support case, that State

will be notified of the participant’s

current employer. State requests to the

FPLS for location information will also

continue to be processed after October

1, 1998.

Data to be disclosed by the Board to

the FPLS include: employee name,

address, Social Security number, and

quarterly wages. In addition, names and

Social Security numbers (SSN)

submitted by the Board to the FPLS will

be disclosed by the DHH to the Social

Security Administration for verification

to ensure that the SSN provided is

correct. The data disclosed to the FPLS

will also be disclosed by the DHH to the

Department 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.
66098 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 242 / Wednesday, December 17, 1997 / Notices

II. Compatibility of Proposed Routine

Uses

We are proposing these routine uses

in accordance with the Privacy Act of

1974, as amended (5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3)).

The Privacy Act permits the disclosure

of information about individuals

without their consent for a routine use

where the information will be used for

a purpose which is compatible with the

purpose for which the information was

originally collected. The Office of

Management and Budget has indicated

that a compatible use is a use which is

necessary and proper. See OMB

Guidelines, 51 FR 18982, 18985 (1986).

Since the proposed uses of the data are

required by Pub. L. 104–193, they are

clearly necessary and proper uses, and

therefore compatible uses which meet

Privacy Act requirements.

III. Effect of the Proposed Changes on

Individuals

We will disclose information under

the proposed routine uses only as

required by Pub. L. 104–193 and as

permitted by the Privacy Act.

Accordingly, FRTIB–5, Payroll

Records, system notice originally

published in the Federal Register at 52

FR 12065 (April 14, 1987) and finalized

at 55 FR 18949 (May 7, 1990) is further

amended by adding new text after the

existing text for ‘‘Routine Uses of

Records’’ to read as follows:

FRTIB–5

* * * * *

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:

* * * * *

The information in this system will

also be disclosed as follows:

a. To the Department of Health and

Human Services Federal Parent Locator

System and Federal Tax Offset System

for use in locating current and former

employees involved in child support

and paternity cases and identifying their

income sources to be used in child

support orders and enforcement actions.

b. To the Department of Health and

Human Services Federal Parent Locator

System for release to the Social Security

Administration for verifying Social

Security numbers in connection with

the operation of the FPLS.

c. To the Department of Health and

Human Services Federal Parent Locator

System for release to the Department of

the Treasury for purposes of

administering the Earned Income Tax

Credit Program and verifying a claim

with respect to employment in a tax

return.
