because they lack adequate depth to 

provide refuge or overwintering habitat. 

Southern Rana muscosa is impacted 

by a number of threats, including: 

Recreational activities (hiking, 

mountain climbing, camping, 

swimming, stocking of trout resulting in 

predation, and suction dredge mining 

for gold), dumping of trash and release 

of toxic or hazardous materials into 

occupied stream reaches, wildfire, 

predatory nonnative species (trout), the 

potential for disease, threats associated 

with small population size (genetic, 

demographic, and environmental 

stochasticity, and natural catastrophes), 

illegal marijuana cultivation, fire 

management activities, nonnative 

plants, climate change, and 

contaminants. 

Recovery Strategy 

The purpose of a recovery plan is to 

provide a framework for the recovery of 

a species so that protection under the 

Act is no longer necessary. A recovery 

plan includes scientific information 

about the species and provides criteria 

that enable us to gauge whether 

downlisting or delisting the species is 

warranted. Furthermore, recovery plans 

help guide our recovery efforts by 

describing actions we consider 

necessary for each species’ conservation 

and by estimating time and costs for 

implementing needed recovery 

measures. 

The goal of this recovery plan is to 

control or ameliorate impacts from 

current threats to the southern Rana 

muscosa such that the taxon no longer 

requires protections afforded by the Act 

and, therefore, warrants delisting. 

Continued outreach with our partners is 

needed to ensure long-term protections 

are afforded to the southern R. muscosa 

and its habitat. The site-specific 

management actions identified in the 

draft recovery plan are as follows: 

(1) Conduct research to inform 

management actions throughout the 

range of the species; 

(2) Create and implement a protocol 

for rangewide surveys and monitoring; 

(3) Ameliorate Factor A threats 

associated with present or threatened 

destruction, modification, or 

curtailment of the habitat or range 

throughout each of the three Recovery 

Units; 

(4) Ameliorate Factor C threats 

associated with predation and disease in 

each of the three Recovery Units; 

(5) Ameliorate Factor E threats 

associated with other natural or 

manmade factors affecting the 

continued existence of southern Rana 

muscosa in each of the three Recovery 

Units; 

(6) Use reestablishment and 

population augmentation to increase 

abundance and expand distribution in 

the wild.

We solicit written comments on the 

draft recovery plan described in this 

notice. All comments received by the 

date specified in DATES will be

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of a modified system of 

records. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the provisions of 

the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 

the Department of the Interior proposes 

to modify the Department of the Interior 

system of records titled, ‘‘Payroll, 

Attendance, Retirement, and Leave 

Records—Interior, DOI–85.’’ This 

system of records allows the Department 

of the Interior to manage human 

resources and payroll functions; ensure 

proper payment for salary and benefits; 

track time worked, leave, or other 

absences for reporting and compliance 

purposes; and meet regulatory 

requirements such as specialized pay, 

garnishments, and special appointment 

programs. The Department of the 

Interior is updating this system of 

records notice to (1) add new proposed 

routine uses, (2) modify existing routine 

uses to provide clarification, (3) modify 

the categories of records and categories 

of individuals covered by the system, 

and (4) update system location, 

authority for maintenance of the system, 

storage, retrievability, safeguards, 

retention and disposal, system manager 

and address, notification procedures, 

records access and contesting 

procedures, and records source 

categories. This modified system will be 

included in the Department of the 

Interior’s inventory of record systems. 

DATES: This modified system will be 

effective upon publication. New or 

modified routine uses will be effective 

August 20, 2018. Submit comments on 

or before August 20, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Department of the Interior (DOI), 

Interior Business Center (IBC) maintains 

the ‘‘Payroll, Attendance, Retirement, 

and Leave Records—Interior, DOI–85’’ 

system of records. This system helps 

DOI manage human resources and 

payroll functions; ensure proper 

payment for salary and benefits; track 

time worked, leave, or other absences 

for reporting and compliance purposes; 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 139 / Thursday, July 19, 2018 / Notices 34157 

and meet regulatory requirements such 

as specialized pay, garnishments, and 

special appointment programs. DOI uses 

the integrated Federal Personnel and 

Payroll System (FPPS) and supporting 

systems to manage these payroll, time 

and attendance, and human capital 

management functions, meet regulatory 

requirements, and prepare reports to 

other Federal agencies including the 

Department of the Treasury and the 

Office of Personnel Management. The 

DOI payroll, attendance, retirement, and 

leave records described in this system of 

records notice form a part of the 

information contained in FPPS. Some 

personnel records contained in the 

FPPS may be covered under OPM/ 

GOVT–1, General Personnel Records, 

the government-wide system of records 

notice published by the Office of 

Personnel Management. 

The DOI IBC is a Federal agency 

shared services provider that provides 

payroll and personnel processing 

services to internal and external 

customers, including its bureaus and 

offices and other Federal agency 

customers, through FPPS and its 

supporting systems. FPPS creates and 

generates the full life cycle of personnel 

transactions; allows for edits and 

updates of personnel and payroll data; 

and manages the regulatory 

requirements. Federal agency customers 

enter into agreements with the DOI IBC 

to host customer payroll and personnel 

data in the FPPS, and process payroll 

and personnel transactions on the 

customer’s behalf. FPPS has 

interconnections with other Federal 

agencies; private organizations; Federal 

agency customers; state, city and county 

governments; and IBC internal systems 

that allow IBC to perform required 

transactions to fulfill its responsibilities 

to process payroll, personnel actions, 

and related functions. 

Although DOI hosts and processes 

payroll and personnel transactions on 

behalf of IBC customers, each customer 

retains ownership and control over its 

own records and is responsible for 

meeting requirements under the Privacy 

Act for the collection, maintenance and 

sharing of their records. Federal agency 

customers have published their own 

system of records notices for their 

employees’ payroll and personnel 

related records hosted or processed by 

DOI. Individuals seeking access to, 

notification or correction of their 

records owned and maintained by 

external Federal agency customers must 

submit their requests to the employing 

Federal agency customer that owns the 

records in accordance with the 

applicable system of records notice 

published by that Federal agency 

customer. 

DOI is publishing this revised notice 

to reorganize the sections and update 

section titles in accordance with Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) 

Circular A–108; describe the purpose of 

the system; and provide general and 

administrative updates to the system 

location, categories of individuals 

covered by the system, categories of 

records in the system, authority for 

maintenance of the system, storage, 

retrievability, safeguards, retention and 

disposal, system manager and address, 

notification procedures, records access 

and contesting procedures, and records 

source categories sections. Additionally, 

DOI is modifying existing routine uses 

to provide clarity and transparency. 

Routine use A was modified to further 

clarify disclosures to the Department of 

Justice or other Federal agencies when 

necessary in relation to litigation or 

judicial proceedings. Routine uses B, C, 

K, N, O, V, W, Z, EE, and GG have been 

modified to provide additional 

clarification on external organizations 

and circumstances where disclosures 

are proper and necessary to facilitate 

payroll and personnel functions or to 

comply with Federal requirements. 

DOI is proposing to add new routine 

uses HH through UU to facilitate sharing 

of information with agencies and 

organizations to ensure the efficient and 

effective management of personnel data 

and proper payment of salary and 

benefits for employees, promote the 

integrity of the records in the system, or 

carry out a statutory responsibility of 

the DOI or the Federal Government. 

Proposed routine use HH facilitates 

sharing of information with the 

Executive Office of the President to 

resolve issues concerning individual’s 

records. Routine use II facilitates payroll 

and personnel functions under a crossservicing agreement with other Federal 

agencies. Routine use JJ allows sharing 

of information to effectively manage 

Federal personnel functions related to 

complaints, claims and appeals initiated 

by employees. Routine use KK 

facilitates sharing of information to 

process or reconcile employees’ 

unemployment claims, benefits, and 

related functions. Routine use LL 

facilitates sharing of information with 

carriers to process or reconcile survivor 

annuity or health benefits claims. 

Routine use MM allows DOI to share 

information to resolve issues or errors 

that may affect pay and leave in order 

to ensure an individual’s personnel and 

payroll data is processed accurately. 

Routine use NN ensures the efficient 

and effective conduct of the Federal 

Government, to meet statutory 

obligations to ensure integrity during 

the administration of benefits programs, 

eligibility for Federally-funded or 

administered benefit programs, tax 

administration, and to prevent fraud or 

attempted fraud. Routine use OO 

facilitates sharing of information with 

Congress in its oversight role to help 

improve performance and ensure 

accountability of the Federal 

Government and to meets its 

constitutional responsibilities. Routine 

use PP allows sharing of wage 

information with the Department of 

Health and Human Services as required 

under the Personal Responsibility and 

Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 

1996. Routine uses QQ and RR allow 

DOI to share information with 

appropriate Federal agencies or entities 

when reasonably necessary to respond 

to a breach of personally identifiable 

information and to prevent, minimize, 

or remedy the risk of harm to 

individuals or the Federal Government, 

or assist an agency in locating 

individuals affected by a breach in 

accordance with OMB Memorandum 

M–17–12, ‘‘Preparing for and 

Responding to a Breach of Personally 

Identifiable Information.’’ Routine use 

SS allows organizations authorized and 

required by law to perform audits or 

oversight operations to ensure accurate 

and effective personnel and payroll 

functions, proper payment for salary 

and benefits. Routine uses TT and UU 

allow sharing of information with a 

court, grand jury, tribunal, or other 

administrative or adjudicative body for 

the resolution of any legal dispute 

involving records in the system. 

II. Privacy Act 

The Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 

embodies fair information practice 

principles in a statutory framework 

governing the means by which Federal 

agencies collect, maintain, use, and 

disseminate individuals’ records. The 

Privacy Act applies to records about 

individuals that are maintained in a 

‘‘system of records.’’ A ‘‘system of 

records’’ is a group of any records under 

the control of an agency from which 

information is retrieved by the name of 

an individual or by some identifying 

number, symbol, or other identifying 

particular assigned to the individual. 

The Privacy Act defines an individual 

as a United States citizen or an alien 

lawfully admitted for permanent 

residence. Individuals may request 

access to their own records that are 

maintained in a system of records in the 

possession or under the control of DOI 

by complying with DOI Privacy Act 

regulations at 43 CFR part 2, subpart K, 

and following the procedures outlined 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
34158 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 139 / Thursday, July 19, 2018 / Notices 

in the Records Access, Contesting 

Record, and Notification Procedures 

sections of this notice. 

The Privacy Act requires each agency 

to publish in the Federal Register a 

description denoting the existence and 

character of each system of records that 

the agency maintains and the routine 

uses of each system. The revised 

Payroll, Attendance, Retirement, and 

Leave Records system of records notice 

is published in its entirety below. In 

accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), DOI 

has provided a report of this modified 

system of records to the Office of 

Management and Budget and to 

Congress. 

III. Public Participation

comment including your personal 

identifying information, such as your 

address, phone number, email address, 

or any other personal identifying 

information in your comment, may be 

made publicly available at any time. 

While you may request to withhold your 

personal identifying information from 

public review, we cannot guarantee we 

will be able to do so.
