requirements and promote consistent 

maintenance of USAID RSC CMS 

records. The new system is a dedicated

reports of misconduct allegations and 

issues related to USAID programming 

and supports USAID’s ability to monitor 

and respond to misconduct. 

DATES: Submit comments on or before

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: USAID 

proposes to establish a new System of 

Records subject to the Privacy Act of 

1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a. The new system, 

Responsibility, Safeguarding, and 

Compliance Case Management System 

(RSC CMS), is a dedicated incident and 

case management system which will 

contain records that capture reports of 

misconduct allegations and issues from 

all partner types, including grantees, 

contractors, public international 

organizations, and sub awardees. This 

collection supports USAID’s ability to 

monitor and respond to allegations of 

any partners engaging in misconduct 

and prohibited activities. RSC CMS will 

provide a coordinated, streamlined, and 

consistent mechanism for the Agency to 

receive, track and respond to allegations 

of misconduct consistent with the 

statutory authorities for the collection. 

This system will assist USAID in 

documenting, recording and responding 

to safeguarding allegations and 

managing administrative actions, such 

as suspension and debarment 

proceedings, related to misconduct 

allegations of all types, including fraud, 

waste, and abuse. The system will also 

assist USAID in tracking and 

documenting USAID’s assistance appeal 

resolution process that gives 

implementing partners the right to 

appeal an Agreement Officer’s final 

decision.
