# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

                    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; these records are maintained in a “system of records,” which refers to 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 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. In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), the IAF has provided a report of these system of records to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and to Congress. The IAF is adding three new systems of records.                

The Federal Personnel and Payroll System (FPPS) (IAF-01) is an online personnel and payroll system providing support to Federal agency customers through DOI's Interior Business Center (IBC). FPPS is customized to meet customer needs for creating and generating the full life cycle of personnel transactions. IAF uses FPPS 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. FPPS allows for immediate updates and edits of personnel and payroll data. IAF has contracted with DOI IBC for human resource services including the use of FPPS. This SORN covers only the Inter-American Foundation data held within FPPS and does not cover the data of any other agencies utilizing DOI IBC's services nor does it cover data belonging to DOI.

The IAF Salesforce CRM system (IAF-02) is used to manage relationships with potential or current contacts, beneficiaries, partners, donors, and other civil society organizations. It supports the mission of the Agency by increasing transparency, improving outreach, communications, and collaboration efforts with our stakeholders, as well as employing sound, repeatable methodologies.

The IAF GovGrants system (IAF-03) will provide the agency a web-based full life-cycle grants management system. The system will maintain grant program information, notice of funding opportunities, agency award application package information, agency award agreement, and reporting information to meet compliance requirements with the Data Act and Foreign Assistance Act.
