SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The DOI Interior Business Center 

(IBC) maintains the INTERIOR/DOI–91, 

Oracle Federal Financials (OFF), system 

of records. The IBC is a service provider 

that performs services for Federal 

government agencies. The IBC’s service 

offerings include providing and 

maintaining various types of business 

management systems for its clients, 

including human resources and 

financial management applications. The 

OFF system provides IBC clients with a 

web-based application that contains 

customizable financial management 

modules that combine to provide a 

comprehensive financial software 

package to support budgeting, 

purchasing, Federal procurement, 

accounts payable, fixed assets, general 

ledger, inventory, accounts receivable, 

reimbursement, reporting, and 

collection functions. 

IBC hosts the OFF system and is 

responsible for system administration 

functions and other management 

functions in accordance with 

interagency agreements with internal 

and external Federal customer agencies. 

Each external client agency retains 

control over its data in the system and 

is responsible for maintaining client 

agency records in the OFF system and 

for meeting the requirements of the 

Privacy Act and other laws, regulations, 

and policies. While DOI records 

generated and maintained in OFF are 

covered under this system of records 

notice (SORN), each client agency that 

maintains records within the system has 

published system notices that cover 

their financial management activities. 

IBC does not collect personally 

identifiable information directly from 

individuals on behalf of the customer 

agency for this system. Therefore, 

individuals seeking access to or 

amendment of their records under the 

control of an external client agency 

should follow the access procedures 

outlined in the applicable client agency 

SORN or send a written inquiry to that 

Federal agency Chief Privacy Officer. 

Additionally, some records 

maintained within the OFF system may 

also be covered by existing governmentwide SORNs published by the General 

Services Administration, including 

GSA/GOVT–3, Travel Charge Card 

Program, 78 FR 20108 (April 3, 2013); 

GSA/GOVT–4, Contracted Travel 

Services Program 74 FR 26700 (June 3, 

2009), modification published at 74 FR 

28048 (June 12, 2009); and GSA/GOVT– 

6, GSA SmartPay Purchase Charge Card 

Program, 73 FR 22376 (April 25, 2008). 

These records may be subject to 

handling and disclosure requirements 

pursuant to the routine uses in the 

government-wide SORNs, as applicable. 

Client agencies are responsible for 

ensuring the handling, use, and sharing 

of their records in OFF are in 

compliance with the Privacy Act of 

1974, including the provisions regarding 

notice, access, collection, use, retention, 

and disclosure of records. 

In this notice, DOI is proposing to 

update the system manager and system 

location sections; expand on the record 

source categories section; update 

authorities for maintenance of the 

system; update the storage, retrieval, 

records retention schedule, and 

safeguards; update the notification, 

records access and contesting 

procedures; and provide general 

updates in accordance with the Privacy 

Act of 1974 and Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) Circular A–108, 

Federal Agency Responsibilities for 

Review, Reporting, and Publication 

under the Privacy Act. 

DOI is also changing the routine uses 

from a numeric to alphabetic list and is 

proposing to modify existing routine 

uses to provide clarity and transparency 

and reflect updates consistent with 

standard DOI routine uses. The notice of 

disclosure to consumer reporting 

agencies section was moved to the end 

of this section. Routine use A has been 

modified to further clarify disclosures to 

the Department of Justice or other 

Federal agencies when necessary in 

relation to litigation or judicial 

proceedings. Routine use B has been 

modified to clarify disclosures to a 

congressional office to respond to or 

resolve an individual’s request made to 

that office. Routine use H has been 

modified to expand the sharing of 

information with territorial 

organizations in response to court 

orders or for discovery purposes related 

to litigation. Routine use I has been 

modified to include the sharing of 

information with grantees and shared 

service providers that perform services 

requiring access to these records on 

DOI’s behalf to carry out the purposes 

of the system. Routine use J was slightly 

modified to allow DOI to share 

information with appropriate Federal 

agencies or entities when reasonably 

necessary to prevent, minimize, or 

remedy the risk of harm to individuals 

or the Federal Government resulting 

from a breach in accordance with OMB 

Memorandum M–17–12, Preparing for 

and Responding to a Breach of 

Personally Identifiable Information. 

Routine use R has been modified to 

reflect the agency name change for the 

Government Accountability Office. 

DOI is proposing a new routine use to 

facilitate the sharing of information with 

another Federal agency to carry out a 

statutory responsibility of the DOI. 

Proposed routine use S allows DOI to 

share information with the Department 

of the Treasury in support of the Do Not 

Pay Program in accordance with the 

Payment Integrity Information Act of 

2019 to prevent and detect improper 

payments. 

Pursuant to the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 

552a(b)(12), DOI may disclose 

information from this system to 

consumer reporting agencies as defined 

in the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 

U.S.C. 1681a(f)) or the Federal Claims 

Collection Act of 1966 (31 U.S.C. 

3701(a)(3)) to aid in the collection of 

outstanding debts owed to the Federal 

Government. 

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 lawful 

permanent resident. Individuals may 

request access to their own records that 

are maintained in a system of records in 

the possession or under the control of 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
81104 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 194 / Monday, October 7, 2024 / Notices 

DOI by complying with DOI Privacy Act 

regulations at 43 CFR part 2, subpart K, 

and following the procedures outlined 

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 INTERIOR/ 

DOI–91, Oracle Federal Financials 

(OFF), SORN is published in its entirety 

below. In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 

552a(r), DOI has provided a report of 

this system of records to the Office of 

Management and Budget and to 

Congress. 

III. Public Participation 

You should be aware your entire 

comment including your personally 

identifiable information, such as your 

address, phone number, email address, 

or any other personal information in 

your comment, may be made publicly 

available at any time. While you may 

request to withhold your personally 

identifiable information from public 

review, we cannot guarantee we will be 

able to do so.

Departmental Records Schedule (DRS) 

1—Administrative Records, Long-term 

Financial and Acquisition Records 

(DAA–0048–2013–0001–0011), which

disposition for these records is 

temporary with destruction authorized 

seven years after the cut off of the record 

as instructed in the bureau or office 

records manual or at the end of fiscal

Each Federal agency client maintains 

records in the system in accordance 

with records retention schedules 

approved by NARA, and agency clients

unauthorized access to the DOI network 

and information assets. A Privacy Act 

Warning Notice appears on computer 

monitor screens when records 

containing information on individuals 

are first displayed. Data exchanged 

between the servers and the system is 

encrypted. Backup tapes are encrypted
