Management and Budget (OMB) 

Memorandum M–17–12, Preparing for 

and Responding to a Breach of 

Personally Identifiable Information, 

January 3, 2017, this notice will create 

13 new routine uses, including two new 

routine uses that will permit FERC to 

disclose information as necessary in 

response to an actual or suspected 

breach that pertains to a breach of its 

own records or to assist another agency 

in its efforts to respond to a breach. This 

System of Records Notice (SORN) also

management application name change, 

and the inclusion of new breach 

response routine uses.

552a(e)(4) and (11), this system of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FERC 

maintains the PeopleSoft Financials 

system, the Commission’s official 

financial management system that is 

used to account for and control 

appropriated resources and to maintain 

accounting and financial information 

associated with the operations of FERC.

publication.

System of Records Notice was last 

published in the Federal Register on

notice is being modified to inform the 

public that this system has undergone a 

name change and will no longer be 

called Management, Administrative,

This system is now called PeopleSoft 

Financials. Second, FERC is modifying 

the existing routine uses for this system 

to include, among others, routine uses 

that allow FERC the ability to disclose 

records in response to a breach 

involving its own records or to assist 

another agency in its efforts to respond 

to a breach, in compliance with Office

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF

RECORDS: 

Records are maintained in electronic 

format, on a FedRAMP-authorized cloud 

service provider. In addition, all FERC 

employees and contractors with 

authorized access have undergone a 

thorough background security 

investigation. Data access is restricted to 

agency personnel or contractors whose 

responsibilities require access. Access to 

electronic records is controlled by ‘‘User 

ID’’ and password combination and/or 

other network access or security 

controls (e.g., firewalls). Role based 

access is used to restrict electronic data 

access and the organization employs the 

principle of least privilege, allowing 

only authorized users with access (or 

processes acting on behalf of users) 

necessary to accomplish assigned tasks 

in accordance with organizational 

missions and business functions. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF

RECORDS: 

Records may be retrieved by name of 

employee or name of vendor, and 

vendor ID (system unique) for both 

employees and vendors. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND

DISPOSAL OF RECORDS: 

Records are retained in accordance 

with the applicable National Archives 

and Records Administration schedules, 

General Records Schedule (GRS) 5.2: 

Transitory and Intermediary Records 

(GRS 5.2 Item 020 Intermediary 

Records: https://www.archives.gov/files/ 

records-mgmt/grs/grs05-2.pdf).’’ 

Materials, including hard copy printouts 

derived from electronic records created 

on an ad hoc basis for reference 

purposes or to meet day-today business 

needs, are destroyed when the 

Commission determines that they are no 

longer needed for administrative, legal, 

audit, or other operational purposes. 

Additionally, PeopleSoft Financials 

system of records is retained as defined 

by the NARA approved Records Control 

Schedule, for financial records (https:// 

www.archives.gov/files/records-mgmt/ 

grs/grs01-1.pdf), and https://

www.archives.gov/files/records-mgmt/ 

grs/grs02-2.pdf for Human Resources 

records. 

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL

SAFEGUARDS: 

Physical access to FERC is controlled 

by security guards and admission is 

limited to those individuals possessing 

a valid identification card or individuals 

under proper escort. All personnel are 

required to go through a background 

check prior to being granted access to 

the system. The system utilizes rolebased access controls to restrict access 

to PII based on job function and role. 

Data-at-rest encryption is applied as a 

safeguard to all files containing PII Data. 

The system is secured with the 

safeguards required by FedRAMP and 

NIST SP 800–53.
