Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 22 / Wednesday, February 2, 2022 / Notices 5843 

schedules for NARA’s approval. Once 

approved by NARA, records schedules 

provide mandatory instructions on what 

happens to records when no longer 

needed for current Government 

business. The records schedules 

authorize agencies to preserve records of 

continuing value in the National 

Archives or to destroy, after a specified 

period, records lacking continuing 

administrative, legal, research, or other 

value. Some schedules are 

comprehensive and cover all the records 

of an agency or one of its major 

subdivisions. Most schedules, however, 

cover records of only one office or 

program or a few series of records. Many 

of these update previously approved 

schedules, and some include records 

proposed as permanent. 

Agencies may not destroy Federal 

records without the approval of the 

Archivist of the United States. The 

Archivist grants this approval only after 

thorough consideration of the records’ 

administrative use by the agency of 

origin, the rights of the Government and 

of private people directly affected by the 

Government’s activities, and whether or 

not the records have historical or other 

value. Public review and comment on 

these records schedules is part of the 

Archivist’s consideration process. 

Schedules Pending: 

1. Department of Defense, Defense 

Threat Reduction Agency, 

Counterintelligence Activities (DAA–

BILLING CODE 7515–01–P 

NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS 

BOARD 

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: National Labor Relations 

Board. 

ACTION: Notice; new system of records. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Privacy Act of 1974, the National Labor 

Relations Board (‘‘NLRB’’ or ‘‘Agency’’) 

proposes to issue a National Labor 

Relations Board system of records notice 

titled, ‘‘Backpay Management System’’ 

(NLRB–36). The Agency is authorized 

by the National Labor Relations Act to 

remedy unfair labor practices by issuing 

a backpay remedy to an individual, 

called a ‘‘discriminatee,’’ for a monetary 

loss that results from an unfair labor 

practice. A charged party that owes 

backpay is generally referred to as a 

‘‘respondent.’’ The Agency uses the 

Backpay Management System (BMS) to 

record received funds from respondents, 

to effectuate disbursements of backpay 

and certain related tax forms to 

discriminatees, and to facilitate 

providing certain tax forms, tax reports, 

and tax payments to the Internal 

Revenue Service (IRS) and the Social 

Security Administration. This system 

notice will be included in the Agency 

inventory of record systems. All persons 

are advised that, in the absence of 

submitted comments considered by the 

Agency as warranting modification of 

the notice as here proposed, it is the 

intention of the Agency that the notice 

shall be effective upon expiration of the 

comment period without further action. 

DATES: Written comments on the 

system’s routine uses must be submitted 

on or before March 4, 2022. This system 

will be effective upon publication. The 

routine uses in this action will become 

effective on March 4, 2022 unless 

written comments are received that 

require a contrary determination. 

ADDRESSES: All persons who desire to 

submit written comments for 

consideration by the Agency in 

connection with this proposed notice of 

the system of records shall mail them to 

the Agency’s Senior Agency Official for 

Privacy, National Labor Relations Board, 

1015 Half Street SE, Third Floor, 

Washington, DC 20570–0001, or submit 

them electronically to privacy@nlrb.gov. 

Comments may also be submitted 

electronically through http://

www.regulations.gov, which contains a 

copy of this proposed notice. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

general questions and privacy issues 

please contact: NLRB’s Privacy Officer, 

Office of the Chief Information Officer, 

National Labor Relations Board, 1015 

Half Street SE, Third Floor, Washington, 

DC 20570–0001, (202) 273–3733, or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

system of records to Congress and to the 

Office of Management and Budget. 

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER: 

NLRB–36, Backpay Management 

System. 

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: 

None of the records in this system are 

classified. 

SYSTEM LOCATION: 

Records are maintained at the 

National Labor Relations Board 

Headquarters in Washington, DC and in 

NLRB field locations, which are 

available at https://www.nlrb.gov, and in 

electronic databases. 

SYSTEM MANAGER(S): 

Associate Chief Financial Officer, 

Finance, Office of the Chief Financial 

Officer, National Labor Relations Board, 

1015 Half Street SE, Washington, DC 

20570. 

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

44 U.S.C. 3101; 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(10); 

29 U.S.C. 160(c); 29 CFR 101.16; E.O. 

9397 (8 FR 16094, Nov. 30, 1943), as 

amended by E.O. 13478 (73 FR 70239, 

Nov. 20, 2008), relating to federal use of 

Social Security Numbers. 

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM: 

The purpose of the Backpay 

Management System (BMS) is to enable 

the Agency to record funds received 

from respondents and to effectuate 

disbursements of backpay and issuance 

of certain tax forms to discriminatees. 

The Agency uses the BMS to create 

disbursement files that are transmitted 

to the Department of the Treasury for 

the issuance of payment to 

discriminatees. The system also 

facilitates the efforts and responsibility 

of the Agency to send certain tax forms, 

tax reports, and tax payments to the 

Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the 

Social Security Administration. The 

system also generates reports that are 

used to support and verify the activities 

being processed. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM: 

The system covers individuals who 

are ‘‘discriminatees,’’ to whom the 

Agency is issuing a backpay remedy for 

a monetary loss as part of an unfair 

labor practice case under the National 

Labor Relations Act. The system also 

covers sole proprietor respondents. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

Records in the system may include 

the following types of information about 

individuals: 

D For each discriminatee: Name; 

Social Security number; mailing 

address; home phone number; cell 

phone number; email address; work

law firms representing discriminatees; 

disbursement requests uploaded by 

Agency regional compliance officers; 

and payment processing data from the 

Treasury Department, which is 

manually entered into the BMS by the 

Agency’s Office of the Chief Financial

to the Agency primarily due to incorrect 

banking information, invalid address, or 

uncashed check after one year.

consistent with the official duties of the 

person making the disclosure. 

11. To a court, magistrate, or 

administrative tribunal in the course of 

presenting evidence, including 

disclosures to opposing counsel or

discovery, litigation, or settlement 

negotiations or in connection with 

criminal law proceedings or pursuant to 

the order of a court of competent 

jurisdiction. 

12. To third parties during the course 

of a law enforcement investigation to

that release of the specific information 

in the context of a particular case would 

constitute a clearly unwarranted 

invasion of personal privacy.

Abstract: The National Science 

Foundation (NSF) Innovation Corps (ICorps) Program was started in 2011 to 

develop and nurture a national 

innovation ecosystem built upon 

fundamental research that guides the 

output of scientific and engineering 

discoveries closer to the development of 

technologies, products, and services that 

benefit society. 

The goal of the I-Corps Program is to 

use experiential education to help 

entrepreneurial researchers reduce the 

time necessary to translate promising 

ideas from the laboratory bench to 

widespread implementation. In addition 

to accelerating technology translation, 

the NSF I-Corps program also seeks to 

reduce the risk associated with 

technology development conducted 

without insight into industry 

requirements and challenges. 

The NSF I-Corps Program is designed 

to support the commercialization of 

‘‘deep technologies,’’ those revolving 

around fundamental discoveries in 

science and engineering. The program 

addresses the skill and knowledge gaps 

associated with the transformation of
