CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM: 

Current and former employees of the 

Corporation. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

This system consists of a variety of 

records relating to pay and leave 

determinations made about each 

employee of OPIC. In addition to the 

name of the employee, the system 

includes information such as the 

employee’s date of birth, social security 

number (SSN), home address, grade or 

rank, employing organization, salary, 

civil service retirement fund 

contributions, pay plan, number of 

hours worked, annual and sick leave 

balances, deductions for Medicare and/ 

or FICA, Federal, State and city tax 

withholdings, Federal Employees Group 

Life Insurance withholdings, Federal 

Employees Health Benefits

garnishments, child support and/or 

alimony wage assignments, savings 

allotments, union and management 

association dues withholdings 

allotments, savings and bonds 

allotments, Combined Federal 

Campaign allotments, and Thrift 

Savings Plan contributions. 

PURPOSE(S): 

FPPS: Records in this system are used 

to insure that each employee receives 

the proper pay and allowances; that 

proper deductions and authorized 

allotments are made from employees’ 

pay; and that employees are credited 

and charged with the proper amount of 

leave. Records are also used to produce 

summary descriptive statistics and 

analytical studies in support of the 

functions for which the records are 

collected and maintained and for related 

personnel management functions or pay 

studies, and for other purposes 

compatible with the intent for which the 

records system was created. 

Datamart®: This system is used to 

provide a data warehouse which allows 

appropriate users to access FPPS data 

through a core reporting tool, 

Hyperion®. The reports may be preformatted or ad hoc, and are available to 

appropriate users from OPIC.

DISCLOSURE TO CONSUMER REPORTING

AGENCIES: 

None. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, 

RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND

DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

STORAGE: 

Records are maintained manually and 

are stored electronically at the 

Department of the Interior (DOT), 

National Business Center (NBC), in 

Denver, Colorado. Historic records are 

stored on magnetic media and 

electronically at DOI/NBC. Original 

input documents are kept in standard 

office filing equipment in a secure file 

room. 

RETRIEVABILITY: 

Records are retrievable by name and 

SSN from DOI/NBC. 

SAFEGUARDS: 

Access to, and use of, these records is 

limited to personnel whose official 

duties require such access. Personnel 

screening is employed to prevent 

unauthorized disclosure. 

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: 

Records submitted by the individual, 

such as allotment authorization forms, 

home address forms, and tax 

withholding forms, are retained until 

superseded by new forms or until the 

individual leaves OPIC. Most of these 

records are then destroyed. Some of 

these records must be retained for an 

additional period, or forwarded to the 

new employing agency. Time and 

attendance records are retained by the 

Records Department for six years and 

three months, and then they are 

destroyed. 

The automated personnel/payroll 

master record, established when the 

individual is first employed and 

continually updated throughout the 

period of his/her employment, is 

retained until the individual leaves 

OPIC. 

SYSTEM MANAGER(S) AND ADDRESS: 

Director of Human Resources 

Management, 1100 New York Avenue, 

NW., Washington, DC 20527. 

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES: 

An individual requesting either 

notification of, access to, or copies of a 

record about him/her must make a 

request in writing, signed by the 

individual, and, except in the event 

such requesting individual is an officer 

or employee of OPIC, must include a 

notarized statement to verify his/her 

identity or must certify in the request 

that he/she is the person claimed to be. 

These procedures are in accordance 

with OPIC Regulations (22 CFR 

707.21(b)). Such request must either be 

mailed to the system manager(s) at the 

above address or delivered to the 

receptionist for OPIC between 8:45 a.m. 

and 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

excluding legal public holidays. The 

request must include the individual’s 

name, SSN, or other information that 

may be in the system of records that will 

identify him/her. The request must be 

accompanied by a document that serves 

as proof of identity, such as a driver’s 

license, identification card, passport, 

employee identification card or some 

other means of identification. 

Prior to providing any individual 

either with notification of, access to or 

copies of any records maintained by 

OPIC that contain information to said 

individual, the Director, HRM must 

verify the identity of such individual. 

Examples of reasonable proof of 

identity include a valid driver’s license, 

identification card, passport, employee 

identification card and any other 

identifying information. The Director, 

HRM shall deny any such request from 

any individual if he determines, in his 

sole discretion, that the evidence offered 

to verify the identity of such individual 

is insufficient to establish conclusively 

the identity of such individual. Upon 

denying any such request, the Director, 

HRM shall promptly notify the 

individual in writing of such 

determination. 

In the event the Director, HRM 

declines a request because the 

individual has not provided adequate 

evidence to verify his identity, said 

individual may, within 30 days of such 

determination, file a written appeal to 

the Executive Vice President of OPIC. 

Copies of records will be furnished 

upon payment of the fees prescribed in 

22 CFR 707.23. Copies of records made 

available for review may be released to 

a duly authorized representative, signed 

by such individual and duly 

acknowledged before a notary public or 

other authorized public official. 

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES: 

Access to records maintained by OPIC 

will be provided only by appointment. 

Access to any records maintained by 

OPIC will not be provided any 

individual until OPIC has received from 

such individual a written request. See 

notification procedures for written 

request requirements and verification of 

the identity of the individual. 

Requesters must also state the date and 

hour the individual wishes such an 

appointment, and whether the 

individual wishes to receive copies of 

the records. 

OPIC may require any individual who 

wishes to be accompanied by any other 

individual when reviewing any records 

to provide a signed, written statement 

authorizing discussion of the 

information contained in such records 

in the presence of such accompanying 

individual. 

CONTESTING RECORDS PROCEDURES: 

Same as notification procedures. Also, 

requesters should reasonably identify 

the record, specify the information they 

are contesting and the correction action 

sought, and the reasons for the 

16432 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 68 / Friday, April 10, 2009 / Notices 

correction, with supporting justification 

showing how the record is incomplete, 

untimely, inaccurate or irrelevant. This 

procedure is in accordance with OPIC 

Regulations (22 CFR 707.22).

SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION 

Development Company Loan 

Program—Job Opportunity 

Requirement 

AGENCY: U.S. Small Business 

Administration. 

ACTION: Notice, changing of job 

requirements. 

SUMMARY: This Notice specifies the job 

creation or retention requirements 

under SBA’s Development Company 

Loan Program (504 Program), and the 

changes made to these requirements by 

the American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act of 2009. 

DATES: Effective Date: This notice is 

effective April 10, 2009. 

Applicability Date: The changes to the 

job creation or retention standards made 

by the American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act that are specified in 

this notice apply to new loan 

applications received on or after 

February 17, 2009. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The 

SBA district office nearest you; the list 

of offices can be found at http:// 

www.sba.gov/localresources/index.html. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the Recovery 

Act), Public Law 111–05, was enacted 

on February 17, 2009 to among other 

things, promote economic recovery by 

preserving and creating jobs, and 

assisting those most impacted by the 

severe economic conditions facing the 

nation. Among ARRA’s several 

initiatives to re-invigorate small 

businesses is the revision of the job 

creation goals of SBA’s 504 Program. 

The purpose of the 504 Program is to 

foster economic development and create 

and preserve job opportunities in both 

urban and rural areas by providing longterm financing for small business 

concerns. Loans made under the 504 

Program are principally used by small 

businesses to build or to purchase longterm fixed assets (mostly acquiring land 

and constructing or renovating 

commercial buildings) to assist in the 

growth of the business. 

II. Job Creation or Retention 

Requirements 

Under the 504 Program, a 504 loan is 

required to create or retain a minimum 

number of jobs within two years of the 

disbursement of the loan as a result of 

the project or to meet other defined 

economic development objectives (13 

CFR 120.861–120.862). 

The standards for determining 

whether a project meets the job creation 

or retention requirements are set forth in 

section 501(e) of the Small Business 

Investment Act. 

In the Section 504 Loan Application, 

the borrower will enter the number of 

jobs to be created or retained as a result 

of the project and the CDC will verify 

that it meets the job creation or 

retention requirements. In addition, the 

job impact data will continue to be 

entered into SBA’s database, and the 

application data combined with data 

from annual CDC reports will be used to 

report the total number of jobs created 

or retained. 

To stimulate the growth of small 

business and create more job 

opportunities, section 504(b) of the 

Recovery Act, amends the minimum 

number of jobs that are required to be 

created or retained per dollar amount 

guaranteed by SBA by increasing such 

dollar amount from $50,000 to $65,000, 

as follows: 

(1) A Project must create or retain one 

Job Opportunity per $65,000 of 504 loan 

funding, or 

(2) For Projects that are eligible under 

the 504 Program under 13 CFR 120.862, 

a CDC’s portfolio must reflect an average 

of one Job Opportunity for every 

$65,000 guaranteed by SBA. 

The remaining amounts listed below 

are unchanged from the amounts set 

forth in section 501(e)(1) and (3) of the 

Small Business Investment Act of 1958: 

(1) A Project must create or retain one 

Job Opportunity per $100,000 of 504
