CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
    The system maintains an inventory of government owned and leased 
property and includes:

limited to, names, addresses, social security numbers, and bank account 
numbers), including sole proprietors who are designated as Lessors, or 
the sole proprietor's designee who is authorized to receive payments 
for the lease, designated as Lease Payee.
    b. Internal communications that reference the Lessors and Lease 
Payees.

AUTHORITIES FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:

    System information may be accessed and used by authorized GSA 
employees or contractors in the conduct of official duties associated 
with the tracking and administration of leased property. The 
information may be shared with the following GSA property management 
systems: Business Information Solution, Occupancy Agreement Tool, and 
Data Gateway. Information from this system also may be disclosed as a 
routine use:
    a. In any legal proceeding, where pertinent, to which GSA is a 
party before a court or administrative body.
    b. To a Federal, State, local, or foreign agency responsible for 
investigating, prosecuting, enforcing, or carrying out a statute, rule, 
regulation, or order when GSA becomes aware of a violation or potential 
violation of civil or criminal law or regulation.

settling a grievance, complaint, or appeal filed by an individual who

performance of a Federal duty to which the information is relevant.
    g. To the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) for 
records management purposes.
    h. To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when (1) the 
Agency suspects or has confirmed that the security or confidentiality 
of information in the system of records has been compromised; (2) the 
Agency has determined that as a result of the suspected or confirmed 
compromise there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, 
identity theft or fraud, or harm to the security or integrity of this 
system or other systems or programs (whether maintained by GSA or 
another agency or entity) that rely upon the compromised information; 
and (3) the disclosure made to such agencies, entities, and persons is 
reasonably necessary to assist in connection with GSA's efforts to 
respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, 
or remedy such harm.
