BILLING CODE 7510–01–M

NATIONAL CREDIT UNION

ADMINISTRATION

Privacy Act of 1974; Amendment to an

Existing System of Records

AGENCY: National Credit Union

Administration.

ACTION: Amendment to an existing

system of records.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

Privacy Act of 1974 (Privacy Act), the

National Credit Union Administration

(NCUA or NCUA Board) is publishing

amendments to the existing system of

records entitled Investigative Reports

Involving Any Crime or Suspected

Crime against a Credit Union, NCUA

(NCUA 15) and is amending appendix B

to its System of Records. The changes to

NCUA 15 reflect a new interagency

suspicious activity reporting process,

combining the criminal referral and

suspicious financial transactions

reporting requirements of the federal

financial regulatory agencies and the

U.S. Department of the Treasury

(Treasury), and involving the use of a

new computerized database maintained

by the Financial Crimes Enforcement

Network (FinCEN), of the Treasury, on

behalf of these agencies and Treasury.

Additional changes are made to NCUA

15 to update the system. The changes to

appendix B (which applies to all of

NCUA Systems of Records) updates the

listing of NCUA regional offices and the

states covered by each region.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The revised system will

become effective without further notice

on April 1, 1996, unless comments

postmarked, received or posted on

NCUA’s Electronic Bulletin Board on or

before April 1 cause a contrary decision.

If based on NCUA’s review of comments

received, changes are made, NCUA will

publish a new notice.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Hattie M. Ulan, Special Counsel to the

General Counsel, NCUA, 1775 Duke

Street, Alexandria, VA 22314–3428.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section

(e)(4) of the Privacy Act of 1974, 5

U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) (Privacy Act), requires

each agency to publish a notice of the

establishment of or revision to each

system of records maintained by the

agency. The NCUA Board is amending

existing system NCUA 15 by changing

its name from ‘‘Investigative Reports

Involving Any Crime or Suspected

Crime Against a Credit Union, NCUA’’

to ‘‘Investigative Reports Involving Any

Crime, Suspected Crime or Suspicious

Activity Against a Credit Union,

NCUA.’’ Other changes to the system are

discussed below. Exemption rules

promulgated pursuant to exemption

(k)(2) of the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C.

552a(k)(2), continue to apply for the

amended system.

Certain of the changes to the system

reflect an agreement between FinCEN

and the NCUA Board, the Office of the

Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation

(FDIC), the Office of Thrift Supervision

(OTS), and the Federal Reserve Board

(FRB) (the federal financial regulatory

agencies) to store Suspicious Activity

Reports (SAR) in electronic form in a

database maintained by FinCEN and

located in Detroit, Michigan. The SAR is

being adopted by all federal financial

regulatory agencies and by the Treasury

as a replacement for the Criminal

Referral Form, which has been in use by

financial institutions to report suspected

criminal activity by individuals to the

federal financial regulatory agencies and

the federal law enforcement authorities

(see FRB, OCC and OTS proposed

rulemakings at 60 FR 34481, July 3,

1995; 60 FR 34476, July 3, 1995; and 60

FR 36366, July 17, 1995; respectively).

NCUA will be amending its criminal

referral form regulation (12 CFR part

748) at a later date. Information from the

Criminal Referral Form has always been

included in the existing system and

similar information will continue to be

collected by the SAR. In addition to

reports of suspected criminal activity,

the SAR will also allow a credit union

or other financial institution to report

suspicious financial transactions under

federal money laundering statutes,

pursuant to Treasury regulations, (31

CFR part 103). Some of this information

is currently reported on currency

transaction reports required to be filed

by financial institutions. Only the

information collected by the SAR, and

its status updates, will be located in the

database maintained by FinCEN; all

other information in the system will be

located at the NCUA.

Pursuant to the interagency agreement

between FinCEN and the federal

financial regulatory agencies, FinCEN

will manage a computerized database

containing the SAR and status updates,

which is information currently collected

and/or maintained separately by each of

the federal financial regulatory agencies.

With regard to this database, only those

records that are generated under the

jurisdiction of the NCUA Board are

considered to be NCUA records for

purposes of the Privacy Act. Access to

and use of these NCUA records by other

agencies will continue to be governed

by the routine uses in NCUA’s System

15.

Accordingly, the ‘‘Routine Uses’’

element is being amended to reflect the

sharing among federal financial

regulatory agencies and law

enforcement agencies of the information

collected by the SAR and the status

updates. Additionally, the ‘‘Safeguards’’

element is amended to add that on-line

access to the computerized database

maintained by FinCEN is limited to

authorized individuals who have been

specified by each federal financial

regulatory agency and Treasury, and

who have been issued a nontransferable

identifier or password.

Other amendments reflect an overall

update to the system including the

addition of ‘‘persons participating in the

affairs of a credit union’’ as a category

of individuals covered by the system;

the addition of a paragraph explaining

the purpose of the system; the addition

of several routine uses and record

source categories; and changes in the

system manager and address. The

exemption for this system of records

continues to be (k)(2), because the

information consists of investigatory

material compiled for law enforcement

purposes.

The NCUA Board is also updating

appendix B to its Systems of Records, to

reflect correct addresses for the six

NCUA regional offices and the states

covered by each.
8690 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 44 / Tuesday, March 5, 1996 / Notices

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(r), a

report of this amended system of

records is being filed with the President

of the Senate, the Speaker of the House

of Representatives, and the Director of

the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB). OMB has oversight authority

over agency implementation of the

Privacy Act. This amended system of

records will become effective on April

1, 1996, without further notice, unless

the Board publishes a notice to the

contrary in the Federal Register.

Accordingly, the Board has amended

the system of records NCUA 15, newly

entitled ‘‘Investigative Reports Involving

Any Crimes, Suspected Crime or

Suspicious Activity Against a Credit

Union, NCUA’’, and appendix B to its

Systems of Records as follows:

NCUA–15

SYSTEM NAME:

Investigative Reports Involving Any

Crime, Suspected Crime or Suspicious

Activity Against a Credit Union, NCUA.

SYSTEM LOCATION:

Office of General Counsel, National

Credit Union Administration, 1775

Duke Street, Alexandria, VA 22314–

3428. Computerized records of

Suspicious Activity Reports (SAR), with

status updates, are managed by the

Financial Crimes Enforcement Network

(FinCEN), Department of the Treasury,

pursuant to a contractual agreement,

and are stored in Detroit, Michigan.

Authorized personnel at NCUA’s

Central Office and six regional offices

have on-line access to the computerized

database managed by FinCEN through

individual work stations that are linked

to the database central computer.

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM:

Directors, officers, committee

members, employees, agents, and

persons participating in the conduct of

the affairs of federally insured credit

unions who are reported to be involved

in suspected criminal activity or

suspicious financial transactions and

are referred to law enforcement officials;

and other individuals who have been

involved in irregularities, violations of

law, or unsafe or unsound practices

referenced in documents received by the

NCUA in the course of exercising its

supervisory functions.

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:

Inter- and intra-agency

correspondence, memoranda and

reports. The SAR contains information

identifying the credit union involved,

the suspected person, the type of

suspicious activity involved, and any

witnesses.

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:

12 U.S.C. 1786 and 1789.

PURPOSE(S):

The overall system serves as a NCUA

repository for investigatory or

enforcement information related to its

responsibility to examine and supervise

federally insured credit unions. The

system maintained by FinCEN serves as

the database for the cooperative storage,

retrieval, analysis, and use of

information relating to Suspicious

Activity Reports made to or by the

NCUA Board, the Federal Reserve

Board, the Office of the Comptroller of

the Currency, the Federal Deposit

Insurance Corporation, the Office of

Thrift Supervision, (collectively, the

federal financial regulatory agencies),

and FinCEN to various law enforcement

agencies for possible criminal, civil, or

administrative proceedings based on

known or suspected violations affecting

or involving persons, financial

institutions, or other entities under the

supervision or jurisdiction of such

federal financial regulatory agencies.

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS, AND

THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:

Information in these records may be

used to:

(1) Determine if any further agency

action should be taken.

(2) Provide the federal financial

regulatory agencies and FinCEN with

information relevant to their operations;

(3) Disclose information to third

parties during the course of an

investigation to the extent necessary to

obtain information pertinent to the

investigation;

(4) With regard to formal or informal

enforcement actions; release

information pursuant to 12 U.S.C.

1786(s), which requires the NCUA

Board to publish and make available to

the public final orders and written

agreements, and modifications thereto;

and

(5) Standard routine uses as set forth

in appendix A.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING,

RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND

DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:

STORAGE:

The records will be maintained in

electronic data processing systems and

paper files.

RETRIEVABILITY:

SAFEGUARDS:

Paper records and word processing

discs are stored at the NCUA in lockable

metal file cabinets. The database

maintained by FinCEN complies with

applicable security requirements of the

Department of the Treasury. On-line

access to the information in the database

is limited to authorized individuals who

have been designated by each federal

financial regulatory agency and FinCEN,

and each such individual has been

issued a nontransferable identifier or

password.

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:

Records are maintained indefinitely.

SYSTEM MANAGER(S) AND ADDRESS:
