BILLING CODE 6210–01–P 

FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM 

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: Board of Governors of the 

Federal Reserve System. 

ACTION: Notice of a modified system of 

records. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the provisions of 

the Privacy Act of 1974, notice is given 

that the Board of Governors of the 

Federal Reserve System (Board) 

proposes to modify an existing system 

of records entitled BGFRS/OIG–2 

‘‘Office of Inspector General (OIG) 

Personnel Records.’’ These records are 

collected and maintained to assist the 

OIG in making determinations regarding 

hiring, retention, promotion, 

performance evaluations, recognition, 

and training of OIG personnel. These 

records are also used to respond to 

ethics inquires and provide advice. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before February 24, 2025. This new 

system of records will become effective 

February 24, 2025, without further 

notice, unless comments dictate 

otherwise. 

The Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB), which has oversight 

responsibility under the Privacy Act, 

requires a 30-day period prior to 

publication in the Federal Register in 

which to review the system and to 

provide any comments to the agency. 

The public is then given a 30-day period 

in which to comment, in accordance 

with 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) and (11). 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by BGFRS/OIG–2: FRB—OIG 

Personnel Records, by any of the 

following methods: 

• Agency Website: https://

submitting comments, including

change and will not be modified to 

remove personal or business 

information including confidential, 

contact, or other identifying 

information. Comments should not 

include any information such as 

confidential information that would be 

not appropriate for public disclosure. 

Public comments may also be viewed

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board 

is amending BGFRS/OIG–2 to reflect 

changes that have occurred since this 

system of records was last amended in 

2008. 

The Board is updating the categories 

of records to include video and audio 

recordings and facilitate the Board OIG’s 

voluntary compliance with certain 

provisions of Executive Order 14074, 

Advancing Effective, Accountable 

Policing and Criminal Justice Practices 

to Enhance Public Trust and Public 

Safety, issued May 25, 2022. Video and 

audio recordings of individuals may be 

captured by OIG criminal investigators 

wearing body cameras during 

investigative operations and may be 

relevant to the OIG’s personnel 

determinations. While such video and 

audio recordings will generally be 

stored in BGFRS/OIG–1, ‘‘FRB—OIG 

Investigative Records,’’ they may be 

duplicated and stored in this OIG 

Personnel records system to the extent 

necessary to assist the OIG in making 

determinations related to hiring, 

retention, promotion, performance 

evaluations, recognition, or training of 

OIG personnel. Accordingly, the Board 

is also adding E.O. 14074 to the list of 

authorities for this system. 

The Board is also updating the 

categories of records included in the 

system to add ethics related records. 

Consistent with this addition, the Board 

is revising the purpose of the system to 

reflect the OIG’s use of the records to 

respond to ethics inquiries and provide 

related advice. Further, the Board is also 

revising the category of individuals 

covered by the system to include 

prospective employees of the OIG. The 

Board is also updating the location of 

the system, the system manager, and the 

access controls. 

In addition, the Board is revising 

system-specific Routine Use 4 and 

deleting system-specific Routine Use 5. 

The Board is deleting the current 

Routine Use 5 as disclosures 

contemplated under that use will now 

be incorporated into revised Routine 

Use 4. The Board is also revising 

system-specific Routine Use 4 regarding 

the audit or review of the OIG’s 


khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with NOTICES
8128 Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 15 / Friday, January 24, 2025 / Notices 

investigatory program by outside 

entities or persons to permit the release 

of individually identifiable information. 

The Board is making this change 

because the OIG may need to be able to 

share identifiable information for an 

audit or review to be effective. In its 

current form, the Routine Use 4 limits 

disclosure to information that is not 

individually identifiable information; 

however, release of information that is 

not individually identifiable is not a 

disclosure of Privacy Act information 

and therefore the Board is revising 

Routine Use 4 to remove this language. 

Finally, the revision to system-specific 

Routine Use 4 also accounts for the 

technical amendments to the Inspector 

General Act of 1978, which replaced the 

Executive Council on Integrity and 

Efficiency and the President’s Council 

on Integrity and Efficiency with the 

Council of the Inspectors General on 

Integrity and Efficiency. 

In order to permit information sharing 

contemplated under E.O. 14074, the 

Board is amending the system to add a 

new routine use, which will be Routine 

Use 5. The new routine use will permit 

the Board to disclose information to a 

federal, state, or local agency 

maintaining civil, criminal, or other 

relevant investigative information for 

purposes of data collection on OIG law 

enforcement activities. This routine use 

will allow the Board to share 

information with various governmentwide databases, such as the FBI 

National Use-of-Force Data Database, to 

enhance public trust and public safety. 

The Board is also making technical 

changes to BFRS/OIG–2 consistent with 

the template laid out in OMB Circular 

No. A–108. Accordingly, the Board is 

making technical corrections and nonsubstantive language revisions to the 

following categories: ‘‘Policies and 

Practices for Storage of Records,’’ 

‘‘Policies and Practices for Retrieval of 

Records,’’ ‘‘Policies and Practices for 

Retention and Disposal of Records,’’ 

‘‘Administrative, Technical and 

Physical Safeguards,’’ ‘‘Record Access 

Procedures,’’ ‘‘Contesting Record 

Procedures’’ and ‘‘Notification 

Procedures.’’ The Board is also adding 

the following new fields: ‘‘Security 

Classification’’ and ‘‘History.’’

contains but is not limited to personnelrelated information such as appraisals of 

past performance, the results of tests,

Department of Defense, the National 

Security Agency, the Central 

Intelligence Agency, and the Federal

requested; 

3. information in producing summary 

descriptive statistics and analytical 

studies to support the function for 

which the records are collected and 

maintained, or for related workforce 

studies (While published statistics and 

studies do not contain individual 

identifiers, in some instances the 

selection of elements of data included in 

the study may be structured in such a 

way as to make the data individually 

identifiable by inference.); 

4. information to other federal 

entities, such as other federal OIGs or

safeguards for the information; and

local agency maintaining civil, criminal
