PENSION BENEFIT GUARANTY CORPORATION


Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.

ACTION: Notice of a new routine use of records for PBGC-3, Employee 
Payroll, Leave and Attendance Records--PBGC.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation is proposing a new 
routine use of records for a system of records maintained pursuant to 
the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, entitled PBGC-3, Employee Payroll, 
Leave and Attendance Records--PBGC. The new routine use will permit 
disclosure of records to the United States Department of the Interior 
to effect payments to employees.

DATES: Comments on the new routine use must be received on or before 
May 24, 1996. The new routine use will become effective June 10, 1996, 
without further notice, unless comments result in a contrary 
determination and a notice is published to that effect.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to the Office of the General Counsel, 
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, 1200 K Street, NW., Washington, 
DC 20005-4026, or hand-delivered to Suite 340 at the above address 
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Comments will be 
available for inspection at the PBGC's Communications and Public 
Affairs Department, Suite 240, at the above address between 9 a.m. and 
4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: D. Bruce Campbell, Attorney, Pension 
Benefit Guaranty Corporation, Office of the General Counsel, 1200 K 
Street, NW., Washington, DC 20005-4026, 202-326-4123 (202-326-4179 for 
TTY and TDD). These are not toll-free numbers.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PBGC maintains certain personnel and 
payroll information in a Privacy Act system of records entitled PBGC-3, 
Employee, Payroll, Leave and Attendance files--PBGC. Certain payroll 
and personnel services are performed for the PBGC by the United States 
Department of Labor (``DOL''). Routine use 1 to PBGC-3 permits 
disclosure of records to DOL ``to effect payments to employees.''
    Beginning in July 1996, the PBGC is implementing a new personnel 
and payroll system utilizing the United States Department of the 
Interior's (``DOI's'') personnel and payroll processing system. 
Accordingly, PBGC is establishing a new routine use of records for 
PBGC-3, routine use 2, that will permit disclosure of records ``to the 
United States Department of the Interior to effect payments to 
employees.'' When testing of the PBGC's new personnel and payroll 
system is complete and services are provided exclusively by DOI, the 
PBGC will cease disclosing records to DOL and publish a Federal 
Register notice deleting routine use 1 from PBGC-3.
    For the convenience of the public, PBGC-3, as amended, is published 
in full below with new routine use 2 italicized.

    Issued in Washington, DC this 18 day of April, 1996.
