Amendment to an Existing Privacy Act 

System of Records; Inventory 

Management System (IMS) (Formerly— 

The Public and Indian Housing 

Information Center (PIC)) 

AGENCY: Office of the Chief Information 

Officer, HUD. 

ACTION: Notification of an Amendment 

to a Privacy Act System of Records. 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 194 / Monday, October 6, 2008 / Notices 58257 

SUMMARY: The Department of Housing 

and Urban Development (HUD) 

proposes to amend one of its Privacy 

Act record systems subject to the 

Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), as 

amended. The amendment is to reflect 

changes in the system name, location, 

new system managers and current 

updates to the ‘‘Purpose’’ and ‘‘Systems 

Security Measures’’ statements. This 

system is managed and operated by 

HUD’s Office of Public and Indian 

Housing. IMS replaces the former Public 

and Indian Housing Information Center 

(PIC) system. The notice for the PIC 

system was published at 67 FR 20986. 

This record system supports the 

administration of programs for families 

receiving housing assistance for those 

entities that administer HUD’s Office of 

Public and Indian Housing rental 

assistance programs. The entities that 

administer PIH’s rental assistance 

programs are the Public Housing 

Authorities (PHAs). Additionally, as 

part of HUD’s oversight responsibility, 

the collected data maintained in IMS is 

used to calculate the amount of subsidy 

authorized and disbursed to PHAs and 

to monitor PHAs’ overall performance 

and use of HUD funds. The existing 

scope, objectives, and business 

processes in place for this program 

remain unchanged. 

System Security Measures: The 

availability and data in IMS are 

important. Much of the data needs to be 

protected from unanticipated or 

unintentional modification. HUD 

restricts the use of the information to 

HUD’s oversight responsibility, and 

access to the IMS is controlled by using 

the Web Access Security System 

(WASS) security module, which 

requires users to use the single sign-on 

security interface. WASS consists of a 

secure connection component and a 

secure systems component. WASS 

provides an overall security umbrella 

for thousands of HUD-wide system 

users. The secure connection 

component of WASS includes online 

registration forms that are accessible via 

the World Wide Web and are used by 

HUD’s trusted Business Partners to 

submit requests for the authority to 

access secure systems that reside behind 

HUD’s firewall. The data captured by 

the secure connection registration page 

is used to establish authorized user on 

the Lightweight Directory Access 

Protocol (LDAP) server. Secure 

connection provides system level 

security by validating users against the 

LDAP server prior to providing users 

access to HUD’s Secure System 

environment from the internet by: (1) 

The WASS module controls a user’s 

access, updates access, read-only access, 

and approval access based on the user’s 

role and security access level; (2) 

unauthorized system access is reduced 

by restricting access by job function and 

by the use of user identifications (User 

IDs) and password and user IDs that are 

utilized to identify the transaction by 

users; (3) inaccurate and incomplete 

data are identified and eliminated with 

extensive edits; and (4) data corruption/ 

destruction is handled by limiting user 

IDs that have update rights to the 

production server/databases. 

Data Quality: PHAs enter 

management, building and unit 

inventory details, and family 

information into IMS. Family data 

includes the families’ names, social 

security numbers (SSN), and dates of 

birth. The social security number search 

feature was established to help HUD 

maintain data quality and integrity and 

to support one of its strategic objectives 

to prevent fraud and abuse. This search 

feature: (1) Helps to confirm that those 

families entitled to benefits receive 

benefits; (2) assists in limiting the 

duplication of benefits; and (3) helps to 

prevent submission of false applications 

for benefits, thereby ensuring data 

quality. 

DATES: Effective Date: This action shall 

be effective without further notice on 

November 5, 2008 unless comments are 

received that would result in a contrary 

determination. 

Comments Due Date: November 5, 

2008. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are 

invited to submit comments regarding 

this notice to the Rules Docket Clerk, 

Office of General Counsel, Room 10276, 

Department of Housing and Urban 

Development, 451 7th Street, SW., 

Washington, DC 20410. 

Communications should refer to the 

above docket number and title. A copy 

of each communication submitted will 

be available for public inspection and 

copying between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. 

weekdays at the above address.

SYSTEM NAME: 

Inventory Management System (IMS) 

formerly known as the Public and 

Indian Housing (PIH) Information 

Center (PIC). 

SYSTEM LOCATION: 

IMS system servers are located in 

Charleston, WV; and access is through 

the Internet. The servers are maintained 

by HUD Information Technology 

Services (HITS) contractor, and HUD’s 

information technology partners: 

Electronic Data Services (EDS) and 

Lockheed Martin. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM: 

Families receiving rental housing 

assistance via programs administered by 

the Department of Housing and Urban 

Development, State Agencies, PHAs. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

Categories of records in the system: 

Records consist of automated building 

and unit inventory details, family 

composition details, income, and rent 

data obtained from PHAs. More 

specifically, the system of records 

contains: Identification information 

such as names and social security 

numbers for individuals 6 years and 

older; alien registration information; 

address and tenant unit numbers; 

financial data such as income, 

adjustments to income, tenant family 

composition characteristics such as 

family size, sex of family members, 

information about the family that would 

qualify them for certain adjustments or 

for admission to a project limited to a 

special population (e.g., elderly, 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
58258 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 194 / Monday, October 6, 2008 / Notices 

handicapped, or disabled); relationships 

of members of the household to the 

head of household (e.g., spouse, child); 

preferences applicable to the family at 

admission; income status at admission; 

race and ethnicity of household 

members; unit characteristics such as 

number of bedrooms; geographic data 

obtained by the PHA. 

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

• The U.S. Housing Act of 1937, as 

amended, 42 U.S.C. 1437 et seq; 

• The Housing Community 

Development Act of 1981, Public Law 

97–35, 85 stat., 348,408 requires 

applicants and residents to provide the 

information collected; and 

• The Housing and Community 

Development Act of 1987, 42 U.S.C. 

3543, requires applicants and residents 

to provide the SSN(s) of household 

members at least six (6) years old. 

• Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 

1962 (42 U.S.C. 2000d), and by the Fair 

Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 3601–19). 

PURPOSE: 

An applicant for public housing 

completes or a PHA representative 

assists in filling out an application that 

determines an applicant’s eligibility for 

public housing assistance. The 

following information assists in the 

eligibility determination: (1) Names of 

all persons who will be living in the 

unit, their sex, race, date of birth, and 

relationship to the family head; (2) 

Present address and telephone number; 

(3) Family characteristics (e.g., veteran) 

or circumstances (e.g., living in 

substandard housing) that might qualify 

the family for tenant selection 

preferences) or disability; (4) Names and 

addresses of current and previous 

landlords for information concerning 

the family’s suitability as a tenant; (5) 

An estimate of the family’s anticipated 

income for the next twelve months and 

the sources of that income; (6) The 

names and addresses of employers, 

banks, and any other information the 

PHA would need to verify income and 

deductions, and to verify the family 

composition. A housing official may 

visit the present home to interview the 

applicant and applicant’s family 

members to see how the present home 

is managed and maintained. 

IMS also allows PHAs to 

electronically submit information to 

HUD that is related to the 

administration of HUD’s Public and 

Indian Housing programs. It collects 

data for PIH operations, including data 

submitted via the Internet from HUD’s 

field offices and HUD’s business 

partners, and accurately tracks activities 

and processes. IMS also helps to 

increase sharing of information 

throughout the Office of Public and 

Indian Housing, which improves staff 

awareness of activities related to the 

administration of HUD-subsidized 

housing programs. IMS is a flexible, 

scaleable, Internet-based integrated 

system, which enables PHA users and 

HUD personnel to access a common 

database of PHA information via their 

web browser. IMS aids HUD and entities 

that administer HUD’s assisted housing 

programs in: (a) Increasing the effective 

distribution of rental assistance to 

individuals that meet the requirements 

of Federal rental assistance programs; 

(b) Detecting abuses in assisted housing 

programs; (c) Taking administrative or 

legal actions to resolve past abuses of 

assisted housing programs; (d) Deterring 

abuses by verifying the employment and 

income of applicants and tenants at the 

time of occupancy and at re-certification 

via the PIH–REAC Enterprise Income 

Verification (EIV); (e) evaluating the 

effectiveness of income discrepancy 

resolution actions taken by PHAs for 

HUD’s rental assistance programs; (f) 

Evaluating program effectiveness; (g) 

Improving the reporting rate; (h) 

Forecasting budgets; (i) Controlling 

funds; and (j) Updating building and 

unit data. The Public and Indian 

Housing’s IMSystem serves as a 

repository for automated information 

used when comparing family income 

data reported, by recipients of Federal 

rental assistance, to income data 

received from external sources.

STORAGE: 

Records are stored manually in family 

case files in the PHAs and electronically 

in office automation equipment. 

Records are stored on HUD computer 

servers for field office and public 

housing agencies’ access via the Internet 

to: (1) Obtain social security and 

supplemental security income data that 

are not subject to provisions of 26 U.S.C. 

6103; and (2) update actions taken in 

resolving income discrepancies.

SAFEGUARDS: 

These are the measures used to 

protect the records from unauthorized 

access or disclosure: 

1. The REAC–IT Web Access Secure 

SubSystem (WASS) provides audit 

logging for all system access via WASS’s 

authentication of all users. Audit 

logging in WASS includes a keystroke 

logger which covers every keystroke of 

any user with in WASS. 

2. WASS provides authentication 

methods that meet NIST requirements. 

Every user has a WASS ID and is 

authenticated via WASS. 

3. The IMS System maintains record 

of each user’s logons, logoffs, and logoff 

exceptions if any. 

4. For each user, IMS system logs the 

number requests for web pages 

containing privacy data. The number of 

page view requests are tracked per page 

per session. The first and last timestamp 

of access for every privacy page is also 

recorded per session. 

5. IMS system archives the user 

privileges data when a user is removed 

from the system or when the unmasked 

privacy data viewing privileges are 

modified. 

6. Hard copy records are stored in 

lock file cabinets in rooms to which 

access is limited to those personnel who 

service the records. 

7. Background screening, limited 

authorization and access with access 

limited to authorize personnel.
