DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND 

URBAN DEVELOPMENT 

[Docket No. FR–5763–N–11] 

Implementation of the Privacy Act of 

1974, as Amended; Amendment to 

Existing System of Records—Pay and 

Leave Records of Employees 

AGENCY: Office of the Chief Information 

Officer. 

ACTION: Amendment to System of 

Records. 

SUMMARY: The Department’s Office of 

the Chief Human Capital Officer 

(OCHCO) is proposing to amend its 

‘‘Pay and Leave Records of Employees’’ 

system of records. The system of records 

consists of payroll and time and 

attendance systems for fulfillment of 

payroll, timekeeping and leave 

functions. The OCHCO modifies: The 

authority for and manner in which the 

Pay and Leave Records of Employees 

system of records operates; the 

categories of records in the system, the 

location and address of the system, the 

method by which records are retrieved 

in the system; the retention and disposal 

methods made of the records in the 

system; and adds the purpose(s) for 

which the records are used in the 

system. Additionally, as part of this 

update, OCHCO makes one substantive 

change to the system of records to 

authorize the forthcoming transition of 

HUD’s time and attendance system from 

the Department of Agriculture’s 

National Finance Center (NFC) to the 

Treasury Department’s Bureau of the 

Fiscal Service (BFS). The routine uses 

are being updated to include new 

disclosures of personally identifiable 

information (PII) to Treasury’s BFS and 

to new contract service providers to 

bring the system in compliance with the 

Privacy Act. The Treasury’s BFS is a 

shared service provider that will gain 

access to payroll data and begin testing 

time and attendance data for migration 

of records, and ultimately, hosting of the 

time and attendance system, while the 

payroll function remains at NFC. The 

payroll and leave functions include 

processing all pay matters/issues (e.g., 

overtime, holiday pay, compensatory 

time, compensatory time for travel), 

distribution of wages, distribution of 

allotments and deductions to financial 

and other institutions, some through 

electronic funds transfer, timekeeper 

support, to maintain leave balances and 

provide leave processing services such 

as restored leave, payroll/personnel 

action (e.g. promotions and Reduction 

in Grade personnel actions), receipt 

amount, and administrative 

overpayment processing). This amended 

notice demonstrates the Department’s 

present status of the information 

contained in the systems and new data 

sharing practices. Other non-substantive 

changes to the routine use section and 

throughout the document are being 

added to ensure compliance with the 

Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a. A more 

detailed description of the present 

system is contained in notice ‘‘Purpose’’ 

caption. This notice supersedes the 

previous notice published in the 

Federal Register for ‘‘HUD–34: Pay and 

Leave Records of Employees’’. 

DATES: Effective Date: The proposed 

modification will be effective 

immediately, with the exception of the 

migration of records to the new 

Treasury system and the sharing of 

information to new contractors, which 

will become effective 30 days after 

publication of this notice, on December 

3, 2014, unless comments are received 

that would result in a contrary 

determination. 

Comments Due Date: December 3, 

2014. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are 

invited to submit comments regarding 

this notice to the Rules Docket Clerk, 

Office of the General Counsel, 

Department of Housing and Urban 

Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

system of records is maintained by 

HUD’s Office of the Chief Human 

Capital Officer. The system of records 

includes personally identifiable 

information on HUD employees’ that is 

retrieved from the system by a name or 

unique identifier. Hence, this system of 

records encompasses programs and 

services of the Department’s data 

collection and management practices. 

Publication of this notice allows HUD to 

satisfy its reporting requirement and 

keep an up-to-date accounting of its 

system of records publications. The 

amended system of records will 

incorporate Federal privacy 

requirements and HUD policy 

requirements. The Privacy Act provides 

certain safeguards for an individual 

against an invasion of personal privacy 

by requiring Federal agencies to protect 

records contained in an agency system 

of records from unauthorized 

disclosure, by ensuring that information 

is current and collected only for its 

intended use, and by providing 

adequate safeguards to prevent misuse 

of such information. Additionally, this 

notice demonstrates the Department’s 

focus on industry best practices in 

protecting the personal privacy of the 

individuals covered by this system 

notification. 

This notice states the name and 

location of the record system, the 

authority for and manner of its 

operations, the categories of individuals 

that it covers, the type of records that it 

contains, the sources of the information 

for the records, the routine uses made of 

the records and the type of exemptions 

in place for the records. In addition, this 

notice includes the business addresses 

of the HUD officials who will inform

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, 

RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND

DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

STORAGE: 

Access to the systems is by user ID 

and password. Roles in the systems 

limit the user’s access once in the 

system. Hardcopy records are kept in a 

locked cabinet. 

RETRIEVABILITY: 

Computerized and hard copy records 

are retrieved by the individual’s name 

or Social Security Number. Hardcopy 

records are kept in a locked cabinet. 

SAFEGUARDS: 

Access to the system is safeguarded 

by a user ID and password and is 

restricted to employees who have a need 

to access the system in the performance 

of their duties. Within the system the 

user’s roles determine their access to 

records. Hardcopy records are kept in a 

locked cabinet. 

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: 

All pay and leave records are 

maintained until employees are 

separated from HUD and are then 

retired or transferred to a new 

employing agency or destroyed in 

conformance with appropriate General 

Services Administration retirement and/ 

or destruction Schedules such as the 

General Records Schedules 2 (GRS 2) in 

the following manner: 

• For Payroll and Leave Records— 

OCHCO maintains and disposes of these 

records in accordance with General 

Records Schedule 2 (GRS 2) issued by 

the National Archives and Records 

Administration (NARA). Under the GRS 

2, records are retained for various 

periods. Generally, the records are kept 

from 1 to 6 years, depending on the type 

of record involved. 

• For Garnishment and Levy of Wages 

Records—OCHCO retains these records 

until the expiration of the garnishment 

or levy order or until the employee 

leaves, whichever comes first. In some 

instances that are related to a 

garnishment or levy order, the 

information is destroyed 3 years after 

the termination of the garnishment or 

levy order. 

The disposal of the paper documents, 

records, and files is by shredding. 

Backup and Recovery digital media will 

be destroyed or otherwise rendered 

irrecoverable per NIST SP 800–88 

‘‘Guidelines for Media Sanitization’’ 

(September 2006). This complies with 

all Federal regulations. There are no 

hardcopy records produced that require 

additional archival.
