FEDERAL LABOR RELATIONS

AUTHORITY

Privacy Act of 1974; Amendment of a

System of Records

AGENCY: Federal Labor Relations

Authority.

ACTION: Notice of amendment of system

of records to include new routine uses;

request for comments.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(11)), the

Federal Labor Relations Authority is

issuing notice of its intent to amend the

system of records entitled Pay, Leave

and Travel Records (FLRA/INTERNAL–

15) to include new routine uses

necessitated by the Personal

Responsibility and Work Opportunity

Reconciliation Act of 1996, Pub. L. 104–

193.

DATES: Comments must be received no

later than February 9, 1998. The

proposed amendments concerning

routine uses will become effective as

proposed without further notice on

February 9, 1998 unless comments

ADDRESSES: Interested individuals may

comment on this publication by writing

to Harold D. Kessler, Assistant to

Executive Director, Office of the

Executive Director, Federal Labor

Relations Authority, 607 14th Street,

N.W., Room 415, Washington, D.C.

20424–0001. All comments received

will be available for public inspection at

that address.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Harold D. Kessler, at the address given

above or by telephone: (202) 482–6560.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Discussion of Proposed Additional

Routine Use Necessitated by Pub. L.

104–193

Pursuant to Pub. L. 104–193, the

Personal Responsibility and Work

Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996,

the Federal Labor Relations Authority

(FLRA) will disclose data from its Pay,

Leave and Travel Records system of

records to the Office of Child Support

Enforcement, Administration for

Children and Families, Department of

Health and Human Services, for use in

the National Database of New Hires, part

of the Federal Parent Locator Service

(FPLS) and Federal Tax Offset System,

DHHS/OSCE No. 09–90–0074. A

description of the Federal Parent

Locator Service may be found at 62 FR

51663 (October 2, 1997).

The FPLS is a computerized network

through which states may request

location information from federal and

state agencies to find non-custodial

parents and their employers for

purposes of establishing paternity and

securing support. On October 1, 1997,

the FPLS was expanded to include the

National Directory of New Hires, a

database containing employment

information on employees recently

hired, quarterly wage data on private

and public sector employees, and

information on unemployment

compensation benefits. On October 1,

1998, the FPLS will be expanded further

to include a Federal Case Registry. The

Federal Case Registry will contain

abstracts on all participants involved in

child support enforcement cases. When

the Federal Case Registry is instituted,

its files will be matched on an ongoing

basis against the files in the National

Directory of New Hires to determine if

an employee is a participant in a child

support case anywhere in the country.
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 5 / Thursday, January 8, 1998 / Notices 1111

If the FPLS identifies a person as being

a participant in a state child support

case, that state will be notified. Requests

made by states to the FPLS for location

information will continue to be

processed after October 1, 1998.

When individuals are hired by the

FLRA, either the FLRA or its personnel/

payroll system provider may disclose to

the FPLS such individuals’ names,

social security numbers, home

addresses, dates of birth, dates and

states of hire, and information

identifying the FLRA as the employer.

The FLRA or its personnel/payroll

system provider may also disclose to the

FPLS names, social security numbers,

and quarterly earnings of each FLRA

employee, within one month of the end

of the quarterly reporting period.

Information submitted by or on behalf

of the FLRA to the FPLS will be

disclosed by the Office of Child Support

Enforcement to the Social Security

Administration for verification to ensure

that the social security number provided

is correct. The data disclosed by or on

behalf of the FLRA to the FPLS will also

be disclosed by the Office of Child

Support Enforcement to the Secretary of

the Treasury for use in verifying claims

for the advance payment of the earned

income tax credit or to verify a claim of

employment on a tax return.

II. Compatibility of Proposed Routine

Use Necessitated by Pub. L. 104–193

The FLRA is amending its routine

uses in accordance with the Privacy Act

(5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3)). The Privacy Act

permits the disclosure of information

about individuals without their consent

for a routine use where the information

will be used for a purpose that is

compatible with the purpose for which

the information was originally collected.

The Office of Management and Budget

had indicated that a compatible use is

a use that is necessary and proper. See

OMB Guidelines, 51 FR 18982, 18985

(May 23, 1986). Since the proposed uses

of the data are required by Public Law

104–193, they are clearly necessary and

proper uses, and, therefore,

‘‘compatible’’ uses under the Privacy

Act’s requirements.

III. Effect of Proposed Change

Necessitated by Pub. L. 104–193 on

Individuals

The FLRA will disclose information

under the proposed routine uses only as

required by Pub. L. 104–193 and as

permitted by the Privacy Act.

Disclosure will be made by the FLRA

or its personnel/payroll system

provider.

IV. Other Changes

The FLRA is making another change

required to update the system of

records. Specifically, the notice also

amends the routine uses to add a new

routine use for the disclosure of

information to the FLRA’s personnel/

payroll system provider.

As required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) of the

Privacy Act, the FLRA has sent notice

of this amended system of records to the

Office of Management and Budget, as

well as to the Senate Committee on

Governmental Affairs, and to the House

of Representatives Committee on

Government Reform and Oversight.

Accordingly, the Pay, Leave and

Travel Records (FLRA/INTERNAL–15)

system notice originally published at 45

FR 85316, 85331, (December 24, 1980)

and amended most recently at 60 FR

50202, 50203 (September 28, 1995) is

further amended as follows:

FLRA/Internal–15

* * * * *

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:

These records and information in

these records may be used:

* * * * *

p. To disclose information to

appropriate offices and agencies that are

under an agreement with the Federal

Labor Relations Authority to prepare

pay, leave and travel records, to meet

government payroll recordkeeping and

reporting requirements, and to retrieve

and supply payroll and leave

information as required by the Federal

Labor Relations Authority.

q. To disclose the names, social

security numbers, home addresses,

dates of birth, dates of hire, quarterly

earnings, employer identifying

information, and state of hire of

employees to the Office of Child

Support Enforcement, Administration

for Children and Families, Department

of Health and Human Services, for the

purpose of locating individuals to

establish paternity, establishing and

modifying orders of child support,

identifying sources of income, and for

other child support enforcement actions

as required by the Personal

Responsibility and Work Opportunity

Reconciliation Act (Welfare Reform law,

Pub. L. 104–193).

* * * * *

Dated: January 5, 1998.

For the Authority.

Executive Director, Federal Labor Relations

Authority.
