SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 2008, 

Congress established CIGIE as an 

independent entity within the executive 

branch in order to address integrity, 

economy, and effectiveness issues that 

transcend individual Government 

agencies; and increase the 

professionalism and effectiveness of 

personnel by developing policies, 

standards, and approaches to aid in the 

establishment of a well-trained and 

highly skilled workforce in the offices of 

the Inspector General. CIGIE’s 

membership is comprised of all 

Inspectors General whose offices are 

established under the Inspector General 

Act of 1978, as amended, 5 U.S.C. app, 

as well as the Controller of the Office of 

Federal Financial Management, a 

designated official of the Federal Bureau 

of Investigation, the Director of the 

Office of Government Ethics, the Special 

Counsel of the Office of Special 

Counsel, the Deputy Director of the 

Office of Personnel Management, the 

Deputy Director for Management of the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB), and the Inspectors General of 

the Office of the Director of National 

Intelligence, Central Intelligence 

Agency, Library of Congress, Capitol 

Police, Government Publishing Office, 

Government Accountability Office, and 

the Architect of the Capitol. The Deputy 

Director for Management of OMB serves 

as the Executive Chairperson of CIGIE. 

The new system of records described 

in this notice, CIGIE—3—Employeerelated Records System, will enable 

CIGIE to more efficiently track current, 

former, and prospective employeerelated records. In accordance with 5 

U.S.C. 552a(r), CIGIE has provided a 

report of this new system of records to 

the OMB and to Congress. The new 

system of records reads as follows:

SYSTEM MANAGER(S): 

Executive Director, Council of the 

Inspectors General on Integrity and 

Efficiency, 1717 H Street NW., Suite 

825, Washington, DC 20006. 

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

Section 11 of the Inspector General 

Act of 1978, as amended, 5 U.S.C. app 

(IG Act); 5 U.S.C. 301; 44 U.S.C. 3101. 

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM: 

This system of records is primarily 

maintained to perform agency functions 

related to general management of CIGIE 

personnel, including, but not limited to, 

employee training, leave, attendance, 

and payments, including determinations 

relating to the amounts to be paid to 

employees, the distribution of pay 

according to employee directions (for 

allotments, to financial institutions, and 

for other authorized purposes), and for 

tax withholdings and other authorized 

deductions. The system is also used to 

facilitate communication between CIGIE 

employees, initiate personnel actions, 

counsel employees on their 

performance, and propose disciplinary 

action. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM: 

Current and former employees of 

CIGIE, individuals detailed to CIGIE, 

and applicants for employment at 

CIGIE. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

This system of records includes 

personnel information regarding current 

CIGIE employees, former CIGIE 

employees, prospective CIGIE 

employees, and individuals detailed to 

CIGIE. Such personnel information may 

include: Name; addresses; telephone 

numbers; Social Security number; duty 

location; position data; time, 

attendance, and leave information; 

payroll information; awards and bonus 

information; professional registrations; 

qualifications; training history; 

employment history; counseling; 

reprimands; grievances; work 

assignments; and injuries. 

The system’s records contain but are 

not limited to the following information 

about the individual’s time, attendance, 

and leave: The number and type of 

hours worked; overtime information, 

including compensatory or credit time 

earned and used; compensatory travel 

earned; leave requests, balances, and 

credits; leave charge codes; and medical 

records as they pertain to employee 

medical leave. 

The system’s records contain but are 

not limited to the following information 

about an individual’s payroll: Marital

51410 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 213 / Monday, November 6, 2017 / Notices 

status and number of dependents; child 

support enforcement court orders; 

information about taxes and other 

deductions; debts owed to CIGIE and 

garnishment information; salary data; 

retirement data; Thrift Savings Plan 

contribution and loan amount; and 

direct deposit information, including 

financial institution. 

The system does not include records 

covered by government-wide systems of 

record, including, but not limited to, 

applicable government-wide systems of 

record established by the U.S. Office of 

Personnel Management (OPM), U.S. 

Department of Labor (DOL), U.S. Equal 

Employment Opportunity Commission 

(EEOC), General Services 

Administration (GSA), U.S. Merit 

Systems Protection Board (MSPB), U.S. 

Office of Government Ethics, and U.S. 

Office of Special Counsel (OSC). 

Additionally, the system does not 

include CIGIE current and former 

employee records maintained by GSA 

and covered by GSA’s GSA/Agency-1: 

Employee-Related Files system of record 

as a result of GSA’s provision of payroll 

and other services to CIGIE. When 

records in the custody of CIGIE are 

covered in a record system published by 

another Federal agency as a 

government-wide record system, or by 

GSA/Agency-1, they are considered part 

of that system. 

RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES: 

The sources for the information are 

individuals themselves; other 

employees; other personnel records; 

Federal, State, and local agencies; 

private entities; and private citizens.

may disclose those records to the DOJ. 

CIGIE may make such a disclosure if 

one of the following parties is involved 

in the litigation or has an interest in the 

litigation: 

1. CIGIE or any component thereof; or 

2. Any employee or former employee 

of CIGIE in his or her official capacity; 

or

of CIGIE in his or her individual 

capacity when the DOJ has agreed to 

represent the employee; or 

4. The United States, if CIGIE 

determines that litigation is likely to 

affect CIGIE or any of its components. 

C. If disclosure of certain records to a 

court, adjudicative body before which 

CIGIE is authorized to appear, 

individual or entity designated by CIGIE 

or otherwise empowered to resolve 

disputes, counsel or other 

representative, party, or potential 

witness is relevant and necessary to 

litigation and is compatible with the 

purpose for which the records were 

collected, CIGIE may disclose those 

records to the court, adjudicative body, 

individual or entity, counsel or other 

representative, party, or potential 

witness. CIGIE may make such a 

disclosure if one of the following parties 

is involved in the litigation or has an 

interest in the litigation: 

1. CIGIE or any component thereof; or 

2. Any employee or former employee 

of CIGIE in his or her official capacity;

a statute, rule, regulation, or order, if the 

information is relevant to a violation or 

potential violation of civil or criminal 

law or regulation within the jurisdiction 

of the receiving entity. 

E. To officials and employees of any 

Federal agency to the extent the record 

contains information that is relevant to

other activity for CIGIE and who have a 

need to access the information in the 

performance of their duties or activities 

for CIGIE. 

H. To appropriate agencies, entities, 

and persons when: CIGIE suspects or 

has confirmed that there has been a 

breach of the system of records; CIGIE 

has determined that as a result of the 

suspected or confirmed breach there is 

a risk of harm to individuals, CIGIE 

(including its information systems, 

programs, and operations), the Federal 

Government, or national security; and 

the disclosure made to such agencies, 

entities, and persons is reasonably 

necessary to assist in connection with 

CIGIE’s efforts to respond to the 

suspected or confirmed breach or to 

prevent, minimize, or remedy such 

harm. 

I. To another Federal agency or 

Federal entity, when: CIGIE determines 

that information from this system of 

records is reasonably necessary to assist 

the recipient agency or entity in 

responding to a suspected or confirmed 

breach; or preventing, minimizing, or 

remedying the risk of harm to 

individuals, the recipient agency or 

entity (including its information 

systems, programs, and operations), the 

Federal Government, or national 

security, resulting from a suspected or 

confirmed breach. 

J. To Federal agencies and 

independent certified public accounting 

firms that have a need for the 

information in order to audit the 

financial statements of CIGIE. 

K. To an organization or an individual 

in the public or private sector if there is 

reason to believe the recipient is or 

could become the target of a particular 

criminal activity or conspiracy, or to the 

extent the information is relevant to the 

protection or life or property. 

L. To officials, members, and
