Description: OTS and the bank regulators, including the Board, adopted the Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) in 1996 to simplify the process through which depository institutions (‘‘banks’’) inform their regulators and law enforcement about suspected criminal activity. The SAR was updated in 1999 and again in 2003. In 1992, the Treasury Department was granted broad authority to require suspicious transaction reporting under the Bank Secrecy Act. See 31 U.S.C. 5318(g). The Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, which has been delegated authority to administer the Bank Secrecy Act, joined with the bank regulators in 1996 in requiring, on a consolidated form (the SAR form), reports of suspicious transactions. See 31 CFR 103.18(a). The filing of SARs is necessary to prevent and detect the laundering of money and other funds at banks. Banks are required to retain a copy of any SAR filed and supporting documentation for the filing of the SAR for five years. See 31 CFR 103.18(d), 31 CFR 103.38 and 12 CFR 563.180(d)(6). These documents are necessary for criminal investigations and prosecutions. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Affected Public: Business or other forprofit. Estimated Number of Respondents: 804. Estimated Number of Responses: 58,821. Estimated Burden Hours per Response: 1 hour for the report; 1.8 hours for retention. Estimated Frequency of Response: On occasion. Estimated Total Burden: 164,698 hours. Clearance Officer: Ira L.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: a. Description of Proposed System of Records VIS is an Intranet-based application that provides a consolidated view of information gathered from the VerDate Nov<24>2008 19:36 Jul 27, 2009 Jkt 217001 Beneficiary Identification and Record Locator Subsystem (BIRLS), the Veterans Affairs/Department of Defense Identity Repository (VADIR), the Benefits Delivery Network (BDN), and the Rating Board Automation (RBA2000) corporate database for determination of eligibility for veteran’s benefits. VIS provides a read only view of a subset of the data contained within these databases listed; VIS does not provide updates to any of these systems, nor does it retain any of the data gathered from these systems. Once the user request has been fulfilled, the data is expunged from the system. b. Proposed Routine Use Disclosures of Data in the System VA is proposing to establish the following Routine Use disclosures of data accessed by the VIS application from the identified data sources: 1. The record of an individual included in this system may be provided to Department of Defense (DoD) systems or offices for use in connection with matters relating to one of DoD’s programs to enable delivery of healthcare or other DoD benefit to eligible beneficiaries. 2. The name, address, VA file number, effective date of compensation or pension, current and historical benefit pay amounts for compensation or pension, service information, date of birth, competency payment status, incarceration status, and social security number of veterans and their surviving spouses may be disclosed to the Department of Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) to reconcile the amount and/or waiver of service, department and retired pay. These records may also be disclosed as part of a computer matching program to accomplish these purposes. 3. The name, address, VA file number, date of birth, date of death, social security number, and service information may be disclosed to DoD’s DMDC. DoD will use this information to identify retired veterans and dependent members of their families who have entitlement to Department of Defense benefits but who are not identified in the Department of Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) program and to assist in determining eligibility for Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS) benefits. This purpose is consistent with 38 U.S.C. 5701. 4. VA may disclose on its own initiative any information in this system, except the names and addresses of veterans and their dependents, that is relevant to a suspected or reasonably PO 00000 Frm 00123 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 37309 imminent violation of law, whether civil, criminal, or regulatory in nature and whether arising by general or program statute or by regulation, rule, or order issued pursuant thereto, a Federal, State, local, tribal, or foreign agency charged with the responsibility of investigating or prosecuting such violation, or charged with enforcing or implementing the statute, regulation, rule, or order. VA may also disclose on its own initiative the names and addresses of veterans and their dependents to a Federal agency charged with the responsibility of investigating or prosecuting civil, criminal, or regulatory violations of law, or charged with enforcing or implementing the statute, regulation, rule, or order issued pursuant thereto. 5. VA may disclose any information or records to appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when (1) it is suspected or confirmed that the integrity or confidentiality of information in the system of records has been compromised; (2) VA has determined that as a result of the suspected or confirmed compromise there is a risk of embarrassment or harm to the reputations of the records subjects, harm to economic or property interest, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the security, confidentiality or integrity of this system or other systems or programs (whether maintained by VA or another agency or entity) that rely upon the potentially compromised information; and (3) the disclosure is made to such agencies, entities, and persons whom VA determines are reasonably necessary to assist or carry out VA’s efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm. This routine use permits disclosures by VA to respond to a suspected or confirmed data breach, including the conduct of any risk analysis or provision or credit protection services as provided in 38 U.S.C. 5724, as the terms are defined in 38 U.S.C. 5727. 6. Disclosure to other Federal agencies may be made to assist such agencies in preventing and detecting possible fraud or abuse by individuals in their operations and programs. 7. The record of an individual who is covered by a system of records may be disclosed to a Member of Congress, or a staff person acting for the member, when the member or staff person requests the record on behalf of and at the written request of the individual. 8. The name(s) and address(es) of a veteran may be disclosed to another Federal agency or to a contractor of that agency, at the written request of the E:\FR\FM\28JYN1.SGM 28JYN1
