SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Financial Management Service (FMS) is proposing to establish a new system of records entitled ‘‘Mailing List Records— Treasury/FMS .008.’’ FMS proposes to obtain and use mailing list records from commercial database providers for the purpose of mailing information to potential Federal payment recipients about the benefits of electronic payments and types of accounts available for the receipt of Federal electronic payments. Commercial database providers obtain information from publicly available records or SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00096 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 through means that we understand to be compliant with applicable privacy laws. FMS, a bureau within the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury), is responsible for disbursing public money by paper check and electronic funds transfer (EFT). Payments made by electronic funds transfer (EFT), rather than by paper check, benefits both recipients and the Government. Direct deposit and other EFT payments are credited to recipients’ accounts on the day payment is due, so the funds generally are available sooner than with check payments. Individuals receiving Federal payments electronically rarely have any delays or problems with their payments. In contrast, based on payment claims filed with FMS, nine out of ten problems with FMS-disbursed payments are related to paper checks even though checks constitute only 18 percent of all FMS-disbursed payments made by the Government. The potential benefits of EFT payments for the Government and taxpayers are significant. For example, in fiscal year 2010, FMS mailed more than 130 million Federal benefit checks to approximately 11 million benefit recipients, resulting in extra costs to taxpayers of more than $117 million that would not have been incurred had those payments been made by EFT. In the same fiscal year, only 63% of taxpayers received their tax refund payment electronically, with approximately 44 million tax refund payments being delivered by paper check. Over the past three decades, FMS has developed numerous programs to enable agencies to make EFT payments. Treasury’s Go Direct® educational campaign, sponsored with the Federal Reserve Banks, highlights the advantages to a Federal benefit recipient who opens an account at a financial institution, or a Direct Express® Debit MasterCard® card account, and elects to receive his or her benefits via direct deposit to the account. In addition to media and other public outreach, Treasury mails check stuffers and letters encouraging check recipients to receive Federal payments electronically. Typically, FMS mails information to check recipients based on name and address information contained in its payment records (see ‘‘Treasury/FMS .002–Payment Issue Records for Regular Recurring Benefit Payments’’ and ‘‘Treasury/FMS .016–Payment Records for Other Than Regular Recurring Benefit Payments’’). In some cases, however, FMS may decide to use commercial database providers for names and mailing addresses of individuals who meet certain criteria E:\FR\FM\03DEN1.SGM 03DEN1
