Privacy Act of 1974; Establishment of a New System of Records
Individuals employed by a depository institution, a subsidiary owned and controlled by a depository institution and regulated by a Federal banking agency, or an institution regulated by the Farm Credit Administration (FCA), who act as residential mortgage loan originators are required by the Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act (S.A.F.E. Act) to register in the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry (NMLSR), to obtain unique identifiers, and to maintain their registrations. NMLSR is a Web-based system developed and maintained by a non- Federal third party, as discussed below, to satisfy the requirements of the S.A.F.E. Act. NMLSR will allow a number of Federal agencies, including the FCA, to retrieve the registration information by identifying particulars. However, the FCA and the other Federal agencies referenced above will be able to retrieve the registration information by identifying particulars only with respect to employees of the institutions each agency regulates. To ensure full compliance with the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), as amended, the FCA is providing notice of the existence and character of records maintained by the NMLSR. While employees of the financial institutions that the FCA regulates can submit registration information as of January 31, 2011, the FCA has blocked its own retrieval access to the registration information. Thus, there will not be a Privacy Act system of records until this notice becomes effective.
