Federal Housing Finance Agency
(FHFA–OIG) gives notice of the revision
of an existing system of records. FHFA–
OIG is revising the legacy system of
records entitled FHFB–6, ‘‘Office of
Inspector General Audit and
Investigative Records,’’ by dividing it
into four separate systems of records:
‘‘FHFA–OIG Audit Files Database,’’
‘‘FHFA–OIG Investigative & Evaluative
Files Database,’’ ‘‘FHFA–OIG
Investigative & Evaluative MIS
Database,’’ and ‘‘FHFA–OIG Hotline
Database.’’ These four systems and the
routine uses for each are described in
detail below.
FHFA–OIG also gives notice of the
establishment of an additional Privacy
Act system of records, for a total of five
FHFA–OIG-specific systems of records.
This new system of records is the
following: ‘‘FHFA–OIG Correspondence
Database.’’
DATES: Comments must be received by
April 1, 2011. The proposed new
systems of records will become effective
April 8, 2011, unless comments are
received which would result in a
contrary determination.

II. Background
The Federal Housing Finance
Regulatory Reform Act of 2008 (‘‘Reform
Act’’), which was passed as Division A
of the Housing and Economic Recovery
Act of 2008 (‘‘HERA’’), Public Law 110–
289, 122 Stat. 2654, 2913, abolished
both the Federal Housing Finance Board
(‘‘FHFB’’), an independent agency that
oversaw the Federal Home Loan Banks
(‘‘FHLBanks’’), and the Office of Federal
Housing Enterprise Oversight
(‘‘OFHEO’’), an office within the
Department of Housing and Urban
Development (‘‘HUD’’) that oversaw the
‘‘safety and soundness’’ of the Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
(‘‘Freddie Mac’’) and the Federal
National Mortgage Association (‘‘Fannie
Mae’’). See 12 U.S.C. 1422a, 4502(6),
4511, 4512, 4513, 4541, 4563 (2006);
H.R. Rep. No. 110–142, at 95. The
Reform Act established in place of the
FHFB and OFHEO a new entity, the
Federal Housing Finance Agency
(‘‘FHFA’’), which now regulates and
supervises Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac,
and the 12 FHLBanks. See Reform Act
sections 1002, 1101, 1102 and 1311; 12
U.S.C. 4511 (2009).
Section 1105 of HERA also amended
the Federal Housing Enterprises
Financial Safety and Soundness Act of
1992 and the Inspector General Act of
1978 (the ‘‘IG Act’’), by specifying that
there shall be established an Inspector
General within FHFA (‘‘FHFA–OIG’’).
See 12 U.S.C. 4517(d). FHFA–OIG is
responsible for, among other things,
conducting audits, investigations, and
inspections of FHFA’s programs and
operations; recommending polices that
promote economy and efficiency in the
administration of FHFA’s programs and
operations; and preventing and
detecting fraud and abuse in FHFA’s
programs and operations.
By Federal Register notice dated
October 17, 2006, the FHFB revised an
existing system of records to establish a
system of records designated FHFB–6,

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 41 / Wednesday, March 2, 2011 / Notices
‘‘Office of Inspector General Audit and
Investigative Records.’’ 71 FR 61052
(2006). As noted above, FHFA–OIG
plans to amend FHFB–6 to establish the
following four systems of records:
FHFA–OIG–1: FHFA–OIG Audit Files
Database.
FHFA–OIG–2: FHFA–OIG Investigative
& Evaluative Files Database.
FHFA–OIG–3: FHFA–OIG Investigative
& Evaluative MIS Database.
FHFA–OIG–4: FHFA–OIG Hotline
Database.
FHFA–OIG also plans to establish the
following new system of records.
FHFA–OIG–5: FHFA–OIG
Correspondence Database.
Sections 552a(e)(4) and (11) of title 5,
United States Code, require that an
agency publish a notice of the
establishment or revision of a record
system which affords the public a 30day period in which to submit
comments. To meet this requirement,
descriptions of the proposed systems of
records follow. Further, a report of
FHFA–OIG’s intention to establish these
systems of records has been submitted
to the Committee on Oversight and
Government Reform of the House of
Representatives, the Committee on
Homeland Security and Governmental
Affairs of the Senate, and to the Office
of Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’),
pursuant to paragraph 4c of Appendix I
of OMB Circular A–130, which is
entitled ‘‘Federal Agency
Responsibilities for Maintaining
Records About Individuals,’’dated
February 8, 1996 (February 20, 1996; 61
FR 6427, 6435). The proposed new
systems of records described above are
set forth in their entirety below.

FEDERAL HOUSING FINANCE AGENCY
[No. 2011-N-03]
Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records
AGENCY: Office of Inspector General, Federal Housing Finance Agency.
ACTION: Notice of the Revision and Establishment of Privacy Act Systems
of Records.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, the
Office of Inspector General of the Federal Housing Finance Agency
(FHFA-OIG) gives notice of the revision of an existing system of
records. FHFA-OIG is revising the legacy system of records entitled
FHFB-6, ``Office of Inspector General Audit and Investigative
Records,'' by dividing it into four separate systems of records:
``FHFA-OIG Audit Files Database,'' ``FHFA-OIG Investigative &
Evaluative Files Database,'' ``FHFA-OIG Investigative & Evaluative MIS
Database,'' and ``FHFA-OIG Hotline Database.'' These four systems and
the routine uses for each are described in detail below.
FHFA-OIG also gives notice of the establishment of an additional
Privacy Act system of records, for a total of five FHFA-OIG-specific
systems of records. This new system of records is the following:
``FHFA-OIG Correspondence Database.''
DATES: Comments must be received by April 1, 2011. The proposed new
systems of records will become effective April 8, 2011, unless comments
are received which would result in a contrary determination.
ADDRESSES: Submit comments to FHFA only once, identified by ``FHFA-OIG
SORN,'' using any one of the following methods:
E-mail: Bryan.Saddler@fhfa.gov. Comments may be sent by e-
mail to Bryan Saddler, FHFA-OIG Chief Counsel. Please include
``Comments/FHFA-OIG SORN'' in the subject line of the message. Comments
will be made available for inspection upon written request.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Posting and Public Availability of Comments: All comments received
will be posted without change on the FHFA Web site at https://www.fhfa.gov, and will include any personal information provided.
II. Background
The Federal Housing Finance Regulatory Reform Act of 2008 (``Reform
Act''), which was passed as Division A of the Housing and Economic
Recovery Act of 2008 (``HERA''), Public Law 110-289, 122 Stat. 2654,
2913, abolished both the Federal Housing Finance Board (``FHFB''), an
independent agency that oversaw the Federal Home Loan Banks
(``FHLBanks''), and the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight
(``OFHEO''), an office within the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (``HUD'') that oversaw the ``safety and soundness'' of the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (``Freddie Mac'') and the
Federal National Mortgage Association (``Fannie Mae''). See 12 U.S.C.
1422a, 4502(6), 4511, 4512, 4513, 4541, 4563 (2006); H.R. Rep. No. 110-
142, at 95. The Reform Act established in place of the FHFB and OFHEO a
new entity, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (``FHFA''), which now
regulates and supervises Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the 12 FHLBanks.
See Reform Act sections 1002, 1101, 1102 and 1311; 12 U.S.C. 4511
(2009).
Section 1105 of HERA also amended the Federal Housing Enterprises
Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992 and the Inspector General
Act of 1978 (the ``IG Act''), by specifying that there shall be
established an Inspector General within FHFA (``FHFA-OIG''). See 12
U.S.C. 4517(d). FHFA-OIG is responsible for, among other things,
conducting audits, investigations, and inspections of FHFA's programs
and operations; recommending polices that promote economy and
efficiency in the administration of FHFA's programs and operations; and
preventing and detecting fraud and abuse in FHFA's programs and
operations.
By Federal Register notice dated October 17, 2006, the FHFB revised
an existing system of records to establish a system of records
designated FHFB-6,
[[Page 11466]]
``Office of Inspector General Audit and Investigative Records.'' 71 FR
61052 (2006). As noted above, FHFA-OIG plans to amend FHFB-6 to
establish the following four systems of records:
FHFA-OIG-1: FHFA-OIG Audit Files Database.
FHFA-OIG-2: FHFA-OIG Investigative & Evaluative Files Database.
FHFA-OIG-3: FHFA-OIG Investigative & Evaluative MIS Database.
FHFA-OIG-4: FHFA-OIG Hotline Database.
FHFA-OIG also plans to establish the following new system of
records.
FHFA-OIG-5: FHFA-OIG Correspondence Database.
Sections 552a(e)(4) and (11) of title 5, United States Code,
require that an agency publish a notice of the establishment or
revision of a record system which affords the public a 30-day period in
which to submit comments. To meet this requirement, descriptions of the
proposed systems of records follow. Further, a report of FHFA-OIG's
intention to establish these systems of records has been submitted to
the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the House of
Representatives, the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental
Affairs of the Senate, and to the Office of Management and Budget
(``OMB''), pursuant to paragraph 4c of Appendix I of OMB Circular A-
130, which is entitled ``Federal Agency Responsibilities for
Maintaining Records About Individuals,''dated February 8, 1996
(February 20, 1996; 61 FR 6427, 6435). The proposed new systems of
records described above are set forth in their entirety below.
