SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department established the Home 
Affordable Modification Program (HAMP), pursuant to the Emergency 
Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-343) (the ``EESA''), to 
enable eligible homeowners who have a record of making timely mortgage 
payments, but are experiencing hardships in doing so, to modify the 
principal amounts and interest rates of their mortgage loans. The 
system of records notice was last published in its entirety on April 
20, 2010, at 75 FR 20699. The Department subsequently amended routine 
use (13) on July 2, 2010, at 75 FR 38608.
    The purpose of this alteration to Routine Use (8) is to harmonize 
this Routine Use with Routine Use (13), such that it will enable the 
Financial Agent of the Department, its employees, agents, and 
contractors, or a contractor of the Department to assess the quality of 
services provided under HAMP, their efficient administration, and to 
report on the program's overall execution.
    The purpose of this alteration to Routine Use (13) is to allow 
broader disclosure of information to the Department of Commerce 
(``Commerce''), which will provide technical analysis and support to 
the Department of the Treasury to assess the quality of services 
provided under HAMP and to report on the program's overall execution.
    Additionally, the Department proposes adding a new Routine Use 
(16), to read as follows:
    ``(16) Disclose information to an authorized recipient who has 
assured the Department or a Financial Agent of the Department in 
writing that the record will be used solely for research purposes 
designed to assess the quality of and efficient administration of HAMP, 
subject to the same or equivalent limitations applicable to the 
Department's officers and employees under the Privacy Act.''
    The report of an altered system of records, as required by 5 U.S.C. 
552a(r) of the Privacy Act, has been provided 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 the Office of Management and Budget.
    For the reasons set forth in this preamble, the Department proposes 
to alter system of records entitled ``Treasury/DO .218--Home Affordable 
Modification Program,'' as follows:
TREASURY/DO .218

System name:
    Home Affordable Modification Program Records--Treasury/DO.
* * * * *

Routine uses of records maintained in the system, including categories 
of users and the purposes of such uses:
* * * * * * *
    Description of changes:
    1. The phrase ``for the purpose of ensuring the efficient 
administration'' in Routine Use (8) is replaced with the phrase ``for 
the purpose of assessing the quality of and efficient administration'', 
such that Routine Use (8) is revised to read as follows: ``(8) Disclose 
information to a Financial Agent of the Department, its employees, 
agents, and contractors, or to a contractor of the Department, for the 
purpose of assessing the quality of and efficient administration of 
HAMP and compliance with relevant guidelines,

agreements, directives and requirements, and subject to the same or 
equivalent limitations applicable to Department's officers and 
employees under the Privacy Act;''
    2. The phrase ``the Department of Commerce (``Commerce''),'' is 
added to Routine Use (13) between the phrases ``Housing and Urban 
Development,'' and ``Federal financial regulators'', and the phrase 
``to improve the quality'' is replaced with the phrase ``to assess the 
quality and efficiency'', such that Routine Use (13) is revised to read 
as follows: ``(13) Disclose information and statistics to the 
Department of Housing & Urban Development, the Department of Commerce 
(``Commerce''), Federal financial regulators, the U.S. Department of 
Justice (``DOJ''), and the Federal Housing Finance Agency to assess the 
quality and efficiency of services provided under HAMP, to ensure
