SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
January 28, 2008, the President signed
into law the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008
(Pub. L. 110–181), which created the
Special Inspector General for
Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR).
SIGAR is responsible for coordinating
and conducting audits and
investigations to promote efficiency and
effectiveness of reconstruction
programs, and to detect and prevent
waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayers’
dollars. Under 5 U.S.C. 301, heads of
Executive or military departments may
prescribe regulations governing the
conduct of its employees and the
custody, use, and preservation of the
department’s records, papers, and
property. To facilitate SIGAR’s audits,
investigations, and other operations, it
plans to create the following systems of
records:
SIGAR–11 Social Media Records;
SIGAR–12 Internal Electronic
Collaboration Tools.
The Report of the a new system of
records, as required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r)
of the Privacy Act, 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 the Office of
Management and Budget, pursuant to
Appendix I to OMB Circular A–130,
‘‘Federal Agency Responsibilities for
Maintaining Records About
Individuals,’’ dated November 30, 2000.
Sections 552a(e)(4) and (11) of title 5,
United States Code, provide 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 two new systems of
records are published in their entirety
below.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
I. Social Media
SIGAR is creating the SIGAR Social
Media system of records to allow SIGAR
to interact with the public using third
party or commercial social media
applications. While SIGAR may use
social media applications to connect
with the public in an official capacity,
information provided by an individual
to register with the third party site is
rarely shared with SIGAR. Information
collected and stored by the social media
applications is subject to the third party
PO 00000
Frm 00179
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
46551
privacy policies posted on their Web
sites. SIGAR may receive contact
information from the third party site for
individuals who wish to have further
contact with SIGAR for addition
communications such as dissemination
of information for upcoming events,
notification of an emergency or breaking
news, or felicitation of feedback about a
program.
Information provided by SIGAR on
social media sites is also available on
SIGARs public Web sites. If SIGAR is
requesting feedback from the public
through the use of social media site, an
alternative SIGAR email address will
also be provided so that the public may
interact with SIGAR without having to
use the social media site. When an
individual submits an email to SIGAR,
SIGAR will maintain that individual’s
email, and any other personal
information provided in their email, in
accordance with applicable records
retention policies. All interactions by
the public are voluntary.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
II. Internal Electronic Collaboration
Tools
SIGAR is implementing internal
electronic collaboration tools utilizing
the Microsoft SharePoint platform.
These tools will upgrade SIGAR’s
intranet, allow users to set up team
collaboration workspaces, facilitate
sharing of documents, policies and
information, and allow limited social
networking through the SharePoint
‘‘MySites’’ feature. The Intranet, built on
these tools, will include SIGAR policies,
procedures, forms, organization charts,
news clips, and links to other sites that
are helpful to staff members. The
intranet will include content regarding
program offices, services and support,
and projects and activities. The MySites
feature will allow SIGAR users to set up
a personal profile, identify subject
matter areas about which they are
knowledgeable, upload pictures, publics
notes, tags, content, and messages that
are similar to email. Users will be able
to manually select ‘‘colleagues’’ which
the colleague may approve or deny, and
create and join groups. Overall, the
internal collaboration tools will provide
invaluable dissemination and exchange
E:\FR\FM\03AUN1.SGM
03AUN1
46552
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 150 / Friday, August 3, 2012 / Notices
of information, allowing users to stay
connected within a dashboard that each
user can personalize.
All SIGAR users will need to use the
internal electronic collaboration tools to
perform their official duties, for
example, to use the Intranet to obtain
business phone numbers of other SIGAR
users, to view internal policies, to link
to specific SharePoint sites containing
SIGAR business information, or use
SharePoint sites containing SIGAR
business information, or use SharePoint
workspaces with other team members.
The use of MySites is purely voluntary;
those who use MySites will have some
control over which other users may see
their personal information. However,
Intranet sites administrators and other
SIGAR staff members with a legitimate
need to know the information for
official purposes will have full access to
view all content, including all personal
content posted through MySites.
Intranet users will be clearly informed,
that if they use MySites, they have no
reasonable expectation of privacy in any
information they post, as with any other
information passing through or stored
on SIGAR equipment.
The Internal Electronic Collaboration
Tools system of records will contain
SIGAR business information, business
contact information and photographs, at
times personal contact information, and
any personal information a user chooses
to post within MySites.
Both systems will be effective as
proposed at the end of the comment
period (the comment period will end 30
days after the publication of this notice
in the Federal Register), unless
comments are received that would
require a contrary determination. SIGAR
will publish a revised notice if changes
are made based upon a review of the
comments received.

providing new ways to connect and share information, and solicit and
receive feedback freely with the public. The Internal Electronic
Collaboration Tools will collect information related to new procedures
for the collection of information related to internal electronic
collaboration tools which use Microsoft SharePoint, including the SIGAR
Intranet and social media tools within the Internet.
DATES: Comments must be received no later than September 4, 2012. The
new system of records will be effective October 2, 2012 unless SIGAR
receives comments that would result in a contrary determination.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to Kate Gastner, Public Information
Manager, Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, 2530
Crystal Drive, Arlington, VA 22202-3934. Comments will be made
available for inspection upon written request. SIGAR will make such

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 28, 2008, the President signed
into law the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008
(Pub. L. 110-181), which created the Special Inspector General for
Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR). SIGAR is responsible for
coordinating and conducting audits and investigations to promote
efficiency and effectiveness of reconstruction programs, and to detect
and prevent waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayers' dollars. Under 5
U.S.C. 301, heads of Executive or military departments may prescribe
regulations governing the conduct of its employees and the custody,
use, and preservation of the department's records, papers, and
property. To facilitate SIGAR's audits, investigations, and other
operations, it plans to create the following systems of records:
SIGAR-11 Social Media Records;
SIGAR-12 Internal Electronic Collaboration Tools.
The Report of the a new system of records, as required by 5 U.S.C.
552a(r) of the Privacy Act, 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 the Office of Management and Budget, pursuant to Appendix I to OMB
Circular A-130, ``Federal Agency Responsibilities for Maintaining
Records About Individuals,'' dated November 30, 2000.
Sections 552a(e)(4) and (11) of title 5, United States Code,
provide 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
two new systems of records are published in their entirety below.
I. Social Media
SIGAR is creating the SIGAR Social Media system of records to allow
SIGAR to interact with the public using third party or commercial
social media applications. While SIGAR may use social media
applications to connect with the public in an official capacity,
information provided by an individual to register with the third party
site is rarely shared with SIGAR. Information collected and stored by
the social media applications is subject to the third party privacy
policies posted on their Web sites. SIGAR may receive contact
information from the third party site for individuals who wish to have
further contact with SIGAR for addition communications such as
dissemination of information for upcoming events, notification of an
emergency or breaking news, or felicitation of feedback about a
program.
Information provided by SIGAR on social media sites is also
available on SIGARs public Web sites. If SIGAR is requesting feedback
from the public through the use of social media site, an alternative
SIGAR email address will also be provided so that the public may
interact with SIGAR without having to use the social media site. When
an individual submits an email to SIGAR, SIGAR will maintain that
individual's email, and any other personal information provided in
their email, in accordance with applicable records retention policies.
All interactions by the public are voluntary.
Before including your address, phone number, email address, or
other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be
aware that your entire comment--including your personal identifying
information--may be made publicly available at any time. While you can
ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be
able to do so.
II. Internal Electronic Collaboration Tools
SIGAR is implementing internal electronic collaboration tools
utilizing the Microsoft SharePoint platform. These tools will upgrade
SIGAR's intranet, allow users to set up team collaboration workspaces,
facilitate sharing of documents, policies and information, and allow
limited social networking through the SharePoint ``MySites'' feature.
The Intranet, built on these tools, will include SIGAR policies,
procedures, forms, organization charts, news clips, and links to other
sites that are helpful to staff members. The intranet will include
content regarding program offices, services and support, and projects
and activities. The MySites feature will allow SIGAR users to set up a
personal profile, identify subject matter areas about which they are
knowledgeable, upload pictures, publics notes, tags, content, and
messages that are similar to email. Users will be able to manually
select ``colleagues'' which the colleague may approve or deny, and
create and join groups. Overall, the internal collaboration tools will
provide invaluable dissemination and exchange
[[Page 46552]]
of information, allowing users to stay connected within a dashboard
that each user can personalize.
All SIGAR users will need to use the internal electronic
collaboration tools to perform their official duties, for example, to
use the Intranet to obtain business phone numbers of other SIGAR users,
to view internal policies, to link to specific SharePoint sites
containing SIGAR business information, or use SharePoint sites
containing SIGAR business information, or use SharePoint workspaces
with other team members. The use of MySites is purely voluntary; those
who use MySites will have some control over which other users may see
their personal information. However, Intranet sites administrators and
other SIGAR staff members with a legitimate need to know the
information for official purposes will have full access to view all
content, including all personal content posted through MySites.
Intranet users will be clearly informed, that if they use MySites, they
have no reasonable expectation of privacy in any information they post,
as with any other information passing through or stored on SIGAR
equipment.
The Internal Electronic Collaboration Tools system of records will
contain SIGAR business information, business contact information and
photographs, at times personal contact information, and any personal
information a user chooses to post within MySites.
Both systems will be effective as proposed at the end of the
comment period (the comment period will end 30 days after the
publication of this notice in the Federal Register), unless comments
are received that would require a contrary determination. SIGAR will
publish a revised notice if changes are made based upon a review of the
comments received.
Dated: July 31, 2012.
John F. Sopko,
Inspector General.
SIGAR-11 Social Media Records
System location:
Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR),
9th Floor, 1550 Crystal Drive, Arlington, VA 22202-4135.
Categories of individuals covered by the system:
Individuals who contact SIGAR through a social media outlet or
other electronic means, including submitting feedback to SIGAR,
correspondent with SIGAR as a result of the agency's outreach using
social networks, or requesting to be contacted by SIGAR.
Categories of records in the system:
This system may contain information pass through a social media
site to facilitate interaction with SIGAR such as, but not limited to:
First name, last name, username, email address, home or work address,
contact information, and phone numbers. It may also include input and
feedback from the public, such as comments, emails, videos, and other
images, which may include tags, geotags or geographic metadata.
Depending on the circumstances of the individual's interaction and the
social media site being used, it may include data provided to SIGAR
