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 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 evaluations of
FHFA’s programs and operations;
recommending policies that promote
economy and efficiency in the
administration of FHFA’s programs and
operations; and preventing and

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 212 / Friday, November 1, 2013 / Notices
detecting fraud and abuse in FHFA’s
programs and operations.
On March 2, 2011, FHFA–OIG issued
a Federal Register notice establishing
five SORs, with the goal of making them
reflective of the types of records kept by
FHFA–OIG. See 76 FR 11465. The 2011
notice established the following SORs:
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–5: FHFA–OIG
Correspondence Database.
When the five SORs were adopted it
was thought that OE would be a
companion group to the Office of
Investigations (OI). Thus, its SOR was
joined with OI’s SORs. In practice,
however, OE has become its own
independent component, and the types
of records it maintains are different from
those kept by OI. As a result, the first
change made by the instant notice is the
creation of a separate SOR for OE.
The second change being made is the
creation of an additional routine use for
the OA SOR so that the routine uses
contained therein are the same as OE’s.
Although the work conducted by OE
and OA typically focuses on the
efficiency of practices and procedures as
opposed to individuals, there is the
potential that under certain
circumstances it may be necessary for
FHFA–OIG to release otherwise
protected information in order to
convey an accurate and meaningful
understanding of the findings included
in a report required by the IG Act. For
example, if an individual’s title has
particular significance to the findings
(e.g., if the audit or evaluation concerns
personnel procedures and the head of
personnel has taken or failed to take
certain actions that have uniquely
contributed to fraud, waste, or abuse), in
the interest of transparency and full
disclosure, FHFA–OIG may deem it
necessary to release the individual’s
title.
Finally, to ensure that FHFA–OIG’s
SORs accurately describe the records
FHFA–OIG currently keeps and the
functions for which they are routinely
used, the existing SORs are being
amended, revised, updated, and/or
modified.
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 SOR
which affords the public a 30-day
period in which to submit comments.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:40 Oct 31, 2013
Jkt 232001
To meet this requirement, changes
proposed for FHFA–OIG’s SORs are set
forth in their entirety below. Further, a
report of FHFA–OIG’s intention to
establish a SOR for OE, add a routine
use for OA’s SOR, and make technical
changes to the remaining existing SORs
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 (61 FR 6427, 6435
(February 20, 1996)).
III. Proposed System of Records
The proposed changes to the existing
SORs, and the proposed new SOR are
described in detail below:
FHFA–OIG–1
The existing SOR entitled FHFA–OIG
Audit Files Database, published at 76
FR 11465 (March 2, 2011), is being
amended to create a fourteenth routine
use and to update the system location,
retention and disposal schedules,
FHFA–OIG’s address, and the
exemptions claimed.
Thus, the following changes are being
made:
1. The ‘‘routine uses of records
maintained in the system, including
categories of users and the purposes of
such uses’’ section is being amended to
add: ‘‘(14) Disclose information that if
withheld would tend to diminish or
interfere with the comprehension of the
significance of or nuances contained in
the findings in any and all reports
issued in compliance with requirements
of the Inspector General Act of 1978 (5
U.S.C. App. 3), as amended.’’
2. The ‘‘system location’’ section is
being amended by removing ‘‘This
system of records is located on a
computer system owned and
administered by FHFA. FHFA–OIG may
transfer this system of records to a
stand-alone, physically secure FHFA–
OIG computer system’’ and replacing it
with ‘‘This system of records is located
on a computer system that is managed
and administered by NASA–OIG.’’
3. The ‘‘retention and disposal’’
section is being amended by removing
‘‘(1) Audit Reports File (N1–485–08–2,
item 17), which provides for annual cutoff and for destruction 10 years after
cut-off; and (2) Audit Workpapers (N1–
485–08–2, item 2), which provides for
annual cut-off and for destruction 6
years and 3 months after cut-off’’ and
PO 00000
Frm 00041
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

replacing it with ‘‘FHFA’s
Comprehensive Records Schedule Item
7.1 (N1–543–11–1, approved 01/11/
2013), which provides the cut-off and
disposition schedule for audit records.’’
4. The ‘‘system manager(s) and
address’’ section will be amended by
removing ‘‘1625 Eye Street NW.,
Washington, DC 20006’’ and replacing it
with ‘‘400 7th Street SW., Washington,
DC 20024.’’
5. The ‘‘exemptions claimed for the
system’’ section will be amended to
reflect those records that FHFA
specifically exempted when it
implemented 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) and
(k)(2), see 77 FR 4645 (January 31, 2012)
which is codified at 12 CFR 1204.7(c).
Consequently, the following language:
‘‘Some records contained within this
system of records are exempt from 5
U.S.C. 552a(c)(3), (c)(4), (d)(1), (d)(2),
(d)(3), (d)(4), (e)(1), (e)(2), (e)(3),
(e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(H), (e)(4)(I), (e)(5), (e)(8),
(f), and (g) of the Privacy Act pursuant
to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) and (k)(2). FHFA
is in the process of publishing an
updated Privacy Act regulation at 12
CFR part 1204 that will implement (j)(2)
and (k)(2) exemptions to cover FHFA–
OIG records. Upon publication of this
revised Privacy Act Regulation, these
exemptions are hereby incorporated by
reference and are an integral part of this
SORN’’ will be removed and replaced
with ‘‘Some records contained within
this system of records are exempt from
5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3), (d)(1), (d)(2), (e)(1),
(e)(2), (e)(3), of the Privacy Act pursuant
to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) and (k)(2), see 12
CFR 1204.7(c), implementing the
exemptions in 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) and
(k)(2) for FHFA–OIG records. These
exemptions are hereby incorporated by
reference and are an integral part of this
SORN.’’
FHFA–OIG–2
The existing SOR entitled, FHFA–OIG
Investigative & Evaluative Files
Database, published at 76 FR 11465
(March 2, 2011), is being amended to
eliminate all references to ‘‘evaluative,’’
‘‘evaluations,’’ and the ‘‘Evaluations
Division’’ and to update the system
location, retention and disposal
schedules, FHFA–OIG’s address, and
the exemptions claimed.
Thus, the following changes are being
made:
1. The ‘‘system name’’ section is being
amended by removing ‘‘FHFA–OIG
Investigative & Evaluative Files
Database’’ and replacing it with ‘‘FHFA–
OIG Investigative Files Database.’’
2. The ‘‘categories of individuals
covered by the system’’ section is being
amended by removing ‘‘Subjects or

and replacing it with ‘‘Subjects or

activities; witnesses involved in
investigative activities.’’
3. The ‘‘categories of records in the
system’’ section is being amended by
replacing ‘‘(13) other documents
collected and/or generated by the

documents collected and/or generated
by the Investigations Division during
the course of official duties.’’
4. The ‘‘purpose(s)’’ section is being
amended by removing ‘‘The purpose of
this system of records is to maintain
information relevant to complaints
received by FHFA–OIG and collected as
part of investigations conducted by

replacing it with ‘‘The purpose of this
system of records is to maintain
information relevant to complaints
received by FHFA–OIG and collected as
part of investigations conducted by
FHFA–OIG’s Investigations Division.’’
5. The ‘‘system location’’ section is
being amended by removing ‘‘This
system of records is located on a
computer system owned and
administered by FHFA. FHFA–OIG may
transfer this system of records to a
stand-alone, physically secure FHFA–
OIG computer system’’ and replacing it
with ‘‘This system of records is
managed and administered by NASA–
OIG.’’
6. The ‘‘retention and disposal’’
section is being amended by removing
‘‘(1) Chronological File (N1–485–08–2,
Item 5), which provides for annual cutoff and for destruction 5 years after cutoff; (2) Inspector General Community
Operational Guidance (N1–485–08–2,

(GRS 23, item 1), which permits
destruction after 2 years; and (6) FHFA
Offices’ Correspondence (N1–485–94–1,

‘‘(1) FHFA’s Comprehensive Records
Schedule Item 7.2(a) (N1–543–11–1,

the cut-off and disposition schedule for
significant investigative case records;
and (2) Item 7.2(b), which provides the
cut-off and disposition schedule for all
other investigative case records.’’
7. The ‘‘system manager(s) and
address’’ section will be amended by
removing ‘‘1625 Eye Street NW.,

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 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 evaluations of FHFA's programs and operations;
recommending policies that promote economy and efficiency in the
administration of FHFA's programs and operations; and preventing and
[[Page 65645]]
detecting fraud and abuse in FHFA's programs and operations.
On March 2, 2011, FHFA-OIG issued a Federal Register notice
establishing five SORs, with the goal of making them reflective of the
types of records kept by FHFA-OIG. See 76 FR 11465. The 2011 notice
established the following SORs:
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-5: FHFA-OIG Correspondence Database.
When the five SORs were adopted it was thought that OE would be a
companion group to the Office of Investigations (OI). Thus, its SOR was
joined with OI's SORs. In practice, however, OE has become its own
independent component, and the types of records it maintains are
different from those kept by OI. As a result, the first change made by
the instant notice is the creation of a separate SOR for OE.
The second change being made is the creation of an additional
routine use for the OA SOR so that the routine uses contained therein
are the same as OE's. Although the work conducted by OE and OA
typically focuses on the efficiency of practices and procedures as
opposed to individuals, there is the potential that under certain
circumstances it may be necessary for FHFA-OIG to release otherwise
protected information in order to convey an accurate and meaningful
understanding of the findings included in a report required by the IG
Act. For example, if an individual's title has particular significance
to the findings (e.g., if the audit or evaluation concerns personnel
procedures and the head of personnel has taken or failed to take
certain actions that have uniquely contributed to fraud, waste, or
abuse), in the interest of transparency and full disclosure, FHFA-OIG
may deem it necessary to release the individual's title.
Finally, to ensure that FHFA-OIG's SORs accurately describe the
records FHFA-OIG currently keeps and the functions for which they are
routinely used, the existing SORs are being amended, revised, updated,
and/or modified.
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 SOR which affords the public a 30-day period in which to
submit comments. To meet this requirement, changes proposed for FHFA-
OIG's SORs are set forth in their entirety below. Further, a report of
FHFA-OIG's intention to establish a SOR for OE, add a routine use for
OA's SOR, and make technical changes to the remaining existing SORs 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 (61 FR
6427, 6435 (February 20, 1996)).
III. Proposed System of Records
The proposed changes to the existing SORs, and the proposed new SOR
are described in detail below:
FHFA-OIG-1
The existing SOR entitled FHFA-OIG Audit Files Database, published
at 76 FR 11465 (March 2, 2011), is being amended to create a fourteenth
routine use and to update the system location, retention and disposal
schedules, FHFA-OIG's address, and the exemptions claimed.
Thus, the following changes are being made:
1. The ``routine uses of records maintained in the system,
including categories of users and the purposes of such uses'' section
is being amended to add: ``(14) Disclose information that if withheld
would tend to diminish or interfere with the comprehension of the
significance of or nuances contained in the findings in any and all
reports issued in compliance with requirements of the Inspector General
Act of 1978 (5 U.S.C. App. 3), as amended.''
2. The ``system location'' section is being amended by removing
``This system of records is located on a computer system owned and
administered by FHFA. FHFA-OIG may transfer this system of records to a
stand-alone, physically secure FHFA-OIG computer system'' and replacing
it with ``This system of records is located on a computer system that
is managed and administered by NASA-OIG.''
3. The ``retention and disposal'' section is being amended by
removing ``(1) Audit Reports File (N1-485-08-2, item 17), which
provides for annual cut-off and for destruction 10 years after cut-off;
and (2) Audit Workpapers (N1-485-08-2, item 2), which provides for
annual cut-off and for destruction 6 years and 3 months after cut-off''
and replacing it with ``FHFA's Comprehensive Records Schedule Item 7.1
(N1-543-11-1, approved 01/11/2013), which provides the cut-off and
disposition schedule for audit records.''
4. The ``system manager(s) and address'' section will be amended by
removing ``1625 Eye Street NW., Washington, DC 20006'' and replacing it
with ``400 7th Street SW., Washington, DC 20024.''
5. The ``exemptions claimed for the system'' section will be
amended to reflect those records that FHFA specifically exempted when
it implemented 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) and (k)(2), see 77 FR 4645 (January
31, 2012) which is codified at 12 CFR 1204.7(c). Consequently, the
following language: ``Some records contained within this system of
records are exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3), (c)(4), (d)(1), (d)(2),
(d)(3), (d)(4), (e)(1), (e)(2), (e)(3), (e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(H),
(e)(4)(I), (e)(5), (e)(8), (f), and (g) of the Privacy Act pursuant to
5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) and (k)(2). FHFA is in the process of publishing an
updated Privacy Act regulation at 12 CFR part 1204 that will implement
(j)(2) and (k)(2) exemptions to cover FHFA-OIG records. Upon
publication of this revised Privacy Act Regulation, these exemptions
are hereby incorporated by reference and are an integral part of this
SORN'' will be removed and replaced with ``Some records contained
within this system of records are exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3),
(d)(1), (d)(2), (e)(1), (e)(2), (e)(3), of the Privacy Act pursuant to
5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) and (k)(2), see 12 CFR 1204.7(c), implementing the
exemptions in 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) and (k)(2) for FHFA-OIG records.
These exemptions are hereby incorporated by reference and are an
integral part of this SORN.''
FHFA-OIG-2
The existing SOR entitled, FHFA-OIG Investigative & Evaluative
Files Database, published at 76 FR 11465 (March 2, 2011), is being
amended to eliminate all references to ``evaluative,'' ``evaluations,''
and the ``Evaluations Division'' and to update the system location,
retention and disposal schedules, FHFA-OIG's address, and the
exemptions claimed.
Thus, the following changes are being made:
1. The ``system name'' section is being amended by removing ``FHFA-
OIG Investigative & Evaluative Files Database'' and replacing it with
``FHFA-OIG Investigative Files Database.''
2. The ``categories of individuals covered by the system'' section
is being amended by removing ``Subjects or potential subjects of
investigative or
[[Page 65646]]
evaluative activities; witnesses involved in investigative or
evaluative activities'' and replacing it with ``Subjects or potential
subjects of investigative activities; witnesses involved in
investigative activities.''
3. The ``categories of records in the system'' section is being
amended by replacing ``(13) other documents collected and/or generated
by the Investigations Division and/or the Evaluations Division during
the course of official duties'' with ``(13) other documents collected
and/or generated by the Investigations Division during the course of
official duties.''
4. The ``purpose(s)'' section is being amended by removing ``The
purpose of this system of records is to maintain information relevant
to complaints received by FHFA-OIG and collected as part of
investigations conducted by FHFA-OIG's Investigations Division and/or
evaluations conducted by FHFA-OIG's Evaluations Division'' and
replacing it with ``The purpose of this system of records is to
maintain information relevant to complaints received by FHFA-OIG and
collected as part of investigations conducted by FHFA-OIG's
Investigations Division.''
5. The ``system location'' section is being amended by removing
``This system of records is located on a computer system owned and
administered by FHFA. FHFA-OIG may transfer this system of records to a
stand-alone, physically secure FHFA-OIG computer system'' and replacing
it with ``This system of records is managed and administered by NASA-
OIG.''
6. The ``retention and disposal'' section is being amended by
removing ``(1) Chronological File (N1-485-08-2, Item 5), which provides
for annual cut-off and for destruction 5 years after cut-off; (2)
Inspector General Community Operational Guidance (N1-485-08-2, Item
16), which provides for annual cut-off and for destruction 3 years
after cut-off; (3) Grand Jury (6e) Files (N1-485-08-2, Item 14), which

11/2013), which provides the cut-off and disposition schedule for
significant investigative case records; and (2) Item 7.2(b), which
provides the cut-off and disposition schedule for all other
investigative case records.''
7. The ``system manager(s) and address'' section will be amended by
removing ``1625 Eye Street NW., Washington, DC 20006'' and replacing it
with ``400 7th Street, SW., Washington, DC 20024.''
8. The ``exemptions claimed for the system'' section will be
amended to reflect those records that FHFA specifically exempted when
it implemented 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) and (k)(2), see 77 FR 4645 (January
31, 2012) which is codified at 12 CFR 1204.7(c). Consequently, the
following language: ``Some records contained within this system of
records are exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3), (c)(4), (d)(1), (d)(2),
(d)(3), (d)(4), (e)(1), (e)(2), (e)(3), (e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(H),
(e)(4)(I), (e)(5), (e)(8), (f), and (g) of the Privacy Act pursuant to

(j)(2) and (k)(2) exemptions to cover FHFA-OIG records. Upon
publication of this revised Privacy Act Regulation, these exemptions
are hereby incorporated by reference and are an integral part of this
SORN'' will be removed and be replaced with ``Some records contained

These exemptions are hereby incorporated by reference and are an
integral part of this SORN.''
FHFA-OIG-3
The existing SOR entitled, FHFA-OIG Investigative & Evaluative MIS
Database, published at 76 FR 11465 (March 2, 2011), is being amended to
eliminate all references to ``evaluative,'' ``evaluations,'' and the
``Evaluations Division'' and to update the system location, retention
and disposal schedules, FHFA-OIG's address, and the exemptions claimed.
Thus, the following changes are being made:
1. The ``system name'' section is being amended by removing ``FHFA-
OIG Investigative & Evaluative MIS Database'' and replacing it with
``FHFA-OIG Investigative MIS Database.''
2. The ``categories of individuals covered by the system'' section
is being amended by removing ``Subjects or potential subjects of
investigative or evaluative activities; witnesses involved in
investigative or evaluative activities'' and replacing it with
