Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) is proposing data
collection activities as part of a project
to understand the intersection between
Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families (TANF) and Refugee Cash
Assistance (RCA) programs. The goal of
this project is to help ACF better
understand how the variety of systems
that assist refugees collaborate to
promote common goals of selfsufficiency and employment, and how
refugees’ experiences might differ
depending on the structure of the state
(or local) program arrangements. To
achieve this goal, this study aims to
document what states are doing to help
refugees gain self-sufficiency; if and
how states are integrating RCA, TANF,
and associated services to better meet
the needs of refugees; and what data is
collected currently, or might be
collected in the future, to better
understand refugee resettlement
services and suggest future areas for
inquiry.
The proposed data collection
activities described in this notice will
collect data about state policies and
practices; how TANF, RCA, and
associated services are provided; the
respective roles of the various agencies
and organizations in serving
participants; how the agencies and
organizations integrate services
internally and/or collaborate with other
organizations; refugee populations
served; approaches to addressing the
particular barriers refugees face;
promising practices and strategies for
assisting refugees; gaps in services; local
labor market conditions; and
experiences of refugees accessing
services through these programs.

Notice to establish a new system
of records, to replace two existing
systems.
ACTION:
In accordance with the
requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974
(5 U.S.C. 552a), HHS is proposing to
establish a single, department-wide
system of records to cover all HHS
payroll records, to be numbered 09–90–
1402 and titled ‘‘HHS Payroll Records,
HHS/OS.’’ The new system will replace
two existing systems of records covering
payroll records for civilian and
commissioned corps personnel (09–40–
0006 ‘‘Public Health Service (PHS)
Commissioned Corps Payroll Records,
HHS/PSC/HRS’’ and 09–40–0010 ‘‘Pay,
Leave and Attendance Records, HHS/
PSC/HRS’’). The existing systems were
last altered effective September 2012
(see Notice published August 15, 2012
at 77 FR 48984, amending System of
Records Notices (SORNs) published
December 11, 1998 at 63 FR 68596, to
revise the routine use covering
disclosures to contractors and to add a
new routine use covering disclosures in
the course of responding to a data
security breach). The existing systems
will be considered deleted upon the
effective date of the proposed new
system. The SORN for the new system
includes updates or changes to the
System Location, Routine Uses, System
Manager, and Record Access Procedure
sections, as more fully explained in the
‘‘Supplementary Information’’ section of
this Notice.
SUMMARY:
Effective upon publication, with
the exception of the routine uses. The
routine uses for the new system will be
effective 30 days after publication of
this Notice, unless comments are
received that warrant a revision to this
Notice. Written comments on the
routine uses should be submitted within
30 days. Until the routine uses for the
new system are effective, the routine

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background on the New System of
Records
The proposed new system, 09–90–
1402 ‘‘HHS Payroll Records,’’ will
combine two payroll systems of records
which, until December 11, 1998, were
covered in a single system of records
notice (SORN), under the former
number 09–90–0017 and title ‘‘Pay,
Leave and Attendance Records.’’ The
two existing systems (09–40–0006 and
09–40–0010) replaced system number
09–90–0017 in 1998 (see 63 FR 68596 at
68612 and 68615), following a 1995
reorganization that transferred payroll
functions to the Program Support Center
(PSC), an Operating Division that was
