SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: mstockstill on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES Introduction The CSB system of records covers records for all activities that the Department carries out with regard to making and servicing Federal title IV, HEA loans, and collecting or otherwise resolving obligations owed by an individual with respect to a Federal title IV, HEA loan or grant program. The CSB system contains records of an individual’s Federal title IV, HEA loans or grants and of transactions performed by the Department to carry out the purposes of this notice. Authority to collect data to make and service title IV, HEA loans, and to otherwise resolve obligations owed by an individual with respect to a Federal title IV, HEA grant program, is provided by titles IV–A, IV–B, IV–D, and IV–E of the HEA. The Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) and (11)) requires Federal agencies to publish in the Federal Register this notice of an altered system of records. The Department’s regulations implementing the Privacy Act are contained in part 5b of title 34 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The Privacy Act applies to records about individuals that contain individually identifying information and that are retrieved by a unique identifier associated with each individual, such as a name or Social Security number. The information about each individual is called a ‘‘record,’’ and the system, whether manual or computer-based, is called a ‘‘system of records.’’ Whenever the Department makes a significant change to an established system of records, the Privacy Act VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:25 Sep 01, 2016 Jkt 238001 requires the Department to publish a notice of an altered system of records in the Federal Register and to prepare and send a report to the Chair of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the House of Representatives, the Chair of the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of the Senate, and the Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, OMB. These reports are intended to permit an evaluation of the probable effect of the proposal on the privacy rights of individuals. A change to a system of records is considered to be a significant change that must be reported whenever an agency expands the types or categories of information maintained, significantly expands the number, types, or categories of individuals about whom records are maintained, changes the purpose for which the information is used, changes the equipment configuration in a way that creates substantially greater access to the records, or adds a routine use disclosure to the system. The CSB system of records was first published in the Federal Register on January 23, 2006 (71 FR 3503), and subsequently updated on September 12, 2014 (79 FR 54685). This notice will add a new category of records to the categories of records in the CSB system. This category will include records obtained by the Department as part of the appeal of guarantee agency decisions. These records are kept by the Department in paper form and are not included in any electronic systems. Including these records in the CSB system will ensure the accurate description of the records used by the Department to carry out student loan-related activities. This notice will also add a new programmatic routine use (1)(r) to allow the Department to make disclosures to governmental entities at the Federal, State, local, or tribal levels regarding the practices of Department contractors who have been provided with access to the CSB system (e.g., Federal Loan servicers, including not-for-profit servicers, the Federal Perkins Loan servicer, and private collection agencies) with regards to all aspects of loans and grants made under title IV of the HEA in order to permit these entities to verify the contractors’ compliance with debt collection, financial, and other applicable statutory, regulatory, or local requirements, which will allow such contractors to continue their work on title IV programs. Before making a disclosure to these Federal, State, local, or tribal governmental entities, the Department will require them to PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 maintain Privacy Act safeguards to protect the security and confidentiality of the disclosed records.

agencies as part of the appeal of guarantee agencies' decisions to the 
Department and to revise the CSB system of records as a result of 
receiving multiple requests for documents from Federal, State, local, 
or tribal governmental entities seeking to verify Department 
contractors' compliance with consumer protection, debt collection, 
financial, and other applicable statutory, regulatory, or local 
requirements. To more easily accommodate these requests, FSA proposes 
to add a new routine use to allow the Department to make disclosures to 
governmental entities at the Federal, State, or local levels regarding 
the practices of Department contractors who have been provided with 
access to the CSB system (e.g., Federal Loan servicers, including not-
for-profit servicers, the Federal Perkins Loan servicer, and private 
collection agencies) with regards to all aspects of loans and grants 
made under title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended 
(HEA), in order to permit these governmental entities to verify the 
contractor's compliance with debt collection, financial, and other 
applicable statutory, regulatory, or local requirements, thus allowing 
such contractors to continue with their contracted activities for loans 
and grants made under title IV of the HEA.

DATES: Submit your comments on this altered system of records notice on 
or before October 3, 2016.
    The Department has filed a report describing the altered system of 
records covered by this notice with the Chair of the Senate Committee 
on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, the Chair of the House 
Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and the Administrator of 
the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) on August 22, 2016. This altered system of records 
will become effective on the later date of: (1) The expiration of the 
40-day period for OMB review on August 22, 2016; or (2) October 3, 
2016, unless the altered system of records notice needs to be changed 
as a result of public comment or OMB review. The Department will

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Introduction

    The CSB system of records covers records for all activities that 
the Department carries out with regard to making and servicing Federal 
title IV, HEA loans, and collecting or otherwise resolving obligations 
owed by an individual with respect to a Federal title IV, HEA loan or 
grant program. The CSB system contains records of an individual's 
Federal title IV, HEA loans or grants and of transactions performed by 
the Department to carry out the purposes of this notice.
    Authority to collect data to make and service title IV, HEA loans, 
and to otherwise resolve obligations owed by an individual with respect 
to a Federal title IV, HEA grant program, is provided by titles IV-A, 
IV-B, IV-D, and IV-E of the HEA.
    The Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) and (11)) requires Federal 
agencies to publish in the Federal Register this notice of an altered 
system of records. The Department's regulations implementing the 
Privacy Act are contained in part 5b of title 34 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (CFR).
    The Privacy Act applies to records about individuals that contain 
individually identifying information and that are retrieved by a unique 
identifier associated with each individual, such as a name or Social 
Security number. The information about each individual is called a 
``record,'' and the system, whether manual or computer-based, is called 
a ``system of records.''
    Whenever the Department makes a significant change to an 
established system of records, the Privacy Act requires the Department 
to publish a notice of an altered system of records in the Federal 
Register and to prepare and send a report to the Chair of the Committee 
on Oversight and Government Reform of the House of Representatives, the 
Chair of the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of 
the Senate, and the Administrator of the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, OMB. These reports are intended to permit an 
evaluation of the probable effect of the proposal on the privacy rights 
of individuals.
    A change to a system of records is considered to be a significant 
change that must be reported whenever an agency expands the types or 
categories of information maintained, significantly expands the number, 
types, or categories of individuals about whom records are maintained, 
changes the purpose for which the information is used, changes the 
equipment configuration in a way that creates substantially greater 
access to the records, or adds a routine use disclosure to the system. 
The CSB system of records was first published in the Federal Register 
on January 23, 2006 (71 FR 3503), and subsequently updated on September 
12, 2014 (79 FR 54685).
    This notice will add a new category of records to the categories of 
records in the CSB system. This category will include records obtained 
by the Department as part of the appeal of guarantee agency decisions. 
These records are kept by the Department in paper form and are not 
included in any electronic systems. Including these records in the CSB 
system will ensure the accurate description of the records used by the 
Department to carry out student loan-related activities.
    This notice will also add a new programmatic routine use (1)(r) to 
allow the Department to make disclosures to governmental entities at 
the Federal, State, local, or tribal levels regarding the practices of 
Department contractors who have been provided with access to the CSB 
system (e.g., Federal Loan servicers, including not-for-profit 
servicers, the Federal Perkins Loan servicer, and private collection 
agencies) with regards to all aspects of loans and grants made under 
title IV of the HEA in order to permit these entities to verify the 
contractors' compliance with debt collection, financial, and other 
applicable statutory, regulatory, or local requirements, which will 
allow such contractors to continue their work on title IV programs. 
Before making a disclosure to these Federal, State, local, or tribal 
governmental entities, the Department will require them to maintain 
Privacy Act safeguards to protect the security and confidentiality of 
the disclosed records.

benefit, to the extent that the record is relevant and necessary to the 
receiving entity's decision on the matter.
    (7) Employee Grievance, Complaint, or Conduct Disclosure. If a 
record is relevant and necessary to an employee grievance, complaint, 
or disciplinary action, the Department may disclose the record in this 
system of records in the course of investigation, fact-finding, or

person designated to resolve issues or decide the matter.
    (8) Labor Organization Disclosure. The Department may disclose a 
record from this system of records to an arbitrator to resolve disputes 
under a negotiated grievance procedure or to officials of a labor 
organization recognized under 5 U.S.C. chapter 71 when relevant and 
necessary to their duties of exclusive representation.
    (9) Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and Privacy Act Advice 
Disclosure. The Department may disclose records to the DOJ or to the

disclosure is desirable or necessary in determining whether particular 
records are required to be disclosed under the FOIA or the Privacy Act.
    (10) Disclosure to the DOJ. The Department may disclose records to 
the DOJ, or the authorized representative of DOJ, to the extent 
necessary for obtaining DOJ advice on any matter relevant to an audit, 
inspection, or other inquiry related to the programs covered by this 
system.
    (11) Contracting Disclosure. If the Department contracts with an 
entity for the purposes of performing any function that requires 
disclosure of records in this system to employees of the contractor, 
the Department may disclose the records to those employees. Before 
entering into such a contract, the Department shall require the 
contractor to maintain Privacy Act safeguards as required under 5 
U.S.C. 552a(m) of the Privacy Act with respect to the records in the 
system.
    (12) Research Disclosure. The Department may disclose records to a 
researcher if the Department determines that the individual or

there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, identity 
theft or fraud, or harm to the security or integrity of this system or 
other system or programs (whether maintained by the Department or 
another agency or entity) that rely upon the compromised information; 
and (c) the disclosure made to such agencies, entities, and persons is 
reasonably necessary to assist in connection with the Department's 
efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and 
prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm.
    (16) Disclosure to Third Parties through Computer Matching 
Programs. Unless otherwise prohibited by other laws, any information 
from this system of records, including personal information obtained 
from other agencies through computer matching programs, may be 
disclosed to any third party through a computer matching program, which 
is conducted under a Computer Matching Agreement between the Department 
and the third party, and requires that the matching be conducted in 
compliance with the requirements of the Privacy Act. Purposes of these 
disclosures may be: (a) To establish or verify program eligibility and 
benefits, (b) to establish or verify compliance with program 
regulations or statutory requirements, such as to investigate possible 
fraud or abuse; and (c) to recoup payments or delinquent debts under 
any Federal benefit programs, such as to locate or take legal action 
against a delinquent or defaulted debtor. Appendix I to this notice

for the purpose of identifying, preventing, or recouping improper 
payments to an applicant for, or recipient of, Federal funds, including 
funds disbursed by a State in a State-administered, Federally funded

for this purpose.

DISCLOSURE TO CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCIES:

consumer reporting agency to which these disclosures may be made is 
defined in 15 U.S.C. 1681a(f) and 31 U.S.C. 3701(a)(3).

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, 
AND DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
STORAGE:
    The records are maintained in hardcopy, microfilm, magnetic 
storage, and optical storage media, such as tape, disk, etc.

RETRIEVABILITY:
    Records in this system pertaining to a title IV, HEA loan borrower 
or grant recipient are retrieved by a single data element or a 
combination of the

[[Page 60689]]

following data elements to include the SSN, name, address, randomly 
generated number, debt number, phone number, debt type reference, debt 
type extension debt number, commercial name, commercial contact name, 
legacy ID, driver's license number, American Bankers Association (ABA) 
routing number, bankruptcy docket number, debt placement date, debt 
user defined page (UDP), email address, last worked date, payment 
additional extension reference ID, payment extension reference ID, tag 
short name, total balance, credit bureau legacy ID, debt type group 
short name, debt type short name, department name, institution account 
number, judgment docket number, license-issuing State, next scheduled 
payment amount, next scheduled payment date, office name, original debt 
type name, PCA group short name, and PCA short name.

SAFEGUARDS:
    All physical access to the Department's site, and to the sites of 
the Federal Loan Servicers, PCAs, the Federal Perkins Loan Servicer, 
and other contractors listed in Appendix II to this notice, where this 
system of records is maintained, is controlled and monitored by 
security personnel who check each individual entering the building for 
his or her employee or visitor badge.
    In accordance with the Department's Administrative Communications 
System Directive OM: 5-101 entitled ``Contractor Employee Personnel 
Security Screenings,'' all contract and Department personnel who have 
facility access and system access are required to undergo a security 
clearance investigation. Individuals requiring access to Privacy Act 
data are required to hold, at a minimum, a moderate-risk security 
clearance level. These individuals are required to undergo periodic 
screening at five-year intervals.
    In addition to conducting security clearances, contract and 
Department employees are required to complete security awareness 
training on an annual basis. Annual security awareness training is 
required to ensure that contract and Department users are appropriately 
trained in safeguarding Privacy Act data in accordance with OMB 
Circular No. A-130, Appendix III.
    The computer system employed by the Department offers a high degree 
of resistance to tampering and circumvention. This security system 
limits data access to Department and contract staff on a ``need-to-
know'' basis, and controls individual users' ability to access and 
alter records within the system. All users of this system of records 
are given a unique user identification and password. The Department's 
FSA Information Security and Privacy Policy requires the enforcement of 
a complex password policy. In addition to the enforcement of a complex 
password policy, users are required to change their password at least 
every 60 to 90 days in accordance with the Department's Information 
Technology standards.
    At the system locations of the Federal Loan Servicers, PCAs, the 
Federal Perkins Loan Servicer, and other contractors, as listed in 
Appendix II entitled ``Additional System Locations,'' additional 
physical security measures are in place and access is monitored 24 
hours per day, 7 days a week.

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:
    In accordance with the Department's record retention and 
disposition schedule, records for Pell Grant Program awards are 
retained for fifteen years after final payment or audit, whichever is 
sooner, and thereafter destroyed. Insured loans are retained for three 
years after repayment or cancellation of the loan and thereafter 
destroyed. The Department will work with the National Archives and 
Records Administration to develop a disposition schedule for the other 
records in this system of records. The records will be maintained until 
such a schedule has been established.
