Proposed Amendments to Six Existing

Request for Comments
Federal Labor Relations
Authority (FLRA).
ACTION: Notice of amendments to six
existing systems of records; introduction
of a new system of records; and
rescindment of eleven systems of
records.
AGENCY:
The Privacy Act of 1974
requires that each agency publish notice
of all the systems of records that it
maintains. This document proposes the
amendment of six of the FLRA’s existing
systems of records, the introduction of
a new system of records, and the
rescindment of eleven systems of
records that are no longer in use or that
are covered by government-wide system
of records notices. With the proposed
addition and rescindment of systems,
the FLRA will maintain seven systems
of records. Additional details are
provided under Supplementary
Information, below.
DATES: This action will be effective
without further notice on November 27,
2017 unless comments are received that
would result in contrary determinations.
ADDRESSES: Mail or deliver comments to

Regulatory and Public Affairs, Federal

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C.
552a, the FLRA hereby publishes notice
of updates to its systems of records. See
5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4). This document
proposes the amendment of six systems
of records, the introduction of a new
system of records, and the rescindment
of eleven systems of records, bringing
the FLRA’s total number of systems of
records to seven. This notice first
provides a summary of the six amended
systems of records, the new system of
records, and the eleven systems of
records proposed for rescindment, and
then provides the text of each of the
amended and new systems of records.
1. In the first proposed amendment to
a system of records, the FLRA proposes
to amend FLRA/Internal-2-Appeal and
Administrative Review Records by
updating the system location and the
organizational title and address of the
system manager. The system is being
updated further to reflect that
information is maintained on electronic
and paper media, and that electronic
records are maintained in a passwordprotected automated system, with
access limited to personnel whose
duties require access. In addition, the
system is being amended to reflect that
burning is no longer a method of record
disposal.
2. In the second proposed amendment
to a system of records, the FLRA
proposes to amend FLRA/Internal-3Complaints and Inquiries Records by
updating the system location and the
organizational title and address of the
system manager. The system is being
updated further to reflect that
information is maintained on electronic
and paper media, and that electronic
records are maintained in a passwordprotected automated system, with
access limited to personnel whose
duties require access. In addition, the
system is being amended to reflect that
burning is no longer a method of record
disposal.
3. In the third proposed amendment
to a system of records, the FLRA
proposes to amend FLRA/Internal-6Grievance Records by updating the
system location and the organizational
title and address of the system manager.
The system is being updated further to
reflect that information is maintained on
electronic and paper media, and that
electronic records are maintained in a
password-protected automated system,
with access limited to personnel whose
duties require access. In addition, the
system is being amended to: (1) Reflect
that burning no longer is a method of

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 207 / Friday, October 27, 2017 / Notices
record disposal; and (2) change the
record-retention period from three years
after closing of the case to four to seven
years after closing of the case, as
required by the National Archives and
Records Administration (NARA)
General Records Schedule 30, item 30a.
4. In the fourth proposed amendment
to a system of records, the FLRA
proposes to amend FLRA/Internal-10Employee Locator Card Files by
updating the system name to FLRA/
Internal-10-Organization Management
and Locator System, the system
location, and the organizational title and
address of the system manager. The
system is being updated further to
reflect that information is maintained on
electronic media.
5. In the fifth amendment to a system
of records, the FLRA proposes to amend
FLRA/Internal-15-Pay, Leave and Travel
Records by amending its name to FLRA/
Internal-15-Personnel and Payroll
System Records and removing all
references to travel records, which
FLRA no longer maintains. Rather, the
FLRA’s travel records are maintained in
a system operated by a contractor and,
therefore, are covered by a governmentwide System of Records Notice: GSA/
GOVT–4, Contracted Travel Services
Program.
In addition, the FLRA proposes to
amend this system of records to reflect
updates to FLRA payroll and personnel
data processes and services. The FLRA
maintains FLRA/Internal-15-Personnel
and Payroll System Records to manage
payroll and personnel data for FLRA
employees, ensure proper payment of
salary and benefits to FLRA personnel,
and track time worked and leave or
other absences for reporting and
compliance purposes. The FLRA has
entered into an agreement with the
Department of the Interior (DOI) Interior
Business Center (IBC), a Federal agency
shared service provider, to provide
payroll and personnel processing
services through DOI’s Federal
Personnel and Payroll System (FPPS).
Although DOI will host and process
payroll and personnel data on behalf of
the FLRA, the FLRA will retain
ownership and control over its own
data. The FLRA has included a routine
use in this notice to permit sharing of
records with DOI for hosting and
support services. Individuals seeking
access to their records owned and
maintained by the FLRA must submit
their requests to the FLRA as outlined
in the Record Access Procedures,
Contesting Record Procedures, and
Notification Procedures sections in the
amended SORN.
6. In the sixth amendment to a system
of records, the FLRA proposes to amend
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:54 Oct 26, 2017
Jkt 244001
FLRA/OIG-1-Office of the Inspector
General Investigative Files by updating
the system location and the
organizational title and address of the
system manager. The system is being
updated further to reflect that
information is maintained on electronic
media. In addition, the system is being
amended to reflect that the FLRA
obtained approval from NARA to
modify the system’s records-retention
period such that only certain types of
records must be retained permanently.
Also, the contact for notification, record
access, and contesting record
procedures has been changed from the
Office of the Solicitor to the Office of
the Inspector General.
7. The new system of records is
entitled FLRA/Internal-17-Freedom of
Information Act Request and Appeal
Files. This system contains records
concerning the FLRA’s Freedom of
Information Act program.
8. The FLRA proposes to rescind
eleven systems of records that are no
longer in use by the FLRA or that are
covered by government-wide system of
records notices.
a. The first system of records, FLRA/
Internal-1-Employee Occupational
Health Program Records, is proposed for
rescindment because the FLRA no
longer collects or retains data on FLRA
employees using health services under
the Federal Employees Group Health
Program. Instead, the Federal
Occupational Health (FOH)/Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS) is
now the custodian of these records, and
those records are covered under OPM/
GOVT-10 Employee Medical File
System Records.
b. The second system of records
proposed for rescindment, FLRA/
Internal-4-Applicants for Employment
Records, is proposed for rescindment
because those records are covered under
OPM/GOVT-5 Recruiting, Examining,
and Placement Records, and a separate
FLRA System of Records would be
duplicative.
c. The third system of records
proposed for rescindment, FLRA/
Internal-5-Preemployment Inquiry
Records, is proposed for rescindment
because those records are covered under
OPM/GOVT-5 Recruiting, Examining,
and Placement Records, and a separate
FLRA System of Records would be
duplicative.
d. The fourth system of records
proposed for rescindment, FLRA/
Internal-7-Employee Incentive Award
and Recognition Files, is proposed for
rescindment because those records are
covered under OPM/GOVT-2 Employee
Performance File System Records, and a
PO 00000
Frm 00023
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
49803
separate FLRA System of Records would
be duplicative.
e. The fifth system of records, FLRA/
Internal-8-Employee Assistance Program
Records, is proposed for rescindment
because the FLRA no longer collects or
retains data on FLRA employees using
Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
services. Instead, FOH/HHS is the
custodian of these records, and it has
published HHS System of Records
Notice, 09–90–0010, EAP Records,
which covers Federal employees and
their family members using EAP
through contractual agreement between
HHS and their organizations.
f. The sixth system of records, FLRA/
Internal-9-Federal Executive
Development Program Records, is
proposed for rescindment because the
FLRA no longer runs a Federal
Executive Development Program and, if
it did run such a program in the future,
the FLRA would retain such records
under OPM/GOVT-1 General Personnel
Records.
g. The seventh system of records
proposed for rescindment, FLRA/
Internal-11-Training Records, is
proposed for rescindment because those
records are covered under OPM/GOVT1 General Personnel Records, and a
separate FLRA System of Records would
be duplicative.
h. The eighth system of records
proposed for rescindment, FLRA/
Internal-12-Performance Evaluation/
Rating Records, is proposed for
rescindment because the FLRA retains
such records under OPM/GOVT-2
Employee Performance File System
Records, and a separate FLRA System of
Records would be duplicative.
i. The ninth system of records
proposed for rescindment, FLRA/
Internal-13-Intern Program and Upward
Mobility Program Records, contains
intern recruiting information pertaining
to the internship program covered under
OPM/GOVT-5 Recruiting, Examining,
and Placement Records, and a separate
FLRA System of Records would be
duplicative. The FLRA no longer runs
an Upward Mobility Program or retains
records of such a program.
j. The tenth system of records, FLRA/
Internal-14-Motor Vehicle Accident
Reports, is proposed for rescindment
because the FLRA no longer possesses
any such records. Records previously
maintained under this system have been
destroyed.
k. The eleventh system of records,
FLRA/Internal-16-Occupational Injury
and Illness Records, is proposed for
rescindment because the FLRA retains
such records under DOL/GOVT-1 Office
of Worker’s Compensation Programs,
Federal Employees’ Compensation Act

The public, the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB), and the Congress are
invited to submit written comments on
the new system of records, the proposed
amendments to the six existing systems
of records, and the proposed
rescindment of the eleven systems of
records. A report on the proposed
amendments, additions, and
rescindments to the FLRA’s systems of
records has been provided to OMB and
Congress as required by OMB Circular
A–108, and 5 U.S.C. 552a(r).

FEDERAL LABOR RELATIONS AUTHORITY
Privacy Act of 1974; Publication of Proposed Amendments to Six
Existing Systems of Records; Introduction of a New System of Records;
Rescindment of Eleven Systems of Records; Request for Comments
AGENCY: Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA).
ACTION: Notice of amendments to six existing systems of records;
introduction of a new system of records; and rescindment of eleven
systems of records.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Privacy Act of 1974 requires that each agency publish
notice of all the systems of records that it maintains. This document
proposes the amendment of six of the FLRA's existing systems of
records, the introduction of a new system of records, and the
rescindment of eleven systems of records that are no longer in use or
that are covered by government-wide system of records notices. With the
proposed addition and rescindment of systems, the FLRA will maintain
seven systems of records. Additional details are provided under
Supplementary Information, below.
DATES: This action will be effective without further notice on November
27, 2017 unless comments are received that would result in contrary
determinations.
ADDRESSES: Mail or deliver comments to Gina K. Grippando, Counsel for
Regulatory and Public Affairs, Federal Labor Relations Authority, 1400
K Street NW., Washington, DC 20424; or email [email protected].
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Fred B. Jacob, Solicitor and Senior
Agency Official for Privacy, Federal Labor Relations Authority, 1400 K
Street NW., Washington, DC 20424; (202) 218-7999; fax: (202) 343-1007;
or email [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974, 5
U.S.C. 552a, the FLRA hereby publishes notice of updates to its systems
of records. See 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4). This document proposes the
amendment of six systems of records, the introduction of a new system
of records, and the rescindment of eleven systems of records, bringing
the FLRA's total number of systems of records to seven. This notice
first provides a summary of the six amended systems of records, the new
system of records, and the eleven systems of records proposed for
rescindment, and then provides the text of each of the amended and new
systems of records.
1. In the first proposed amendment to a system of records, the FLRA
proposes to amend FLRA/Internal-2-Appeal and Administrative Review
Records by updating the system location and the organizational title
and address of the system manager. The system is being updated further
to reflect that information is maintained on electronic and paper
media, and that electronic records are maintained in a password-
protected automated system, with access limited to personnel whose
duties require access. In addition, the system is being amended to
reflect that burning is no longer a method of record disposal.
2. In the second proposed amendment to a system of records, the
FLRA proposes to amend FLRA/Internal-3-Complaints and Inquiries Records
by updating the system location and the organizational title and
address of the system manager. The system is being updated further to
reflect that information is maintained on electronic and paper media,
and that electronic records are maintained in a password-protected
automated system, with access limited to personnel whose duties require
access. In addition, the system is being amended to reflect that
burning is no longer a method of record disposal.
3. In the third proposed amendment to a system of records, the FLRA
proposes to amend FLRA/Internal-6-Grievance Records by updating the
system location and the organizational title and address of the system
manager. The system is being updated further to reflect that
information is maintained on electronic and paper media, and that
electronic records are maintained in a password-protected automated
system, with access limited to personnel whose duties require access.
In addition, the system is being amended to: (1) Reflect that burning
no longer is a method of
[[Page 49803]]
record disposal; and (2) change the record-retention period from three
years after closing of the case to four to seven years after closing of
the case, as required by the National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA) General Records Schedule 30, item 30a.
4. In the fourth proposed amendment to a system of records, the
FLRA proposes to amend FLRA/Internal-10-Employee Locator Card Files by
updating the system name to FLRA/Internal-10-Organization Management
and Locator System, the system location, and the organizational title
and address of the system manager. The system is being updated further
to reflect that information is maintained on electronic media.
5. In the fifth amendment to a system of records, the FLRA proposes
to amend FLRA/Internal-15-Pay, Leave and Travel Records by amending its
name to FLRA/Internal-15-Personnel and Payroll System Records and
removing all references to travel records, which FLRA no longer
maintains. Rather, the FLRA's travel records are maintained in a system
operated by a contractor and, therefore, are covered by a government-
wide System of Records Notice: GSA/GOVT-4, Contracted Travel Services
Program.
In addition, the FLRA proposes to amend this system of records to
reflect updates to FLRA payroll and personnel data processes and
services. The FLRA maintains FLRA/Internal-15-Personnel and Payroll
System Records to manage payroll and personnel data for FLRA employees,
ensure proper payment of salary and benefits to FLRA personnel, and
track time worked and leave or other absences for reporting and
compliance purposes. The FLRA has entered into an agreement with the
Department of the Interior (DOI) Interior Business Center (IBC), a
Federal agency shared service provider, to provide payroll and
personnel processing services through DOI's Federal Personnel and
Payroll System (FPPS). Although DOI will host and process payroll and
personnel data on behalf of the FLRA, the FLRA will retain ownership
and control over its own data. The FLRA has included a routine use in
this notice to permit sharing of records with DOI for hosting and
support services. Individuals seeking access to their records owned and
maintained by the FLRA must submit their requests to the FLRA as
outlined in the Record Access Procedures, Contesting Record Procedures,
and Notification Procedures sections in the amended SORN.
6. In the sixth amendment to a system of records, the FLRA proposes
to amend FLRA/OIG-1-Office of the Inspector General Investigative Files
by updating the system location and the organizational title and
address of the system manager. The system is being updated further to
reflect that information is maintained on electronic media. In
addition, the system is being amended to reflect that the FLRA obtained
approval from NARA to modify the system's records-retention period such
that only certain types of records must be retained permanently. Also,
the contact for notification, record access, and contesting record
procedures has been changed from the Office of the Solicitor to the
Office of the Inspector General.
7. The new system of records is entitled FLRA/Internal-17-Freedom
of Information Act Request and Appeal Files. This system contains
records concerning the FLRA's Freedom of Information Act program.
8. The FLRA proposes to rescind eleven systems of records that are
no longer in use by the FLRA or that are covered by government-wide
system of records notices.
a. The first system of records, FLRA/Internal-1-Employee
Occupational Health Program Records, is proposed for rescindment
because the FLRA no longer collects or retains data on FLRA employees
using health services under the Federal Employees Group Health Program.
Instead, the Federal Occupational Health (FOH)/Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) is now the custodian of these records, and those
records are covered under OPM/GOVT-10 Employee Medical File System
Records.
b. The second system of records proposed for rescindment, FLRA/
Internal-4-Applicants for Employment Records, is proposed for
rescindment because those records are covered under OPM/GOVT-5
Recruiting, Examining, and Placement Records, and a separate FLRA
System of Records would be duplicative.
c. The third system of records proposed for rescindment, FLRA/
Internal-5-Preemployment Inquiry Records, is proposed for rescindment
because those records are covered under OPM/GOVT-5 Recruiting,
Examining, and Placement Records, and a separate FLRA System of Records
would be duplicative.
d. The fourth system of records proposed for rescindment, FLRA/
Internal-7-Employee Incentive Award and Recognition Files, is proposed
for rescindment because those records are covered under OPM/GOVT-2
Employee Performance File System Records, and a separate FLRA System of
Records would be duplicative.
e. The fifth system of records, FLRA/Internal-8-Employee Assistance
Program Records, is proposed for rescindment because the FLRA no longer
collects or retains data on FLRA employees using Employee Assistance
Program (EAP) services. Instead, FOH/HHS is the custodian of these
records, and it has published HHS System of Records Notice, 09-90-0010,
EAP Records, which covers Federal employees and their family members
using EAP through contractual agreement between HHS and their
organizations.
f. The sixth system of records, FLRA/Internal-9-Federal Executive
Development Program Records, is proposed for rescindment because the
FLRA no longer runs a Federal Executive Development Program and, if it
did run such a program in the future, the FLRA would retain such
records under OPM/GOVT-1 General Personnel Records.
g. The seventh system of records proposed for rescindment, FLRA/
Internal-11-Training Records, is proposed for rescindment because those
records are covered under OPM/GOVT-1 General Personnel Records, and a
separate FLRA System of Records would be duplicative.
h. The eighth system of records proposed for rescindment, FLRA/
Internal-12-Performance Evaluation/Rating Records, is proposed for
rescindment because the FLRA retains such records under OPM/GOVT-2
Employee Performance File System Records, and a separate FLRA System of
Records would be duplicative.
i. The ninth system of records proposed for rescindment, FLRA/
Internal-13-Intern Program and Upward Mobility Program Records,
contains intern recruiting information pertaining to the internship
program covered under OPM/GOVT-5 Recruiting, Examining, and Placement
Records, and a separate FLRA System of Records would be duplicative.
The FLRA no longer runs an Upward Mobility Program or retains records
of such a program.
j. The tenth system of records, FLRA/Internal-14-Motor Vehicle
Accident Reports, is proposed for rescindment because the FLRA no
longer possesses any such records. Records previously maintained under
this system have been destroyed.
k. The eleventh system of records, FLRA/Internal-16-Occupational
Injury and Illness Records, is proposed for rescindment because the
FLRA retains such records under DOL/GOVT-1 Office of Worker's
Compensation Programs, Federal Employees' Compensation Act
[[Page 49804]]
File, and a separate FLRA System of Records would be duplicative.
The public, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and the
Congress are invited to submit written comments on the new system of
records, the proposed amendments to the six existing systems of
records, and the proposed rescindment of the eleven systems of records.
A report on the proposed amendments, additions, and rescindments to the
FLRA's systems of records has been provided to OMB and Congress as
required by OMB Circular A-108, and 5 U.S.C. 552a(r).

appearance of a witness, information that is relevant to the subject
matter involved in a pending judicial or administrative proceeding.
i. To disclose information to officials of: The Merit Systems

entity (including its information systems, programs, and operations),
the Federal Government, or national security, resulting from a
suspected or confirmed breach.
l. To contractors, grantees, experts, consultants, students, and
