Narrative Statement on Modifying a
System of Records Under the Privacy
Act of 1974: USDA/OCFO–10
Purpose and Scope
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s
(USDA) Office of the Chief Financial
Officer (OCFO), Associate Chief
Financial Officer for Shared Services, is
modifying the system of records notice
titled ‘‘Financial Systems, OCFO–10’’
(Financial Systems). This modification
is in support of four new routine uses:
One routine use between the USDA
OCFO and the U.S. Department of the
Treasury under the Do not Pay
initiative; two mandatory routine uses
to address breach notification as
required by OMB M–17–12; and a
general routine use to include
contractors, grantees, etc.
The primary goal of Financial
Systems is to improve the Department’s
financial performance by providing
USDA with a modern, efficient core
financial system that complies with all
legislative and management mandates;
integrates with existing and emerging egovernment initiatives; and provides
support to the USDA mission. Financial
Systems includes integration with the
financial and administrative feeder
systems, realignment of affected
business processes, and clear
communication to stakeholders.
Financial Systems is capable of realtime transaction processing and
updates, including immediate budget
updating; users and managers have
access to the most up-to-date
information for an accurate view of
available funds and greatly improved
management information reporting.
USDA became the owner and manager
of a system formally owned and
managed by the General Services
Administration (GSA) called Pegasys
Financial Services (Pegasys) in fiscal
year 2016. Pegasys is a Federal financial
management system. The consolidation
of Pegasys (also known as GSA/PPFM–
11) into Financial Systems will place all
of the current electronic applications
that OCFO uses into a single System of
Records Notice.
Pegasys is part of USDA/OCFO and
operates a financial management line of
business that serves the needs of Federal
Government agencies. Pegasys supports
all accounting functions related to
accounts payable and accounts
receivable; financial treatment of the
acquiring and disposing of assets; and
VerDate Sep<11>2014

general accounting functions, such as
performing/processing cost transfers,
prior-year recovery sampling/validation,
Financial Management Services 224
reporting, standard general ledger
reconciliations, journal entries,
accounting reports, analysis of standard
general ledger accounts, and external
customers’ financial reporting. Pegasys
is a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)
package that is based on CGI Federal’s
Momentum Financials, which is used in
the processing of accounting
transactions.
Authority for Collecting, Maintaining,
Using, and Disseminating Information
in OCFO
The authority for USDA to collect,
maintain, use, and disseminate
information through Financial Systems
is the Chief Financial Officers Act of
1990 (Pub. L. 101–576).
The Routine Use Satisfies the
Compatibility Requirement of the
Privacy Act
In addition to those disclosures
generally permitted under 5 U.S.C.
552a(b) of the Privacy Act of 1974, all
or a portion of the records or
information contained in this system
may be disclosed outside of USDA as a
routine use under U.S.C. 552a(b)(3), as
stated in the Notice and is summarized
here for this modification. Financial
Systems also includes the consolidation
of GSA’s Pegasys, into Financial
Systems.
This modification includes a new
routine use for the Do Not Pay initiative
in compliance of Improper Payments,
which is compatible with the following
routine uses of this system of records of
a financial management system: (1) The
two required routine uses identified in
OMB M–17–12 for notice and breach
notification, which is compatible with
the necessity of the government to deal
with breaches; and (2) routine use for
contractors, grantees, and etc., system
support, which is compatible with the
need of contractor support for Financial
Systems. Pegasys data will not be used
as a routine use for the Do Not Pay
initiative; however, the other routine
uses are compatible with the Pegasys
system of records as a financial system.
Probable or Potential Effects on the
Privacy of Individuals
Although there is some risk to the
privacy of individuals, that risk is
outweighed by the benefit of a proven
financial management system. In
addition, safeguards are in place by
protecting against unauthorized
disclosure. Records are accessible only
to individuals who are authorized.

Logical, physical, and electronic
safeguards are employed to ensure
security. Financial Systems and Pegasys
have successfully attained ‘‘the
authority to operate,’’ in the security
assessment and authorization process,
and have successfully attained risk
assessments, which include security
scanning and patching.
