Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request, 67715-67716 [2018-28023]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 249 / Monday, December 31, 2018 / Notices 11 (Pegasys) published at 71 FR 60710 (October 16, 2006), modified at 73 FR 22397 (April 25, 2008) United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) khammond on DSK30JT082PROD with NOTICES 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 16:24 Dec 28, 2018 Jkt 247001 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. PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 67715 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.
