Download as PDF 35376 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 125 / Friday, July 2, 2021 / Notices lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 will engage its Driver Subcommittee for its consideration of workforce needs, at a meeting later this summer. Additionally, MCSAC will resume consideration of the following issues: • Task 20–2 will focus on the impact of the aging demographic of the commercial motor vehicle driver workforce on the truck and bus industries and whether this trend will exacerbate the driver shortage problem. Stakeholders have expressed concerns about the need to address the driver shortage, including options for allowing younger drivers to enter the industry. How would an aging workforce impact motor carriers’ ability to deliver services and goods safely in interstate commerce? For this task, FMCSA will consider data by agency experts on the distribution of age among CMV drivers. • Task 20–1 will provide the MCSAC with the opportunity to discuss changes to the package and small goods delivery sector. A number of companies are now using small vehicles (e.g., vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating less than 10,000 pounds, etc.) to deliver goods and there appears to be a gap in safety oversight of both drivers and vehicles. For this task, members will hear from Agency experts on trends in the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) crash and highway safety data.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of the Treasury (‘‘Treasury’’ or the ‘‘Department’’), Treasury proposes to modify a current Treasury system of records titled, ‘‘Department of the Treasury, Treasury .001—Treasury Payroll and Personnel System’’ System of Records. The proposed modification to the system of records makes the following substantive changes: Treasury.’’ The updated routine use makes it clear and more specific that the records may be disclosed to contractors, grantees, experts, consultants, students, other federal agencies, and others performing or working on a contract, service, grant, cooperative agreement, or other assignment for the Department of the Treasury as required, (5) add Executive Orders 9397, as amended by 13478, 9830, and 12107 relating to Federal agency use of Social Security Numbers. These Executive Orders authorize collection of the Social Security Number. The information maintained in the system is collected to evaluate individuals for specific employment opportunities, and (6) add the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Pub. L. 117–2) as an authority. The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 provides federal employees with emergency paid leave (EPL) for reasons related to COVID–19. This paid leave entitlement is similar to the emergency paid sick leave (EPSL) provided under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, but it is not a revival of EPSL. EPL may be used from March 11, 2021, through Sept. 30, 2021 by employees unable to work. Treasury is modifying and publishing the modified system of records notice to add (1) one authority to collect, (2) one additional purpose (producing of reports, statistical surveys, rosters, documentation, and studies required for the orderly personnel administration within Treasury), (3) add 6 new routine uses (1–6 of this notice), and (4) update the routine use 23 (formerly 17). This update includes disclosing information to the Department of Justice, appropriate federal, state, local, tribal, foreign, or international agency, Congressional office, the National Archives and Records Administration Archivist, and the 2 breach response routine uses.

activities necessary to carry-out the official HR line of business for 
all Federal departments and agencies that are serviced by the National 
Finance Center (NFC); (5) producing of reports, statistical surveys, 
rosters, documentation, and studies required for the orderly personnel 
administration within Treasury, and (6) maintaining information about

assessments to determine if they are entitled to a benefit related to a 
natural or man-made disaster, a public health emergency, or similar 
crisis.

the system of records notice will be applicable on August 2, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 
the Department of the Treasury (``Treasury'' or the ``Department''), 
Treasury proposes to modify a current Treasury system of records 
titled, ``Department of the Treasury, Treasury .001--Treasury Payroll 
and Personnel System'' System of Records.
    The proposed modification to the system of records makes the 
following substantive changes:

    Treasury is modifying and publishing the modified system of 
records notice to add (1) one authority to collect, (2) one 
additional purpose (producing of reports, statistical surveys, 
rosters, documentation, and studies required for the orderly 
personnel administration within Treasury), (3) add 6 new routine 
uses (1-6 of this notice), and (4) update the routine use 23 
(formerly 17). This update includes disclosing information to the 
Department of Justice, appropriate federal, state, local, tribal, 
foreign, or international agency, Congressional office, the National 
Archives and Records Administration Archivist, and the 2 breach 
response routine uses. Additionally, this modification includes an 
update to the authority to collect. The updated routine use 23 is 
consistent with the purposes of the original SORN that the records 
will be used for ``production of reports, statistical surveys, 
rosters, documentation, and studies required for the orderly 
personnel administration within Treasury.'' The updated routine use 
makes it clear and more specific that the records may be disclosed 
to contractors, grantees, experts, consultants, students, other 
federal agencies, and others performing or working on a contract, 
service, grant, cooperative agreement, or other assignment for the 
Department of the Treasury as required, (5) add Executive Orders 
9397, as amended by 13478, 9830, and 12107 relating to Federal 
agency use of Social Security Numbers. These Executive Orders 
authorize collection of the Social Security Number. The information 
maintained in the system is collected to evaluate individuals for 
specific employment opportunities, and (6) add the American Rescue 
Plan Act of 2021 (Pub. L. 117-2) as an authority. The American 
Rescue Plan Act of 2021 provides federal employees with emergency 
paid leave (EPL) for reasons related to COVID-19. This paid leave 
entitlement is similar to the emergency paid sick leave (EPSL) 
provided under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, but it 
is not a revival of EPSL. EPL may be used from March 11, 2021, 
through Sept. 30, 2021 by employees unable to work.

    Treasury has provided a report of this system of records to the 
Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the House of 
Representatives, the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental 
Affairs of the Senate, and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), 
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) and OMB Circular A-108, ``Federal Agency 
Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, and Publication under the 
Privacy Act,'' dated December 23, 2016.

    Dated: June 10, 2021.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Privacy, Transparency, and Records.
