The NIGC
is publishing this system of records
notice for its employees’ payroll and
personnel related records that are
hosted and/or processed by the
Department of the Interior (DOI) Interior
Business Center (IBC). The NIGC has
entered into an agreement with the DOI
IBC for such purpose. The DOI IBC is a
Federal agency shared services provider
that provides payroll and personnel
processing services to internal and
external customers, including other
Federal agency customers, such as the
NIGC. The IBC uses a system—the
Federal Personnel and Payroll System
(FPPS)—to perform these services. FPPS
and its supporting systems manage
payroll, time and attendance, and
human capital management functions,
meet regulatory requirements, and
prepare reports to other Federal
agencies. The NIGC payroll, attendance,
retirement, and leave records described
in this system of records notice form a
part of the information contained in the
FPPS. Associated personnel records also
contained in the FPPS are covered
under OPM/GOVT–1, General Personnel
Records, a government-wide system of
records notice published by the Office
of Personnel Management.
Although DOI hosts and processes
payroll and personnel transactions on
behalf of the NIGC, the NIGC retains
ownership and control over its own
records and is responsible for meeting
requirements under the Privacy Act for
the collection, maintenance and sharing
of its records. Individuals seeking access
to, notification or correction of their
records owned and maintained by the
NIGC must submit their requests to the
NIGC in accordance with this system of
records notice.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
