I. Background
In accordance with the Privacy Act of
1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the U.S. AbilityOne
Commission, Office of Inspector General
(AbilityOne/OIG) proposes to establish a
new system of records titled,
‘‘AbilityOne/OIG–001 Case Management
System of Records.’’ This system of
records will allow the U.S. AbilityOne
Commission Office of the Inspector
General to collect and maintain records
on individuals who may be
complainants, subjects, witnesses, and
others who may be identified during the
course of an investigation. The U.S.
AbilityOne Inspector General is
responsible for conducting and
supervising independent and objective
audits, inspections, and investigations
of the programs and operations of the
Commission. OIG promotes economy,
efficiency, and effectiveness within the
AbilityOne/OIG and prevents and
detects fraud, waste, and abuse in its
programs and operations. OIG’s Office
of Investigations investigates allegations
of criminal, civil, and administrative

misconduct involving U.S. AbilityOne
Commission employees, contractors,
and Commission programs and
activities. This includes investigating
for violations of criminal laws by
entities regulated by U.S. AbilityOne
Commission, regardless of whether they
receive Federal funds. These
investigations can result in criminal
prosecutions, fines, civil monetary
penalties, and administrative sanctions.
The AbilityOne/OIG–001 Case
Management System system of records
assists the OIG with receiving and
processing complaints of violations of
criminal, civil, and administrative laws
and regulations relating to U.S.
AbilityOne Commission employees,
contractors, regulated persons, and
other individuals and entities associated
with AbilityOne. The system includes
both paper investigative files and OIG’s
electronic case management and
tracking information system which also
generates reports. The case management
system allows OIG to manage
information provided during its
investigations, and, in the process, to
facilitate its management of
investigations and investigative
resources. Through this system, OIG can
create a record showing disposition of
allegations; track actions taken by
management regarding misconduct;
track legal actions taken following
referrals to the U.S. Department of
Justice for prosecution or civil action;
provide a system for creating and
reporting statistical information; and
track government property and other
resources used in investigative
activities.
Additionally, the U.S. AbilityOne
Commission, Office of Inspector General
is issuing a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking to exempt this system from
certain provisions of the Privacy Act.
II. Privacy Act
The Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a)
governs the means by which the Federal
Government collects, maintains, and
uses personally identifiable information
(PII) in a System of Records. A ‘‘System
of Records’’ is a group of any records
under the control of a federal agency
from which information about
individuals is retrieved by name or
other personal identifier. The Privacy
Act requires each agency to publish in
the Federal Register a System of
Records notice (SORN) identifying and
describing each System of Records the
agency maintains, including the
purposes for which the agency uses PII
in the system, the routine uses for
which the agency discloses such
information outside the agency, and
how individuals to whom a Privacy Act
