ACTION: Notice of a modified system of records. AGENCY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) proposes to modify an OPM system of records titled, ‘‘OPM/GOVT–1 General Personnel Records’’ System of Records. The records in this system of records are maintained by OPM and employing agencies in accordance with OPM regulations and instructions. OPM proposes to modify this system of records by revising Routine Uses ‘‘s’’ and ‘‘hh’’. DATES: Submit comments on or before September 18, 2023. The modified routine uses will be effective on September 21, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Office of Personnel Management (‘‘OPM’’), proposes to make certain modifications to the ‘‘OPM/GOVT–1 General Personnel Records’’ system of records pending a comprehensive review and update at a later date. Specifically, OPM proposes to revise Routine Use ‘‘s’’ to specify that OPM may disclose records from this system of records to other Federal entities for the purpose of conducting research and statistical analysis for government-wide evaluation and reporting about the Federal workforce. In its current form, Routine Use ‘‘s’’ only permits internal use of the records for such purposes. Routine Use ‘‘s’’ currently reads as follows: s. By the agency maintaining the records or by the OPM to locate individuals for personnel research or survey response, and in the production of summary descriptive statistics and analytical studies in support of the function for which the records are collected and maintained, or for related workforce studies. While published statistics and studies do not contain individual identifiers, in some instances, the selection of elements of data included in the study may be structured in such a way as to make the data individually identifiable by inference. OPM proposes to revise Routine Use ‘‘s’’ to read as follows: s. To disclose to another Federal agency, by the agency maintaining the records or by OPM, for research or analytical purposes, including to locate individuals for personnel research or survey response, to produce summary descriptive statistics, or to conduct analytical studies in support of the function for which the records are collected and maintained, or for related workforce studies; provided that the disclosure is made pursuant to a written agreement that clearly outlines the relevant authorities, limits the disclosure only to those records that are necessary for a clearly documented purpose, and limits the use of the records for that purpose. OPM also proposes to revise Routine Use ‘‘hh’’ to clarify that the records in this system of records may be disclosed in the context of an appropriate computer matching program. The PO 00000 Frm 00063 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 current language of this Routine Use does not track the definition of ‘‘matching program’’ in the Privacy Act and the revised language is intended to correct that and permit disclosure in the context of any approved matching program that meets the definition in the Act. Routine Use ‘‘hh’’ currently reads as follows: hh. To disclose relevant information with personal identifiers of Federal civilian employees whose records are contained in the EHRI to authorized Federal agencies and non-Federal entities for use in computer matching. The matches will be performed to help eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in Governmental programs; to help identify individuals who are potentially in violation of civil or criminal law or regulation; and to collect debts and overpayments owed to Federal, State, or local governments and their components. The information disclosed may include, but is not limited to, the name, social security number, date of birth, sex, annualized salary rate, service computation date of basic active service, veteran’s preference, retirement status, occupational series, health plan code, position occupied, work schedule (full time, part time, or intermittent), agency identifier, geographic location (duty station location), standard metropolitan service area, special program identifier, and submitting office number of Federal employees. OPM proposed to revise Routine Use ‘‘hh’’ to read as follows: hh. To other Federal agencies, such as the Social Security Administration, the Department of Education, and the Department of Health and Human Services, and to non-Federal entities, relevant information with personal identifiers of Federal civilian employees whose records are contained in the EHRI to authorized Federal agencies and non-Federal entities for use in a computer matching program, as defined in 5 U.S.C. 552a(a)(8), to help eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in Governmental programs; to help identify individuals who are potentially in violation of civil or criminal law or regulation; to collect debts and overpayments owed to Federal, State, or local governments and their components; and to identify individuals as Federal civilian employees when relevant to their receiving a benefit from the matching partner. In addition to revising the abovereferenced Routine Uses, OPM also proposes to make certain administrative adjustments to the SORN to update the System Manager to reflect organizational changes at OPM and to E:\FR\FM\17AUN1.SGM 17AUN1
