SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Assignment of Federal Employee’s
Group Life Insurance (FEGLI) Program,
RI 76–10, allows an insured individual
to transfer ownership, or ‘‘assign’’ the
FEGLI coverage to a third party. An
insured may assign for several reasons;
for example, for financial planning
purposes, or to comply with a court
order, or to sell the coverage to a thirdparty. Unlike a designation of
beneficiary, once an assignment is
executed, it is irrevocable.

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.
ADDRESSES: You may submit written
comments by one of the following

Marc Flaster, Senior Agency Official for
Privacy (Acting), Office of Personnel
Management at privacy@opm.gov.
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

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
