Agencies and Commissions December 15, 2021 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) proposes to modify a system of records titled, ``USAID-19, Travel and Transportation Records,'' last published on December 30, 2014. USAID is modifying its SORN category of records as Social Security Numbers are no longer collected. This system supports End-to-End Travel (E2E) Solutions, which is an end-to-end web-based travel and expense management tool for paperless travel authorization/voucher routing, calculation of per diem, obligation of funds, receipts imaging, and voucher disbursements in accordance with the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) and Agency policies in the Automated Directive System (ADS). The E2E system is used to create and track travel authorizations, travel vouchers and reimbursements, book on-line travel reservations, obtain electronic approvals, and create and submit expense reports for senior- level Agency officials. The information collected from individuals facilitates official Agency travel, such as issuing travel tickets, approving hotels and per diem rates, and confirming that travel is official. The personally identifiable information (PII) data elements are collected and input into the E2E system, Integrated Logistics Management System (ILMS), and Phoenix Financial Management System in support of these USAID business functions relating to USAID personnel travel.

The United States Postal Service[supreg] (USPS[supreg]) is proposing to revise a Customer Privacy Act Systems of Records (SOR). These modifications are being made to reflect enhanced functionality within an integrated technology system that supports USPS Identity Verification Services (IVS) and will seek to enhance In-Person Identity Proofing Capabilities to voluntarily align with National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 800.63A Digital Identity standards. This enhanced functionality will be used to meet internal USPS needs and the requirements of other Federal government agencies. Modifications to this SOR are also being proposed to support a separate initiative that enhances the In-Person enrollment process for the Informed Delivery[supreg] feature, with an objective to improve the customer experience.
