System of Personnel Records
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) proposes to establish a new system of personnel records under its privacy regulations, Privacy Procedures for Personnel Records. This Human Capital Management System of Records encompasses GAO payroll- and personnel-related information maintained by GAO and exchanged with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Finance Center (USDA/NFC) and the U.S. Department of the Treasury's HR Connect program (Treasury/HR Connect). To support its human capital management activities, GAO has entered into interagency agreements with these two Federal Executive Branch agencies as shared service providers. USDA/NFC provides payroll and personnel information processing (Department of Agriculture, Systems of Record Notice OP-1), and Treasury/HR Connect operates a human capital management support system (Department of Treasury .001 Treasury Payroll and Personnel System). The policies and procedures described in this notice are intended to ensure that personal information contained in GAO's personnel records is protected as provided by GAO's privacy regulation.
