DOCUMENT ACTION: Notice of amendment to systems of records.

SUBJECT CATEGORY: Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight; Privacy Act of 1974, as Amended; Amendment of Systems of Records

DATES: Written comments must be received by or before July 28, 2008. If no public comments are received, the proposed new system of records will become effective on August 6, 2008.

DOCUMENT SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a (Privacy Act), the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) is issuing public notice of its intent to revise one existing system of records and delete one existing system of records. The systems are being revised or deleted as a result of reevaluation of the manner in which OFHEO maintains the records. OFHEO is combining these two systems of records into one expanded system, therefore, OFHEO05, Senior Staff Biography System will be deleted, and the number OFHEO05 reserved for future use. The revised system, OFHEO03, Employee Identification Card System will be renamed the Staff Information and Identification System and will include information formerly maintained in OFHEO05, Senior Staff Biography System. Revisions will incorporate administrative changes that have taken place since the last publication of OFHEO03 at 63 FR 9007 on February 23, 1998.

The revised system of records will consist of information on employees and contractors in order to issue temporary identification cards; provide biographical information to the media and other groups which request information on OFHEO staff as speakers or panel participants; and provide a resource to allow management to identify employees and contractors by their photograph, status and
organizational office.
