    On October 7, 2012, the Secretary of the Treasury issued Treasury Order 136-01, establishing within the Department of the Treasury (“Department”) the Bureau of the Fiscal Service (“Fiscal Service”). The new bureau consolidated the bureaus formerly known as the Financial Management Service (“FMS”) and the Bureau of the Public Debt (“BPD”). Treasury Order 136-01 was published in the Federal Register on May 24, 2013 (78 FR 31629). Fiscal Service is consolidating both legacy bureau's systems of records into a new set of SORNs under the Fiscal Service name.[1]

    In some instances, FMS and BPD's SORNs have been renumbered. In other cases, parts of the legacy bureaus' SORNs were combined into one or more SORNs. No SORN was rescinded in its entirety.

    Fiscal Service's SORNs are derived as follows:

    Systems of records notice .001 (Administrative Records) is derived from FMS system of records notice .001 (Administrative Records) and BPD system of records notice .001 (Human Resources and Administrative Records).

    System of records notice .002 (Payment Records) is derived from FMS system of records notice .002 (Payment Records—Treasury/FMS).

    System of records notice .003 (Claims and Inquiry Records on Treasury Checks, and International Claimants) is derived from FMS system of records notice .003 (Claims and Inquiry Records on Treasury Checks, and International Claimants).

    System of records notice .004 (Education and Training Records) is derived from BPD system of records notice .001 (Human Resources and Administrative Records) and FMS system of records notice .004 (Education and Training Records).

    System of records notice .005 (Fiscal Service Personnel Records) is derived from BPD system of records notice .001 (Human Resources and Administrative Records) and FMS system of records notice .005 (FMS Personnel Records).

    System of records notice .006 (Employee Assistance Records) is derived from BPD system of records notice .005 (Employee Assistance Records).

    System of records notice .007 (Direct Deposit Enrollment Records) is derived from FMS system of records notice .006 (Direct Deposit Enrollment Records).

    System of records notice .008 (Mailing List Records) is derived from FMS system of records notice .008 (Mailing List Records—Treasury/FMS).

    System of records notice .009 (Delegations and Designations of Authority for Disbursing Functions) is derived from FMS system of records notice .010 (Records of Accountable Offices' Authority with Treasury).

    System of records notice .010 (Pre-complaint Counseling and Complaint Activities) is derived from FMS system of records notice .012 (Pre-Complaint Counseling and Complaint Activities).

    System of records notice .011 (Gifts to the United States) is derived from FMS system of records notice .013 (Gifts to the United States).

    System of records notice .012 (Debt Collection Operations System) is derived from FMS system of records notice .014 (Debt Collection Operations System).

    System of records notice .013 (Collections Records) is derived from FMS system of records notice .017 (Collections Records).

    System of records notice .015 (Physical Access Control System) is derived from BPD system of records notice .004 (Controlled Access Security System).

    System of records notice .016 (Health Unit Records) is derived from BPD system of records notice .006 (Health Service Program Records).

    System of records notice .018 (OneVoice Customer Relationship Management) is derived from Fiscal Service system of records notice .024 (OneVoice Customer Relationship Management—Department of the Treasury/Bureau of the Fiscal Service).

    System of records notice .019 (Gifts to Reduce the Public Debt) is derived from BPD system of records notice .007 (Gifts to Reduce the Public Debt).

    System of records notice .020 (U.S. Treasury Securities Fraud Information System) is derived from BPD system of records notice .009 (U.S. Treasury Securities Fraud Information System).

    Fiscal Service is adding one routine use to all of the systems of records to share information with other federal agencies or federal entities as required by OMB Memorandum 17-12, “Preparing for and Responding to a Breach of Personally Identifiable Information,” dated January 3, 2017, to assist Treasury/Fiscal Service in responding to a suspected or confirmed breach or prevent, minimize, or remedy the risk of harm to the requesters, Treasury/Fiscal Service, the Federal Government, or national security.

    Fiscal Service also slightly expanded the scope of SORN .003 (Claims and Inquiry Records on Treasury Checks, and International Claimants) to cover payments that will be made pursuant to the Guam World War II Loyalty Recognition Act, Public Law 114-328, Title XVII. This change is consistent with the purpose of the SORN and many other payments made pursuant to similar statutes and requirements.Start Printed Page 11777

    In addition to the changes noted above, this notice updates some of the system of records notices, changes references in the systems of records notices, and makes other administrative changes to reflect the consolidation into the Fiscal Service, such as updating the procedures for gaining access to, or contesting the contents of, records in these systems of records.

    This notice covers all systems of records adopted by the Fiscal Service as of February 27, 2020. The system notices are reprinted in their entirety following the Table of Contents.
