    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    USDA maintains the Farm Records File (Automated), USDA/FSA-2 Privacy Act system of records to collect and manage information about the majority of agricultural producers in the United States. The mission of FSA is to deliver federal farm program benefits and loans to farm and ranch owners and operators to support farms and ranches, protect the environment, and enhance the marketing of agricultural products. The system of records covers information regarding current, former, and prospective producers or landowners, farm and ranch owners, operators, tenants, applicants, borrowers, cooperators, partner organizations, and other participants in certain FSA Farm Programs and certain CCC programs that are administered by FSA on behalf of CCC. The last revision of Farm Records File (Automated), USDA/FSA-2, was published in the Federal Register on March 14, 2012 (77 FR 15026-15033).

    To ensure compliance with all applicable federal laws, USDA is modifying one routine use and adding three new routine uses. USDA is also expanding the types of individuals in the categories of the individuals covered in this system of records. FSA is also replacing the list of specific automated processing systems in the system of records by referring the public to the FSA website for the current automated processing systems. The one revised and three new routine uses are discussed below.

    USDA is also making changes throughout the system of records notice for required updates to comply with OMB Circular A-108, Federal Agency Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, and Publication under the Privacy Act. USDA has made changes to the sections of authority for maintenance of the system, and policies and practices for storage of records. USDA removed the section of disclosure to consumer reporting agencies from the system of record notice and the section of storage is now policies and practices for storage of records.

    Revised Routine Use E

    FSA is revising routine use E to conform to OMB Memorandum M-17-12, Preparing for and Responding to a Breach of Personally Identifiable Information, issued on January 3, 2017, which updated agency routine use requirements for the disclosure of information necessary to respond to a breach of the agency's personally identifiable information.

    Proposed New Routine Use DD

    FSA is adding new routine use DD to establish that FSA will disclose records to the Department of Housing and Urban Development in support of Credit Alert Verification Reporting System (CAIVRS). CAIVRS is a federal government database of delinquent federal debtors that when reviewed, allows federal agencies to reduce the risk to federal loan and loan guarantee programs. CAIVRS alerts participating federal lending agencies when an applicant for credit benefits has a federal lien, judgment, or a federal loan that is currently in default or foreclosure, or has had a claim paid by a reporting agency. CAIVRS allows authorized employees of participating federal agencies to access a database of delinquent federal borrowers for the purpose of pre-screening direct loan applicants for credit worthiness and also permits approved private lenders acting on behalf of the federal agency to access the delinquent borrower database for the purpose of pre-screening the credit worthiness of applicants for federally guaranteed loans. CAIVRS authority derives from the Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988 (Pub. L. 100-503), as amended; Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-129 (Revised January 2013) Policies for Federal Credit Programs and Non-Tax Receivables; the Budget and Accounting Acts of 1921 and 1950, as amended; the Debt Collection Act of 1982, as amended; the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984, as amended; and, the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, as amended.

    Proposed New Routine Use EE

    FSA is adding new routine use EE to establish that FSA will disclose records to the Department of the Treasury in support of the Do Not Pay Program. In order to help eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in federal programs, federal agencies are required to prevent payment errors before they occur. The purpose of the Do Not Pay Program is to reduce improper payments by intensifying efforts to eliminate payment error, waste, fraud, and abuse in the major programs administered by the Federal Government, while continuing to ensure that federal programs serve and provide access to their intended beneficiaries. Federal agencies will do a thorough review of the Do Not Pay computer matching database, to the extent permitted by law, to determine applicant eligibility before the release of any federal funds. By checking the Do Not Pay database before making payments, federal agencies can identify ineligible recipients and prevent certain improper payments from being made. The Do Not Pay program authority is from the Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Improvement Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 112-248).

    Proposed New Routine Use FF

    FSA is adding new routine use FF to conform to OMB Memorandum M-17-12, Preparing for and Responding to a Breach of Personally Identifiable Information, issued on January 3, 2017. Routine Use FF establishes that FSA will disclose the records when needed to assist another Federal agency or Federal entity in its response to a breach of personally identifiable information.

    Privacy Act

    As required by the Privacy Act (specifically 5 U.S.C. 552a(r)) and implemented by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-108, Federal Agency Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, and Publication under the Privacy Act, USDA provided a report of this system of records to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget; the Chairman, Committee on Government Reform and Oversight, House of Representatives; Start Printed Page 10772and, the Chairman, Committee on Governmental Affairs, United States Senate.

    SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:

    Farm Records File (Automated), USDA/FSA-2.

    SECURITY CLASSIFICATION:

    Unclassified.

    SYSTEM LOCATION:

    This system of records is under the control of the Deputy Administrator for Farm Programs, Farm Service Agency (FSA), 1400 Independence Avenue SW, Stop 0539, Washington, DC 20250-0539.

    Records are maintained at the FSA county offices, the FSA State offices, the FSA National office, the FSA Aerial Photography Field Office, and the USDA National Information Technology Center. The address of each FSA county office and FSA State office can be found in the local telephone directory under the heading “United States Government, Department of Agriculture, Farm Service Agency.” The FSA Aerial Photography Field Office is located in Salt Lake City, UT. The USDA National Information Technology Center is located in Kansas City, MO.

    SYSTEM MANAGER(S):

    Bill Beam, Deputy Administrator for Farm Programs, FSA, 1400 Independence Avenue SW, Stop 0539, Washington, DC 20250-0539; bill.heam@usda.gov; (202) 720-9875.

    AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:

    44 U.S.C. 2104, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 3118, U.S.C. 2071, 18 U.S.C. 641, and 36 CFR Chapter XII, Subchapter B.

    PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM:

    To deliver Federal farm program benefits and loans that are authorized by law to farm and ranch owners and operators to support farms and ranches, protect the environment, and enhance the marketing of agriculture products.

    CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM:

    Current, former, and prospective producers or landowners, farm and ranch owners, operators, tenants, applicants, borrowers, cooperators, representatives of partner organizations, entity members and other FSA agricultural production program participants.

    CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:

    The information in the system of records consists of electronic and hard copy documentation of participation in FSA programs, including active programs as well as discontinued programs. This includes names and addresses of producers and also includes, but is not necessarily limited to:

    • Farm allotments, quotas, bases, and history;
    • Compliance data; producer entity data;
    • Combined producer data;
    • Production and marketing data;
    • Lease and transfer of allotments and quotas;
    • Appeals;
    • New grower applications;
    • Conservation program documents;
    • Program participation and payment documents; including information related to a person's indirect interest in payments through shares or interest in a payee entity;
    • Appraisals, leases, and data for farm reconstitution; and
    • For payment limitation and conservation compliance purposes, financial statements, and other applicable farm information such as tax statements, wills, trusts, partnership agreements, and corporate charters.

    The geospatial (GIS) data set, containing producer boundaries of Common Land Units (CLUs), farms, tracts, field identifiers and attributes is used to identify the location of land that can be traced back to a producer's crops and benefits. By definition, a CLU identifies a farm's subdivisions and boundaries and is recommended as the common location identifier for reporting acreage. The GIS Crop Reporting Layer, consisting of tabular crop acreage data and including producer share, is the location of land where a crop is planted, and crop acreage compliance data.

    Digital renditions of farm record boundaries include farm, tract, CLUs (fields), and personal attributes of that property such as, but not limited to, cropland designation, wetland location, program participation designation (for example, Conservation Reserve Program), and presence of structures located on a property (for example, buildings, well heads, or other identifying structures). Crop Acreage Data is used to promote a viable agriculture economy essential to effectively administering and enforcing the national crop insurance program and for the purpose of fulfilling loss adjustment obligations as well as audits and reviews of claims.

    A listing of the automated systems processing the records (that is, the FSA Systems Inventory Book) may be found through a search on the USDA-Farm Service Agency Home Page (http://www.fsa.usda.gov). The FSA Systems Inventory Book is a detailed reference guide, sourced from the FSA Systems Inventory, which compiles descriptive data and characteristics pertaining to each system, sub-system, and component; organized by Investment Number. The FSA Systems Inventory Book is prepared to provide additional information including the nature and character of the programs themselves, including the overall Information Technology (IT) environment of systems, subsystems, and components supporting them. The FSA Systems Inventory Book helps tie business and applications or systems and infrastructure back to their reason for existence—supporting the mission of FSA.

    The FSA Systems Inventory Book also maintains information about inactive, retired, and transferred systems; summary of systems listed by office; and current IT Investment listing. It is updated and published twice a year, with a wide distribution to FSA employees, contractors, and both Government and non-Government visitors.

    RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES:

    Information in this system of records is submitted by FSA State and county committees and their representatives, the Office of Inspector General and other investigatory agencies, the Office of the General Counsel, the Natural Resources and Conservation Service, by third parties, and by the individual who is the subject of the record.
