SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Integrated Real Estate Management System (iREMs) is being provided for rescindment from the HUD Office of Multifamily Housing (MFH) system of records inventory. The SORN was identified for rescindment for the following reason: the records are not Privacy Act records. This rescindment will have no impact to the records as it pertains only to the retrievability of the records. Records in this system are stored securely electronically or on paper in secure facilities in a locked drawer behind a locker door. A description of each rescindment justification, the applicable SORN, and an account of what happened to the records is as follows:

Integrated Real Estate Management System (iREMS) is a system of systems that aggregates data from multiple sources. Personal Identifiers do not originate in iREMS. The retrievability section of the current iREMS SORN states the system can use Property Participant data such as their Taxpayer Identification number (TIN) and the participants name to retrieve a record. iREMS users are unable to retrieve a record using Property Participant personally identifiable information (PII) from the user interface. Records are retrieved mainly based on the property identification number, Federal Housing Authority (FHA) Identification Number or the contract identification number associated with the record.

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:

Integrated Real Estate Management System (iREMS), HSNG.MF/HTS.01

HISTORY:

The previously published notice published in the Federal Register [Docket Number FR–5921–N–13] on August 22, 2016, at 81 FR 56684.
