NTSB-2

SYSTEM NAME:

Official Personnel Folders.

SYSTEM LOCATION:

Records on current Federal employees are located within the employing agency. Records maintained in paper may also be located at OPM or with personnel officers, or at other designated offices of local installations of the department or agency that employs the individual. When agencies determine that duplicates of these records need to be located in a second office, e.g., an administrative office closer to where the employee actually works, such copies are covered by this system. Some agencies have employed the Enterprise Human Resource Integration (EHRI) data system to store their records electronically. Although stored in EHRI, agencies are still responsible for the maintenance of their records. Former Federal employees' paper Official Personnel Folders (OPFs) are located at the National Personnel Records Center, National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), 111 Winnebago Street, St. Louis, Missouri 63118. Former Federal employees' electronic Official Personnel Folders (eOPF) are located in the EHRI data system that is administered by NARA.

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM:

Current and certain former NTSB employees.

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:

Records include employee's name, Social Security number, date of birth, home address, home telephone number, and specialized education. Records reflect Federal service and work experience, including past and present positions held, grades, salaries, duty station locations, and notices of all personnel actions, such as appointments, promotions, reassignments, demotions, details, transfers, reductions-in-force, resignations, retirements, removal, and suspensions. Records also include information concerning election and/or waiver of Federal benefits, including employees' designation of beneficiaries for these and other programs.

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:

5 U.S.C. 301 et seq., 1302, 2951, 3301, 4118, 8347; 5 CFR part 293; Executive Order Nos. 9,397, 9,830, and 12,107.

PURPOSE(S):

The OPF, which may exist in various approved media, and other general personnel records files, is the official repository of the records, reports of personnel actions, and the documentation required in connection with these actions affected during an employee's Federal service. The personnel action reports and other documents, some of which are filed in the OPF, give legal force and effect to personnel transactions and establish employee rights and benefits under pertinent laws and regulations governing Federal employment. These files and records are maintained by OPM and agencies in accordance with OPM regulations and instructions. They provide the basic source of factual data about a person's Federal employment while in the service and after his or her separation. Records in this system have various uses by agency personnel offices, including screening qualifications of employees; determining status, eligibility, and employee's rights and benefits under pertinent laws and regulations governing Federal employment; computing length of service; and other information needed to provide personnel services. These records may also be used to locate individuals for personnel research.

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS, AND THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:
