GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION
Privacy Act of 1974; Notice of Updated Systems of Records
AGENCY: General Services Administration.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: GSA reviewed its Privacy Act systems to ensure that they are
relevant, necessary, accurate, up-to-date, covered by the appropriate
legal or regulatory authority, and in response to OMB M-07-16. This
notice is a compilation of updated Privacy Act system of record
notices.
DATES: Effective May 27, 2008.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Call or e-mail the GSA Privacy Act
Officer: Telephone 202-208-1317; e-mail [email protected].
ADDRESSES: GSA Privacy Act Officer (CIB), General Services
Administration, 1800 F Street, NW., Washington, DC 20405.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: GSA undertook and completed an agency wide
review of its Privacy Act systems of records. As a result of the review
GSA is publishing updated Privacy Act systems of records notices.
Rather than make numerous piecemeal revisions, GSA is republishing
updated notices for one of its systems. Nothing in the revised system
notices indicates a change in authorities or practices regarding the
collection and maintenance of information. Nor do the changes impact
individuals' rights to access or amend their records in the systems of
records. The updated system
[[Page 22378]]
notices also include the new requirement from OMB Memorandum M-07-16
regarding a new routine use that allows agencies to disclose
information in connection with a response and remedial efforts in the
event of a data breach.
Dated: April 16, 2008.

SYSTEM NAME:
Personal Identity Verification Identity Management System (PIV
IDMS).
SECURITY CLASSIFICATION:
Sensitive but unclassified.
SYSTEM LOCATION:
Records covered by this system are maintained by a contractor at
the contractor's site.
CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM:
The PIV IDMS records will cover all participating agency employees,
contractors and their employees, consultants, and volunteers who
require routine, long-term access to federal facilities, information
technology systems, and networks. The system also includes individuals
authorized to perform or use services provided in agency facilities
(e.g., Credit Union, Fitness Center, etc.).
At their discretion, participating Federal agencies may include
short-term employees and contractors in the PIV program and, therefore,
inclusion in the PIV IDMS. Federal agencies shall make risk-based
decisions to determine whether to issue PIV cards and require
prerequisite background checks for short-term employees and
contractors. The system does not apply to occasional visitors or short-
term guests. GSA and participating agencies will issue temporary
identification and credentials for this purpose.
CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
Enrollment records maintained in the PIV IDMS on individuals
applying for the PIV program and a PIV credential through the GSA HSPD-
12 managed service include the following data fields: Full name; Social
Security Number; Applicant ID number, date of birth; current address;
digital color photograph; fingerprints; biometric template (two
fingerprints); organization/office of assignment; employee affiliation;
work e-mail address; work telephone number(s); office address; copies
of identity source documents; employee status; military status; foreign
national status; federal emergency response official status; law
enforcement official status; results of background check; Government
agency code; and PIV card issuance location. Records in the PIV IDMS
needed for credential management for enrolled individuals in the PIV
program include: PIV card serial number; digital certificate(s) serial
number; PIV card issuance and expiration dates; PIV card PIN;
Cardholder Unique Identifier (CHUID); and card management keys.
Agencies may also choose to collect the following data at PIV
enrollment which would also be maintained in the PIV IDMS: Physical
characteristics (e.g., height, weight, and eye and hair color).
Individuals enrolled in the PIV managed service will be issued a PIV
card. The PIV card contains the following mandatory visual personally
identifiable information: Name, photograph, employee affiliation,
organizational affiliation, PIV card expiration date, agency card
serial number, and color-coding for employee affiliation. Agencies may
choose to have the following optional personally identifiable
information printed on the card: Cardholder physical characteristics
(height, weight, and eye and hair color). The card also contains an
integrated circuit chip which is encoded with the following mandatory
data elements which comprise the standard data model for PIV logical
credentials: PIV card PIN, cardholder unique identifier (CHUID), PIV
authentication digital certificate, and two fingerprint biometric
templates. The PIV data model may be optionally extended by agencies to
include the following logical credentials: Digital certificate for
digital signature, digital certificate for key management, card
authentication keys, and card management system keys. All PIV logical
credentials can only be read by machine.
AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:
5 U.S.C. 301; Federal Information Security Management Act (Pub. L.
107-296, Sec. 3544); E-Government Act (Pub. L. 107-347, Sec. 203);
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et al.) and Government
Paperwork Elimination Act (Pub. L. 105-277, 44 U.S.C. 3504); Homeland
Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12), Policy for a Common
Identification Standard for Federal Employees and Contractors, August
27, 2004; Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949, as
amended.
PURPOSES:
The primary purposes of the system are: To ensure the safety and
security of Federal facilities, systems, or information, and of
facility occupants and users; to provide for interoperability and trust
in allowing physical access to individuals entering Federal facilities;
and to allow logical access to Federal information systems, networks,
and resources on a government-wide basis.
ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE SYSTEM INCLUDING CATEGORIES
OF USERS AND THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:
In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C.
Section 552a(b) of the Privacy Act, all or a portion of the records or

component thereof; or (2) any employee of the agency in his or her
official capacity; (3) any employee of the agency in his or her
individual capacity where agency or the Department of Justice has
agreed to represent the employee; or (4) the United States Government
is a party to litigation or has an interest in such litigation, and by
careful review, the agency determines that the records are both
relevant and necessary to the litigation and the use of such records by
DOJ and is therefore deemed by the agency to be for a purpose
compatible with the purpose for which the agency collected the records.
b. To a court or adjudicative body in a proceeding when: (1) The

and is therefore deemed by the agency to be for a purpose that is
compatible with the purpose for which the agency collected the records.
c. Except as noted on Forms SF 85, SF 85-P, and SF 86, when a
record on its face, or in conjunction with other records, indicates a
violation or potential violation of law, whether civil, criminal, or
regulatory in nature, and whether arising by general statute or

pursuant thereto, disclosure may be made to the appropriate public
authority, whether Federal, foreign, State, local, or tribal, or

managed service office protects all records from unauthorized access
through appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards.
Access is restricted on a ``need to know'' basis, utilization of PIV
Card access, secure VPN for Web access, and locks on doors and approved
storage containers. Buildings have security guards and secured doors.

in transit. While it is not contemplated, any system records stored on
mobile computers or mobile devices will be encrypted. GSA maintains an
audit trail and performs random periodic reviews to identify
unauthorized access. Persons given roles in the PIV process must be
approved by the Government and complete training specific to their
