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.

relevant and necessary to the litigation and the use of such records 
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

another agency or entity) that rely upon the compromised information; 
and (3) the disclosure made to such agencies, entities, and persons is 
reasonably necessary to assist in connection with GSA's efforts to
