Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

Resumen

Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, USDA proposes to modify 12 systems of records to include a new routine use that permits disclosure of records to the U.S. Department of the Treasury for the purpose of identifying, preventing, or recouping improper payment consistent with applicable law. This modification notice describes the routine use and identifies the affected systems. In the modified systems of records, USDA maintains records associated with rural development program participants; business and vendor information supporting food and nutrition services; financial and customer data related to farm service programs; veterinary loan administration; compliance and enforcement activities under the Federal Crop Insurance Act; employee assistance and benefit programs; and USDA's accounting, budgeting, procurement, and acquisition functions.
