Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

Riepilogo

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB or Bureau) proposes to modify a current Privacy Act System of Records Notice (SORN) titled "CFPB.009- Employee Administrative Records System." This modification introduces a new routine use to permit the disclosure of records to the news media and the public under specific circumstances. The new routine use adopts the same standard applied under the Freedom of Information Act for determining whether information relating to personal privacy interests must be released to the public. In addition, the new routine use is consistent with routine uses adopted by other Federal agencies for systems of records concerning employee personnel files. This SORN enables the CFPB to manage and administer human capital functions related to current and former Bureau employees, volunteers, detailees, applicants, and persons who work at the Bureau, and their named dependents and/or beneficiaries, their named emergency contacts, and individuals who have been extended offers of employment.
