SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
1. Background
Pursuant to section three of the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C.
552a(e)(4)), hereinafter referred to as the Act, the Department hereby
publishes notice of a new universal routine use, as well as thirty-
three (33) new systems of records currently maintained pursuant to the
Act. This document supplements this Department's last consolidated
publication of all of its Privacy Act systems of records. On September
23, 1993, in Volume 58 at Page 49548 of the Federal Register, the
Department published a notice containing 138 systems of records which
were maintained, at that time, under the Act. That document gave notice
of eleven paragraphs containing universal routine uses which applied,
across the board, to all 138 systems of records, except for the two
employee counseling and medical systems of records. Those eleven
paragraphs were presented in the General Prefatory Statement for that
document. Thereafter, seven new systems of records were established as
set forth in the following five documents. These five documents were as
follows: 59 FR 18156, April 15, 1994 (two new systems); 60 FR 24897,
May 10, 1995 (one new system); 60 FR 31495, June 15, 1995 (one new
system); 62 FR 16610, April 7, 1997 (two new systems); and 62 FR 53343,
October 14, 1997 (one new system). The 33 new systems published herein
will increase the total number of systems to 147 after accounting for
the 31 systems which are being deleted in this notice.
In addition to the seven new systems, discussed above, the
Department made amendments to its existing systems subsequent to the
September 23, 1993 consolidated publication. These amendments were
published in three separate documents published as follows: 59 FR
47361, September 15, 1994, 63 FR 2417, January 15, 1998, and 63 FR
25234, May 7, 1998. You should also note that amendments were made to
existing systems in the same documents which established the seven new
systems of records.
2. The Current Action
Pursuant to section three of the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C.
552a(e)(4)), the Department hereby publishes an updated consolidated
publication in full for all of its 147 systems of records, including 33
new systems, currently maintained pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974.
As noted above, the Department's last consolidated publication in full
appeared in the Federal Register on September 23, 1993, at page 49548
in Volume 58 of the Federal Register.
This notice also proposes one new universal routine use to be added
to the Department's current list of eleven universal routine uses.
These universal routine uses apply across the board to all of the
Department's systems of records. The original eleven universal routine
uses, being republished herein, are essentially a refined version of
those universal routine uses which were published on September 23,
1993, at pages 49554-49555 in Volume 58 of the Federal Register.
Besides these twelve universal routine uses, both substantive and
non-substantive changes have been made to certain of the system-
specific routine uses which appear within the body of most of the
systems.
As noted above, this notice will add 33 new systems which are being
published for the first time; it amends 60 existing systems in a
substantive manner, and it amends 29 existing systems in a non-
substantive manner. This notice deletes 31 systems.
The following is a listing of the substantive and non-substantive
additions, changes, and deletions to the various departmental systems
of records. This listing will not describe extremely non-substantive
revisions to the Department's existing systems of records.
The public, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and the
Congress are invited to submit written comments on the 33 new systems,
and on the other substantive amendments. A report on all of the new
systems and on the substantive amendments has been provided to OMB and
to the Congress as required by OMB Circular A-130.
Revisions to the Universal Routine Uses Appearing Within the
General Prefatory Statement
A. Refinements to the Current Universal Routine Uses
The Department is proposing certain grammatical refinements to the
eleven routine uses of the records which currently appear within the
General Prefatory Statement. In addition, routine use number 10,
disclosure to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), is being
broadened to include all legislative matters, instead of being limited
to private relief legislation. These universal routing uses apply
across the board to all current systems of records, except for the two
employee counseling and medical systems.
B. A New Universal Routine Use
The new universal routine use of the records proposed herein will
be
[[Page 16817]]
designated as universal routine use number 12, and will appear within
the General Prefatory Statement. This routine use will permit the
Department to disclose the fact that an employee conduct investigation
may be underway, based upon an allegation of prohibited activity, in
the event of a media request, or in the event that the subject of the
investigation has released information to the public.

notice, will be able to access information relating to the claim in

Routine Uses, by permitting disclosure of data to other governmental
agencies for the purpose of comparing transit subsidy recipients and
car pool applicants. This system of records was last published on

to list certain previously approved disclosures under paragraphs E. and

Routine Uses of the Records
The Department, in the General Prefatory Statement, sets forth
twelve paragraphs containing routine uses of the records which apply to
all systems. The first eleven routine uses are a more refined version
of those universal routine uses which were published on September 23,
1993, at pages 49554-49555 of Volume 58 of the Federal Register. The
twelfth routine use is a new use.
Government-Wide Records
Two systems of records are reported by the Department of Labor for
all federal agencies since this Department has overall responsibility
for the administration of the programs in connection with which these
systems of records have been compiled. It is presumed that most, if not
all, federal agencies maintain systems of records comprising a portion
of the government-wide systems of records. In order to avoid
duplication in reporting, the Department is reporting these systems on
behalf of all agencies. The Department has control over these systems
to the same extent as the Office of Personnel Management has control
over systems of records containing federal employee personnel records.
These systems are the Federal Employees' Compensation Act files and the
Job Corps Student Records.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 19th day of March, 2002.

B. System Location--Flexiplace Programs
The following paragraph applies to and is incorporated by
reference into all of the Department's systems of records under the
Privacy Act, within the category entitled, SYSTEM LOCATION:
``Pursuant to the Department of Labor's Flexiplace Programs,
copies of records may be temporarily located at alternative
worksites, including employees' homes or at geographically
convenient satellite offices for part of the workweek. All
appropriate safeguards will be taken at these sites.''
Government-Wide Records
Two systems of records are reported by the Department of Labor
for all federal agencies since this Department has overall
responsibility for the administration of the programs in connection
with which these systems of records have been compiled. It is
presumed that most, if not all, federal agencies maintain systems of
records comprising a portion of the government wide systems of
records. In order to avoid duplication in reporting, the Department
is reporting these systems on behalf of all agencies. The Department
has control over these systems to the same extent as the Office of
Personnel Management has control over systems of records containing
federal employee personnel records.
1. Federal Employees' Compensation Act Files: All records
relating to injury or death of civilian employees or other persons
entitled to benefits under the Federal Employees' Compensation Act
are the records of the Office of Workers'
[[Page 16826]]
Compensation Programs of the Department of Labor. The Office asserts
control of these records under the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 8149 and
Department regulations at 20 CFR 10.10. This notice applies to
copies of claim forms and other documents relating to a compensation
claim maintained by the employing agency. This notice, however, does
not apply to other medical or related files not created pursuant to
the Federal Employees' Compensation Act which may be in the
possession of an agency. This system is entitled DOL/GOVT-1, Office
of Workers' Compensation Programs, Federal Employees' Compensation
File.
Initial determinations on requests for access, amendment or
correction of records maintained in this system of records shall be
made by the OWCP district office having jurisdiction over the
particular claim. In addition, requests for access to copies of
records maintained by the employing agency may be directed to that
agency. Administrative appeals from initial determinations denying
access, amendment or correction, shall be addressed to the Solicitor
of Labor, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW,
Washington, DC 20210, as required by 20 CFR 10.12.
2. Job Corps Student Records: All records which contain
information about students during their stay in Job Corps, from
entrance to placement and/or termination, are records which must be
maintained by the Job Corps center. The Employment and Training
Administration asserts control of these records under 29 U.S.C. 2881
et seq. This system is entitled DOL/GOVT-2, Job Corps Student
Records.
Initial determinations concerning access, amendment or
correction of this government-wide system of records shall be made
by screening contractors, Job Corps Center Directors, Job Corps
National or Regional Offices. Administrative appeals shall be
referred to the Solicitor of Labor, U.S. Department of Labor, 200
Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20210.
Special California Earthquake Co-operative Agreement
The San Francisco, California Regional Office of the Department
of Labor's Office of Assistant Secretary for Administration and
Management (OASAM), Region IX of OASAM, has entered into a
reciprocal agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service's Office
of the Regional Counsel located in San Francisco. The purpose of
this reciprocal agreement is to provide each with an alternative
off-site location to store computer data. This back-up storage
capacity will mitigate damage if an earthquake ever occurs in the
San Francisco area. This agreement is based upon the fact that the
respective offices of the participants are located at opposite ends
of the downtown San Francisco district and the ground structure of
the two areas is substantially different.
Addresses to Which Requests May Be Directed
The addresses of the various component units of the Department
as well as its regional offices are contained in the Appendix
annexed to this document.
In addition, the following government agencies also have

DOL/GOVT-1
System Name:
Office of Workers' Compensation Programs, Federal Employees'
Compensation Act File.
Security Classification:
Most files and data are unclassified. Files and data in certain
cases have Top Secret classification, but the rules concerning their
maintenance and disclosure are determined by the agency, which has
given the information the security classification of Top Secret.
System Location:
The central database for DOL/GOVT-1 is located at SUNGUARD, 600
Laurel Oak Road, Voorhees, New Jersey, 08043. Paper claim files and
local databases are located at the various OWCP district offices, and
in Kansas City (for imaged cases only); claim files of employees of the
Central Intelligence Agency are located at that agency. Records from
this system of records may be temporarily located in the office of
health care providers and other individuals or entities with whom the
Department contracts for such services as examination or evaluation of
claimants. Copies of claim forms and other documents arising out of a
job-related injury that resulted in the filing of a claim under the
Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA), may also be maintained by
the employing agency (and where the forms were transmitted to the
Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) electronically, the
original forms are maintained by the employing agency). In addition,
records relating to third-party claims of FECA beneficiaries are
maintained in the Division of Employee Benefits, Office of the
Solicitor, United States Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue,
NW, Washington, DC 20210-0002, in the offices of the Regional and
Associate Regional Solicitors, and in various offices of the United
States Postal Service, which undertakes various duties relating to
third party claims pursuant to an agreement with OWCP.
Pursuant to the Department of Labor's Flexiplace Programs, copies
of records may be temporarily located at alternative worksites,
including employees' homes or at geographically convenient satellite
offices for part of the workweek. All appropriate safeguards will be
taken at these sites.
Categories of Individuals Covered by the System:
Individuals and/or their survivors who file claims seeking benefits
under the FECA by reason of injuries sustained while in the performance
of duty. The FECA applies to all civilian federal employees, including
various classes of persons who provide or have provided personal
service to the government of the United States, and to other persons as
defined by law such as state or local law enforcement officers, and
their survivors, who were injured or killed while assisting in the
enforcement of federal law. In addition, the FECA covers employees of
the Civil Air Patrol, Peace Corps Volunteers, Job Corps students,
Volunteers in Service to America, members of the National Teacher
Corps, certain student employees, members of the Reserve Officers
Training Corps, certain former prisoners of war, and employees of
particular commissions and other agencies.
Categories of Records in the System:
This system may contain the following kinds of records: reports of
injury by the employee and/or employing agency; claim forms filed by or
on behalf of injured federal employees or their survivors seeking
benefits under the FECA; forms authorizing medical care and treatment;
other medical records and reports; bills
[[Page 16827]]
and other payment records; compensation payment records; formal orders
for or against the payment of benefits; transcripts of hearings
conducted; and any other medical, employment, or personal information
submitted or gathered in connection with the claim. The system may also
contain information relating to dates of birth, marriage, divorce, and
death; notes of telephone conversations conducted in connection with
the claim; information relating to vocational and/or medical
rehabilitation plans and progress reports; records relating to court
proceedings, insurance, banking and employment; articles from
newspapers and other publications; information relating to other
benefits (financial and otherwise) the claimant may be entitled to; and
information received from various investigative agencies concerning
possible violations of Federal civil or criminal law.
The system may also contain consumer credit reports on individuals
indebted to the United States, information relating to the debtor's
assets, liabilities, income and expenses, personal financial
statements, correspondence to and from the debtor, information relating
to the location of the debtor, and other records and reports relating
to the implementation of the Federal Claims Collection Act (as
amended), including investigative reports or administrative review
matters. Individual records listed here are included in a claim file
only insofar as they may be pertinent or applicable to the employee or
beneficiary.
AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:
5 U.S.C. 8101 et seq., 20 CFR 1.1 et seq.
PURPOSE(S):
The FECA establishes the system for processing and adjudicating
claims that federal employees and other covered individuals file with
the Department of Labor's OWCP, seeking monetary, medical and similar
benefits for injuries or deaths sustained while in the performance of
duty. The records maintained in this system are created as a result of
and are necessary to this process. The records provide information and
verification about the individual's employment-related injury and the
resulting disabilities and/or impairments, if any, on which decisions
awarding or denying benefits provided under the FECA must be based.
ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES
OF USERS AND THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:
In addition to those Department-wide routine uses set forth above
in the General Prefatory Statement to this document, disclosure of
information from this system of records may be made to the following
individuals and entities for the purposes noted when the purpose of the
disclosure is both relevant and necessary and is compatible with the
purpose for which the information was collected:
a. To any attorney or other representative of a FECA beneficiary
for the purpose of assisting in a claim or litigation against a third
party or parties potentially liable to pay damages as a result of the
FECA beneficiary's FECA-covered injury and for the purpose of
administering the provisions of sections 8131-8132 of the FECA. Any
such third party, or a representative acting on that third party's
behalf, may be provided information or documents concerning the
existence of a record and the amount and nature of compensation paid to
or on behalf of the FECA beneficiary for the purpose of assisting in
the resolution of the claim or litigation against that party or
administering the provisions of sections 8131-8132 of the FECA.
b. To federal agencies that employed the claimant at the time of
the occurrence or recurrence of the injury or occupational illness in
order to verify billing, to assist in administering the FECA, to answer
questions about the status of the claim, to consider rehire, retention
or other actions the agency may be required to take with regard to the
claim or to permit the agency to evaluate its safety and health
program. Disclosure to federal agencies, including the Department of
Justice, may be made where OWCP determines that such disclosure is
relevant and necessary for the purpose of providing assistance in
regard to asserting a defense based upon the FECA's exclusive remedy
provision to an administrative claim or to litigation filed under the
Federal Tort Claims Act.
c. To other federal agencies, other government or private entities
and to private-sector employers as part of rehabilitation and other
return-to-work programs and services available through OWCP, where the

supplies.
f. To medical insurance or health and welfare plans (or their
designees) that cover the claimant in instances where OWCP had paid for
treatment of a medical condition that is not compensable under the

paid for treatment of a medical condition that may be compensable under
the FECA, for the purpose of resolving the appropriate source of
payment in such circumstances.
g. To labor unions and other voluntary employee associations from
whom the claimant has requested assistance for the purpose of providing
such assistance to the claimant.
h. To a federal, state or local agency for the purpose of obtaining
information relevant to a determination concerning initial or

those actions required by the Debt Collection Act of 1982, to collect
debts arising as a result of overpayments of FECA compensation and
debts otherwise related to the payment of FECA benefits.
i. To the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the purpose of
obtaining taxpayer mailing addresses for the purposes of locating a
taxpayer to collect, compromise, or write-off a federal claim against

such disclosure shall insure that the contractor complies fully with
all Privacy Act provisions, including those prohibiting unlawful
disclosure of such information.
l. To the Defense Manpower Data Center--Department of Defense and
the United States Postal Service to conduct computer matching programs
for the purpose of identifying and locating individuals who are
receiving Federal salaries or benefit payments and are delinquent in
their repayment of debts owed to the United States under programs

provisions of the Debt Collection Act of 1982 (Pub. L. 97-365) by
voluntary repayment, or by salary or administrative offset procedures.
m. To a credit bureau for the purpose of obtaining consumer credit

Indian tribal courts, within any State, territory or possession of the
United States, or the District of Columbia or to an order of a State
agency authorized to issue income withholding notices pursuant to State
or local law or pursuant to the requirements of section 666(b) of title
42, United States Code, or for the purpose of denying the existence of
funds subject to such legal obligation.
Note: Disclosure of information contained in this system of
records to the subject of the record, a person who is duly
authorized to act on his or her behalf, or to others to whom
disclosure is authorized by these routine uses, may be made over the
telephone or by electronic means. Disclosure over the telephone or
by electronic means will only be done where the requestor provides
appropriate identifying information. Telephonic or electronic
disclosure of information is essential to permit efficient
administration and adjudication of claims under the FECA. Pursuant
to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(1), information from this system of records may
be disclosed to members and staff of the Employees' Compensation
Appeals Board, the Office of Administrative Law Judges, the Office
of the Solicitor and other components of the Department who have a
need for the record in the performance of their duties.
DISCLOSURE TO CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCIES:
The amount, status and history of overdue debts, the name and
address, taxpayer identification (SSAN), and other information
necessary to establish the identity of a debtor, the agency and program
under which the claim arose, may be disclosed pursuant to 5 U.S.C.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING
AND DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
STORAGE:
Paper case files are maintained in manual files, while security
case files are in locked cabinets. Automated data, including case files
that have been transformed into electronic form, are stored in computer
discs or magnetic tapes, which are stored in cabinets. Microfiche is
stored in cabinets.
RETRIEVABILITY:
Files and automated data are retrieved after identification by
coded file number and/or Social Security Number which is cross-
referenced to employee by name, employing establishment, and date and
nature of injury. Since the electronic case management files were
created in 1975, these electronic files are located in District Offices
which have jurisdiction over the claim, and (as noted above under
``system location''), a complete central data base is maintained at the
location of the contractor. Prior to 1975, a paper index file was
maintained; these records were transferred to microfiche and are
located in the national office.
SAFEGUARDS:
Files and automated data are maintained under supervision of OWCP
personnel during normal working hours--only authorized personnel, with
the appropriate password, may handle, retrieve, or disclose any
information contained therein. Only personnel having an appropriate
security clearance may handle or process security files. After normal
working hours, security files are kept in locked cabinets. Access to
electronic records is controlled by password or other user
identification code.
RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:
All case files and automated data pertaining to a claim are
destroyed 15 years after the case file has become inactive. Case files
that have been scanned to create electronic copies are destroyed after
the copies are verified. Automated data is retained in its most current
form only, however, and as information is updated, outdated information
is deleted. Some related financial records are retained only in
electronic form, and destroyed 6 years and 3 months after creation or
receipt.

records. In cases where OALJ is not the official custodian, for example
matters relating to Black Lung and Longshore (and extensions) cases,
the official file is transferred to the appropriate federal custodial
agency. When a case is appealed, the case file is forwarded to the
appropriate administrative appellate agency, such as the Benefits
Review Board, or the Administrative Review Board.

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUAL COVERED BY THE SYSTEM:
The respondents in the National Agricultural Workers Survey. These
will be randomly selected individuals who are engaged in crop
activities. There will be approximately 4,000 individuals per year
included in the file.
CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
The system will contain records of the employment history and
living conditions of crop workers and their families. It will also
contain information about the wages, working conditions and recruitment
procedures, and health and occupational injury experienced by crop
workers. The records will contain the names, and addresses of the
respondents in the NAWS. All of this data will have been obtained in a
personal interview with the respondents.
AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:
5 U.S.C. 301.
PURPOSE(S):
To gather and analyze farm worker data on all demographic,
employment, wage and working conditions, health, safety, educational,
social service, and housing issues. The demographic characteristics of
farmworkers have been gathered by the federal government continuously
throughout the postwar period. Until 1987 they were gathered by the
Current Population Survey through a supplement and then elaborated by
USDA's Economic Research Service (ERS). In 1987, the OASP/DOL assumed
the responsibility to carry out this national survey, initially to
accomplish the mandate of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of
1986 to measure the supply of the farm labor during fiscal years 1990
through 1993. Along with the task of carrying out the labor supply
estimate assigned to OASP came the responsibility and the associated
resources of the traditional survey on farmworkers.
