SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Introduction

The Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) and (11)) requires each Federal agency to publish in the Federal Register a notice of a new and rescinded system of records. The Department's regulations implementing the Privacy Act are contained in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) in 34 CFR part 5b.

The Privacy Act applies to information about an individual that is maintained in a system of records from which information is retrieved by a unique identifier associated with the individual, such as a name or Social Security number (SSN). The information about the individual is called a “record,” and the system, whether manual or computer based, is called a “system of records.”

The Privacy Act requires Federal agencies to publish a notice of a new system of records in the Federal Register and to submit a report to OMB whenever the agency publishes a new system of records or makes a significant change to an established system of records. Each agency is also required to send copies to the Chair of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and the Chair of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. These reports are intended to permit an evaluation of the probable or potential effect of the proposal on the privacy rights of individuals.

The Privacy Act also requires Federal agencies to publish in the Federal Register a notice of rescindment when an agency stops maintaining a previously established system of records, but the rescission is not within the purview of subsection (r) of the Privacy Act; therefore, it is not required to be reported to OMB and Congress.

The Department identifies the PEPS system of records (18-11-09), as published in the Federal Register on June 4, 1999 (64 FR 30106, 30171-30173), and as amended on December 27, 1999 (64 FR 72384, 72405), to be rescinded because some of the records covered by this system of records will be maintained in the Department's IPM system (18-11-21). The Department takes this action so that it does not maintain duplicate systems of records.

The IPM system is a web-accessible system created by the Department to support eligibility determination and enrollment of entities seeking to participate in student aid programs under title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), and to oversee those entities' compliance with title IV, HEA's statutory and regulatory requirements.

The IPM system contains information on individuals with substantial ownership interests in, or control over, authorized entities (postsecondary schools, lenders, guaranty agencies, or third-party servicers that participate in title IV, HEA student financial aid programs) regarding the eligibility, administrative capabilities, and financial responsibility of the schools, lenders, guaranty agencies, and third-party servicers. Such information includes, but is not limited to, the names, taxpayer identification numbers, bank account numbers, SSNs, personal identification numbers, personal addresses, personal phone numbers, and personal email addresses of the individuals with substantial ownership interests in, or control over, those entities.

The IPM system also contains information about individuals affiliated with authorized entities who request electronic access to title IV, HEA, Federal Student Aid (FSA) systems. Such information includes, but is not limited to, the individual's name, SSN, date of birth, address, phone number, and authentication information (user ID, password, and security challenge questions and answers).

The IPM system will integrate a number of core partner management functions to deliver significant improvements from both a cost and customer satisfaction perspective. The partner management functions include enrollment, eligibility, and oversight processes used to manage partner entities as they administer title IV financial assistance. The IPM system will integrate the services currently provided by legacy systems into a single IPM solution. This integration will take an end-to-end view of FSA's entire partner eligibility and oversight business, which includes the following legacy systems: Postsecondary Education Participants System (PEPS), Electronic Application for Approval to Participate in Federal Student Financial Aid Programs (eApp), eZ-Audit, Integrated Partner Management Document Management (IPM DM), and Lender's Application Process (LAP). The benefits of integrating these legacy systems will include:

  • Improved workflow automation to ensure timely completion of partner eligibility and enrollment processes;
  • Improved efficiency in case management;
  • A seamless repository of information;
  • A scalable and configurable platform that will provide maximum flexibility to meet future needs;
  • Reduced risks from leveraging current technologies to replace outdated and unsupported technologies;
  • An established base of secure and accessible information;
  • More efficient processes to meet internal and external reporting requirements;
  • Improved overall program quality by reducing errors; and
  • Reduction of the risk of FSA failing to detect a non-compliant partner.

Upon implementation of the IPM system, the PEPS legacy systems will be retired. However, some legacy systems may be kept alive for a short period of time to ensure the continued operation of our business until the new IPM system is fully functional.

SYSTEM MANAGER:

Program Director, Integrated Partner Management, Federal Student Aid, U.S. Department of Education, 830 First Street NE., Room 82D4, Washington, DC 20202.

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:

The data collected and stored in the IPM system is authorized under sections 131, 481, 487, and 498 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA) (20 U.S.C. 1088, 1094, 1099c), and the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (31 U.S.C. 7701). The collection of Social Security numbers (SSNs) in this system is authorized by 31 U.S.C. 7701 and Executive Order 9397 (November 22, 1943), as amended by Executive Order 13478 (November 18, 2008).

The Government Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA), Public Law 105-277, 44 U.S.C. 3504 note, Title XVII, Section 1704, requires agencies, by October 21, 2003, to provide the option of electronic submission of information by the public when practicable. The Freedom to E-File Act, E-Government Act, and the President's Management Agenda authorize eGovernment functions as alternatives to traditional paper-based processes.

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM:

The information contained in the IPM system will be used for the purposes of determining initial and continued eligibility, administrative capability, and financial responsibility of postsecondary schools, lenders, and guaranty agencies that participate in title IV, HEA student assistance programs, and third-party servicers contracted by these entities; tracking changes to those entities; maintaining a history of this information for all entities that have ever applied to participate or have participated in these programs; documenting any protective or corrective action against an entity or an individual associated with the entity; and establishing the identity of individuals who request access to title IV, HEA Federal student aid systems.

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM:

The IPM system contains records about individual owners (either solely or as partners or shareholders), officials, and individuals acting as authorized agents of postsecondary institutions, lenders, and guaranty agencies that participate in the student assistance programs authorized under title IV of the HEA; members of boards of directors or trustees of such entities; employees of foreign entities that evaluate the quality of education; employees of third-party servicers, including contact persons, that contract with schools, lenders, or guaranty agencies; and individuals affiliated with authorized entities who request electronic access to title IV, HEA student assistance systems.

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:

The records in the IPM system will include, but are not limited to, names, taxpayer identification numbers (TINs), and bank account numbers of individuals with substantial ownership interests in, or control over, schools, lenders, guaranty agencies, or third party servicers. The IPM system will also contain SSNs, personal identification numbers assigned by the Department, personal addresses, personal phone numbers, and personal email addresses of the individuals with substantial ownership interests in, or control over, those entities.

Records for individuals affiliated with authorized entities (schools, lenders, guaranty agencies, or third-party servicers) who request electronic access to title IV, HEA student assistance systems will also be included in the system. Such information will include, but is not limited to, the individual's name, SSN, and date of birth, address, phone number, and authentication information (User ID and password).

RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES:

Information is obtained from applications submitted by postsecondary institutions and other entities that seek to participate in the student financial assistance programs and from components of the Department; from other Federal, State, Tribal, and local governmental agencies; and from non-governmental agencies and organizations that acquire information relevant to the purposes of the IPM system.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF RECORDS:

The records are maintained in electronic data files on the IPM system servers.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF RECORDS:

The records in this system are indexed by the name of the institution or organization, and may be retrieved by an identifying number, such as, but not limited to, the Routing ID (RID) of the organization, the Entity Identification Number (EIN), or Partner ID or Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) of the entity; or the name, SSN, or the TIN of an individual associated with the institution or organization.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND DISPOSAL OF RECORDS:

Records are retained for 30 years after the final action is completed in accordance with the Department's records retention and disposition schedule 074 FSA Guaranty Agency, Financial & Education Institution Eligibility, Compliance, Monitoring and Oversight Records.

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL SAFEGUARDS:

In accordance with the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002, as amended by the Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014 (FISMA), every Federal Student Aid information system must receive a signed Authority to Operate (ATO) from a designated official. The ATO process includes a rigorous assessment of security controls, a plan of action and milestones to remediate any identified deficiencies, and a continuous monitoring program.

The IPM system controls include a combination of FISMA management, operational, and technical controls, including the following control families: Access control, awareness and training, audit and accountability, security assessment and authorization, configuration management, contingency planning, identification and authentication, incident response, maintenance, media protection, physical and environmental protection, planning, personnel security, privacy, risk assessment, system and services acquisition, system and communications protection, system and information integrity, and program management.

All physical access to the Department's Virtual Data Center system is controlled and monitored by security personnel who check each individual entering the building for his or her employee or visitor badge. The computer system employed by the Department offers a high degree of resistance to tampering and circumvention. This security system limits data access to staff of the Department, schools, guarantors, authorized third-party servicer employees, lenders, accrediting agencies, State agencies, and Department contractors on a “need-to-know” basis, and controls individual users' ability to access and alter records within the system. All users of this system of records are given a unique user ID with personal identifiers. All interactions by individual users with the system are recorded.

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES:

You may gain access to any records in the IPM system that pertain to you. This is done by contacting the system manager and following the procedures for notification listed above. You must meet the requirements of 34 CFR 5b.5.

CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES:

You may contest the content of a record in the IPM system pertaining to you by presenting to the system manager, either in writing or in person, a request to amend or correct that information. The request to amend, or for an appointment to present an oral request, must be made in writing mailed to the system manager at the address provided above. The request must identify the particular record within the IPM system that you wish to have changed, state whether you wish to have the record amended, corrected, or rescinded, and explain the reasons why you wish to have the record changed. Your request must meet the requirements of the Department's Privacy Act regulations at 34 CFR 5b.7.

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES:

If you wish to determine whether a record exists regarding you in the IPM system, provide the system manager with your name, date of birth, and SSN. Your request must meet the requirements of the regulations at 34 CFR 5b.5, including proof of identity. You may address your request, or present that request in person, to the system manager at the address above.

DISCLOSURE TO CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCIES:

Disclosures pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(12) (as set forth in 31 U.S.C. 3711(e)): Disclosures may be made from this system to “consumer reporting agencies,” as defined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. 1681a(f)) or the Debt Collection Improvement Act (31 U.S.C. 3701(a)(3)).

EXEMPTIONS PROMULATED FOR THE SYSTEM:

None.

HISTORY:

Pursuant to the requirements of OMB Circular No. A-108, the last full Federal Register publication of the PEPS system of records (18-11-09), which this system of records rescinds and replaces, was published in the Federal Register on June 4, 1999 (64 FR 30106, 30171-30173), and amended on December 27, 1999 (64 FR 72384, 72405).
