Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

Published . Updated .

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of the Treasury, Departmental Offices, proposes to establish a new system of records titled, "Department of the Treasury .033--Federal Student Aid Portfolio Research, Analysis, Oversight, Reporting, and Compliance Records." The purpose of this system of records is to allow the Office of the Fiscal Assistant Secretary and the Office of Economic Policy to receive and maintain records necessary to administer, oversee, monitor, report on, and ensure compliance with Treasury responsibilities associated with Treasury's oversight and management of federal student aid portfolio activities performed in coordination with the U.S. Department of Education pursuant to an interagency agreement. The Department of Education will provide Treasury access to personally identifiable information and other data concerning recipients of federal student aid grants and federal student loans made under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended. The information will originate from, or be derived from, Education systems and datasets subject to an interagency data sharing agreement, including the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS), Default Management Collection System (DMCS), and Enterprise Data Management & Analytics Platform Services (EDMAPS). This SORN covers records and information received from these Education systems, together with Treasury-generated analyses, reports, compliance records, and other records created in the performance of Treasury's authorized functions under applicable statutes and interagency agreements, including the Economy Act or other legally operative authorities, as applicable.
