SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background
The Fiscal Service is responsible for providing reimbursable support services to federal agencies and for promoting the financial integrity and operational efficiency of the federal government through shared services. The Fiscal Service proposes to implement a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tool to allow the bureau to manage its interactions with its external ``business'' customers and vendors. This tool will be configured for the enterprise using a ``business to business'' communication model. The CRM tool will benefit the Fiscal Service in these missions by: Centralizing customer contact data and related information, thereby providing a framework for implementing bureau-wide processes to enhance the ``OneVoice'' model (i.e., centralized reference point, collaborative processes, etc.); and establishing more efficient and streamlined processes with respect to customer outreach and other communication interactions.
The records covered by the proposed system of records may include personally identifiable information for work related contacts in government or state agencies, vendor organizations and other customer organizations working in conjunction with the Treasury to achieve its mission and objectives. Information that will be maintained will include: Full names, titles, physical work address, phone/fax numbers, and email address. Without such information it would not be possible to communicate effectively with current and prospective vendors and clients. The records may be received directly by the Fiscal Service, its fiscal or financial agents, and/or contractors.
Fiscal Service recognizes the sensitive nature of the confidential information it obtains when collecting individuals' names and addresses, and has many safeguards in place to protect the information from theft or inadvertent disclosure. When appropriate, the Fiscal Service's arrangements with its fiscal and financial agents and contractors include requirements that preclude them from retaining, disclosing, and using the information for any purpose other than contacting clients and vendors for business purposes. In addition to various procedural and physical safeguards, access to computerized records is limited through the use of access codes, encryption techniques and other internal mechanisms. Fiscal Service managers only grant access to the system of records to those whose official duties require access to the information.
Information stored in the OneVoice CRM tool may be shared with other Treasury components, as well as appropriate federal, state, local, tribal, territorial, foreign, or international government agencies. This sharing will only take place after Treasury determines that the receiving Treasury component or agency has a need to know the information to carry out national security, law enforcement, immigration, intelligence, or other functions consistent with the routine uses set forth in this system of records notice. This newly established system will be included in Treasury's inventory of record systems.
As required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) of the Privacy Act, the report of a new system of records has been provided to the House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, and OMB.
The proposed new system of records, entitled ``Treasury/Bureau of the Fiscal Service--.024 OneVoice Customer Relationship Management'' is published in its entirety below.
