The Office of Data Processing (ODP) maintains five systems of records subject to the Privacy Act and reported in the Federal Register. Contractual relationships with hardware and software vendors providing services to CIA make it necessary for us to disclose information contained in these systems to contractors' representatives. ODP does not currently keep any purposeful or complete accounting of these disclosures. To do so would entail an unwarranted burden in carrying out legitimate administrative correspondence with contractors for the reasons stated below. 2. ODP makes no disclosures outside of CIA from two of its Privacy Systems, the ODP Training Records System and ODP's Computer Access Files. The first of these systems is used to keep track of the Agency-sponsored training completed by ODP employees. It is a computerized ready-reference data base used for local administra- tive functions in ODP. No disclosures outside of CIA are necessary or proper because the Office of Training and Education maintains the official record for each employee. 3. The second system, the Computer Access File, records the User Identification (USERID) and Password of every person who has access to an ODP computer through a terminal. This information is used for CIA internal security management and is therefore not disclosed outside CIA. 4. Information concerning employees who are working or plan to work for a contractor, e.g., IBM, TRW, CSC, etc. on an ODP contract, is maintained in the three remaining Privacy Systems. The first of these, the Applications Tracking System, keeps track of, among other things, the hours expended by staff or contractor employees on an ODP project. This data base is used as an authority file for charging ODP customers through a Project Activity Report (PAR) for the man-hours expended on an ODP project done for them. It is also used to verify the invoices of con- tractors for billed man-hours. This verification frequently requires a Contracting Officer's Technical Representative (COTR) to discuss with a Contractor's Representative the contents of this system of records regarding the hours reported by a contractor's employee. Because there are several COTR's in ODP with authorized access to the system, no accounting is kept of such disclosures. Approved For Release 2005/08/02 : CIA-RDP84B0089OR000600140015-3 Approved For1lease 2005/08/02: CIA-RDP84130089000600140015-3 P j, To do so'would require a single point of contact who would record each disclosure in a manual or computer-based log. This would not be impossible, but it seems hardly warranted by the type of disclosure concerned. 5. The second file from which disclosures are made to contractors, again by COTR's and also by ODP's Security Officer and Assistant, is ODP's Security Clearance Records. This file keeps track of the security clearances and compartmented accesses requested, in process, or granted to contractor employees. Frequent dialogue occurs between ODP employees and contractors' representatives about the status of clearances requested for contractors' employees. Again, no accounting is kept of these discussions. To gain the control necessary to do so would require that the Security Officer be the single person authorized to discuss clearances with contractors. Such a bottleneck would hamper relations with contractors. 6. The third ODP file from which disclosures are made to contractors, usually only by the Security Officer or Assistant, is ODP's Computer Room Access File. This file keeps track of which employees, Agency and contractor, have been authorized to enter ODP computer rooms. This information is used to request Special Badge Indicators from the Office of Security and to provide the computer centers with a list of authorized personnel. Contractors occa- sionally want to know whether one of their employees has access to a particular computer center. (This is true especially of computer maintenance personnel.) ODP has not placed any restrictions on who in ODP can provide a contractor with this information. Such re- striction would be prerequisite to establishing an accurate accounting of this type of disclosure. 7. Without a clear definition of what constitutes a disclosure, ODP would find it difficult to decide what should be accounted for. ODP has taken the view that the information being discussed (disclosed) with contractors in the situations described above is necessary to the proper conduct of contractual business and therefore not subject to the accounting provisions of the Privacy Act. ODP's line of reasoning has been that the contractor, through a contractual relationship with CIA, becomes an extension of the Agency. Therefore, routine disclosures to contractor employees do not require accounting under the Privacy Act.

The Office of Finance maintains only informal temporary accountings of disclosures of formal requests submitted to the Agency pursuant to E.O. 11652, the FOIA, and the PA, since paragraph 7c designated IPS (now IPD) as the component of record for these requests. 2. In addition to the formal requests for disclosure under the acts noted, Office of Finance routinely discloses information outside CIA on employees, former employees, and other individuals in a number of ways: a. Annual submission to Internal Revenue Service (both Federal and State) on wages paid and taxes withheld. (Withholdings are based on W-4 signed by employee and employee is provided copies of W- 2.) b. Register of Separation and Transfers - Standard Form 2807 and Individual Retirement Record - Standard Form 2806: (Forms used to transfer retirement credits to the Civil Service Retirement System when an employee resigns from the Agency or retires under CS. See Attachment 1 for sample.) c. Request for Wage and Separation Information: (Form used by State unemployment offices to verify claimants record of employment. PA release authorization signed by claimant usually accompanies this form. See Attachment 2 for sample.) d. Request for Information from Employer - Form 3242 (Form used by IRS to locate persons. Employee not aware of this request and/or disclosure. See Attachment 3 for sample.) e. Request for Recovery of Debt Due the United States - Form 2805 (Form used to collect indebtedness of former employees. Employees consent is not required. See Attachment 4 for sample.) 3. The above types of routine disclosures are intended to be representative and do not include all made by Office of Finance to outside agencies. We oc- casionally have court actions (Notice of Levy on Wages, Salary, or Other Income), requests from Social Security Administration on eligibility for social security and other such official inquiries that result in disclosure of information. Approved For Release 2005/08/02 : CIA-RDP84B00890R000600140015-3 Approved Forlease 2005/08/02: CIA-RDP84B0089,00600140015-3 Our disclosures for the most part follow the requirements established by the Federal Personnel Manual, Department of Labor, Justice, or other federal entities. 4. Records of disclosures vary. Copies of W-2's are kept in a central file for three years. A computer printout is also available. Form 2807's are main- tained in a central file -as are requests from State unemployment offices and Form 3242's and Form 2805's. Copies are not filed in the employees payroll file because'of the extra volume of work and paper that would be generated. We be- lieve that each of the forms sent out of this office accurately records (1) the date, nature, and purpose of such disclosure and (2) the name and address of each person or entity to whom such a disclosure is made. 5. On the question of accounting for disclosures, we do not believe that an automated system would be worth the cost involved to establish and maintain. Given enough time, I believe we can account within reason for disclosures on any one individual in keeping with the spirit of the law.

PURPOSE a. Use by Commission. Standard Form 2807, I.egister of Separations and Transfers, serves to authenticate the Standard Forms 2806, Individual Retirement Record, sum- marized therein and attached thereto for trans- mittal to the Commission. Together with other fiscal and accounting data available to the Commission, the Standard Form 2807. is an essential document controlling retirement moneys. b. Use by agency. (1) A copy of Standard Form 2807 is the document used by an agency to retain summarized fiscal data when, upon separation of an employee, the Standard Form (or Forms) 2806 is released to the Commission or, upon intra-agency transfer, to another reporting office in the same agency. The cur- rent year and accumulative total retirement deductions on Standard Form 2807, in turn, iecome part of the basis upon which the agency or reporting office prepares its annual summary of retirement fund transactions, which is re luired as explained in subchapter S25. (2) It is preferable that as many individual re ?ords as possible be summarized on one Si andard Form 2807. However, release of one Siandard Form 2806 or of a few is not delayed a,vaiting other separations or transfers, nor is a group of individual records delayed because of inability to complete and transmit one or more records. S23-2. PREPARATION AND MAINTENANCE a. Preparation and number of copies. Standard Form 2807 is prepared as shown in appendix A. If maintenance of Standard Form 2806 is centralized, Standard Form 2807 is prepared in duplicate. If maintenance is decentralized, Standard Form 2807 is prepared in triplicate. b. Maintenance and series designations. Two series of Standard Form 2807 are main- tained by reporting offices in agencies which keep Standard Form 2806 on a decentralized basis-one series, denoted "CSC" to cover Form 2806 released to the Commission when an employee is separated, and the other series, denoted "IA" to cover forms 2806 released when employees move to another office in the same agency. Agencies which maintain records cen- trally and have only one reporting office need only the CSC series. c. Sequence numbers. Each Standard Form 2807, at the time it is released, is assigned the next consecutive number in its series. The assigned number is preceded by the number of the current calendar year, e.g., CSC 78-1, CSC 78-2. On the first business day of each calendar year, a new sequence of numbers, beginning with 1, will be started for both the CSC and IA series., The current calendar year series is discontinued at the close of business December 31. The calendar year in which the Standard Form 2807 is released will determine the calendar year number used on the Standard Form 2807, regardless of the date of separation, except for those Standard Forms 2807 necessary to correct errors made on Standard Forms 2806 released and discovered before the preparation of Standard Form 2807-2, Annual Summary of Retirement Fund Transactions.

Neither document is accepted by the Commis- sion without the other nor should the gaining office, in the case of an intraagency transfer, accept one document without the other. b. Use of copies. Agencies which keep cen- tralized retirement records retain the duplicate SF 2807. In* agencies which have decentral- OR000600140015-3 ized retirement recordkeeping, the reporting offices forward the duplicate to the agency retirement officer (or other central reporting point designated) and retain the triplicate. The retained copies are used as a medium of posting to the retirement control accounts, and also in preparing the annual summary of retirement fund transactions. In decentral- ized agencies, the duplicate in possession of the retirement officer is used to reconcile the annual summaries submitted by the reporting offices.

LOANS Al\~D PRIVATE I1~~EBTED- I~'ESS An employee or annuitant may not borrow from the fund or assign money credited to his or her account e:s security for a loan or for any other purpose. Lump-sum credit or annuit3- is generally not subject to execution, levy, attachment, garnishment or other legal process, except under certain conditions in- volving nonpati-ment of child support and ali- mony. The Commission is not authorized to induce an annuitant to satisfy- a claim of a private creditor, or to arrange for the collection of a private indebtedness from annuity payments. S29-2. INDEBTEDNESS TO THE UNITED STATES a. When setoff may be requested. Money payable from the Fund may be set off to effect recovery of any valid debt to the United States -cif all of the following conditions are met. (1) The employee has been separated. (2) The debt amounts to $25 or more. (3) The creditor agency has exhausted all other means of recovery=. (VPhen a person is indebted to his or her employing agency, the deb``t should be recovered from the final salary check and/or terminal leave payment, if any. If a person is indebted to an agency other than the one in which he or she is employed, arrange- ments should be made with the employing agency to recover the debt from an3T salary pay- ments as they become due.) (4) The creditor agency has given the em- ployee an opportunity to request reconsidera- tion of the collection, including waiver and/or compromise, as applicable. Reconsideration involves the process of- (a) revie.~ving the correctness of the amount charged against the debtor's funds and the existence of an indebtedness; InsL 28 l\ovember 22, 1978 Approved For Release 2005/08/02 :CIA-RDP84B00890R000600140015-3 (b) making a determination whether he or she is entitled to any relief (e.g. waiver) under applicable laws a.nd regulations; and (c) negotiating with the debtor- (i) to make any reduction in the amount - of the indebtedness to which he or she may be entitled, or (ii) the amount of the installment, for an- nuitants whose monthly benefit must be reduced.F b. Overpayments which are not recoverable. Unliquidated unearned (advanced) annual and sick leave does not constitute a valid indebted- ness when the employee is separated by death or retirement for disability, or when the employee is unable to return to dut3* because of disability evidenced by an acceptable medical certificate. Also, no recovery need be made for illegal payment of dual pay ithin sir years from the last date of any period involved. S19-3. AVAILABILITY OF FiTNDS FOR SETOFF Money payable from the fund may be available for setoff as follows: (1) Any annuity payment due the former employee is available. The debt of a deceased employee may not be recovered from annuity payable to a spouse or children. (2) If the former employee has less than five years of civilian service his or her lump-sum credit is available. (3) If the former employee has more than five years of civilian service, the lump-sum credit is available if and when he or she applies for refund. If he or she does not apply for refund, the annuity payments are available when he or she establishes eligibility- for annuity=. (4) Upon the death of an employee or former employee, the lump-sum credit is available for setoff. 88 - Approvedar Release 2 519-4. SETOFF PROCEDURE ~~7CIA-RDP84B~90R000600140015-3 dividual is entitled to a lump sum and the The follo~>ing procedure must be observed in requesting setoff of money payable from the fund: (1) Request for Recovery of Debt Due the United States, Standard Form 2805, must be submitted in duplicate to the Commission by the agency requesting setoff -together with form BRI 49-413A, Recertification of Request for Recovery of Debt Due the United States. Where a debt has been pursued to judgment, the Commission will honor an agency's request without? form BRI 49-413A, but a copy of the court order should be attached to the SF 2805. The Commission is aware that agencies will not? be able to obtain the debtor's consent. to the collection in every case; therefore, Govem- ment? claims will be honored upon receipt of the agency's recertification. The individual's con- sent is not a requirement; however, where the reconsideration process has resulted in a com- promise which specifies recovery of less than the total debt, or in the case of an annuitant, a. specific monthly installment is agreed upon, agencies should obtain the debtor's consent to the agreement and submit a copy to the Commission.E (2) If the debtor is an employee of the agency, Standard Form 2805 -hand form BRI 49- 413AF should be fon~~arded to the Commission when the employee is separated. Preferabl3>, the request for setoff should be made when the Individual Retirement Record, Standard Form 2806, is fo~arded; however, the retirement record should not be withheld pending sub- mission of a request for seto$. -~If s, debt exists end the individual's SF 2806 is submitted with- out the SF 2805 and BRI 49-413A, a notation should be made either in column 8 (RE- 1\~ARgS) under FISCAL RECORD or on an attachment to the SF 2806 indicating a debt is in existence and the amount, if kno~;-n. In such cases, agencies will be allowed 60 days to submit the SF 2805 and BRI 49-413A. Where the in- Inst. 28 1\ovember 22, 1978 indebtedness is being litigated, the Commission will hold the disputed amount until the outcome is decided.E- If the debtor is eligible for annuity and if the amount of indebtedness is greater than the monthly acuity, -the Commission has determined, as s matter of policy, that debts and overpayments will be recovered from the civil service annuitant in installments of no more than 25 percent of the annuitant's monthly benefit? if the recovery can be made in 36 install- ments. 'With the a~uitant's consent, a higher percentage of the monthly benefit will be taken, if necessary, to liquidate the indebtedness in 36 installments or less. Where the total debt is ver3- large as compared with the total monthly annuity, or in cases of severe financial hardship, a longer period will be taken to recover the entire debt. - Agencies seeking recovery against au annu- itant should, therefore, specify the amount of the installment unless they are willing to accept the rate established by the Commission. In situations where there has been no agreement between the. debtor and the agency, if the an- nuitant complains about the amount of the installment withheld, collection will be sus- pended, and he or she will be referred to the requesting agency to come to an aZ~reement on the installment to be collected. When a copy of the resulting agreement is submitted to the Commission, recovery will be resumed.F (3) If the debtor is currently an employee of an agency other than the creditor agency, a statement must accompany the Standard Form 2805, showing in detail what attempts have been made to collect the debt through the employing agency. (4) When a claim is filed for recovery of e pay overpayment, regardless of the reason for the overpayment, the amount of indebtedness tq be reported on Standard Form 2805. is the unliquidated balance of the gross pay over- payment, including any withholding tax, re- Approved For Release 2005/08/02 :CIA-RDP84B00890R00060014U015-3 ., ,Approver R~,~~Q5~~0~~~~4~,~~9~Q,~jO~?~8140015-3 ' tirement. deductions, and other deductions as applicable. (5) An SF 2805 filed with the Commission remains valid and in effect until the amount available .from the Fund has been fully recov- ered, or until the Commission is notified by the agency requesting seto$ that the indebtedness no longer exists. Therefore, if an indebtedness for which an SF 2805 has been filed becomes completely or partially liquidated in some way other than by setoff from the Fund, the Com- mission should be notified. Failure to notify the Commission when an indebtedness has been liquidated or reduced may result in s. setoff from the Fund for an indebtedness that no longer exists and Rill require adjustment by the agency.

The Commission uses the duplicate copy of Standard Form 2805 to acknowledge receipt of the claim and to advise the agency whether funds are available for setoff. Sfihen, and to the extent that funds are available, the Commission makes the setoff, and a check covering the amount involved, with sufficient information thereon to enable the agency to apply the proceeds properly, is forwarded to the agency at the address indicated on Standard Form 2805. b.
