I. Comments
[top] FHFA seeks public comments on the rescindment of the SORN identified in this notice and will take all comments into consideration. The Agency will post all public comments on the FHFA public website at https://www.fhfa.gov, except as described below. Commenters should submit only information that the commenter wishes to make available publicly. FHFA may post only a single representative example of identical or substantially identical comments, and in such cases will generally identify the number of identical or substantially identical comments represented by the posted example. FHFA may, in its discretion, redact or refrain from posting all or any portion of any comment that contains content that is obscene, vulgar, profane, or threatens harm. All comments, including those that are redacted or not posted, will be retained in their original form in FHFA's internal file and considered as required by all applicable laws. Commenters that would like FHFA to consider any portion of their comment exempt from disclosure on the basis that it contains trade secrets, or financial, confidential or proprietary data or information, should follow the procedures in section IV.D. of FHFA's Policy on Communications with Outside Parties in
II. Rescinded System of Records
FHFA proposes to rescind FHFA-25, Applicant Tracking System, because the third-party operated system of records described in FHFA-25 is no longer maintained by the Agency and has been decommissioned as of March 30, 2023. The remaining records that are covered in SORN FHFA-25 are not regularly used by FHFA for any purpose, are not retrievable by a personal identifier, and therefore are not a Privacy Act system of records. The remaining records covered by SORN FHFA-25 are maintained on FHFA's network and will be retained and destroyed in accordance with the Agency's records retention schedule. Eliminating this SORN will have no adverse impact on individuals, as FHFA has transitioned all job postings and applicant management to USA Staffing, which is covered by the Government-wide SORN OPM/GOVT-1, General Personnel Records.
For the reasons explained immediately above, the following system of records is rescinded:
SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:
Applicant Tracking System, FHFA-25.
HISTORY:
The system of records was last published in full in the Federal Register at 82 FR 52902 (Nov. 15, 2017).
Clinton Jones,
General Counsel, Federal Housing Finance Agency.
