(FCA or Agency) is amending an existing system of records, FCA-3--

effective without further publication on September 9, 2020 unless
modified by a subsequent notice to incorporate comments received from
the public.
ADDRESSES: We offer a variety of methods for you to submit your
comments. For accuracy and efficiency, commenters are encouraged to
submit comments by email or through the FCA's website. As facsimiles

section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, we are no longer accepting
comments submitted by fax. Regardless of the method you use, please do
not submit your comment multiple times via different methods. You may
submit comments by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This publication satisfies the requirement
of the Privacy Act of 1974 that agencies publish a system of records
notice in the Federal Register when there is a revision, change, or
addition to the system of records.
The Property Accountability Records--FCA system is used to maintain
control over accountable property. The Agency is updating the notice to
reflect changes to the categories of individuals, and to make
administrative updates as well as non-substantive changes to conform to
the SORN template requirements prescribed in the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) Circular No. A-108. The substantive changes and
modifications to the currently published version of FCA-3--Property
Accountability Records--FCA include:
1. Identifying the records in the system as unclassified.
2. Updating the system location to reflect the system's current
location.
3. Updating the system managers to reflect the system's current
owner.
4. Updating the authorities to align with the latest statutory
provisions related to property management.
5. Expanding and clarifying how records may be stored and
retrieved.
6. Revising the retention and disposal section to reflect updated
guidance from the National Archives and Records Administration.
7. Revising the safeguards section to reflect updated cybersecurity
guidance and practices.
Additionally, non-substantive changes have been made to the notice
to align with the latest guidance from OMB.
The amended system of records is: FCA-3--Property Accountability
Records--FCA. As required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) of the Privacy Act, as
amended, FCA sent notice of this proposed system of records to the
Office of Management and Budget, the Committee on Oversight and
