Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974, the Export Import Bank of the United States ("EXIM", "EXIM Bank", or "The Bank") proposes to update a system of records notice ("SORN"). The updated system of records described in this notice, EXIM Federal Personnel Payroll System (FPPS) enables EXIM's Security Office staff to process EXIM's personnel, payroll, and time and labor data to facilitate payments, benefits, and pensions. FPPS also provides personnel and payroll data to the FPPS Datamart application which EXIM uses to perform queries and report on FPPS information. FPPS is an online personnel and payroll system providing support to Federal agency customers through interagency agreement with the IBC. FPPS is customized to meet customer needs for creating and generating the full life cycle of personnel transactions. FPPS allows for immediate updates and edits of personnel and payroll data. FPPS also handles regulatory requirements such as specialized pay, garnishments, and special appointment programs. FPPS also operates in batch mode for performing close of business, payroll calculation, and other processes. FPPS customers can use a web-enabled interface, WebFPPS, to access FPPS through a web browser to perform personnel and payroll tasks. FPPS is a major application that consists of several minor applications to include time and attendance applications, a system for creating retirement cards and updating retirement records, a system for converting client data for integration into FPPS. The purpose of this system is to ensure proper payment of salary and benefits to EXIM personnel, and to track time worked, leave, or other absences for reporting and compliance purposes. Use of this system will streamline EXIM Bank's personnel, payroll and other human resources functions into a unified, secure system, thereby improving employee input into these systems while enhancing data integrity and security and improving operational efficiency.
