Introduction
In accordance with Executive Order
13607 of April 27, 2012, the
Department’s Federal Student Aid office
has created a complaint system to
strengthen enforcement and compliance
mechanisms. The SPD–CTS will register
and track complaints and responses for
students receiving Federal military,
veteran’s educational, or Federal title
IV, Higher Education Act of 1965, as
amended (HEA) program benefits.
Information may be shared with other
Federal agencies, such as the
Department of Veterans Affairs, the
Department of Defense, the Department

of Justice, and the Consumer Financial
Protection Board (CFPB), for the
purposes indicated in the routine uses
published below and provided that such
disclosure is permissible under the
Family Educational Rights and Privacy
Act (FERPA). Complaints are received
through various resources (including,
but not limited to, the public, school
officials, external oversight partners,
students, referrals from Federal, State,
or local agencies, and other FSA
offices), regarding issues such as
administrative capability, school
closure, disbursements, foreign schools,
misrepresentation, and loan issues or
student eligibility issues. Complaints
are typically received via telephone or
written correspondence by either FSA
or the Office of Inspector General;
however, complaints are registered
without regard to the manner in which
they are submitted. The preferred
method for the receipt of title IV
complaints and allegations is via email
using the general SPD mailbox at
[email protected].
Upon receipt, the complaint or
allegation is sent to the appropriate SPD
team member for review, follow-up, and
resolution. The complaints and
allegations are reviewed to establish
facts and circumstances regarding the
alleged impropriety relating to the
administration of the title IV, HEA
programs. If the complaint or allegation
is found to have merit, SPD takes the
appropriate compliance action.
The purposes of the SPD–CTS are to
capture complaint and allegation
information from any source, to track
complaints and allegations accurately
by maintaining an audit trail of actions
taken by the SPD, to provide
geographically dispersed team members
with meaningful and up-to-date
information at decision points for SPD
activities, to routinely resolve
complaints within a timely manner, to
report annually to Congress, to provide
oversight and to ensure program
integrity, thus safeguarding taxpayers’
interests, to identify title IV, HEA
program issues that may lead to law
enforcement investigations, litigation, or
other proceedings for use in such
proceedings, to refer instances of
possible fraud and abuse in Federal,
State, or local programs to appropriate
persons, entities, or authorities, where
they may be covered by other Privacy
Act system of records notices, and to
create a centralized complaint system
for students receiving educational
benefits to register complaints that can
be tracked and responded to by
appropriate Federal, State, or local
persons, entities, or authorities, where

PO 00000

Frm 00010

Fmt 4703

12299

they also may be covered by other
Privacy Act system of records notices.
The SPD–CTS includes records on
individuals who have received title IV,
HEA program assistance and are
unsatisfied with their institutions of
higher education. These records not
only contain complaints and allegations
against institutions of higher education,
but they also contain, individually
identifying information about title IV,
HEA recipients, including, but not
limited to their: names, street addresses,
email addresses, and phone numbers.
The information in the SPD–CTS may
be shared with other law enforcement
agencies for the purposes indicated in
the routine uses published below and
provided that such disclosure is
consistent with FERPA.
Anyone in the SPD can add cases;
those records will be held in accordance
with federal record retention policies. In
order to view the contents of the SPD–
CTS on the Web site, a password is
required to access SPD–CTS on the Web
site.
The Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C.
552a(e)(4) and (11)) requires the
Department to publish this notice of a
new system of records in the Federal
Register. The Department’s regulations
implementing the Privacy Act are
contained in 34 CFR part 5b.
The Privacy Act applies to any record
about an individual that contains
individually identifying information
and that is retrieved by a unique
identifier associated with each
individual, such as a name or Social
Security number (SSN). The information
about each individual is called a
‘‘record,’’ and the system, whether
manual or computer-based, is called a
‘‘system of records.’’
The Privacy Act requires each agency
to publish a system of records notice in
the Federal Register and to prepare
reports to the Administrator of the
Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, OMB whenever the agency
publishes a new system of records or
significantly alters an established
system of records. Each agency is also
required to send copies of the report to
the Chair of the Senate Committee on
Homeland Security and Governmental
Affairs and the Chair of the House of
Representatives Committee on Oversight
and Government Reform. These reports
are included to permit an evaluation of
the probable effect of the proposal on
the privacy rights of individuals.
Accessible Format: Individuals with
disabilities can obtain this document in
an accessible format (e.g., braille, large
print, audiotape, or compact disc) on
request to the contact person listed
under this section.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING,
RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND
DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:

The Department electronically stores
the complaints and allegations on an
Intranet Web site. The Web site is
located at the Virtual Data Center in
Plano, Texas.
RETRIEVABILITY:

Records in the SPD–CTS system are
retrieved by searching any of the
following data elements: complainant’s
name, institution’s name, reviewer’s
name or Office of Postsecondary
Education identification (OPEID)
number.
SAFEGUARDS:

sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

In addition to undergoing security
clearances, contract and Department
employees are required to complete
security awareness training on an
annual basis. Annual security awareness
training is required to ensure that
contract and Department users are
appropriately trained in safeguarding
Privacy Act data in accordance with
OMB Circular No. A–130, Appendix III.
The computer system employed by
the Department offers a high degree of
resistance to tampering and
circumvention. This security system
limits data access to Department and
contract staff on a ‘‘need-to-know’’ basis
and controls individual users’ ability to
access and alter records within the
system. All users of this system of
records are given a password. The
Department’s FSA Information Security
and Privacy Policy requires the
enforcement of a complex password
policy. This password is only given to
SPD staff who are assigned to
investigate and resolve the complaint(s).
RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:

The records created by this system are
currently unscheduled. ED will apply to
the National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA) for disposition
authority that covers these records.
Until disposition authority is received
