INITIAL PRIVACY ASSESSMENT (IPA)

The IPA is a compliance form developed by the Privacy Branch to identify the use of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) across the Department. The IPA is the first step in the PII verification process, which focuses on the following areas of inquiry:

• Purpose for the information,

• Type of information,

• Sensitivity of the information,

• Use of the information,

• And the risk to the information.

Please use the attached form to determine whether a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) is required under the E-Government Act of 2002 or a System of Record Notice (SORN) is required under the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended.

Please complete this form and send it to your program Privacy Liaison Officer (PLO). If you do not have a program Privacy Liaison Officer, please send the IPA to the HUD Privacy Branch:

Upon receipt from your program PLO, the HUD Privacy Branch will review this form. If a PIA or SORN is required, the HUD Privacy Branch will send you a copy of the PIA and SORN templates to complete and return.

2 Informational and collaboration-based portals in operation at HUD and its programs that collect, use, maintain, and share limited personally identifiable information (PII) about individuals who are “members” of the portal or “potential members” who seek to gain access to the portal.

3 HUD defines personal information as “Personally Identifiable Information” or PII, which is any information that permits the identity of an individual to be directly or indirectly inferred, including any information that is linked or linkable to that individual, regardless of whether the individual is a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, visitor to the U.S., or employee or contractor to the Department. “Sensitive PII” is PII, which if lost, compromised, or disclosed without authorization, could result in substantial harm, embarrassment, inconvenience, or unfairness to an individual. For the purposes of this IPA, SPII and PII are treated the same.

4 Header: Information that is placed before the actual data. The header normally contains a small number of bytes of control information, which is used to communicate important facts about the data that the message contains and how it is to be interpreted and used. It serves as the communication and control link between protocol elements on different devices.

Payload data: The actual data to be transmitted, often called the payload of the message (metaphorically borrowing a term from the space industry!) Most messages contain some data of one form or another, but some actually contain none: they are used only for control and communication purposes. For example, these may be used to set up or terminate a logical connection before data is sent.

5 FIPS 199 is the Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 199, Standards for Security Categorization of Federal Information and Information Systems and is used to establish security categories of information systems.
