Justification for a Nonmaterial/Nonsubstantive Change

Oge Form 278e Executive Branch Personnel

Public Financial Disclosure Report

November 2019

On December 3, 2018, the Office of Management and Budget last reviewed and approved a three-year extension under the Paperwork Reduction Act of the OGE Form 278e Executive Branch Personnel Public Financial Disclosure Report. On September 9, 2019, the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) published in the Federal Register changes to its OGE/GOVT-1 Governmentwide system of records under the Privacy Act, covering Executive Branch Personnel Public Financial Disclosure Reports and Other Name-Retrieved Ethics Program Records, which are effective on November 8, 2019. See 84 Fed. Reg. 47,303 (Sept. 9, 2019). The information collected on the OGE Form 278e is maintained in the OGE/GOVT-1 Governmentwide system of records, and the form contains a Privacy Act statement referencing OGE/GOVT-1 as required by section (e)(3) of the Privacy Act. See 5 U.S.C. § 552a(e)(3). Therefore, OGE requests to update the Privacy Act statement contained on the OGE Form 278e in accordance with the recent changes to the system of records. This change has no material effect on the burden to filers; rather, the changes simply update the form to provide the correct Privacy Act information.
