ERISA Filing Acceptance System (EFAST)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY REPORT

This assessment shows that the EBSA is adhering to the Privacy Act of 1974 for PII contained in EFAST. All eight principles presented in the Privacy Impact Methodology and Assessment are being followed or are in process of being implemented.

PIA Results

The PIA questionnaire in Appendix A shows that EFAST contains a limited amount of PII. This PII is stored for the exclusive purpose of performing the duties of the EBSA and is collected directly from the individual whenever possible. All PII is well protected by numerous security controls. The risk of misuse or loss of this PII is minimal. In fact, special steps are taken to delete PII from EFAST images prior to their distribution by the contactor to the Agency.

Summary

Of the areas found to be in need of improvement, actions are already being taken to remedy or mitigate the non-compliance. These items are identified in the Plan of Actions and Milestones (POA&M) and will be tracked until completion.
