EXECUTIVE SUMMARY REPORT
INTRODUCTION TO THE PIA
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to evaluate and certify that the U.S.
Department of Labor, Wage & Hour Division's (WHD) Civil Money Penalty 2001
(CMP2001) application meets or complies with privacy policies, when operating
to service the user base.
Scope
This Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) covers the Employment Standards
Administration's Civil Money Penalty 2001 (CMP2001) application, which is
managed by the Wage Hour Division (WHD). The WHD Administrator is the
application owner.
CMP2001 is an accounting application that enables the WHD to keep an
accurate record of funds processing in/out of certain accounts. The CMP2001
application handles the collection of fines assessed against employers who
violate one of the Acts enforced by the WHD. The fines, themselves, are
assessed in the District Office, but, at the point they become "final," they
are declared debts due to the Government, and are transferred to the CMP2001
application. The primary functions of the application are to handle the
depositing of funds collected to the appropriate accounts, and to pursue
collection actions on those debts that become delinquent.
PIA Results
Based on the Privacy Impact Assessment Questionnaire, the WHD states
that CMP2001, the application, is fully compliant with the Privacy Act of 1974.
CMP2001 meets all requirements of the Privacy Act listed under 5 U.S.C.
552a.(4) as amended, listed under "Records Maintained On Individuals."
Summary
Information is collected by the WHD to enforce Federal laws and to
benefit individuals. The WHD protects an individual's right to privacy through
their application. The CMP2001 supports the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a, and OMB
Circular No. A-130, "Management of Federal Information Resources," 61 Fed. Reg.
6428 (Feb. 20, 1996).
The WHD has completed both a Risk Assessment and Security Plan for
CMP2001. The WHD has adequate controls in-place to protect individuals and the
DOL. There are no adverse impacts on the Civil Money Penalty 2001 application
stemming from the completed PIA.
