EXECUTIVE SUMMARY REPORT
INTRODUCTION TO THE PIA
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to describe the Privacy Impact
Assessment (PIA) conducted for the Employment and Training Administration (ETA)
General Support System (GSS). The Department of Labor (DOL) is responsible for
ensuring proper protections of the information contained within its information
systems, including personally identifiable information (PII).
One objective of the PIA is to assist ETA in identifying personal
information and addressing information privacy when planning, developing,
implementing, and operating individual agency information management systems
and integrated DOL information systems.
ETA is responsible for the operations and maintenance of the ETA GSS.
The ETA GSS allows users to access ETA major applications and other
services.
PIA APPROACH

Officers, ETA Privacy Officer and was overseen by the Information Technology
Security Manager. Participants included System Administrators, Information
Technology Managers and the Information Systems Security Officer. The System
Security Plan and the Federal Register Part II volume 67 dated April 8, 2003
was also used to complete this assessment.
PIA RESULTS
Based on the results of this assessment, strong administrative,
technical, and management security controls are implemented for the ETA GSS to
ensure the protection of PII.
