SUMMARY: In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, (Privacy Act), and Office of Management Budget (OMB) Circular No. A-108, “Federal Agency Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, and Publication under the Privacy Act,” the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA or Agency) proposes to rescind an existing System of Records Notice (SORN). The SORN being rescinded is based on a system of records that is no longer maintained by the Agency and has been decommissioned. FHFA-25, Applicant Tracking System was used by FHFA to post and publicize mission critical occupation job openings using FHFA’s authority to hire examiners, accountants, economists, and specialists in financial markets and in technology; receive, store, and process resumes, applications, curriculum vitaes, and similar documents received in response to mission critical occupation job openings and recruiting and outreach events; and track applicants for such positions.
DATES: FHFA decommissioned the system, effective March 30, 2023. This proposed action will be effective without further notice on June 16, 2025, unless otherwise revised pursuant to comments received. Comments must be received on or before July 16, 2025. FHFA will publish a new notice if the effective date is delayed for the Agency to review the comments or if changes are made based on comments received.
