No: Information is NOT collected, maintained, or used that is identifiable to the individual in
this system. Only sections 1 and 5 of this form are required to be completed.
B. What is the purpose of the system?
Describe the purpose of the system and how it relates to the program office’s and Department’s
mission. Include the context and background necessary to understand the purpose, the name of
the program office and the technology, project or collection being assessed.
The USFWS has coordinated a long-term fall survey of Eastern Population of greater sandhill
cranes (hereafter, EP cranes) in the Mississippi and Atlantic Flyways, since 1979 for
management purposes. This survey contributes to the monitoring of the status and regulates the
harvest strategy of EP cranes. The survey is conducted annually at the end of October by
volunteers and federal and state agency personnel. During the survey, the number of cranes at
historic migratory staging areas is recorded, providing a fall index of the population. Personnel
data of contributors conducting the survey is, in part, used solely for the coordination of the
following year survey and to answer any questions pertaining to individual observations.

C. What is the legal authority?
A Federal law, Executive Order of the President (EO), or DOI requirement must authorize the
collection and maintenance of a system of records. For Privacy Act systems, the response should
reflect the information provided in the authority section of the Privacy Act system of records
notice.

Appendix A – DI-4001 PIA Form
Privacy Act Statement: Describe each applicable format.
Privacy Act Statement:
Authority: The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16. U.S.C 703-712), the Fish and Wildlife
Improvement Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 7421) and the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956 (16 U.S.C.
742 a-j).
Purpose: The purpose for collecting the contact information is to coordinate EP Crane
Survey volunteers for participation in current and possibly future surveys. This monitoring is
conducted annually and helps in the management of the harvest strategy for EP Cranes.
Routine Uses: The contact information of the volunteer may be used to inquire about survey
observations and/or for participation in future surveys. Contact information will be shared
with the Survey Coordinators within the Region 3, Migratory Bird Management Program.

Section 3. Attributes of System Data
A. How will data collected from sources other than DOI records be verified for accuracy?
Data accuracy and reliability are important requirements in implementing the Privacy Act which
requires that agencies only maintain data that is accurate, relevant, timely, and complete about
individuals. The information has to have some form of verification for accuracy due to the
Privacy Act provisions that require that only relevant and accurate records should be collected
and maintained about individuals.
Personal contact information provided by volunteers and state/federal agencies will be verified
by the individual entering information. Data is not collected from any other source.
B. How will data be checked for completeness?
Describe the procedures to ensure data is checked for completeness. To the extent practical, PII
should be checked for completeness to ensure accuracy within the context of the use of the data.
Not applicable, personal contact information provided by volunteers and state/federal agencies
will be verified by the individual entering information.
C. What procedures are taken to ensure the data is current? Identify the process or name the
document (e.g., data models).
Describe the steps or procedures taken to ensure the data is current and not out-of-date. Where
are they documented? For example, are they outlined in standard operating procedures or data
models? Data that is not current also affects the relevancy and accuracy of the data. This is
particularly true with data warehousing. A data warehouse is a repository of an organization's
electronically stored data and is designed to facilitate reporting and analysis. A data warehouse
may contain data that is not current which would cause a domino effect throughout the data
stores.
Not applicable, personal contact information provided by volunteers and state/federal agencies
will be verified by the individual entering information.
D. What are the retention periods for data in the system? Identify the associated records
retention schedule for the records in this system.
Identify all applicable records retention schedules or explain at what development stage the
proposed records retention schedule is in. Information system owners must consult with
Bureau/Office Records Officers early in the development process to ensure that appropriate
retention and destruction schedules are identified, or to develop a records retention schedule for
the records contained in the information system. Be sure to include applicable records retention
schedules for different types of information or subsets of information and describe if subsets of
information are deleted and how they are deleted.

8

Appendix A – DI-4001 PIA Form
Retention periods will be on a yearly basis. Personnel will be contacted, via contact information
provided by individuals, and asked to participate with the survey for the following year. Some
individuals may opt out of participating in the survey, which will determine if information is
retained.
PROJ – 240 Statistical Information Files
PROJ – 600 Program Files
E. What are the procedures for disposition of the data at the end of the retention period?
Where are the procedures documented?
Describe policies and procedures for how PII that is no longer relevant and necessary is purged.
This may be obtained from records retention schedules, the Departmental Manual, bureau/office
records management policies, or standard operating procedures.
If the individual opts out of participating with the following year’s survey, then the individual
and their contact information will be removed from the database. There are no existing
procedures for deleting contact information from database. However, it will be imposed by the
USFWS survey coordinators to have IRTM managers confirm any requests to eliminate contact
information from the database.
F. Briefly describe privacy risks and how information handling practices at each stage of the
“information lifecycle” (i.e., collection, use, retention, processing, disclosure and
destruction) affect individual privacy.
Describe and analyze the major potential privacy risks identified and discuss the overall impact
on the privacy of employees or individuals. Include a description of how the program office has
taken steps to protect individual privacy and mitigate the privacy risks. Provide an example of
how information is handled at each stage of the information life cycle. Also discuss privacy risks
associated with the sharing of information outside of the Department and how those risks were
mitigated. Discuss whether access controls have been implemented and whether audit logs are
regularly reviewed to ensure appropriate sharing outside of the Department.
Privacy risks with collecting volunteer and federal/state agencies personal contact information
will be negligible, as it is non-sensitive personal information. And release of observer
information from an EP Crane population survey will not result in harm to any party.
Information is not shared outside of the Service. Access and identification and authentication
controls are in place to prevent unauthorized access.

Section 4. PIA Risk Review
A. Is the use of the data both relevant and necessary to the purpose for which the system is
being designed?
Describe how the use of the system or information collection relates to the purpose of the
underlying mission of the organization. Is the information directly relevant and necessary to
accomplish the specific purposes of the system? For Privacy Act systems, the Privacy Act at 5
U.S.C. 552a(e)(1) requires that each agency shall maintain in its records only such information

9

Appendix A – DI-4001 PIA Form
about an individual that is relevant and necessary to accomplish an agency purpose required by
statute or by executive order of the President.
Yes: Explanation The personal contact information provided by volunteers and state/federal
agency personnel who participate in the fall survey will allow USFWS, Migratory Bird
Management coordinators to coordinate for the following year’s survey and allow the
opportunity to ask questions pertaining to an observation from a survey.
No
B. Does this system or electronic collection derive new data or create previously unavailable
data about an individual through data aggregation?
Does the technology create new data or conduct electronic searches, queries, or analysis in an
electronic database to discover or locate a predictive pattern or anomaly? Is data aggregated in
a way that will permit system users to easily draw new conclusions or inferences about an
individual? Electronic systems can sift through large amounts of information in response to user
inquiry or programmed functions, or perform complex analytical tasks resulting in other types of
data, matching, relational or pattern analysis, or reporting. Discuss the results generated by
these uses and include an explanation on how the results are generated, whether by the
information system or manually by authorized personnel. Explain the purpose and what will be
done with the newly derived data. Derived data is obtained from a source for one purpose and
then used to deduce/infer a separate and distinct bit of information to form additional
information that is usually different from the original source information. Aggregation of data is
the taking of various data elements and turning it into a composite of all the data to form another
type of data, e.g., tables or data arrays.
Yes: Explain what risks are introduced by this data aggregation and how these risks will be
mitigated.
No
C. Will the new data be placed in the individual’s record?
Will the results or new data be placed in individuals’ records? Explain in detail the purpose of
creating the new data, how it will be used, by whom it will be used, with whom it will be shared,
and any resulting effect on individuals.
Yes: Explanation
No: Personal information provided by volunteers and state/federal agency personnel that
participate with the survey will be contacted for the coordination for the following year’s survey
and if, the coordinator needs additional information about the previous observation.
D. Can the system make determinations about individuals that would not be possible without
the new data?

10

Appendix A – DI-4001 PIA Form
Will the new data be used to make determinations about individuals or will it have any other
effect on the subject individuals? Explain in detail the purpose of creating the new data, how it
will be used, by whom it will be used, with whom it will be shared, and any resulting effect on
individuals.
Yes: Explanation
No
E. How will the new data be verified for relevance and accuracy?
Explain how accuracy of the new data is ensured. Describe the process used for checking
accuracy. Also explain why the system does not check for accuracy. Describe any technical
solutions, policies, or procedures focused on improving data accuracy and integrity of the
project.
Not applicable, personal contact information provided by volunteers and state/federal agencies
will be verified by the individual entering information. There is no new data.
F. Are the data or the processes being consolidated?
If the data is being consolidated, that is, combined or united into one system, application, or
process, then the existing controls should remain to protect the data. If needed, strengthen the
control(s) to ensure that the data is not inappropriately accessed or used by unauthorized
individuals. Minimum sets of controls are outlined in OMB Circular A-130, Appendix III. The
DOI Security Control Standards (based on NIST SP 800-53 and FedRAMP) describe the
practice of identification and authentication that is a technical measure that prevents
unauthorized people or processes from accessing data. The IT Security A&A process requires a
system security plan outlining the implementation of the technical controls associated with
identification and authentication.
Yes, data is being consolidated. Describe the controls that are in place to protect the data
from unauthorized access or use.
Yes, processes are being consolidated. Describe the controls that are in place to protect the
data from unauthorized access or use.
No, data or processes are not being consolidated.
G. Who will have access to data in the system or electronic collection? Indicate all that apply.
Describe the process by which an individual receives access to the information within the
system. Explain what roles these individuals have and their level of access. If remote access to
the system is allowed or external storage or communication devices interact with the system,
describe any measures in place to secure the transmission and storage of data (e.g., encryption
and/or two-factor authentication). Do users have “read-only” access or are they authorized to
make changes in the system? Also consider “other” users who may not be as obvious, such as

11

Appendix A – DI-4001 PIA Form
the GAO or the Inspector General, database administrators, website administrators or system
administrators. Also include those listed in the Privacy Act system of records notice under the
“Routine Uses” section when a Privacy Act system of records notice is required.
Users
Contractors
Developers
System Administrator
Other: Describe

USFWS, website managers

H. How is user access to data determined? Will users have access to all data or will access be
restricted?
Users are normally only given access to certain data on a “need-to-know” basis for information
that is needed to perform an official function. Care should be given to avoid “open systems”
where all information can be viewed by all users. System administrators may be afforded access
to all of the data depending upon the system or application. However, access should be
restricted when users may not need to have access to all the data. For more guidance on this,
refer to the Federal Information Processing Standards [FIPS] Publications in the authorities
section. The DOI Security Control Standards (based on NIST SP 800-53 and FedRAMP)
describe the practice of applying logical access controls, which are system-based means by
which the ability is explicitly enabled or restricted. It is the responsibility of information system
owners to ensure no unauthorized access is occurring.
Access to data will be restricted for the use by the USFWS, Migratory Bird Management survey
coordinator and access to data within the database will be restricted by the USFWS, website
managers.
I. Are contractors involved with the design and/or development of the system, or will they be
involved with the maintenance of the system?
Yes. Were Privacy Act contract clauses included in their contracts and other regulatory
measures addressed?
No
J. Is the system using technologies in ways that the DOI has not previously employed (e.g.,
monitoring software, SmartCards or Caller ID)?
Are there new technologies used to monitor activities of the individual in any way? Access logs
may already be used to track the actions of users of a system. Describe any new software being
used, such as keystroke monitoring.
Yes. Explanation
No

12

Appendix A – DI-4001 PIA Form
K. Will this system provide the capability to identify, locate and monitor individuals?
Most systems now provide the capability to identify and monitor individual’s actions in a system
(e.g., audit trail systems/ applications). For example, audit logs may record username, time and
date of logon, files accessed, or other user actions. Check system security procedures for
information to respond to this question.
Yes. Explanation For auditing purposes, USFWS, Website managers will incorporate the
capability to identify individuals who access the website.
No
L. What kinds of information are collected as a function of the monitoring of individuals?
The DOI Security Control Standards (based on NIST SP 800-53 and FedRAMP) detail how audit
logs should be used for DOI systems. Provide what audit activities are maintained to record
system and user activity including invalid logon attempts and access to data. The IT Security
A&A process requires a system security plan outlining the implementation of the technical
controls associated with identification and authentication of users to the system. Examples of
information collected may include username, logon date, number of failed logon attempts, files
accessed, and other user actions on the system.
Audit logs collect the username, result of access (granted/denied) and time and date of access.
M. What controls will be used to prevent unauthorized monitoring?
Certain laws and regulations require monitoring for authorized reasons by authorized
employees. Describe the controls in place to ensure that only authorized personnel can monitor
use of the system. For example, business rules, internal instructions, posting Privacy Act
Warning Notices address access controls, in addition to audit logs and least privileges. It is the
responsibility of information system owners and system managers to ensure no unauthorized
monitoring is occurring.
Individuals who participate with the survey and enter data into the website, will be required to
create and username and password. The concept of least privilege is employed to limit access to
authorized administrators. Access requires elevated privilege.
N. How will the PII be secured?
Discuss how each privacy risk identified was mitigated. Specific risks may be inherent in the
sources or methods of collection, or the quality or quantity of information included. Describe
auditing features, access controls, and other possible technical and policy safeguards such as
information sharing protocols, or special access restrictions. Do the audit features include the
ability to identify specific records each user can access? How is the system audited? For
example, does the system perform self audits, or is the system subject to third party audits or
reviews by the Office of Inspector General or Government Accountability Office (GAO). Does
the IT system have automated tools to indicate when information is inappropriately accessed,
retrieved or misused? Describe what privacy and security training is provided to system users.
Examples of controls include rules of behavior, encryption, secured facilities, firewalls, etc.

O. Who will be responsible for protecting the privacy rights of the public and employees? This
includes officials responsible for addressing Privacy Act complaints and requests for
redress or amendment of records.
Although all employees who have access to information in a Privacy Act system have
responsibility for protecting and safeguarding that information, often the information system
owner and Privacy Act system manager share the responsibility for protecting the privacy rights
of employees and the public. For Privacy Act responsibilities refer to 383 Department Manual

14

Appendix A – DI-4001 PIA Form
Chapters 1-13 and DOI Privacy Act regulations at 43 CFR Part 2. Also, describe how Privacy
Act complaints and requests for redress or amendment of records are addressed.
The FWS Associate Privacy Officer is responsible for protecting the privacy rights of the
employees, contractors and the public whose information may be collected, stored or processed
within FWS. The Privacy Officer is also responsible for addressing Privacy Act complaints or
requests for redress.
P. Who is responsible for assuring proper use of the data and for reporting the loss,
compromise, unauthorized disclosure, or unauthorized access of privacy protected
information?
This may be the information system owner and Privacy Act system manager, or may be another
individual with designated responsibility, or otherwise stipulated by contract or in language
contained in an agreement (e.g., Head of the Bureau or Program Manager). There may be
multiple responsible officials. Consider a system that contains several databases from different
program offices; there may be one information system owner and several Privacy Act system
managers. Also, describe who is responsible for reporting the loss, compromise, unauthorized
disclosure, or unauthorized access of privacy protected information.
The USFWS, website managers and the USFWS, Migratory Bird Management survey
coordinators will be responsible for the protection and unauthorized access of personal contact
information provided by survey contributors. In addition, the information system owner and the
privacy officer are responsible for assuring proper use of employee data. Loss, compromise,
unauthorized disclosure or unauthorized access of PII is considered a “security incident” that
must be reported to DOI-CIRC within one hour of discovery.

Section 5. Review and Approval
PIAs for Bureau or Office level systems must be signed by the designated Information System Owner,
Information System Security Officer, and Bureau Privacy Officer, and approved by the Bureau Assistant
Director for Information Resources as the Reviewing Official. Department-wide PIAs must be signed by
the designated Information System Owner, Information System Security Officer, and Departmental
Privacy Officer, and approved by the DOI Chief Information Officer/Senior Agency Official for Privacy
