Issued by Treasury Department
In support of Executive Order 14395, Establishing the Task Force To Eliminate Fraud, and Executive Order 14249, Protecting America's Bank Account Against Fraud, Waste, and Abuse, the Department of the Treasury ("Treasury" or "the Department") proposes to establish a new system of records titled "Department of the Treasury, Treasury .032--Federal Program Waste, Fraud, and Abuse Tip Intake and Referral Records." This system will enable Treasury to receive, maintain, review, triage, and refer tips, complaints, allegations, leads, supporting information, and related correspondence submitted by members of the public concerning suspected waste, fraud, abuse, improper payments, misuse of Federal funds, or other misconduct affecting Federal programs. Treasury will use the records to determine the appropriate Federal agency, inspector general, law enforcement agency, or other authorized entity to which a tip should be referred for review, investigation, audit, oversight, enforcement, recovery, program-integrity, or other lawful action.
