What changed
GSA is modifying 16 systems of records under the Privacy Act of 1974 to add a routine use permitting disclosure of records to the U.S. Department of the Treasury for reviewing payment and award eligibility through the Do Not Pay Working System. The routine use specifically covers identifying, preventing, or recouping improper payments to applicants or recipients of federal funds, including state-administered federally funded programs. The new routine use is responsive to Executive Order 14249 (March 25, 2025) and OMB M-25-32 (August 20, 2025).
Federal agencies and program offices that administer payments or awards through GSA systems should review their own system of records notices to confirm whether the new Treasury disclosure routine use applies to them. While this modification does not directly impose new compliance obligations on the public, entities that are applicants for or recipients of federal funds disbursed by GSA or in GSA-connected programs may have their records subject to Treasury review under the Do Not Pay initiative.
