B. SYSTEM APPLICATION/GENERAL INFORMATION

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Office of Disaster Recovery and Resilience (ODR&R)
oversees the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant (SVOG), which coordinates grants under the Economic
Aid to Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Nonprofits, and Venues Act, as amended by the American Rescue
Plan Act. The program includes over $16 billion in grants to shuttered venues, to be administered by
SBA’s Office of Disaster Assistance. The SVOG information system, does not take any new

  6) Privacy Impact Analysis: What privacy risks were identified and describe how they were
     mitigated for security and access controls.
     Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Memorandum 17-12 (M-17-12) identifies risks of
     disclosure of individuals’ privacy data in five major areas. The table below identifies those risk
     areas and the mitigating strategies for each.

         Potential Risk                        Mitigating Strategies
         Sensitivity of Data Elements          The sensitivity of data elements is mitigated using
                                               access control, auditing, monitoring, authentication,
                                               encryption, and boundary protection.
         Context of the Data                   Context of data elements is mitigated using access
                                               control, auditing, monitoring, authentication,
                                               encryption, and boundary protection.
         Revelation of Private Information     Revelation would have a significant negative impact by
                                               exposure to proprietary information. Mitigated through
                                               the use of access control, auditing, monitoring,
                                               authentication, and boundary protection.
         Impact on Vulnerable Populations      This system does not specifically track or document
                                               vulnerable populations. Grants were awarded solely
                                               based on the application, qualifications, and specific
                                               needs of the applicant. While any data exposure would
                                               impact grantees, we do not have statistics on vulnerable
                                               populations because we did not grant based on those

                                                                                             PAGE 4 OF 12

PRIVACY IMPACT ASSESSMENT                           SHUTTERED VENUE OPERATORS GRANT (SVOG)

                                                   criteria. We did not give preference to any vulnerable
                                                   organizations or populations.
            Relevance of the Data Over Time        Data are kept current and remain relevant over time.
                                                   Mitigation includes maintaining role-based access
                                                   controls, data integrity, data validation, and auditing to
                                                   ensure data is current and relevant. The system protects
                                                   grantee-provided data. We have a document auditing
                                                   history. User-level monitoring and audits are also
                                                   conducted. Internal controls are used to revalidate data.
                                                   OIG and OGC also conduct reviews. Even after grants
                                                   are closed, grantees can still access their files in a view-
                                                   only mode. We strive to maintain a "rule of two" for
                                                   reviews and approvals to ensure data integrity. We
                                                   constantly monitor data, assess its validity, and track
                                                   changes through audit histories. Data is protected
                                                   throughout the process. Changes are tracked, and
                                                   original data is preserved. Access is role-based to
                                                   prevent any single individual from controlling an entire
                                                   file's progress.


C.     SYSTEM DATA

     1) What categories of individuals are covered in the system?
        Small businesses, nonprofits, and venues impacted by COVID-19 that applied for the SVOG
        program, including their owners, executives, and designated points of contact.

     2) What are the sources of the information in the system? (Including an informational data flow
        would be a great opportunity here.)
        The system contains applicant-supplied data as well as third-party information lookups based on
        that data obtained for validation and verification reasons. The individual, as the applicant/grantee,
        is required to create a SAM.gov account as the source of the information. Systems provide
        validation information and records of transactions that are directly linked to the grantee records.
        SBA system: E-Tran, Joint Administrative Accounting Management System (JAAMS), Payroll
        Protection Program (PPP), Capital Access Financial System (CAFS), Federal Awardee
        Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), LexisNexis searches, Restaurant
        Revitalization Fund Grant (RRF), Treasury (DNP/ IRS (4506T)), SEC (for verification if publicly
        traded), and state-specific business registration entities.

             a. Is the source of the information from the individual, or is it taken from another
                source? If not directly from the individual, then what other source? (Please be
                specific to include form numbers where applicable.)
                The primary source of information is the individual applicant, who submits their
                information via the SVOG portal. The system also collects validation data from third-
                party systems, including IRS, Treasury (Do-Not-Pay system), SAM.gov, LexisNexis,
                SBA’s E-Tran, JAAMS, CAFS, and FAPIIS.

             b. What Federal agencies are providing data for use in the system?
                The system receives data from the IRS, Treasury’s Do-Not-Pay (DNP) system, SBA’s E-
                Tran, and JAAMS, as well as other federal databases, including FAPIIS and SEC (for
                verifying publicly traded companies).

                                                                                                    PAGE 5 OF 12

PRIVACY IMPACT ASSESSMENT                      SHUTTERED VENUE OPERATORS GRANT (SVOG)


         c. What Tribal, State, and local agencies are providing data for use in the system?
            Not Applicable


         d. From what other third-party sources will data be collected?
            The SVOG system manually collects and verifies data from third-party sources, including
            SAM.gov, FAPIIS, LexisNexis, Restaurant Revitalization Fund Grant (RRF), Treasury
            (DNP/IRS 4506T), SEC (for publicly traded businesses), and state business registration
            entities.

         e. What information will be collected from the employee and the public?
             The applicant provides personally identifiable information (PII) and business-related
            data necessary for grant eligibility and processing. This includes Social Security Numbers
            (SSN), Automatic Clearing House details, date of birth, name, income, driver’s license or
            state/federal ID information, business addresses, assets, telephone numbers, tax returns,
            Employer Identification Number (EIN), DUNS number, System for Award Management
            (SAM.gov) UEI number, insurance policy numbers, and grant numbers.

  3) Accuracy, Timeliness, and Reliability

         a. How is data collected from sources other than SBA records verified for accuracy?
             Data obtained from applicants is checked against other sources for completeness
             and fraud prevention. Staff manually reviews third-party information, validating
             key data and personal information to ensure compliance and verify the identity of
             the person and business. All grantees were required to use a SAM.gov account to
             validate their identity. Applicants had to provide specific information, including a
             copy of their driver's license or identification card. This information is reviewed
             and validated by multiple people.
                       •   Data verification includes cross-referencing applicant-provided
                           information with third-party databases such as IRS (4506T), SAM.gov,
                           DNP, and LexisNexis for fraud prevention. The SVOG Grant Management
                           Specialist (GMS) and Supervisors validate and review data integrity and
                           completeness before approval.

         b. How is data checked for completeness?
            Application forms on the SVOG portal have required fields as applicable as well as field-
            level validation. Internal process flows require validation checks with third-party systems
            before approval and screenshots of the resulting information to be captured within the
            Salesforce system, which is reviewed by GMS and the Supervisor.
            Applications are required to complete multiple forms within the SVOG portal, requiring
            mandatory fields and submission of required documents. The SVOG system utilized data
            validation checks to ensure that data was present and was of acceptable format. The final
            data verification is the staff manually reviewing the grantee-provided information and the
            required documents for completeness and, if there was a lack of data, would request the
            information from the grantee by use of a system-managed and monitored "action item."
            These required fields and documents were reviewed by the Grant Management
            Specialists (GMS) and Supervisors.
            As the grant was moved through the processing and decision-making processes, if
            additional requirements were identified, the processor would request additional.

                                                                                           PAGE 6 OF 12

PRIVACY IMPACT ASSESSMENT                         SHUTTERED VENUE OPERATORS GRANT (SVOG)

              Information as needed. All requests are captured within the system, either as file uploads,
              completed fields, emails from the grantee, or staff-generated documents that have been
              uploaded to the record.

          c. Is the data current? (Yes/No)
             The data is current at the time of its being originally entered into the system, and
             additional information is requested as required.


          d. Are the data elements described in detail and documented? (Yes/No)

              Yes, this is described in the data dictionary, along with the SVOG Architectural Diagrams
              and SVOG High-Level Solution Design, as documented in the SVOG SSP.


  4) Privacy Impact Analysis: Discuss what privacy risks were identified and how they were
     mitigated for the types of information collected.

      Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Memorandum 17-12 (M-17-12) identifies risks of
      disclosure of individuals’ privacy data in five major areas. The table below identifies those risk
      areas and the mitigating strategies for each.

        Potential Risk                          Mitigating Strategies
        Sensitivity of Data Elements            The sensitivity of data elements is mitigated through the
                                                use of access control, auditing, monitoring,
                                                authentication, encryption, and boundary protection.
        Context of the Data                     Context of data elements is mitigated through the use of
                                                access control, auditing, monitoring, authentication,
                                                encryption, and boundary protection.
        Revelation of Private Information       Revelation would have a significant negative impact
                                                and is mitigated through the use of access control,
                                                auditing, monitoring, authentication, and boundary
                                                protection.
        Impact on Vulnerable Populations        Disclosure of data would adversely affect individuals,
                                                but this would not be focused on any vulnerable
                                                population.
        Relevance of the Data Over Time         Data are kept current and remain relevant over time.
                                                Mitigation includes access control, auditing,
                                                monitoring, authentication, encryption, and boundary
                                                protection.


D. DATA ATTRIBUTES

  1) Is the use of the data both relevant and necessary to the purpose for which the system is
     being designed?

  2) Will the system derive new data or create previously unavailable data about an individual
     through aggregation from the information collected, and how will this be maintained and
     filed?
     No


  3) Will the new data be placed in the individual’s record?
     N/A


  4) Can the system make determinations about employees or members of the public that would
     not be possible without the new data?
     No

  5) How is the new data verified for relevance, timeliness, and accuracy?
     N/A


  6) If the data is being consolidated, what controls are in place to protect the data from
     unauthorized access or use?
     Not Applicable because the system collects information but does not consolidate the information.

  7) If processes are being consolidated, are the proper controls remaining in place to protect
     the data and prevent unauthorized access? If the process is not consolidated, please state
     “N/A.”
     N/A


  8) How will the data be retrieved? Does a personal identifier retrieve the data? If yes, explain
     and list the identifiers that will be used to retrieve information on the individual.
     Records are retrieved by the name of the individual, business name, application number, grant
     number, and Data Universal Numbering System. The data is mainly retrieved via a business name
     or grant application number. Also, use a business name in combination with a unique identifier
     such as EIN, DUNS number, and SAM.gov UEI number.

  9) What kinds of reports can be produced on individuals? What will be the use of these
     reports? Who will have access to them?
     Ad hoc Reports are currently limited to being generated by request as needed. Reports may
     include approved grant details such as Grantee Name, Business Address, Venue Type, Award
     Date, and Total Awarded Grant Amount.

  10) What opportunities do individuals have to decline to provide information (i.e., where
      providing information is voluntary) or to consent to particular uses of the information
      (other than required or authorized uses), and how can individuals grant consent?
      Applicants provide consent by submitting their information in the grant application. Consent is
      implied for required processing, but individuals may request access, correction, or contest records
      through FOIA and Privacy Act procedures.




                                                                                             PAGE 8 OF 12

Privacy Impact Analysis: Describe any types of controls that may be in place to ensure that
information is used as intended.

OMB Memorandum 17-12 (M-17-12) identifies risks of disclosure of individuals’ privacy data in five
major areas. Details regarding the mitigation strategies of each associated risk are answered in Section B,
response 6 of this PIA.

        Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Memorandum 17-12 (M-17-12) identifies risks of
        disclosure of individuals’ privacy data in five major areas. The table below identifies those risk
        areas and the mitigating strategies for each.

           Potential Risk                         Mitigating Strategies
           Sensitivity of Data Elements           The sensitivity of data elements is mitigated using
                                                  access control, auditing, monitoring, authentication,
                                                  encryption, and boundary protection.
           Context of the Data                    Context of data elements is mitigated using access
                                                  control, auditing, monitoring, authentication,
                                                  encryption, and boundary protection.
           Revelation of Private Information      Revelation would have a significant negative impact
                                                  and is mitigated through the use of access control,
                                                  auditing, monitoring, authentication, and boundary
                                                  protection.
           Impact on Vulnerable Populations       Disclosure of data would adversely affect individuals,
                                                  but this would not be focused on any vulnerable
                                                  population.
           Relevance of the Data Over Time        Data are kept current and remain relevant over time.
                                                  Mitigation includes access control, auditing,
                                                  monitoring, authentication, encryption, and boundary
                                                  protection.


    E. MAINTENANCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS

    1) If the system is operated in more than one site, how will consistent use of the system and
       data be maintained in all sites?
       The data is stored within a government-level encrypted Amazon Web Service (AWS) and uses a
       government-level Salesforce (GovCloud+ Hyper force) cloud environment to interface with and
       update data accordingly. Having and maintaining a centralized location for secure data housing
       and validation enables grantees and staff to enter information and data, and it ensures proper data
       validation if completed.

    2) What are the retention periods of data in this system?
        Grantees must maintain SVOG award files for four years following the initial award
        Notice of Award (NOA) issuance for employment-related records and three years for all
        other records, per SBA Records Management Policy.
        The system is hosted on a secured AWS Cloud environment with backups. SVOG
        follows Data Retention policies and routinely reviews all forms of compliance with the
        agency,



                                                                                                PAGE 9 OF 12

PRIVACY IMPACT ASSESSMENT                         SHUTTERED VENUE OPERATORS GRANT (SVOG)

  3) What are the procedures for the disposition of the data at the end of the retention period?
     How long will the reports produced be kept? Where are the procedures documented?
     Data disposal follows SBA Records and Information Management SOP 00-41-03 and NARA
     General Records Schedule guidelines. Disposal includes secure deletion and de-identification of
     sensitive data.

  4) Is the system using technologies in ways that the SBA has not previously employed (e.g.,
     monitoring software, Smart Cards, Caller-ID)?
      No

  5) How does the use of this technology affect public/employee privacy?
     N/A

  6) Will this system provide the capability to identify, locate, and monitor individuals? If yes,
     explain.
     No

  7) What kinds of information are collected as a function of the monitoring of individuals?
     No monitoring of individuals is conducted.

  8) What controls will be used to prevent unauthorized monitoring?
     Access is controlled through User IDs, password controls, multi-factor authentication, role-based
     access, and auditing of security-related events.
     Strong encryption (data in transit and at rest), auditing of security-related events, and contractual
     agreements.

  9) Under which Privacy Act systems of records notice (SORN) does the system operate?
     Provide the number and name.
     System of Records Notice (SORN) SBA-20:

  10) If the system is being modified, will the Privacy Act system of records notice require
      amendment or revision?
      Yes.

  F. DATA ACCESS

  1) Who will have access to the data in the system? (e.g., contractors, users, managers, system
     administrators, developers, tribes, and others)
     Agency officials, SBA contractors, regulators, and experts engaged by the SBA will have access
     to the data in the system, limited by role-based access control. Includes system administrators,
     and system access is granted on a need-to-know basis in compliance with the Privacy Act of 1974
     and SBA security policies.

  2) How is access to the data by a user determined? Are criteria, procedures, controls, and
     responsibilities regarding access documented?
     Access to the data is determined by the individual’s role and responsibility. Access is limited by
     control of User IDs, password controls, and the assignment of a Responsibility profile to all User
     IDs. Each Responsibility comes with a pre-determined set of privileges, limiting data that may be
     viewed to those screens and reports that are within the duties and needs of the user. User access
     policies and procedures for the SVOGS information system have been published.


                                                                                               PAGE 10 OF 12

PRIVACY IMPACT ASSESSMENT                         SHUTTERED VENUE OPERATORS GRANT (SVOG)

  3) Will users have access to all data on the system, or will the users’ access be restricted?
     Explain.
     Role-based Access Controls are restricted based on the level of system responsibility assigned to
     specific users by their managers and approved by the SVOGS Information System Security
     Officer, the Contracting Officer (in case the user is not an employee), and/or the System Owner.
     System end-users are Grantees and members of the public. Their access is limited to only the
     SVOG public-facing portal, and they can only access their data, records, and grant status. This is
     ensured by the enforcement of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).

  4) What controls are in place to prevent the misuse (e.g., unauthorized browsing) of data by
     those having access? (Please list processes and training materials.)
     Access is limited by control of User IDs, password controls, and the assignment of a
     Responsibility profile to all User IDs, effectively limiting the data objects and fields they can
     access. In addition to this, record-level security is enabled using access control settings, role
     hierarchies, and defined user roles that limit access to sensitive information to only those with a
     need to know. Everyone must take Cyber Security Awareness training with the Privacy module.

  5) Are contractors involved with the design and development of the system, and will they be
     involved with the maintenance of the system? If yes, were Security and Privacy Act
     contract clauses inserted in their contracts and other regulatory measures addressed?
     Yes. Security and Privacy Act clauses are in each respective contract for the contractors that are
     involved in the design, development, and maintenance of the SVOGS information system.
     FAR 52.224-1 Privacy Act Notification (Apr 1984)
     FAR 52.224-2 Privacy Act (Apr 1984)
     Yes. The contractors, as outlined in FAR 52.224-1 Privacy Act Notification (Apr 1984) and FAR
     52.224-2 Privacy Act (Apr 1984), must comply with these regulations in all aspects of support
     and development. Contractors are also required to ensure that the system, data, and all access
     comply with the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP), the
     National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and the Federal Information Security
     Management Act (FISMA) requirements.

  6) Do other systems share data or have access to the data in the system? If yes, explain.
     The SVOG system shares data with third-party validation sources such as Treasury DNP and IRS
     (4506T) through one-time automation data requests/downloads and manual efforts. The system
     currently does not exchange data with ETRAN. JAAMS transactions are recorded manually. To
     comply with Data Retention policies, SVOG Data is exported to an SBA-controlled data
     warehouse (AWS), and security is used to limit visibility in reporting capabilities. SVOG publicly
     reports using two different methods. The first is to publish approved grants using the SVOG data |
     U.S. Small Business Administration site. The second method is by submitting updates to the
     Treasury Do Not Pay (DNP) system, which is performed through a secure DNP website.
     Through the Salesforce system, data is collected, and reports are generated for internal staff and
     management, and where appropriate and upon approved request, for other governmental agencies,
     but no user information is provided. The reports are for a broad overview of the program.
     SVOG will respond to FOIA, Litigation, and OIG requests. There is no direct access to this data
     by the requestors. All reports/records are manually collected and provided via a secure link.
     SVOG continues to work with approved third-party systems to streamline our data-sharing
     process.

  7) Who will be responsible for protecting the privacy rights of the public and employees
     affected by the interface?


                                                                                              PAGE 11 OF 12
                                Controlled Unclassified Information
PRIVACY IMPACT ASSESSMENT                        SHUTTERED VENUE OPERATORS GRANT (SVOG)

      System Owner, Information System Security Officer, system administrators, and Senior Agency
      Official for Privacy (SAOP)

  8) Will other agencies share data or have access to the data in this system via transferred or
     transmitted (Federal, State, and Local Other (e.g., Tribal))?
     Data is shared with Department of Treasury – Fiscal Service for the purpose of mitigating fraud
     via Do Not Pay Program.

  9) How will the shared data be used by the other agency?
     Data is shared with the Treasury DNP and IRS through a transmission process, but there is no
     direct connection to the SVOG data itself.

  10) What procedures are in place for ensuring proper use of the shared data?
      IRS uses shared data for tax compliance audits, and law enforcement agencies may access data
      for fraud investigations.
      The agency MOU between SBA and treasury provides guidelines on how the data is to be used,
      and then we talk about shared data for tax compliance and Treasury DNP uses for the agency and
      program. We did find that MOU did include SVOG data to the Treasury and EMP.
    Treasury DNP is authorized and governed by the Payment Integrity Information Act
     of 2019 (PIIA) and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) memoranda and circulars.

  11) Privacy Impact Analysis: Discuss what privacy risks were identified and how they were
      mitigated for information shared internally and externally.

     Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Memorandum 17-12 (M-17-12) identifies risks of
     disclosure of individuals’ privacy data in five major areas. The table below identifies those risk
     areas and the mitigating strategies for each.

        Potential Risk                         Mitigating Strategies
        Sensitivity of Data Elements           The sensitivity of data elements is mitigated using
                                               access control, auditing, monitoring, authentication,
                                               encryption, and boundary protection.
        Context of the Data                    Context of data elements is mitigated using access
                                               control, auditing, monitoring, authentication,
                                               encryption, and boundary protection.
        Revelation of Private Information      Revelation would have a significant negative impact
                                               and is mitigated through the use of access control,
                                               auditing, monitoring, authentication, and boundary
                                               protection.
        Impact on Vulnerable Populations       Disclosure of data would adversely affect individuals,
                                               but this would not be focused on any vulnerable
                                               population.
        Relevance of the Data Over Time        Data are kept current and remain relevant over time.
                                               Mitigation includes access control, auditing,
                                               monitoring, authentication, encryption, and boundary
                                               protection.
