Environmental Protection Agency. An 

updated listing of Federal agencies that 

have published LEP Guidance can be 

found at http://www.lep.gov/. The DOJ 

Recipient LEP Guidance in particular 

provides many helpful examples of how 

to apply the four-factor analysis when 

making decisions about the need for 

translating documents, obtaining 

interpreter, and hiring bilingual staff. 

See 67 FR 41466 (June 18, 2002). 

Recipients may also benefit from 

learning about the enforcement actions 

of several agencies since the DOJ 

Guidance was first issued in 2002. For 

example, DOJ has entered into several 

agreements that are available online at 

http://www.lep.gov. In addition, HHS 

has resolved several LEP enforcement 

actions against health service providers. 

Those resolution agreements are 

available at http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/ 

civilrights/activities/examples/LEP/ 

index.html. In any compliance and 

enforcement activity, DHS will review 

the facts and circumstances pertaining 

to the recipient to determine whether 

the recipient has complied with its 

obligations under this guidance. 

Area-specific guidance and LEP 

planning tools for a number of types of 

recipients, including municipal 

governments, law enforcement agencies, 

and recipients engaged in emergency 

preparedness can be found at http:// 

www.lep.gov/resources/resources.html. 

Recipients are encouraged to avail 

themselves of these resources. In 

addition, the Office for Civil Rights and 

Civil Liberties is available to provide 

technical assistance to recipients on the 

provision of language services to LEP 

persons served or encountered in a 

recipient’s program. 

As explained in this guidance, all 

recipients of Federal financial assistance 

from DHS must meet the obligation to 

take reasonable steps to ensure access to 

programs and activities by LEP persons. 

This guidance clarifies the Title VI 

regulatory obligation to address the 

language needs of LEP persons, in 

appropriate circumstances and in a 

reasonable manner by applying the fourfactor analysis. In the context of 

emergency planning and response, 

health and safety, and law enforcement 

operations, where the potential for 

greater consequences are at issue, DHS 

will look for strong evidence that 

recipients have taken reasonable steps 

to ensure access.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 

1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS) Office of Health Affairs (OHA) 

proposes to establish a new system of 

records titled, DHS/OHA—001 

Contractor Occupational Health and 

Immunization Records System of 

Records. This system, under the 

authority of the Chief Medical Officer, 

collects occupational health and 

immunization management records as 

part of the Directorate of Science and 

Technology’s (S&T’s) Laboratories and 

Federally Funded Research and 

Development Centers (FFRDC) 

occupational health surveillance 

operations. 

DHS/S&T Office of National 

Laboratories (ONL) develops, sustains 

and expands a coordinated network of 

S&T Laboratories and other FFRDC to 

help deliver critical homeland security 

capabilities. These S&T entities include: 

Chemical Security Analysis Center 

(CSAC), National Urban Science and 

Technology Laboratory (NUSTL), 

National Biodefense Analysis and 

Countermeasures Center (NBACC), 

Plum Island Animal Disease Center 

(PIADC), and Transportation Security 

Laboratory (TSL). ONL provides a 

coordinated, enduring core of 

productive science, technology, and 

engineering laboratories, organizations, 

and institutions, which can provide the 

knowledge and technology required to 

secure the Nation. In support of this 

effort, occupational health and 

immunization records are managed and 

maintained by a contracted, designated 

Competent Medical Authority (CMA). 

The CMA ensures verification of staff 

immunization status and general 

occupational health and safety, allowing 

them to work with specific material and 

use certain personal protective 

equipment in designated laboratory 

areas. 

Occupational health surveillance 

programs are typically in place at 

institutions conducting biological 

research involving potentially high-risk 

agents to ensure occupational health of 

all personnel. As such, occupational 

health surveillance for contractors is 

commonly practiced at the S&T 

Laboratories and FFRDCs to ensure the 

health and safety of these individuals. A 

portion of the research conducted at the 

S&T Laboratories and FFRDCs involve 

working with biological threats and 

select agents and toxins. During such 

research, there is always a possibility 

that DHS contractors could become 

exposed to hazardous materials. It is 

part of biological laboratory best 

practices to maintain contractor’s 

occupational health and immunization 

records to ensure that appropriate and 

timely medical care is provided in the 

case of any potential risk of exposure. In 

the event of individual exposure, 

maintenance of occupational health and 

immunization records will facilitate 

appropriate mitigation and treatment of 

the individual. 

In conjunction with occupational 

health surveillance, during the course of 

research conducted at the laboratories, 

contractors are often required to wear 

certain articles of personal protective 

equipment, such as respirators, in order 

to access and work in specific areas of 

the laboratory. Maintaining 

occupational health records helps verify 

that the contractor meets the health 

requirements to use such equipment. 

Additionally, DHS contractors 

conducting foreign travel as part of their 

duties at DHS have to ensure that they 

receive all appropriate immunizations 

and vaccinations prior to their travels. 

Managing contractor immunization 

records will facilitate recordkeeping of 

this information. 

The purpose of this system is to 

manage, quantify, monitor, and track 

occupational health and immunization 

records of contractors working at S&T 

Laboratories or FFRDCs, and employees 

and contractors from other Federal 

agencies assigned to those S&T entities 

created in support of S&T research 

mission and occupational health 

surveillance operations. The 

Department’s authority for this 

collection is 6 U.S.C. 321e which 

authorizes the DHS Chief Medical 

Officer to ensure ‘‘internal and external 

coordination of all medical 

preparedness and response activities of 

the Department.’’ The Chief Medical 

Officer serves as the Department’s 

primary point of contact on medical and 

health issues, and performs such other 

duties relating to the Chief Medical 

Officer’s responsibilities as the 

Secretary may require. DHS Delegation 

5001 (to the Assistant Secretary for 

Health Affairs (ASHA) and Chief 

Medical Officer) builds upon the Chief 

Medical Officer’s statutory authority in 

6 U.S.C. 321e by granting the Chief 

Medical Officer ‘‘the authority to 

exercise oversight over all medical and 

public health activities of’’ DHS. Section 

II, DHS Delegation 5001. 

This system collects occupational 

health and immunization management 

records as part of S&T’s Laboratories 

and FFRDC occupational health 

surveillance operations. Efforts have 

been made to safeguard records in 

accordance with applicable rules and 

policies, including all applicable DHS 

automated systems security and access 

policies. Strict controls have been 

imposed to minimize risk of 

compromising the information that is 

being stored. Access to the computer 

system containing the records in this 

system is limited to those individuals 

who have a need to know the 

information for the performance of their 

official duties and who have appropriate 

clearances or permissions. Routine uses 

contained in this notice include some 

from the Department’s library of routine 

uses. Those include sharing with the 

Department of Justice (DOJ) for legal 

advice and representation; to a 

congressional office at the request of an 

individual; to the National Archives and 

Records Administration (NARA) for 

records management; to contractors in 

support of their contract assignment to 

DHS; to an agency, organization, or 

individual for audit; to agencies, 

entities, or individuals in the event of a 

security or information risk or 

compromise; to Federal, State, local and 

other governmental partners to enforce 

and prosecute laws and regulations; and 

to the news media where there exists a 

legitimate public interest. Routine Use 

H. is unique to this system and is for 

sharing with the Department of Energy 

when conducting research in 

collaboration with DHS under an 

interagency agreement or Memorandum 

of Understanding. There is no sharing 

with any other agencies or medical 

teams. This system of records will 

collect information under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act using the 

following forms: OMB No. 0579–0213/ 

0920–0576, APHIS/CDC Form-1

It is important to note that neither 

OHA or S&T are subject to the 

provisions of the Health Insurance 

Portability and Accountability Act of 

1996 (HIPAA) privacy regulation, 

‘‘Standards for Privacy of Individually 

Identifiable Health Information’’ 

(Privacy Rule), 45 CFR Parts 160 and 

164. OHA/S&T do not meet the statutory 

definition of a covered entity under 

HIPAA, 42 U.S.C. 1320d–1. Because 

OHA/S&T are not covered entities, the 

restrictions proscribed by the HIPAA 

Privacy Rule are not applicable. 

This newly established system will be 

included in the Department of 

Homeland Security’s inventory of 

record systems. 

II. Privacy Act 

The Privacy Act embodies fair 

information principles in a statutory 

framework governing the means by 

which the United States government 

collects, maintains, uses, and 

disseminates individuals’ records. The 

Privacy Act applies to information that 

is maintained in a ‘‘system of records.’’ 

A ‘‘system of records’’ is a group of any 

records under the control of an agency 

for which information is retrieved by 

the name of an individual or by some 

identifying number, symbol, or other 

identifying particular assigned to the 

individual. In the Privacy Act, an 

individual is defined to encompass 

United States citizens and lawful 

permanent residents. As a matter of 

policy, DHS extends administrative 

Privacy Act protections to all 

individuals where systems of records 

maintain information on U.S. citizens, 

lawful permanent residents, and 

visitors. Individuals may request access 

to their own records that are maintained 

in a system of records in the possession 

or under the control of DHS by 

complying with DHS Privacy Act 

regulations, 6 CFR part 5. 

The Privacy Act requires each agency 

to publish in the Federal Register a 

description denoting the type and 

character of each system of records that 

the agency maintains, and the routine 

uses that are contained in each system 

in order to make agency record keeping 

practices transparent, to notify 

individuals regarding the uses to their 

records are put, and to assist individuals 

to more easily find such files within the 

agency. Below is the description of the 

DHS/OHA–001 Contractor Occupational 

Health and Immunization Records 

System of Records. 

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), 

DHS has provided a report of this 

system of records to the Office of 

Management and Budget and to 

Congress.

this meeting is given under the Federal

The NAVSAC is an advisory 

committee authorized in 33 U.S.C. 2073 

and chartered under the provisions of 

the FACA. NAVSAC provides advice 

and recommendations to the Secretary, 

through the Commandant of the U.S. 

Coast Guard, on matters relating to 

prevention of maritime collisions, 

rammings, and groundings; including 

the Inland and International Rules of the 

Road, navigation regulations and 

equipment, routing measures, marine 

information, diving safety, and aids to 

navigation systems. 

Agenda 

The NAVSAC will meet to review, 

discuss and formulate recommendations 

on the following topics: 

Wednesday, May 4, 2011 

(1) Coastal Marine Spatial Planning 

(CMSP) 

Executive Order 13547 directed 

Federal Agencies to take a new 

approach to stewardship of the oceans, 

coasts, and Great Lakes. CMSP is one 

facet of that initiative. This topic will 

address the Coast Guard’s plans for 

implementing CMSP. 

(2) Navigation Rules Regulatory Project 

This topic will address the Coast 

Guard’s progress toward implementing 

NAVSAC approved changes to the 

Inland Navigation Rules. 

(3) E-Navigation Strategy 

Under the auspices of the Committee 

on the Marine Transportation System, 

the Coast Guard and other agencies are 

developing a National e-Navigation 

Strategy that will establish a framework 

for data exchange between and among 

ships and shore facilities. This topic 

will update the Council on that effort. 

(4) Electronic Chart Display and 

Information System (ECDIS) 

Mandatory carriage of ECDIS will be 

phased in beginning in 2012. This series 

of presentations will inform the Council 

of developments and difficulties 

encountered in deploying ECDIS, 

including accuracy of charted positions, 

the range of vessels to be impacted, and 

training requirements for ECDIS. 

(5) Virtual Aids to Navigation 

Aids to Navigation authorities are 

considering deploying virtual aids to 

navigation as an alternative to physical 

lights, daybeacons and buoys under 

certain circumstances. This topic will 

inform the Council on virtual aids and 

discuss their possible use in U.S. 

waters.
