compatible with the purpose(s) of this 

system of records. The researcher must 

agree to maintain safeguards to protect 

the security and confidentiality of such 

records. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF

RECORDS: 

Records in this system are maintained 

in a secure, password-protected 

electronic system. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF

RECORDS: 

Records in this system will be 

indexed and retrieved by a unique 

number assigned to each individual that 

will be cross-referenced by the 

individual’s name on a separate list. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND

DISPOSAL OF RECORDS: 

The Department will submit a 

retention and disposition schedule that 

covers the records contained in this 

system to the National Archives and 

Records Administration (NARA) for 

review. The records will not be 

destroyed until such time as NARA 

approves said schedule. 

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL

SAFEGUARDS: 

Security protocols for this system of 

records meet all required security 

standards. The contractor will be 

required to ensure that information 

identifying individuals is in files 

physically separated from other research 

data and electronic files identifying 

individuals are separated from other 

electronic research data files. The 

contractor and subcontractor will 

maintain security of the complete set of 

all master data files and documentation. 

Access to individually identifiable data 

will be strictly controlled. All 

information will be kept in locked file 

cabinets during nonworking hours, and 

work on hardcopy data will take place 

in a single room, except for data entry. 

Physical security of electronic data 

also will be maintained. Security 

features that protect project data will 

include: Password-protected accounts 

that authorize users to use the 

contractor’s and subcontractor’s systems 

but to access only specific network 

directories and network software; user 

rights and directory and file attributes 

that limit those who can use particular 

directories and files and determine how 

they can use them; and additional 

security features that the network 

administrators will establish for projects 

as needed. The contractor’s and 

subcontractor’s employees who 

‘‘maintain’’ (collect, maintain, use, or 

disseminate) data in this system must 

comply with the requirements of the 

Privacy Act and the confidentiality 

standards in section 183 of the ESRA 

(20 U.S.C. 9573).
