DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND 

HUMAN SERVICES 

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: National Institutes of Health 

(NIH), Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS). 

ACTION: Notice of a Modified System of 

Records. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, 

as amended, the Department of Health 

and Human Services is updating and 

renaming an existing system of records 

maintained by the National Institutes of 

Health (NIH), 09–25–0165, ‘‘National 

Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Loan 

Repayment and Scholarship (OLRS) 

Record System, HHS/NIH/OD’’ (to be 

renamed ‘‘NIH Loan Repayment 

Records’’). In a separate Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) 

published elsewhere in today’s Federal 

Register, HHS/NIH is proposing to 

exempt a subset of records in the system 

of records from certain requirements of 

the Privacy Act, based on subsection 

(k)(5) of the Privacy Act. 

DATES: The comment period for this 

modified System of Records Notice 

(SORN) is co-extensive with the 60-day 

comment period provided in the 

companion NPRM also published in 

today’s Federal Register. Written 

comments on the SORN should be 

submitted on or before March 15, 2021. 

The modified SORN will be applicable 

when the proposed exemptions are 

made effective by publication of a Final 

Rule, which will not occur until after 

the 60-day comment period ends and 

any comments received on the NPRM 

(or on this SORN) have been addressed. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by the Privacy Act System of 

Records Number (09–25–0165), by any

Blvd., Suite 601, MSC 7669, Rockville, 

MD 20852. Comments received will be 

available for public inspection at this 

same address from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., 

Monday through Friday, except federal 

holidays. Please call 301–496–4606 for 

an appointment. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

General questions about the proposed 

modified system of records may be 

submitted to Celeste Dade-Vinson, NIH 

Privacy Act Officer, Office of 

Management Assessment, Office of the 

Director, National Institutes of Health

telephone 301 402–6201. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

system of records (hereafter referred to 

as the ‘‘NIH Loan Repayment Records’’), 

covers records maintained in a 

particular NIH information technology 

(IT) system managed by NIH’s Division 

of Loan Repayment (DLR) that are used 

to manage and evaluate the intramural 

and extramural educational Loan 

Repayment Programs (LRP) at NIH. As 

of the date of this publication, there are 

eight such programs that provide 

student loan repayments for qualified 

individuals who agree to conduct 

biomedical and behavioral research; 

recipients include NIH employee 

researchers as well as scientists 

conducting research at non-profit 

organizations outside NIH. Scholarship 

program records at NIH are now covered 

by the following NIH SORNs, so are 

omitted from modified SORN 09–25– 

0165: 

• 09–25–0014—Clinical Research: 

Student Records, HHS/NIH/OD/OIR/ 

OE 

• 09–25–0108—Personnel: Guest 

Researchers, Special Volunteers, and 

Scientists Emeriti, HHS/NIH/OHRM 

• 09–25–0140—International Scientific 

Researchers in Intramural 

Laboratories, ORS/DIRS 

• 09–25–0158—Administration Records 

of Applicants and Awardees of the 

Intramural Research Training Awards 

Program, HHS/NIH/OD/OE 

The System of Records Notice (SORN) 

for System 09–25–0165 has been 

reformatted in accordance with OMB 

Circular A–108 and updated with these 

changes: 

• System name. The system name has 

been changed from ‘‘National Institutes 

of Health (NIH) Office of Loan 

Repayment and Scholarship Records 

system, HHS/NIH/OD’’ to ‘‘NIH Loan 

Repayment Records.’’ 

• Throughout the SORN. References 

to scholarship program records have 

been omitted; for example, the 

abbreviation ‘‘LRSPs’’ is now ‘‘LRPs.’’ 

• System Location and System 

Manager. Office names and addresses 

have been updated. 

• Authority. This section has been 

updated to remove all authorities 

2678 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 8 / Wednesday, January 13, 2021 / Notices 

previously cited, except 42 U.S.C. 288– 

1 and 288–2, and to cite 31 U.S.C. 7701 

as authorizing collection of applicants’ 

social security numbers (SSNs). 

• Purposes. The purpose descriptions 

have been reorganized, so that the three 

purposes in the previously published 

SORN are now within the first purpose 

description in the modified SORN. The 

first purpose description is now more 

detailed. Two new purposes have been 

added to indicate that records are used 

to evaluate the long-term impact of the 

LRP on scientists’ research career 

development and to execute LRP 

ambassador and alumni activities. 

• Categories of Individuals. This 

section now includes more categories of 

individuals. In addition to loan 

applicants and awardees, it now also 

includes appointees to the LRP 

ambassador program, alumni of the LRP, 

and NIH staff. A note has been added at 

the end of this section explaining that 

reviewers who make recommendations 

to DLR about applicants for loan 

repayment are not included as subject 

individuals because their personal 

identifiers are not used to retrieve 

records in this system of records. 

• Categories of Records. Information 

compiled in the NIH Loan Repayment 

system remains the same, but the 

records description in the SORN is now 

separated into two categories of records 

(award information and pre-award 

information) and arranged to indicate 

whether one or both categories apply to 

each type of individual. A sentence has 

been added to clarify the scope of the 

SORN, so that it does not duplicate 

related SORNs. 

• Routine Uses. 

Æ No substantive changes were made 

to the first three routine uses. 

Æ Routine use 4 (authorizing 

disclosures to contractors and 

subcontractors) has been revised to 

include additional recipients— 

consultants, volunteers, awardees, and 

other agencies engaged by HHS—and to 

describe more broadly the purposes for 

which they might be engaged by HHS 

and require access to records in this 

system of records. The previous 

description was limited to ‘‘collecting, 

compiling, aggregating, analyzing, or 

refining records in the system.’’ 

Æ Routine use 5’s language has been 

updated for clarity, but the scope has 

not been substantively changed. 

Æ Routine use 6 still authorizes 

disclosures to the National Student 

Clearinghouse, but no longer covers 

disclosures to consumer reporting 

agencies for purposes of vetting loan 

applications, because such disclosures 

are inapplicable to this system of 

records. 

Æ Debt collection related routine uses 

(numbered 7 through 15 in the 

previously published SORN) and a 

separate section titled ‘‘Disclosure to 

Consumer Reporting Agencies’’ have 

been deleted because they are no longer 

applicable to this system of records. 

Æ The routine use that was numbered 

as 16 in the previously published SORN 

(authorizing disclosures to officials or 

representatives of grantee institutions) is 

now numbered as 7 in the modified 

SORN and has not been changed. 

Æ The routine use that was numbered 

as 17 in the previously published SORN 

(pertaining to the scholarship programs) 

is no longer relevant to this system of 

records and has been deleted. 

Æ The routine use that was numbered 

as 18 in the previously-published SORN 

(authorizing disclosures to HHS 

contractors and subcontractors for the 

purpose of recruiting, screening, and 

matching health professionals for NIH 

employment in qualified research 

positions under the loan and 

scholarship programs) is now 

encompassed within the scope of 

revised routine use 4. 

Æ Routine uses 8 through 11 are new. 

Æ The two breach response-related 

routine uses which were added by a 

partial modification published at 83 FR 

6591 (Feb. 14, 2018) are now numbered 

as 12 and 13. 

• Storage. This section has been 

updated to provide examples of 

electronic media currently used for 

storage such as mobile or portable 

storage devices like laptops, smart 

phones, and DVDs, and to omit 

microfiche, tape, and discs. 

• Retrieval. This section has been 

updated to include an additional 

personal identifier, NIH Electronic 

Research Administration (eRA) 

Commons identification number, which 

can be used to retrieve records about 

individuals registered in Commons (an 

online interface where signing officials, 

principal investigators, trainees and 

Postdoctoral researchers at institutions/ 

organizations can access and share 

administrative information relating to 

research grants). 

• Retention. This section has been 

updated to identify National Archives 

and Records Administration (NARA) 

General Records Schedules 1.1.010 and 

2.4.090, instead of an NIH records 

control schedule, as the applicable 

disposition authority. The disposition 

periods and practices remain the same, 

except that two additional retention 

periods have been added: ‘‘Grantee 

applicant case files are destroyed six 

years after disapproval or withdrawal of 

the associated application’’ and ‘‘NIH is 

authorized to retain electronic records 

of applicants until the agency’s business 

needs cease, to help facilitate follow up 

assessment regardless of award status.’’ 

• Safeguards. This section has been 

updated to reflect current safeguards. 

• Exemptions. This section now 

reflects that the system of records is 

exempt from the access, amendment, 

and accounting of disclosures 

requirements of the Privacy Act to the 

extent that compliance with those 

requirements would reveal the identity 

of a source who furnished information 

to the Federal Government under an 

express promise that the identity of the 

source would be held in confidence. 

The exemptions protect reviewers who 

make recommendations to DLR about 

loan repayment applicants from being 

subject to threats, bribery, intimidation, 

retaliation, and any other form of 

improper influence that may cause bias 

during the review and award processes. 

Reviewers include peer reviewers, 

referees, and other recommenders. 

Because these changes are significant, 

a report on the modified system of 

records has been sent to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) and 

Congress in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 

552a(r). 

Dated: November 19, 2020.

Section 7701 of Title 31 U.S.C. 

authorizes collection of Social Security 

Numbers. 

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM: 

The records are used by NIH’s 

Division of Loan Repayment for the 

following purposes: 

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 8 / Wednesday, January 13, 2021 / Notices 2679 

(1) To manage intramural and 

extramural educational Loan Repayment 

Programs (LRPs) at NIH; specifically to: 

• Identify and select applicants for 

the NIH LRPs; 

• Verify applicants’ information and 

program eligibility; 

• Select LRP awardees and 

administer their LRP contracts or 

awards, including checking research 

service verifications (receiving 

institutional certifications that awardees 

are performing the research project/ 

work proposed in their application), 

continued employment, and continued 

financial and program eligibility; and 

• Monitor loan repayment activities, 

such as payment tracking, payment 

verifications, loan statuses, and loan 

default. 

(2) To evaluate the LRP programmatic 

goals and the long-term impact of the 

LRP on scientists’ research career 

development. 

(3) To execute LRP ambassador and 

alumni activities, the three goals of 

which are to a) advocate to interested 

parties about the benefits of choosing a 

biomedical research career, b) advise 

current and future potential LRP 

applicants and policy makers regarding 

the benefits of the LRP, and c) mentor 

current and future potential LRP 

applicants regarding strategies for 

applying to the LRP. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM: 

The records are about the following 

categories of individuals (these are the 

only individuals whose personal

from this system of records): 

1. Applicants for, or awardees of, the 

NIH Loan Repayment Programs (LRPs). 

2. Applicants for, or appointees as, 

ambassador of the NIH LRP. 

3. Alumni of the NIH LRP. 

Reviewers who provide materials and 

recommendations to DLR about 

applicants are not included as subject 

individuals, because records are not 

retrieved by their names or other 

personal identifiers. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

This system includes a variety of preaward and award management records 

that contain information needed to 

process applications and manage loan 

repayment awards across the award 

lifecycle. Listed below are the categories 

of individuals mentioned above, 

matched with the records collected 

about them: 

1. Applicants to the NIH LRP—preaward information; 

2. Awardees of NIH LRPs—pre-award 

and post-award information; 

3. LRP applicants and awardees as 

appointees to the LRP ambassador 

program—pre-award and post-award 

information; 

4. Appointees to the LRP ambassador 

program or LRP Ambassadors– 

professional description and contact 

information; 

5. Alumni of the NIH LRP—pre-award 

and post-award information. 

Note that NIH may maintain some of 

the same records in more than one IT 

system and has opted to create a 

separate SORN for each IT system. This 

SORN covers records in the NIH IT 

system managed by NIH’s Division of 

Loan Repayment.

reviewers, mentors, supervisors, 

institutional business officials, 

participating lending and loan servicing 

institutions, educational and awardee 

institutions, other federal agencies, 

consumer reporting agencies, credit 

bureaus, the National Student 

Clearinghouse, third parties that provide

commercial residential address 

databases which are used to find or 

verify current home addresses. 

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: 

Records about an individual may be 

disclosed from this system of records to 

parties outside HHS, without the 

individual’s prior written consent, for 

the following purposes: 

1. To a congressional office from the 

record of an individual in response to 

an inquiry from the congressional office 

made at the written request of the 

individual. 

2. To the Department of Justice (DOJ) 

or to a court or other adjudicative body 

in litigation or other proceedings when: 

• HHS or any component thereof or 

another participating agency; or 

• any employee of HHS or of another 

participating agency in the employee’s 

official capacity; or 

• any employee of HHS in the 

employee’s individual capacity where 

the DOJ, HHS, or participating agency 

has agreed to represent the employee; or 

• the United States, if it is a party to 

or has a direct and substantial interest 

in the proceeding and the disclosure of 

such records is deemed by HHS to be 

relevant and necessary to the 

proceeding. 

3. When a record on its face, or in 

conjunction with other records, 

indicates a violation or potential 

violation of law, whether civil, criminal, 

or regulatory in nature, and whether 

arising by general statute or particular 

program statute, or by regulation, rule, 

or order issued pursuant thereto, 

disclosure may be made to the 

appropriate public authority, whether 

federal, foreign, state, local, tribal, or 

otherwise responsible for enforcing, 

investigating, or prosecuting the 

violation or charged with enforcing or 

implementing the statute, rule, 

regulation, or order issued pursuant 

thereto. 

4. To appropriate federal agencies and 

HHS contractors, awardees, consultants, 

or volunteers who have been engaged by 

HHS to assist in the accomplishment of 

an HHS function relating to the 

purposes of this system of records and 

that need to have access to the records 

in order to assist HHS in performing the 

activity. Any contractor will be required 

to comply with the Privacy Act of 1974, 

as amended.

credentials, and educational 

background, and to determine if an 

applicant is suitable for participation in 

a LRP. 

6. To the National Student 

Clearinghouse using the Loan Locator 

internet System or similar system to 

assist in the verification of loan data 

submitted by LRP applicants. 

Disclosures are limited to the 

applicant’s name, address, social 

security number, and other information 

necessary to identify the applicant; 

locate all student loans; verify payment 

addresses; identify the funding being 

sought or amount and status of the debt; 

and identify the program under which 

the applicant or claim is being 

processed. 

7. To institution officials or 

representatives that serve in a 

supervisory role to the awardee to 

support the review of an LRP 

application, or to carry out performance 

or administration under the terms and 

conditions of the LRP award, or to 

monitor, manage, and resolve problems 

that might arise in performance or 

administration of the LRP contract. 

8. To the National Archives and 

Records Administration (NARA) in 

records management inspections 

conducted under the authority of 44 

U.S.C. 2904 and 2906.

the issuance or retention of a license, 

grant, cooperative agreement, loan 

repayment, or other benefit by the 

requesting agency, to the extent that the 

record is relevant and necessary to the 

requesting agency’s decision in the 

matter. The other agency or licensing 

organization may then make a request 

supported by the written consent of the 

individual for further information if it 

so chooses. HHS will not make an initial 

disclosure unless the information has 

been determined to be sufficiently 

reliable to support a referral to another 

office within the agency or to another 

federal agency for criminal, civil, 

administrative, personnel, or regulatory 

action. 

10. To qualified experts, not within 

the definition of agency employees as 

prescribed in agency regulations or

Executive Order 13520, if the matching 

program requires data from this system 

of records. 

12. To appropriate agencies, entities, 

and persons when (1) HHS suspects or 

has confirmed that there has been a 

breach of the system of records; (2) HHS 

has determined that as a result of the 

suspected or confirmed breach there is 

a risk of harm to individuals, HHS 

(including its information systems, 

programs, and operations), the federal 

government, or national security; and 

(3) the disclosure made to such 

agencies, entities, and persons is 

reasonably necessary to assist in 

connection with HHS’s efforts to 

respond to the suspected or confirmed 

breach or to prevent, minimize, or 

remedy such harm. 

13. To another federal agency or 

federal entity, when HHS determines 

that information from this system of 

records is reasonably necessary to assist 

the recipient agency or entity in (1) 

responding to a suspected or confirmed 

breach or (2) preventing, minimizing, or 

remedying the risk of harm to 

individuals, the recipient agency or 

entity (including its information 

systems, programs, and operations), the 

federal government, or national security, 

resulting from a suspected or confirmed 

breach. 

NIH may also disclose information 

about an individual, without the 

individual’s prior written consent, from 

this system of records to parties outside 

HHS for any of the purposes authorized 

directly in the Privacy Act at 5 U.S.C. 

552a(b)(2) and (b)(4)–(11). 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF

RECORDS: 

Records are stored in various 

electronic media (secure servers and 

mobile/portable storage devices, such as 

laptops, tablets, Universal Serial Bus 

(USB) drives, media cards, portable hard 

drives, smart phones, Compact Disc 

(CD)s and Digital Versatile Disc (DVD)s) 

and in paper form. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF

RECORDS: 

Records are retrieved by the subject 

individual’s name, social security 

number, loan repayment number, or 

NIH eRA Commons ID number for LRP 

awardees. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND

DISPOSAL OF RECORDS: 

Records are retained and disposed of 

under the authority of NARA General 

Records Schedules 1.1.010, Financial 

transactions records related to 

procuring goods and services, paying 

bills, collecting debts, and accounting; 

and 2.4.090, Incentive package records. 

Participant case files are transferred to 

a federal records center one year after 

closeout and destroyed five years later. 

Closeout is the process by which it is 

determined that all applicable 

administrative actions and 

disbursements of benefits have been 

completed by the NIH’s DLR and that all 

service obligations have been completed 

by the participant. NIH staff case files 

are destroyed three years after 

disapproval or withdrawal of the 

application. Applicant case files are 

destroyed six years after disapproval or 

withdrawal of the application. In 

accordance with both NARA General 

Records Schedules 1.1.010 and 2.4.090, 

NIH may retain certain electronic 

records about applicants indefinitely, 

until the agency’s business needs cease, 

to help facilitate follow up assessment 

of applicants regardless of their award 

status. 

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL

SAFEGUARDS: 

Measures to prevent unauthorized 

disclosures are implemented as 

appropriate for each location or form of 

storage and for the types of records 

maintained. Safeguards conform to the 

HHS Information Security and Privacy 

Program, https://www.hhs.gov/ocio/ 

securityprivacy/index.html. Site(s) 

implement personnel and procedural 

safeguards such as the following: 

Authorized Users: Access is strictly 

limited according to the principle of 

least privilege which means giving a 

user only those privileges which are 

essential to that user’s work. 

Administrative Safeguards: Controls 

to ensure proper protection of 

information and information technology 

systems include the completion of a 

Security Assessment and Authorization

agency function, DLR includes the 

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 8 / Wednesday, January 13, 2021 / Notices 2681 

applicable Privacy Act Federal 

Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses in 

the solicitations and contracts. 

Physical Safeguards: Controls to 

secure the data and protect paper and 

electronic records, buildings, and 

related infrastructure against threats 

associated with their physical 

environment include the use of the HHS 

Employee ID or badge number and NIH 

key cards, security guards, cipher locks, 

biometrics, and closed-circuit TV. Paper 

records are secured in locked file 

cabinets, offices and facilities. 

Electronic media are kept on secure 

servers or computer systems. 

Technical Safeguards: Controls 

executed by the computer system are 

employed to minimize the possibility of 

unauthorized access, use, or 

dissemination of the data in the system. 

Examples include user identification, 

password protection, firewalls, virtual 

private network, encryption, intrusion 

detection system, common access cards, 

smart cards, biometrics and public key 

infrastructure. 

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES: 

This system of records is exempt from 

access under the Privacy Act to the 

extent that providing access to a subject 

individual would reveal the identity of 

a source who furnished information to 

the Federal Government under an 

express promise that the identity of the 

source would be held in confidence. 

However, DLR will consider all access 

requests addressed to the System 

Manager. To request access to a record 

about you, write to the System Manager 

at the address identified above, and 

reasonably specify the record contents 

sought. The request should include (a) 

your full name, (b) your address, (c) the 

approximate date(s) the information was 

collected, (d) the type(s) of information 

collected, and (e) the office(s) or 

official(s) responsible for the collection 

of information. You may also request an 

accounting of disclosures, if any, that 

have been made of any records 

maintained about you. 

You must verify your identity by 

providing either (a) a notarization of 

your signed request or (b) a written 

statement certifying under penalty of 

perjury that you are the individual who 

you claim to be, and that you 

understand that the knowing and willful 

request for a record pertaining to an 

individual under false pretenses is a 

criminal offense under the Privacy Act, 

subject to a fine of up to five thousand 

dollars. 

CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES: 

This system of records is exempt from 

the amendment provisions of the 

Privacy Act to the extent that 

responding to an amendment request 

would reveal the identity of a source 

who furnished information to the 

Federal Government under an express 

promise that the identity of the source 

would be held in confidence. However, 

DLR will consider all amendment 

requests addressed to the System 

Manager. To contest information in a 

record about you, write to the System 

Manager identified above, provide the 

same information required for an access 

request, and verify your identity in the 

manner required for an access request. 

Reasonably identify the record and 

specify the information contested, state 

the corrective action sought and the 

reason(s) for requesting the correction, 

and include any supporting 

documentation. The right to contest 

records is limited to information that is 

factually inaccurate, incomplete, 

irrelevant, or untimely (obsolete). 

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES: 

This system of records is not exempt 

from the notification provisions of the 

Privacy Act. To request notification of 

whether this system of records contains 

a record about you, you must make a 

written request to System Manager 

identified above, provide the same 

information required for an access 

request, verify your identity in the 

manner required for an access request, 

and include the name and number of 

this system of records. 

EXEMPTIONS PROMULGATED FOR THE SYSTEM:

constitute investigatory material 

compiled solely for the purpose of 

determining suitability, eligibility, or

access, amendment, and accounting of 

disclosures requirements of the Privacy 

Act, at 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3) and (d)(1) 

through (4), to the extent that
