PURPOSE(S):

The Department of Education 

(Department) may disclose information 

contained in a record in this system of 

records under the routine uses listed in 

this system of records without the 

consent of the individual if the 

disclosure is compatible with the 

purposes for which the record was 

collected. These disclosures may be 

made on a case-by-case basis or, if the 

Department has complied with the 

computer matching requirements of the 

Act, under a computer matching 

agreement. Any disclosure of 

individually identifiable information 

from a record in this system must also

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING,

DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

STORAGE: 

The Department maintains records on 

CD–ROM, and the contractor maintains 

PWALKER on PRODPC60 with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 234 / Wednesday, December 6, 2006 / Notices 70747 

data for this system on computers and 

in hard copy. 

RETRIEVABILITY: 

Records in this system are indexed by 

a number assigned to each individual, 

which is cross-referenced by the 

individual’s name on a separate list. 

SAFEGUARDS: 

All physical access to the 

Department’s site, and the site of the 

Department’s contractor where this 

system of records is maintained, is 

controlled and monitored by security 

personnel. The computer system 

employed by the Department offers a 

high degree of resistance to tampering 

and circumvention. This computer 

system limits data access to Department 

and contract staff on a ‘‘need to know’’ 

basis, and controls individual users’’ 

ability to access and alter records within 

the system. The contractor, Westat, has 

established a set of procedures to ensure 

confidentiality of data. The system 

ensures that information identifying 

individuals is in files physically 

separated from other research data. 

Westat will maintain security of the 

complete set of all master data files and 

documentation. Access to individually 

identifiable data will be strictly 

controlled. All data 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 will also be maintained. 

Security features that protect project 

data include: password-protected 

accounts that authorize users to use the 

Westat system 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; e-mail passwords that 

authorize the user to access mail 

services; and additional security 

features that the network administrator 

establishes for projects as needed. The 

contractor employees who maintain 

(collect, maintain, use, or disseminate) 

data in this system must comply with 

the requirements of the confidentiality 

standards in section 183 of the ESRA 

(20 U.S.C. 9573). 

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: 

Records are maintained and disposed 

of in accordance with the Department of 

Education’s Records Disposition 

Schedules (ED/RDS). In particular, the 

Department will follow the schedules 

outlined in Part 3 (Research Projects and 

Management Study Records) and Part 14 

(Electronic Records) of ED/RDS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 

section 6(c) of the Randolph-Sheppard 

Act (the Act), 20 U.S.C. 107d–2(c), the 

Secretary publishes in the Federal 

Register a synopsis of each arbitration 

panel decision affecting the 

administration of vending facilities on 

Federal and other property. 

Background 

This dispute concerned alleged 

violations of the Act (20 U.S.C. 107 et 

seq.), the implementing regulations in 

34 CFR part 395, and State rules and 

regulations by the Nevada Department 

of Employment, Training and 

Rehabilitation concerning complainant’s 

management of Facility #43, a vending 

machine route. 

A summary of the facts is as follows: 

Complainant has been a licensed vendor 

in the Nevada Department of 

Employment, Training and 

Rehabilitation’s Randolph-Sheppard 

vending facility program since 1987. On 

January 29, 2002, complainant filed a 

grievance with the Nevada Department 

of Employment, Training and 

Rehabilitation, the State licensing 

agency (SLA), alleging that the SLA—(1) 

denied his right as the Southern Nevada 

Representative to manage a vending 

facility at the Las Vegas Water District; 

(2) denied his right as the Southern 

Nevada Representative to manage a 

vending site at the Las Vegas 

Department of Energy Support Facility; 

(3) denied his right as the Southern 

Nevada Representative to service all 

vending sites in southern Nevada since 

May 1999; and (4) placed him on a 

corrective action plan concerning his 

alleged improper management of 

Facility #43 prior to his receiving a 

notice of non-compliance from the SLA 

or being given the opportunity for 

corrective action. On February 15, 2002, 

the SLA rejected complainant’s four 

grievances.
