SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Introduction 

The Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4)) 

requires the Department to publish in 

the Federal Register this notice of a new 

system of records maintained by the 

Department. The Department’s 

regulations implementing the Privacy 

Act are contained in the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) in part 5b of title 34. 

The Privacy Act applies to a record 

about an individual that is maintained 

in a system of records from which 

individually identifying information is 

retrieved by a unique identifier 

associated with each individual, such as 

a name or Social Security number. The 

information about each individual is 

called a ‘‘record,’’ and the system, 

whether manual or computer-based, is 

called a ‘‘system of records.’’ 

The Privacy Act requires each agency 

to publish a system of records notice in 

the Federal Register and to submit, 

whenever the agency publishes a new 

system of records or makes a significant 

change to an established system of 

records, a report to the Administrator of 

the Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs, OMB. Each agency is also 

required to send copies of the report to 

the Chair of the Committee on Oversight 

and Government Reform of the House of 

Representatives, and to the Chair of the 

Committee on Homeland Security and 

Governmental Affairs of the Senate.

Lawrence A. Warder, 

Acting Chief Operating Officer, Federal 

Student Aid. 

For the reasons discussed in the 

preamble, the Acting Chief Operating 

Officer, Federal Student Aid, U.S. 

Department of Education publishes a 

notice of a new system of records, to 

read as follows: 

SYSTEM NUMBER: 

18–11–18. 

SYSTEM NAME: 

Electronic Cohort Default Rate 

Appeals (eCDR Appeals). 

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: 

None. 

SYSTEM LOCATIONS: 

(1) Default Prevention and 

Management, Portfolio Performance 

Management Staff, Federal Student Aid, 

U.S. Department of Education, Union 

Center Plaza, 830 First Street, NE., room 

84B2, Washington, DC 20202–5353. 

(2) Perot Systems, 2300 W. Plano 

Parkway, Plano, TX 75075. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE 

SYSTEM: 

The eCDR Appeals system contains 

records on borrowers who have received 

loans under the William D. Ford Federal 

Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program and 

the Federal Family Education Loan 

(FFEL) Program. Although the eCDR 

Appeals system contains information 

about institutions associated with 

individuals, this system of records 

notice pertains only to individuals 

protected under the Privacy Act of 1974, 

as amended. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

The eCDR Appeals system contains 

records regarding: (1) Student/borrower 

identifier information including Social 

Security number and name; (2) loan 

information (e.g., last date of 

attendance, date entered repayment, 

default date) for each student/borrower 

loan counted in the cohort default rate 

of the institution of higher education 

submitting the cohort default rate 

challenge or adjustment request; and (3) 

documentation submitted by an 

institution of higher education or data 

manager to support its data allegation 

(e.g., enrollment verification, copies of 

cancelled checks, etc.). 

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

20 U.S.C. 1082, 1085, 1094, 1099c. 

PURPOSE(S): 

The information contained in the 

records maintained in this system is 

used for the following purposes: 

(1) To allow institutions of higher 

education to electronically challenge 

their draft cohort default rate data, and 

electronically request an adjustment to 

their official cohort default rate data via 

an uncorrected data adjustment or new 

data adjustment request; 

(2) To allow data managers to 

electronically view and respond to 

cohort default rate challenges and 

adjustment requests from institutions of 

higher education. Note: Data managers 

are determined on the basis of the 

holder of the loan. For FFEL Program 

loans held by the lender or its guaranty 

agency, the guaranty agency is the data 

manager for the purpose of the appeal. 

If the Department is the holder of the 

FFEL Program loan, then the 

Department is the data manager. For 

Direct Loans, the Direct Loan servicer is 

the data manager; and 

(3) To allow Federal Student Aid to 

electronically view and respond to 

cohort default rate challenges and 

adjustment requests from institutions of 

higher education. 

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE 

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND 

THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: 

The Department may disclose 

information contained in a record 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. The Department may make 

these disclosures on a case-by-case 

basis, or, if the Department has 

complied with the computer matching 

requirements of the Computer Matching 

and Privacy Protection Act of 1988, as 

amended, under a computer matching 

agreement. 

(1) Program Disclosures. The 

Department may disclose records to the 

institution of higher education or data 

manager responsible for entering the 

loan information into the eCDR appeals 

system, in order to obtain clarification 

or additional information to assist in 

determining the outcome of the 

allegation. 

(2) Disclosure for Use by Other Law 

Enforcement Agencies. The Department 

may disclose information to any 

Federal, State, local, or foreign agency, 

or other public authority responsible for 

enforcing, investigating, or prosecuting 

violations of administrative, civil, or 

criminal law or regulation if that 

information is relevant to any 

enforcement, regulatory, investigative, 

or prosecutorial responsibility within 

the receiving entity’s jurisdiction. 

(3) Enforcement Disclosure. In the 

event that information in this system of 

records indicates, either on its face or in 

connection with other information, a 

violation or potential violation of any 

applicable statutory, regulatory, or 

legally binding requirement, the 

Department may disclose the relevant 

pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES

176 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 1 / Wednesday, January 2, 2008 / Notices 

records to the appropriate agency, 

whether foreign, Federal, State, Tribal, 

or local, charged with the responsibility 

of investigating or prosecuting that 

violation or charged with enforcing or 

implementing the statute, Executive 

order, rule, regulation, or order issued 

pursuant thereto. 

(4) Litigation and Alternative Dispute 

Resolution (ADR) Disclosure. 

(a) Introduction. In the event that one 

of the parties listed below is involved in 

litigation or ADR, or has an interest in 

litigation or ADR, the Department may 

disclose certain records to the parties 

described in paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) 

of this routine use under the conditions 

specified in those paragraphs: 

(i) The Department or any of its 

components. 

(ii) Any Department employee in his 

or her official capacity. 

(iii) Any Department employee in his 

or her individual capacity if the U.S. 

Department of Justice (DOJ) has been 

requested to or has agreed to provide or 

arrange for representation for the 

employee. 

(iv) Any Department employee in his 

or her individual capacity where the 

Department has agreed to represent the 

employee. 

(v) The United States where the 

Department determines that the 

litigation is likely to affect the 

Department or any of its components. 

(b) Disclosure to DOJ. If the 

Department determines that disclosure 

of certain records to DOJ is relevant and 

necessary to litigation or ADR, the 

Department may disclose those records 

as a routine use to DOJ. 

(c) Adjudicative Disclosure. If the 

Department determines that it is 

relevant and necessary to the litigation 

or ADR to disclose certain records to an 

adjudicative body before which the 

Department is authorized to appear, to 

an individual, or to an entity designated 

by the Department or otherwise 

empowered to resolve or mediate 

disputes, the Department may disclose 

those records as a routine use to the 

adjudicative body, individual, or entity. 

(d) Disclosure to Parties, Counsel, 

Representatives, or Witnesses. If the 

Department determines that disclosure 

of certain records to a party, counsel, 

representative, or witness is relevant 

and necessary to the litigation or ADR, 

the Department may disclose those 

records as a routine use to the party, 

counsel, representative, or witness. 

(5) Freedom of Information Act 

(FOIA) and Privacy Act Advice 

Disclosure. The Department may 

disclose records to DOJ or the OMB if 

the Department concludes that 

disclosure would help in determining 

whether particular records are required 

to be disclosed under the FOIA or the 

Privacy Act. 

(6) Contract Disclosure. If the 

Department contracts with an entity to 

perform any function that requires 

disclosing records to the contractor’s 

employees, the Department may 

disclose the records to those employees. 

Before entering into such a contract, the 

Department shall require the contractor 

to maintain Privacy Act safeguards as 

required under 5 U.S.C. 552a(m) with 

respect to the records in the system. 

(7) Congressional Member Disclosure. 

The Department may disclose the 

records of an individual to a member of 

Congress or the member’s staff in 

response to an inquiry from the member 

made at the written request of that 

individual. The member’s right to the 

information is no greater than the right 

of the individual who requested the 

inquiry. 

(8) Disclosure in the Course of 

Responding to Breach of Data. The 

Department may disclose records to 

appropriate agencies, entities, and 

persons when (1) it is suspected or 

confirmed that the security or 

confidentiality of information in the 

eCDR Appeals system has been 

compromised; (2) the Department has 

determined that as a result of the 

suspected or confirmed compromise, 

there is a risk of harm to economic or 

property interests, identity theft or 

fraud, or harm to the security or 

integrity of the eCDR Appeals system or 

other systems or programs (whether 

maintained by the Department or by 

another agency or entity) that rely upon 

the compromised information; and (3) 

the disclosure is made to such agencies, 

entities, and persons who are reasonably 

necessary to assist the Department in 

responding to the suspected or 

confirmed compromise and in helping 

the Department prevent, minimize, or 

remedy such harm. 

DISCLOSURE TO CONSUMER REPORTING 

AGENCIES: NONE. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, 

RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND 

DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

STORAGE: 

Records are maintained in a database 

on the Department’s secure servers and 

in other electronic storage media. 

RETRIEVABILITY: 

Records are retrieved by a unique 

institution of higher education code 

number provided by the Department to 

participating institutions and the 

borrower’s Social Security number. 

SAFEGUARDS: 

Access to the records is limited to 

authorized personnel only. All physical 

access to the Department’s site and to 

the site of the Department’s contractor 

where this system of records is 

maintained, is controlled and monitored 

by security personnel who check each 

individual entering the buildings for his 

or her employee or visitor badge. 

The computer system employed by 

the Department and by the Department’s 

contractors offers a high degree of 

resistance to tampering and 

circumvention. This security system 

limits data access to Department and 

contract staff on a ‘‘need to know’’ basis, 

and controls an individual user’s ability 

to access and alter records within the 

system. All users of this system of 

records are given a unique user 

identification. The Department’s Federal 

Student Aid Information Security 

Privacy Policy requires the enforcement 

of a complex password policy. In 

addition, users are required to change 

their password at least every 60 to 90 

days in accordance with the 

Department’s information technology 

standards. At the principal site of the 

Department’s contractor in Plano, Texas, 

additional physical security measures 

are in place and access is monitored 24 

hours per day, 7 days a week. 

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: 

The records associated with an 

institution of higher education’s cohort 

default rate challenge or adjustment 

request are currently unscheduled 

pending National Archives and Records 

Administration (NARA) approval of a 

records retention schedule. Until a 

NARA-approved records schedule is in 

effect, no records will be destroyed.

Department of Education (Department) 

publishes this notice of a new system of 

records entitled the ‘‘Financial 

Management System (FMS)’’ (18–11– 

17). 

FMS interfaces with other Federal 

Student Aid systems and consolidates 

and centralizes all Federal Student Aid 

accounting and financial data into one 

system. FMS is a conduit (pass-through 

system) containing personally 

identifiable information that is obtained 

from other Federal Student Aid systems. 

FMS has been in operation since 

October 2001. However, because FMS 

maintains Privacy Act records and 

discloses these records to the United 

States Department of the Treasury and 

to loan holders, a management decision 

was made to treat FMS as an official 

system of records under the Privacy Act. 

DATES: The Department seeks comment 

on the new system of records described 

in this notice, in accordance with the 

requirements of the Privacy Act. We 

must receive your comments on or

describing the new system of records 

covered by this notice with the Chair of 

the Senate Committee on Homeland 

Security and Governmental Affairs, the 

Chair of the House Committee on 

Oversight and Government Reform, and 

the Administrator of the Office of
