SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Introduction 

The Privacy Act of 1974 (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 of 1974 are contained in 

the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 

in 34 CFR part 5b. 

The Privacy Act of 1974 (Privacy Act), 

5 U.S.C. 552a, applies to a record about 

an individual that 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-driven, is called a ‘‘system of 

records.’’ The Privacy Act requires each 

agency to publish notices of systems of 

records in the Federal Register and to 

prepare reports to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

whenever the agency publishes a new or 

‘‘altered’’ system of records.

For reasons discussed in the 

preamble, the Chief Operating Officer of 

Federal Student Aid (FSA) of the U.S. 

Department of Education publishes a 

notice of a new system of records to 

read as follows: 

18–11–14 

SYSTEM NAME: 

FSA Students Portal. 

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: 

None. 

SYSTEM LOCATION(S): 

(1) Virtual Data Center (VDC) 

(operated by CSC, Inc.), Meriden Data 

Center, 71 Deerfield Lane, Meriden, CT 

06450. 

(2) Students Portal Database (operated 

by XAP Corp.) 3534 Hayden Ave., 

Culver City, CA 90232. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE 

SYSTEM: 

Any user with Internet accessibility 

that is interested in exploring financial 

aid information and chooses to 

personalize the ‘‘Students Portal’’ an 

Internet Portal web site (hereafter ‘‘the 

Web site’’). The personalization 

functionality is referred to as ‘‘My FSA’’ 

(http://www.studentaid.ed.gov). 

23114 Federal Register / Vol. 68, No. 83 / Wednesday, April 30, 2003 / Notices 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

Records will include the information 

listed below. It is optional for the user 

to enter this information. This list is not 

all-inclusive, but it is a sample of the 

types of information that may be entered 

by the user. (See Appendix at the end 

of the Notice for a listing of the types 

of records collected). Some of the 

information requested in the Web site 

includes such information as: User’s 

name; User’s address(es); User’s e-mail; 

User’s personal information, such as 

social security number, date of birth, 

marital status, and telephone number; 

User’s high school information such as 

current grade level, courses taken, 

grades, and activities; User’s 

educational information, such as 

educational level, degree, etc.; User’s 

interests such as job interests, values, 

and college preferences; Scores from 

User’s standardized tests such as SAT or 

ACT; Parent’s information such as 

address and veteran status; Spouse’s 

information such as name and address; 

User’s employment/work history; and 

User’s bookmarks (URL’s) Students will 

have the option of choosing the data to 

enter into the text fields. The Web site 

also includes a short survey where 

information about user experiences and 

opinions of the FSA Students Portal is 

stored for future Web site enhancement. 

While the surveys are not intended to be 

able to identify a particular user, some 

users may choose to include personally 

identifiable information in some text 

fields. (For instance if they have a 

question that requires a response.) 

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

Title IV of the Higher Education Act 

of 1965, as amended, 40 U.S.C. 1425 (b), 

and 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35. 

PURPOSE(S): 

The primary reason for storing the 

records of users of the Web site is to 

provide them with better service. The 

information stored by the Web site will 

be used for the following reasons: 

• To allow the Web site to provide 

information relevant and targeted to the 

user (information about schools, loans, 

organizations, etc.) 

• To assist with filling out 

applications to colleges and universities 

(i.e., enter the information only once) 

• To ‘‘prepopulate’’ the electronic 

Free Application for Federal Student 

Aid (FAFSA) 

• To store personal information so 

that it can be retrieved later without 

having to start over (such as schools, 

programs, majors, loan information of 

interest to a specific user) 

• Some fields are used to help 

indicate which of the records are active 

(such as last modified date) 

• Some fields are used for security 

reasons (e.g. User ID, password, and 

password expiration). 

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE 

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND 

THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: 

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. 

(1) Freedom of Information Act 

(FOIA) Advice Disclosure. The 

Department may disclose records to the 

Department of Justice (DOJ) and the 

Office of Management and Budget if the 

Department seeks advice regarding 

whether records maintained in the 

system of records are required to be 

released under the FOIA and the 

Privacy Act of 1974. 

(2) Disclosure to the DOJ. The 

Department may disclose records to the 

DOJ to the extent necessary for 

obtaining DOJ advice on any matter 

relevant to an audit, inspection, or other 

inquiry related to the programs covered 

by this system. 

(3) Contract Disclosure. If the 

Department contracts with an entity for 

the purposes of performing any function 

that requires disclosure of records in 

this system to employees of the 

contractor, 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. 

(4) Litigation and Alternative Dispute 

Resolution (ADR) Disclosures. 

(a) Introduction. In the event that one 

of the following parties 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; or 

(ii) Any Department employee in his 

or her official capacity; or 

(iii) Any Department employee in his 

or her official capacity where the 

Department of Justice (DOJ) is requested 

to provide or arrange for representation 

of the employee; 

(iv) Any Department employee in his 

or her individual capacity where the 

Department has agreed to represent the 

employee; or 

(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 the Department of 

Justice (DOJ). If the Department 

determines that disclosure of certain 

records to the DOJ, or attorneys engaged 

by DOJ, is relevant and necessary to 

litigation or ADR, and is compatible 

with the purpose for which the records 

were collected, the Department may 

disclose those records as a routine use 

to the DOJ. 

(c) Adjudicative disclosures. If the 

Department determines that disclosure 

of certain records to an adjudicative 

body before which the Department is 

authorized to appear, an individual or 

entity designated by the Department or 

otherwise empowered to resolve or 

mediate disputes is relevant and 

necessary to the litigation or ADR, the 

Department may disclose those records 

as a routine use to the adjudicative 

body, individual, or entity. 

(d) Parties, counsels, representatives 

and 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) Research Disclosure. The 

Department may disclose records to a 

researcher if an appropriate official of 

the Department determines that the 

individual or organization to which the 

disclosure would be made is qualified to 

carry out specific research related to 

functions or purposes of this system of 

records. The official may disclose 

records from this system of records to 

that researcher solely for the purpose of 

carrying out that research related to the 

functions or purposes of this system of 

records. The researcher shall be 

required to maintain Privacy Act 

safeguards with respect to the disclosed 

records. 

(6) Congressional Member Disclosure. 

The Department may disclose records to 

a member of Congress from the record 

of an individual 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 it. 

Federal Register / Vol. 68, No. 83 / Wednesday, April 30, 2003 / Notices 23115 

(7) Disclosure for Use By Law 

Enforcement Agencies. The Department 

may disclose information to any 

Federal, State, local or other agencies 

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 entity’s 

jurisdiction. 

(8) 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 statute, regulation, or order 

of a competent authority, the 

Department may disclose the relevant 

records to the appropriate agency, 

whether foreign, Federal, State, Tribal,

records, or to another public authority 

or professional organization, if 

necessary to obtain information relevant 

to a decision concerning the hiring or 

retention of an employee or other 

personnel action, the issuance of a 

security clearance, the letting of a 

contract, or the issuance of a license, 

grant, or other benefit. 

(b) For Decisions by Other Public 

Agencies and Professional 

Organizations. The Department may 

disclose a record to a Federal, State, 

local, or foreign agency or other public 

authority or professional organization, 

in connection with the hiring or 

retention of an employee or other 

personnel action, the issuance of a 

security clearance, the reporting of an 

investigation of an employee, the letting 

of a contract, or the issuance of a 

license, grant, or other benefit, to the 

extent that the record is relevant and 

necessary to the receiving entity’s 

decision on the matter. 

(10) Employee Grievance, Complaint 

or Conduct Disclosure. The Department 

may disclose a record in this system of 

records to another agency of the Federal 

Government if the record is relevant to 

one of the following proceedings 

regarding a present or former employee 

of the Department: complaint, 

grievance, discipline or competence 

determination proceedings. The 

disclosure may only be made during the 

course of the proceeding. 

(11) Labor Organization Disclosure. 

The Department may disclose records 

from this system of records to an 

arbitrator to resolve disputes under a 

negotiated grievance procedure or to 

officials of labor organizations 

recognized under 5 U.S.C. chapter 71 

when relevant and necessary to their 

duties of exclusive representation. 

(12) Disclosure to Providers of Webbased Postsecondary Education 

Admissions Applications. The 

Department may disclose records in this 

system of records to providers of Webbased postsecondary educational 

institution admissions applications so 

that users of the Web site may ‘‘prepopulate’’ their college or university 

admissions applications with their own 

registration information that was 

previously saved on the Web site. (See 

Appendix at the end of the Notice 

where registration information is 

identified as ‘‘Data Collected in 

Students Portal Modules’’). 

DISCLOSURES TO CONSUMER REPORTING 

AGENCIES: 

Not applicable to this system of 

records. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, 

RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND 

DISCLOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

STORAGE: 

A majority of the Student data will be 

stored in a database (SQL Server 2000) 

maintained at XAP Corp. The student 

data is also stored in an Oracle database 

at the Virtual Data Center (VDC). Each 

location includes safeguards, including 

physical security of the server room, 

firewalls, etc. 

RETRIEVABILITY: 

Each record in this system is indexed 

and retrieved by a user name and 

password that is created by the user of 

the http://www.studentaid.ed.gov Web 

site. 

SAFEGUARDS: 

All users of this system will have a 

unique user ID with a personal 

identifier. 

This system does not use persistent 

cookies (data that a web server causes to 

be placed on a user’s hard drive) to 

implement personalization. It is the 

policy of the Department to prohibit the 

use of persistent cookies on U.S. 

Department of Education web sites 

except where: there is a compelling 

need; there are appropriate safeguards 

in place; the use is personally approved 

by the Secretary of Education; and there 

is clear and conspicuous notice to the 

public. 

All physical access to the U.S. 

Department of Education web site and 

the sites of Department contractors 

where this system of records is 

maintained, is controlled and monitored 

by security personnel who check each 

individual entering the building for his 

or her employee or visitor badge. 

The computer system employed by 

the U.S. Department of Education offers 

a high degree of resistance to tampering 

and circumvention. This security 

system limits data access to the 

Department, and contract staff on a 

‘‘need to know’’ basis, and controls 

individual users’ ability to access and 

alter records within the system. 

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: 

FSA Students Portal customers can 

remove any information about their web 

preferences (i.e., the subjects, levels of 

education, types of resources, and 

audience-targeted materials in which 

they are interested), as well as any 

bookmarks or saved searches they have 

stored on the Department’s web pages. 

U.S. Department of Education 

customers, however, cannot delete their 

names, zip codes, or e-mail addresses 

from the system (although they can 

replace it with other information). The 

system, however, automatically will 

purge any unused accounts after a 

certain period of disuse. National 

Archives and Records Administration 

General Records Schedule 20, Item 1.c 

provides disposal authorization for 

electronic files and hard-copy printouts 

created to monitor system usage, 

including, but not limited to, log-in 

files, password files, audit trail files, 

system usage files, and cost-back files 

used to assess charges for system use. 

Records will be deleted or destroyed 

when the agency determines they are no 

longer needed for administrative, legal, 

audit, or other operational purposes. 

SYSTEM MANAGERS AND ADDRESS:

Implementing Procedures, 10 CFR part 

1021. 

The Draft EA Addendum evaluates 

the potential environmental impacts 

associated with transportation of waste 

to disposal facilities at various locations 

throughout the United States. The Draft 

EA Addendum also evaluates the 

potential environmental impacts 

associated with the no action alternative 

and enhanced on-site storage 

alternative. 

The public is invited to comment on 

the Draft EA Addendum during the 

public comment period. All comments 

received will be considered in 

preparation of the final EA Addendum. 

Late comments will be considered to the

Site Office, Attn: Mr. Gary Bodenstein, 

PO Box 1410, Paducah, KY 42001, by

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

general information on the DOE NEPA 

process, please contact: Ms. Carol M. 

Borgstrom, Director, Office of NEPA 

Policy and Compliance (EH–42), U.S. 

Department of Energy, 1000 

Independence Avenue, SW., 

Washington, DC 20585, telephone 202– 

586–4600, or leave a message at 1–800– 

472–2756. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The EA 

Addendum is tiered from the recently 

completed Environmental Assessment 

for Waste Disposition Activities at the 

Paducah Site, Paducah Kentucky, DOE/ 

EA–1339. The Draft EA Addendum 

evaluates DOE’s proposed disposition 

activities for legacy and futuregenerated low-level waste from the 

Paducah Site in Paducah, Kentucky. 

The EA Addendum is needed because 

DOE has identified 17,600 m3 of 

additional low-level waste currently 

stored at the Paducah Site that needs to 

be dispositioned. The additional waste 

would be transported to various 

disposal locations throughout the 

United States by truck, rail, or intermodal shipment. Off-site treatment and 

disposal locations for waste disposition 

include facilities in Nevada, Utah, 

Texas, Washington, Idaho, New Mexico, 

and Tennessee. The Draft EA 

Addendum also evaluates the no action 

alternative. Under this alternative, DOE 

would not perform disposition activities 

except for those needed for standard 

waste management and maintenance. 

No disposal of the existing and 

projected quantities of waste would 

occur. DOE would continue to store 

such waste. Ongoing nonComprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act waste management operations 

would continue. The Draft EA 

Addendum also evaluates the 

alternative of enhanced on-site storage 

of the waste.

NEPA Compliance Officer.
