contractor to perform a VA-approved 

contract with VA are located at the 

respective contractor’s facility. 

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

Title 38, United States Code, Section 

527. 

PURPOSE(S): 

Non-health-related qualitative, 

quantitative, and actuarial analyses and 

projections to support policy analyses 

and recommendations to improve VA 

services for Veterans and their families. 

Analysis and review of policy and longterm planning issues affecting Veterans 

programs support legislative, regulatory 

and policy recommendations, decisions 

and initiatives. These activities are 

conducted for the Secretary, VA 

administrations and staff offices, special 

programs and projects within the 

Department (e.g., special studies, 

advisory committees and task forces 

etc.), and entities external to VA, such 

as the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB), and the United States (U.S.) 

Congress. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM: 

1. Service members and Veterans who 

have applied for any non-health-related 

benefits under 38 U.S.C. 

2. Veterans’ spouse, surviving spouse, 

previous spouse, children, and parents 

who have applied for any non-healthrelated benefit under 38 U.S.C. 

3. Beneficiaries of other Federal 

agencies or other governmental entities. 

4. Individuals who have applied for 

any non-health-related benefits under 

38 U.S.C., but who do not meet the 

requirements under 38 U.S.C. to receive 

such benefits. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

The records may include personal 

identifiers (e.g., social security numbers 

and military service numbers etc.), 

residential and professional contact data 

(e.g., address and telephone numbers 

etc.), population demographics (e.g., 

gender and zip codes etc.), military 

service-related data (e.g., branch of 

service and service dates etc.), financialrelated data (e.g., amount of historic 

benefit payments etc.), interment and 

burial benefit information, claims 

processing codes and information (e.g., 

disability compensation and pension 

award codes etc.), and other VA and 

non-VA Federal information. 

RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES: 

Information from the Office of 

Enterprise Integration is obtained from 

VA’s benefits-related databases, DoD, 

Federal and State agencies, and other 

organizations whose data is necessary to 

accomplish the purpose for this system 

of records. 

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: 

NOTE: To the extent that records 

contained in the system include 

individually-identifiable information 

protected by 38 U.S.C. 7332, that 

information cannot be disclosed under 

any of the following routine uses unless 

there is also specific disclosure 

authority in 38 U.S.C. 7332. 

1. Breach investigation. Upon 

suspicion or confirmation of 

compromised data in its system of 

records, Office of Enterprise Integration 

(OEI) may disclose any system records 

to law enforcement and security 

entities, as necessary, for the 

investigations of any data security, 

identity theft, and fraud issues. 

2. Congress. VA may disclose 

information from the record of an 

individual in response to an inquiry 

from the congressional office made at 

the request of that individual. 

3. NARA & GSA. VA may disclose 

information from this system to the 

National Archives and Records 

Administration (NARA) and General 

Services Administration (GSA) in 

records management inspections 

conducted under title 44, U.S.C. 

4. Litigation. Any information in this 

system may be disclosed to the 

Department of Justice (DOJ), including 

U.S. Attorneys, upon its official request 

in order for VA to respond to pleadings, 

interrogatories, orders or inquiries from 

DOJ, and to supply DOJ with 

information to enable DOJ to represent 

the U.S. Government in any phase of 

litigation or in any case or controversy 

involving VA. 

5. Research. Any system records may 

be disclosed to a Federal agency for the 

conduct of research and data analysis to 

perform a statutory purpose of that 

Federal agency upon the prior written 

request of that agency, provided that 

there is legal authority under all 

applicable confidentiality statutes and 

regulations to provide the data and OEI 

has determined prior to the disclosure 

that OEI data handling requirements are 

satisfied. OEI may disclose limited 

individual identification information to 

another Federal agency for the purpose 

of matching and acquiring information 

held by that organization for OEI to use 

for the purposes stated for this system 

of records. 

6. Contracts and Agreements. VA may 

disclose information from this system of 

records to individuals, organizations, 

private or public agencies, or other 

entities or individuals with whom VA 

has a contract or agreement to perform 

such services as VA may deem 

practicable for the purposes of laws 

administered by VA, in order for the 

contractor, subcontractor, public or 

private agency, or other entity or 

individual with whom VA has a 

contract or agreement to perform 

services under the contract or 

agreement. 

This routine use includes disclosures 

by an individual or entity performing 

services for VA to any secondary entity 

or individual to perform an activity that 

is necessary for individuals, 

organizations, private or public 

agencies, or other entities or individuals 

with whom VA has a contract or 

agreement to provide the service to VA. 

This routine use, which also applies 

to agreements that do not qualify as 

contracts defined by Federal 

procurement laws and regulations, is 

consistent with OMB guidance in OMB 

Circular A–130, App. I, paragraph 

5a(1)(b) that agencies promulgate 

routine uses to address disclosure of 

Privacy Act-protected information to 

contractors in order to perform the 

services contracts for the agency. 

7. OMB. Any system records 

disclosure may be made to the OMB in 

order for them to perform their statutory 

responsibilities for evaluating Federal 

programs. 

8. Outreach. Upon receipt of a written 

request, VA may disclose information to 

any state, tribe, county, or municipal 

agency for the purposes of outreach to 

a benefit under Title 38 Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR). 

9. Data breach response and remedial 

efforts. VA may, on its own initiative, 

disclose information from this system to 

appropriate agencies, entities, and 

persons when (1) VA suspects or has 

confirmed that the integrity or 

confidentiality of information in the 

system of records has been 

compromised; (2) the Department has 

determined that as a result of the 

suspected or confirmed compromise 

there is a risk of embarrassment or harm 

to the reputations of the record subjects, 

harm to economic or property interests, 

identity theft or fraud, or harm to the 

security, confidentiality, or integrity of 

this system or other systems or 

programs (whether maintained by the 

Department or another agency or entity) 

that rely upon the potentially 

compromised information; and (3) the 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 14 / Monday, January 25, 2021 / Notices 6987 

disclosure is to agencies, entities, or 

persons whom VA determines are 

reasonably necessary to assist or carry 

out the Department’s efforts to respond 

to the suspected or confirmed 

compromise and prevent, minimize, or 

remedy such harm. 

This routine use permits disclosures 

by the Department to respond to a 

suspected or confirmed data breach, 

including the conduct of any risk 

analysis or provision of credit 

protection services as provided in 38 

U.S.C. 5724. 

10. Litigation. VA may disclose 

information from this system of records 

to the Department of Justice (DoJ), either 

on VA’s initiative or in response to DoJ’s 

request for the information, after either 

VA or DoJ determines that such 

information is relevant to DoJ’s 

representation of the United States or 

any of its components in legal 

proceedings before a court or 

adjudicative body, provided that, in 

each case, the agency also determines 

prior to disclosure that release of the 

records to the DoJ is a use of the 

information contained in the records 

that is compatible with the purpose for 

which VA collected the records. VA, on 

its own initiative, may disclose records 

in this system of records in legal 

proceedings before a court or 

administrative body after determining 

that the disclosure of the records to the 

court or administrative body is a use of 

the information contained in the records 

that is compatible with the purpose for 

which VA collected the records. 

To determine whether to disclose 

records under this routine use, VA will 

comply with the guidance promulgated 

by the Office of Management and 

Budget in a May 24, 1985, memorandum 

entitled ‘‘Privacy Act Guidance— 

Update,’’ currently posted at http://

www.whitehouse.gov/omb/inforeg/ 

guidance1985.pdf. 

11. Law Enforcement. VA may, on its 

own initiative, disclose information in 

this system, except the names and home 

addresses of veterans and their 

dependents, which is relevant to a 

suspected or reasonably imminent 

violation of law, whether civil, criminal 

or regulatory in nature and whether 

arising by general or program statute or 

by regulation, rule or order issued 

pursuant thereto, to a Federal, state, 

local, tribal, or foreign agency charged 

with the responsibility of investigating 

or prosecuting such violation, or 

charged with enforcing or implementing 

the statute, regulation, rule or order. On 

its own initiative, VA may also disclose 

the names and addresses of veterans and 

their dependents to a Federal agency 

charged with the responsibility of 

investigating or prosecuting civil, 

criminal or regulatory violations of law, 

or charged with enforcing or 

implementing the statute, regulation, 

rule or order issued pursuant thereto. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF

RECORDS: 

OEI’s records are maintained 

electronically. Other electronic data is 

placed on VA’s segregated servers 

which are housed at VA’s Austin 

Information Technology Center, 615 

Woodward St., Austin, TX 78772. All 

imported and exported OEI data is 

handled and housed via the provisions 

of signed data use agreements and VA 

data security policies, procedures, and 

directives. Requestors of OEI stored 

information within VA, or from external 

individuals, contractors, organizations, 

and/or agencies with whom VA has a 

contract or agreement, must provide an 

equivalent level of security protection 

and comply with current VA policies 

and procedures for storage and 

transmission as codified in VA 

directives such as but not limited to VA 

Handbook 6500 and Directive 6513. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVABILITY

OF RECORDS: 

OEI’s records may be retrieved by 

using an individual’s social security 

number, military service number, VA 

claim or file number, non-VA Federal 

benefit identifiers, and other personal 

identifiers. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND

DISPOSAL OF RECORDS: 

In accordance with 36 CFR 1234.34, 

Destruction of Electronic Records, 

‘‘electronic records may be destroyed 

only in accordance with a records 

disposition schedule approved by the 

Archivist of the United States, including 

General Records Schedules.’’ This 

office’s electronic files are destroyed or 

deleted when no longer needed for 

administrative, legal, audit, or other 

operational purposes in accordance 

with records disposition authority 

approved by the Archivist. 

If the Archivist has not approved 

disposition authority for any records 

covered by the system notice, the 

system manager will take immediate 

action to have the disposition of records 

in the system reviewed and paperwork 

initiated to obtain an approved records 

disposition authority in accordance 

with VA Handbook 6300.1, Records 

Management Procedures. The records 

may not be destroyed until VA obtains 

an approved records disposition 

authority. OEI will publish an 

amendment to this notice upon issuance 

of a NARA-approved disposition 

authority. 

PHYSICAL, PROCEDURAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

SAFEGUARDS: 

All VA offices are protected from 

outside access by security personnel 

seven days a week. Entrances and exits 

are monitored by security cameras and 

protected by an alarm system. All VA 

staff and visitors are required to either 

have a VA-issued employment 

identification card or a temporary 

visitor identification badge. All work 

stations are secured during daytime and 

evening hours. 

All data requests must be in writing, 

reviewed by a data review board, 

concurred on by the Executive Director 

for Data Governance and Analysis 

(DG&A) (008B), and released under the 

auspices of a signed data use agreement. 

File extracts provided for specific 

official uses will be limited to contain 

only the information fields needed for 

the analysis. Data used for analyses will 

have individual identifying 

characteristics removed or encrypted 

whenever possible. Unencrypted 

sensitive variables will only be used for 

analysis as a last resort. 

Security complies with applicable 

Federal Information Processing 

Standards (FIPS) issued by the National 

Institute of Standards and Technology 

(NIST). Non-health information files 

containing unique identifiers such as 

social security numbers are encrypted to 

NIST-verified FIPS 140–2 standard or 

higher for storage, transport, or 

transmission. All files stored or 

transmitted on laptops, workstations, 

data storage devices and media are 

encrypted. Files are kept encrypted at 

all times except when data is in 

immediate use, per specifications by VA 

Office of Information and Technology. 

NIST publications were consulted in 

development of security for this system 

of records. 

In the event of a contract or special 

project, VA may secure the services of 

contractors and/or subcontractors. In 

such cases, VA will maximize the use of 

encrypted data, when possible. 

Contractors and their subcontractors are 

required to maintain the same level of 

security as VA staff for non-health care 

information that has been disclosed to 

them. Unless explicitly authorized in 

writing by the VA, sensitive or protected 

data made available to the contractor 

and subcontractors shall not be divulged 

or made known in any manner to any 

person. All VA employees and 

contractors are mandated to complete 

annual cyber security and privacy 

training.

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Veterans 

Affairs (VA) announces its Educational 

and Career Counseling has been 

renamed Personalized Career Planning 

and Guidance (PCPG). The new name 

will enhance stakeholder recognition of 

counseling services provided under 

Chapter 36 and will support more 

effective program outreach and 

communication. 

DATES: The changes were effective 

October 1, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective 

October 1, 2020, VA changed the name 

of its Chapter 36 benefit provided under 

38 U.S.C. 3697A from Educational and 

Career Counseling to PCPG. PCPG 

provides Service members, Veterans and 

eligible dependents with enhanced 

career counseling, assessments, 

education planning and guidance 

resources that are unique to the needs 

of each participant to set and achieve 

personal, career and education goals. 

To enhance program awareness and 

utilization of counseling services 

provided under Chapter 36, the 

Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) 

conducted human-centered design 

(HCD) research with Veterans and 

Service members to better understand 

their career and education needs and 

preferences related to the benefit. 

Through the HCD research, VBA 

identified program strengths, 

weaknesses, pain points and 

opportunities to better serve our eligible 

beneficiaries and better align Chapter 36 

benefits with their values and 

ambitions. 

The new name clarifies the type of 

benefits the program offers for eligible 

participants by emphasizing the right 

career and education counseling 

themes. This name change also is an 

important part of VBA’s wider effort to 

support a more successful military-tocivilian transition. For more information
