employees and contractors who have a 

need for the information when 

performing their official duties. Security 

measures include the use of access 

codes (personal identification number 

(PIN) and password) to enter our 

computer systems that house the data. 

We annually provide all our 

employees and contractors with security 

awareness and training. This includes 

the need to protect PII and the criminal 

penalties that apply to an unauthorized 

access to, or disclosure of, PII. 

Employees and contractors with access 

to databases maintaining PII must also 

sign a sanction document annually, 

acknowledging their accountability for 

inappropriately accessing or disclosing 

such information. 

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: 

We maintain records in SSA 

headquarters within the Office of Open 

Government. We will maintain records 

in this system of records until seven 

years after the notification of the death 

of the account holder. After that time, 

we will delete the person’s records from 

the database. 

SYSTEM MANAGER(S) AND ADDRESS: 

Office of the Chief Information 

Officer, Office of Open Government, 

Social Security Administration, 6401 

Security Boulevard, Baltimore, MD 

21235. 

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES: 

Persons can determine if this system 

contains a record about them by writing 

to the system manager at the above 

address and providing their name, SSN, 

or other information in this system of 

records that will identify them. Persons 

requesting notification by mail must 

include a notarized statement to us to 

verify their identity or must certify in 

the request that they are the person they 

claim to be and that they understand 

that the knowing and willful request for, 

or acquisition of, a record pertaining to 

another person under false pretenses is 

a criminal offense. 

Persons requesting notification of 

records in person must provide the 

same information, as well as provide an 

identity document, preferably with a 

photograph, such as a driver’s license. 

Persons lacking identification 

documents sufficient to establish their 

identity must certify in writing that they 

are the person they claim to be and that 

they understand that the knowing and 

willful request for, or acquisition of, a 

record pertaining to another person 

under false pretenses is a criminal 

offense. 

Persons requesting notification by 

telephone must verify their identity by 

providing identifying information that 

parallels the information in the record 

about which they are requesting 

notification. If we determine that the 

identifying information the person 

provides by telephone is insufficient, 

we will require the person to submit a 

request in writing or in person. If a 

person requests information by 

telephone on behalf of another person, 

the subject person must be on the 

telephone with the requesting person 

and us in the same phone call. We will 

establish the subject person’s identity 

(his or her name, SSN, address, date of 

birth, and place of birth, along with one 

other piece of information such as 

mother’s maiden name) and ask for his 

or her consent to provide information to 

the requesting person. These procedures 

are in accordance with our regulations 

at 20 CFR 401.40 and 401.45. 

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES: 

Same as notification procedures. 

Persons also should reasonably specify 

the record contents they are seeking. 

These procedures are in accordance 

with our regulations (20 CFR 401.40(c)). 

CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES: 

Same as notification procedures. 

Persons also should reasonably identify 

the record, specify the information they 

are contesting, and state the corrective 

action sought and the reasons for the 

correction with supporting justification 

showing how the record is incomplete, 

untimely, inaccurate, or irrelevant. 

These procedures are in accordance 

with our regulations (20 CFR 401.65(a)). 

RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES: 

We obtain information in this system 

of records primarily from the person to 

whom the record pertains. We may also 

include information from electronic W– 

2 and electronic Schedule SE forms for 

members of the public. 

SYSTEM EXEMPTED FROM CERTAIN PROVISIONS

OF THE PRIVACY ACT: 

None.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kira 

M. Alvarez, Chief Negotiator and 

Deputy Assistant U.S. Trade 

Representative for Intellectual Property 

Enforcement, Office of the United States

1. Supplementary Information 

USTR, working with a group of 

trading partners, has concluded 

negotiations on a proposed agreement to 

strengthen international cooperation, 

enforcement practices and legal 

frameworks for addressing 

counterfeiting and piracy. USTR is 

requesting written comments from the 

public on the final text of the AntiCounterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) 

in connection with consideration of U.S. 

signature of the agreement. 

Participants in the negotiations 

included: Australia, Canada, the 

European Union (EU) represented by the 

European Commission and the EU 

Presidency (Belgium) and the EU 

Member States, Japan, Korea, Mexico, 

Morocco, New Zealand, Singapore, 

Switzerland and the United States. 

Consistent with the Administration’s 

strategy for intellectual property 

enforcement, ACTA would be the 

highest-standard plurilateral agreement 

yet achieved concerning the 

enforcement of intellectual property 

rights, and would establish an 

international model for effectively 

combating the global proliferation of 

commercial-scale counterfeiting and 

piracy. In addition to requirements 

concerning legal frameworks for 

intellectual property enforcement, the 

proposed agreement also includes 

innovative provisions to deepen 

international cooperation and to 

promote strong enforcement practices. 

Together these provisions will help to 

protect American jobs in innovative and 

creative industries against intellectual 

property theft. 

2. Text and Summary Information

together with summaries and related 

information, can be found at http://
