DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND 

HUMAN SERVICES 

Office of Research Integrity; Privacy 

Act of 1974; Report of an Altered 

System of Records 

AGENCY: Office of Research Integrity 

(ORI), Office of Public Health and 

Science (OPHS), Office of the Secretary 

(OS), Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS). 

ACTION: Notice of revision to the Privacy 

Act system of records. 

SUMMARY: HHS proposes to revise the 

Privacy Act exempt system of records 

09–37–0021, entitled ‘‘Public Health 

Service Records Related to Inquiries and 

Investigations of Scientific Misconduct, 

HHS/OASH/ORI.’’ This system became 

effective on August 29, 1994 (59 FR 

36717, July 19, 1994). Changes were 

made in response to comments received, 

and the revised systems notice was 

published on January 6, 1995 (60 FR 

2140). The proposed revisions include 

changing the routine uses and changing 

the title of the system to ‘‘HHS Records 

Related to Research Misconduct 

Proceedings, HHS/OS/ORI.’’ The 

revisions are necessary to reflect the 

changes made by the Public Health 

Service Policies on Research 

Misconduct (‘‘PHS Policies on Research 

Misconduct’’), 42 CFR Part 93 (‘‘Part 

93’’), and to update the system to reflect 

current practices and procedures under 

that regulation. 

DATES: This notice will be effective 

without further notice on September 30, 

2009 unless modified by a subsequent 

notice making changes in response to 

public comments. Although the Privacy 

Act requires only that changes in the 

routine uses be published for comment, 

HHS invites comments on all parts of 

the systems notice. You may submit 

comments by electronic mail to 

AskORI@hhs.gov. Comments must be 

received on or before September 30, 

2009. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Director, Division of Investigative 

Oversight, Office of Research Integrity,

Rockville, MD 20852. (240) 453–8800. 

E-mail: AskORI@hhs.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: After 

making changes in response to public 

comments, ORI published its current 

systems notice entitled ‘‘Public Health 

Service Records Related to Inquiries and 

Investigations of Scientific Misconduct, 

HHS/OASH/ORI’’ on January 6, 1995 

(60 FR 2140). Since that time, the 

organizational location of ORI has 

changed from the former Office of the 

Assistant Secretary for Health to OPHS, 

and a new HHS regulation concerning 

research misconduct was promulgated 

and codified at 42 CFR Part 93. That 

regulation substantially changed the 

previous regulation on scientific 

misconduct (42 CFR Part 50, Subpart A), 

including changing the term 

‘‘misconduct in science’’ to ‘‘research 

misconduct.’’ 

This revision updates the ORI system 

notice to be consistent with the 

definitions and procedures promulgated 

by the PHS Policies on Research 

Misconduct. The description of the 

categories of individuals covered by the 

records system and categories of records 

in the system have been amended to 

reflect the changes made by Part 93, 

specifically, the applicability of that 

part in terms of the individuals, types of 

research, and types of PHS support that 

are covered. Pertinent provisions of Part 

93 are referenced to explain the records 

system coverage. The category of 

individuals covered by the system 

remains the same: individuals who are 

the subject of allegations of research 

misconduct. Similarly, the categories of 

records in the system remain essentially 

the same: records related to all stages of 

the research misconduct proceeding. 

The location of the system is now 

limited to the premises of ORI and the 

Federal Records Centers (for inactive 

records). PHS officials outside of ORI 

who are involved in extramural and 

intramural research misconduct 

proceedings have access to this system 

of records as necessary to carry out their 

duties. 

We have amended the statement of 

purposes to state more generally that 

ORI will use the system of records to 

exercise its oversight authority relating 

to research misconduct proceedings, 

and to document these activities. 

The order of the routine uses has been 

changed, and the terminology used has 

been updated to reflect the terms used 

in Part 93. The listing of routine uses 

begins with disclosures that may be 

made in the course of a research 

misconduct proceeding in roughly the 

order that they might occur, and ends 

with disclosures that may be necessary 

for more general administrative 

purposes. 

Routine use 1 is an expanded version 

of routine uses 2 and 5 in the current 

system notice. It now provides for 

disclosure to a person able to ‘‘obtain’’ 

information, as well as provide 

information or assistance, in a research 

misconduct proceeding or related 

proceeding, ORI oversight of an 

institutional research misconduct 

proceeding or ORI oversight of the 

implementation of HHS administrative 

actions. The reference to ORI oversight 

functions has also been added. We have 

also added a condition for each 

disclosure under this routine use. Prior 

to disclosure, ORI will determine 

whether limited disclosures or 

confidentiality agreements are needed to 

protect the privacy of respondent(s), 

complainant(s), witnesses, research 

subjects or others who may be identified 

in the records to be disclosed. 

Routine use 2 is new. It is based on 

42 CFR 93.401 that, in part, authorizes 

ORI to notify and consult with other 

Federal, State, or local offices, if ORI has 

reason to believe that a research 

misconduct proceeding may involve 

that office. The second routine use in 

the current system notice, relating to 

disclosures to qualified experts, has 

been deleted because that disclosure is 

now covered by the more general 

disclosure in the new routine uses 1 and 

9. 

Except for editorial changes, routine 

use 3 is the same as use 8 in the current 

system notice and routine use 4 is the 

same as use 3 in the current notice. 

Routine use 5 is new. It permits 

additional disclosures after a final HHS/ 

ORI finding of research misconduct that 

are aimed at conserving public funds, 


cprice-sewell on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES
44848 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 167 / Monday, August 31, 2009 / Notices 

protecting Federal records, and 

otherwise protecting the interests of the 

Federal Government. 

Routine use 6 is an amended version 

of use 10 in the current notice. We have 

moved ‘‘after * * * a final HHS/ORI 

finding of research misconduct’’ to the 

front, deleted the reference to remedial 

actions, and minimally expanded the 

list of those to whom disclosures may be 

made. 

Routine use 7 is an amended version 

of use 6 in the current notice. We have 

moved the reference to an HHS/ORI 

finding of research misconduct to the 

front, added ‘‘final’’ to it, deleted the 

reference to the imposition of remedial 

actions, and added ‘‘other similar 

entity.’’ Use 7 in the current notice, 

disclosures to IRBs, research sponsoring 

institutions, research subjects, and the 

public has been deleted, because these 

types of disclosures would now 

normally be made by the institutions 

and, in any case, these types of 

disclosures would be covered by the 

more general disclosure covered by new 

routine uses 2 and 3. 

Routine use 8 is an amended version 

of routine use 11 in the current notice. 

We have added a reference to 

suspension actions and a reference to 

the General Services Administration’s 

(GSA’s) Excluded Parties List System. 

Routine use 9 is essentially the same 

as routine use 9 in the current notice. It 

permits disclosures to volunteers and 

contractors engaged by ORI in support 

of its research misconduct oversight 

functions, if they need access to the 

records to perform their assigned tasks 

for the agency; provided, however, that 

in each case ORI determines whether 

limited disclosures or confidentiality 

agreements are needed to protect the 

privacy of respondent(s), 

complainant(s), witnesses, research 

subjects or others who may be identified 

in the records to be disclosed. Routine 

use 10 is authorized by 42 CFR 

93.410(a) to permit disclosure in cases 

that do not result in an ORI finding of 

research misconduct and that ORI 

decides to close. 

Routine uses 11 and 12 are derived 

from use 1 in the current notice. That 

previous use addressed both disclosures 

to the Department of Justice (DOJ) and 

to courts or other tribunals. Routine use 

11 addresses disclosures to the DOJ and 

routine use 12 addresses disclosure to 

courts or other tribunals. In addition, 

the language has been clarified. 

The description of record source 

categories has been revised to describe 

more accurately the many sources from 

which the records are received or 

obtained. Other changes to improve 

accuracy, update information, terms, 

and citations, and clarify language have 

been made throughout the systems 

notice. 

This record system remains exempt 

from certain requirements of the Privacy 

Act in accordance with the 

Department’s determination published 

in the system notice. (59 FR 36717, July 

19, 1994).

SYSTEM NAME: 

HHS Records Related to Research 

Misconduct Proceedings, HHS/OS/ORI. 

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: 

None. 

SYSTEM LOCATION(S): 

Office of Research Integrity, 1101 

Wootton Parkway, Suite 750, Rockville, 

MD 20852, and Federal Records Centers 

for inactive, permanent records. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM: 

The individuals covered by this 

system are referred to as ‘‘respondents.’’ 

Part 93 defines the term ‘‘respondent’’ to 

mean ‘‘the person against whom an 

allegation of research misconduct is 

directed or who is the subject of a 

research misconduct proceeding.’’ 42 

CFR 93.225. 

Part 93 and this system notice apply 

to an allegation of research misconduct 

involving: (1) Applications or proposals 

for PHS support for biomedical or 

behavioral extramural or intramural 

research, research training or activities 

related to that research or research 

training, such as the operation of tissue 

and data banks and the dissemination of 

research information; (2) PHS supported 

biomedical or behavioral extramural or 

intramural research; (3) PHS supported 

biomedical or behavioral extramural or 

intramural research training programs; 

(4) PHS supported extramural or 

intramural activities that are related to 

biomedical or behavioral research or 

research training; and (5) plagiarism of 

research records produced in the course 

of PHS supported research, research 

training or activities related to that 

research or research training. 

The term ‘‘research misconduct’’ is 

defined to mean ‘‘fabrication, 

falsification, or plagiarism in proposing, 

performing, or reviewing research, or in 

reporting research results.’’ 

‘‘Fabrication’’ is defined to mean 

‘‘making up data or results and 

recording or reporting them.’’ 

‘‘Falsification’’ is ‘‘manipulating 

research materials, equipment, or 

processes, or changing or omitting data 

or results such that the research is not 

accurately represented in the research 

record.’’ ‘‘Plagiarism’’ is ‘‘the 

appropriation of another person’s ideas, 

processes, results, or words without 

giving appropriate credit.’’ Research 

misconduct does not include honest 

error or differences of opinion. 42 CFR 

93.103. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

This system contains records related 

to research misconduct proceedings. 

The term ‘‘research misconduct 

proceeding’’ is defined to mean ‘‘any 

actions related to alleged research 

misconduct taken under this part, [Part 

93] including but not limited to 

allegation assessments, inquiries, 

investigations, ORI oversight reviews, 

hearings, and administrative appeals.’’ 

42 CFR 93.223. 

The records include all information 

that must be submitted to ORI by 

institutions under Part 93 in connection 

with a research misconduct proceeding, 

and all information that ORI receives or 

generates in overseeing or conducting 

research misconduct proceedings. This 

information includes, but is not 

necessarily limited to information about 

respondents (this may include social 

security numbers), complainants, and 

witnesses; the nature of the allegations; 

the PHS funding involved, including 

grant numbers; the institutions and 

officials responsible for conducting the 

actions that are part of the research 

misconduct proceeding; the 

documentation used in the inquiry and 

investigation, including relevant 

research data and materials, 

applications, proposals and 

documentation related to review and 

award actions, reports, abstracts, 

manuscripts and publications by the 

respondent(s) and other relevant 

reports, abstracts, manuscripts and 

publications, correspondence; 

memoranda of telephone calls, 

summaries of interviews and transcripts 

or recordings of interviews; statistical, 

scientific, and forensic analyses; interim 

and final institutional reports, and 

records of institutional appeal 

proceedings, if any. 

The system also includes records 

relating to: (1) ORI oversight of 

institutional assessments, inquiries and 

investigations, ORI findings of research 

misconduct, and ORI proposals for HHS 

administrative actions or for settlement 

of the case; (2) final HHS findings of 

research misconduct, final HHS 

decisions regarding administrative 

actions, and documentation of the 

implementation of those actions; and (3)

ORI coordination with other Federal, 

State, and local offices/agencies, 

including the Department of Justice. 

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

The authorities for maintaining the 

system are: Sections 301 and 493 of the 

Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. 

241, and 289b; 5 U.S.C. 552a, 5 U.S.C. 

301 and 44 U.S.C. 3101; 42 CFR Part 93; 

2 CFR Part 376; 48 CFR Subpart 309.4. 

PURPOSE(S): 

The purposes of this system are to: 

(1) Enable HHS, ORI, and the Federal 

Government to protect the health and 

safety of the public, to promote the 

integrity of PHS supported research, and 

to conserve public funds; 

(2) Enable ORI to implement its 

authority relating to research 

misconduct proceedings as set forth in 

42 U.S.C. 289b and 42 CFR Part 93, and 

to document HHS and ORI activities in 

implementing that authority; 

(3) Ensure that research misconduct 

proceedings, including institutional 

implementation of HHS administrative 

actions, are carried out in accordance 

with 42 CFR Part 93 and other 

applicable Federal statutes and 

regulations; 

(4) Enable ORI to inform PHS agency 

officials who have a need for the records 

in the performance of their duties, of the 

status and results of research 

misconduct proceedings; and 

(5) Enable ORI to notify, consult with, 

and provide assistance to other Federal, 

State, or local governmental agencies to 

permit them to take action to protect the 

health and safety of the public, to 

promote the integrity of PHS supported 

research, to conserve public funds, or to 

pursue potential violations of civil and 

criminal statutes. 

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM INCLUDING THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES

AND CATEGORIES OF USERS: 

The HHS Privacy Act regulation lists, 

at 45 CFR 5b.9(b), disclosures of records 

that may be made without the consent 

of the individual who is the subject of 

the records. Among the permitted 

disclosures are disclosures to those 

officers and employees of the 

Department who have a need for the 

record in the performance of their duties 

and routine uses that are listed in the 

notice of the system of records. A 

‘‘routine use’’ is defined in 45 CFR 5.1(j) 

to mean ‘‘the disclosure of a record 

outside the Department, without the 

consent of the subject individual, for a 

purpose which is compatible with the 

purpose for which the record was 

collected.’’ The routine uses for this 

system of records are listed below. 

1. Disclosure may be made to any 

person able to obtain information or 

provide information or assistance in a 

research misconduct proceeding or 

related proceeding, ORI oversight of an 

institutional research misconduct 

proceeding, or ORI oversight of the 

implementation of HHS administrative 

actions. Recipients of disclosures under 

this routine use may include experts 

asked to perform statistical, forensic or 

other analyses, the relevant PHS 

supported institution(s), institutions 

with which the respondent(s) was 

previously or is currently affiliated, 

Federal, State and local agencies, the 

respondent(s), the complainant(s), 

witnesses, and organizations or 

individuals acting on behalf of those 

agencies, institutions and individuals; 

provided, however, that in each case 

ORI determines whether limited 

disclosures or confidentiality 

agreements are needed to protect the 

privacy of respondent(s), 

complainant(s), witnesses, research 

subjects or others who may be identified 

in the records to be disclosed. 

2. Disclosure may be made to other 

Federal, State, or local agencies and 

offices, if ORI has reason to believe that 

a research misconduct proceeding may 

involve that agency or office. 

3. When a record on its face, or in 

conjunction with other records, 

indicates a violation or potential 

violation of law, whether civil, criminal 

or regulatory in nature, disclosure may 

be made to the appropriate agency, 

whether Federal, foreign, State, local or 

Tribal, or other public authority 

responsible for enforcing, investigating 

or prosecuting such violation, if the 

information disclosed is relevant to the 

responsibilities of the agency or public 

authority. 

4. Disclosure may be made to 

responsible officials of PHS-supported 

institutions or organizations, when in 

connection with a research misconduct 

proceeding concerning an individual 

previously or currently employed by, or 

affiliated with the institution or 

organization, or when ORI or HHS 

makes a finding or takes an action 

potentially affecting the institution or 

organization or its PHS support for 

research, research training, or related 

activities. 

5. After there is a final HHS/ORI 

finding of research misconduct, 

disclosure may be made to a Federal, 

State, local or Tribal agency in 

connection with the hiring or retention 

of an employee, the issuance of a 

security clearance, the reporting of an 

investigation of an employee, or the 

issuance of a license or other benefit by 

the agency, to the extent that the record 

is relevant to the agency’s decision on 

the matter. 

6. After there is a final HHS/ORI 

finding of research misconduct, 

disclosure may be made to professional 

journals, other publications, news 

media, other individuals and entities, 

and the public concerning research 

misconduct findings and the need to 

correct or retract research results or 

reports that have been affected by 

research misconduct. No information 

will be released that would reveal a 

confidential source. 

7. After there is a final HHS/ORI 

finding of research misconduct, 

disclosure may be made to a State 

licensing board, certifying body, or 

other similar entity conducting a review 

of the respondent, to aid the entity in 

meeting its responsibility to protect the 

health of the population in its 

jurisdiction or the integrity of the 

profession. 

8. After there is an HHS decision to 

suspend, or a final HHS decision to 

debar the respondent from Federal 

procurement and nonprocurement 

programs, disclosure may be made to 

GSA for the purpose of adding the 

respondent to GSA’s Excluded Parties 

List System. 

9. Disclosure may be made to 

volunteers and contractors engaged to 

perform a service in support of an ORI 

research misconduct oversight function, 

if such persons need access to the 

records to perform their assigned task; 

provided, however, in each case ORI 

determines whether limited disclosures 

or confidentiality agreements are 

needed to protect the privacy of 

respondent(s), complainant(s), 

witnesses, research subjects or others 

who may be identified in the records to 

be disclosed; and ORI determines that 

the disclosure is for a purpose 

compatible with the purpose for which 

the agency collected the records. 

10. When ORI closes a case without 

a settlement or finding of research 

misconduct, disclosure may be made to 

the respondent, relevant institution, and 

complainant(s); provided, however, that 

in each case ORI determines whether 

limited disclosures or confidentiality 

agreements are needed to protect the 

privacy of respondent(s), 

complainant(s), witnesses, research 

subjects or others who may be identified 

in the records to be disclosed. 

11. Disclosure may be made to DOJ 

when: (a) The agency or any component 

thereof; or (b) any employee of the 

agency in his or her official capacity 

where the DOJ has agreed to represent 

the employee; or (c) the United States 

Government, is a party to litigation or 

has an interest in such litigation and, 


cprice-sewell on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES
44850 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 167 / Monday, August 31, 2009 / Notices 

prior to disclosure, the agency 

determines that the records are both 

relevant and necessary to the litigation 

and the use of such records by the DOJ 

is therefore deemed by the agency to be 

for a purpose that is compatible with the 

purpose for which the agency collected 

the records. 

12. Disclosure may be made to a court 

or other tribunal, when: (a) The agency 

or any component thereof; or (b) any 

employee of the agency in his or her 

official capacity where the DOJ has 

agreed to represent the employee; or (c) 

the United States Government is a party 

to the proceeding or has an interest in 

such proceeding and, prior to 

disclosure, the agency determines that 

the records are both relevant and 

necessary to the proceeding and the use 

of such records is therefore deemed by 

the agency to be for a purpose that is 

compatible with the purpose for which 

the agency collected the records. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, 

RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND

DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

STORAGE: 

Records are stored in file folders, 

electronic and magnetic media and 

other types of data storage devices. 

RETRIEVABILITY: 

Records are retrieved by manual or 

computer search of the case-tracking 

system using the name of the 

respondent(s) (i.e., the individual or 

individuals who are the subject of an 

allegation of research misconduct or of 

a research misconduct proceeding). 

SAFEGUARDS: 

1. Authorized users: Records are 

available to the system manager, to the 

Director, ORI, and to other appropriate 

ORI staff when they have a need for the 

records in the performance of their 

duties. Records are also available to the 

head of intramural research for the PHS 

agency involved, and to other 

appropriate HHS officials, including 

attorneys in the Office of the General 

Counsel, the Agency Research Integrity 

Liaison Officer (ARILOs), the Agency 

Intramural Research Integrity Officer 

(AIRIOs), the Agency Extramural 

Research Integrity Officer (AERIOs), and 

the Research Integrity Officers (RIOs) 

located in the Institutes and Centers of 

the National Institutes of Health (NIH) 

that are involved in the research 

misconduct proceeding, when there is a 

need to know in the performance of 

their duties. All authorized users are 

informed that the records are 

confidential and are not to be further 

disclosed. 

2. Procedural safeguards: Access is 

strictly controlled by the system 

manager and the Director, ORI, in 

compliance with the Privacy Act and 

this system notice. Access to the records 

is limited to ensure confidentiality. All 

questions and inquiries from any party 

should be addressed to the system 

manager. 

3. Physical safeguards: ORI records 

are kept in locked file cabinets in a 

room that is locked during non-working 

hours. Access to this room is restricted 

to specific personnel. The ORI office 

suite is protected by access and 

intrusion alarms at the front and 

emergency entrances. Access to 

computer files is strictly limited through 

passwords and user-invisible 

encryption. Special measures 

commensurate with the sensitivity of 

the record are taken to prevent 

unauthorized copying or disclosure of 

the records. 

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: 

The files are retained and disposed of 

in accordance with the General Records 

Schedule (accessions) and a disposition 

schedule approved by the National 

Archives and Records Administration 

(cases). 

SYSTEM MANAGER AND ADDRESS: 

Director, Division of Investigative 

Oversight, Office of Research Integrity, 

1101 Wootton Parkway, Suite 750, 

Rockville, MD 20852. 

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES: 

This system is exempt from access; 

however, consideration will be given to 

requests addressed to the system 

manager. The requester must verify his 

or her identity by providing either a 

notarization of the request or a written 

certification that the requester is who he 

or she claims to be and understands that 

the knowing and willful request for 

acquisition of a record pertaining to an 

individual under false pretenses is a 

criminal offense under the Privacy Act, 

subject to a five thousand dollar fine. 

The request should include: (a) Full 

name, (b) address, and (c) year of 

records in question. 

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES: 

Same as notification procedures. 

Requesters should reasonably specify 

the record contents being sought. 

Although the system is exempt, 

respondents may, upon request, receive 

records from this system and an 

accounting of disclosure of their 

records, if the system manager 

determines the disclosure would not 

compromise the activities of ORI or the 

confidentiality of information. 

CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES: 

Exempt. However, consideration may 

be given to requests addressed to the 

system manager. Requests for 

corrections should reasonably identify 

the record and specify the information 

to be contested, the corrective action 

sought and the reasons for the 

corrections with supporting 

justification. The right to contest records 

is limited to information that is 

incomplete, irrelevant, incorrect, or 

obsolete. 

RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES: 

Information in this system is received 

or obtained from many sources, 

including: (1) Directly from the 

respondent or complainant or his/her 

representative; (2) derived from 

materials supplied by the respondent or 

complainant or his/her representative; 

(3) from information supplied by the 

institutions, witnesses, scientific 

publications and other 

nongovernmental sources; (4) from 

observation and analysis made by ORI 

staff and scientific experts; (5) 

departmental and other Federal, State, 

and local government records; (6) from 

hearings and other administrative 

proceedings; and (7) from any other 

relevant source. 

SYSTEM EXEMPTED FROM CERTAIN PROVISIONS

OF THE ACT: 

This system is exempted pursuant to 

5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2) and (k)(5) of the 

Privacy Act from access, notification, 

correction, and amendment provisions 

of the Act (5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3), (d)(1)– 

(4), (e)(4)(G)–(H), and (f)).
