BILLING CODE 4140–01–M

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

HUMAN SERVICES

National Institutes of Health

Privacy Act of 1974; Altered System of

Records

AGENCY: National Institutes of Health

(NIH), HHS.

ACTION: Notification of altered system of

records.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

requirements of the Privacy Act, the

National Institutes of Health is

publishing a notice of a proposal to alter

the system of records 09–25–0165,

‘‘National Institutes of Health Loan

Repayment Program HHS/NIH/OD.’’

The main purposes of the major

alteration include: (1) Addition of new

programs, (2) change of the system name

to 09–25–0165, ‘‘National Institutes of

Health Office of Loan Repayment and

Scholarship (OLRS) Records System,

HHS/NIH/OD,’’ (3) the addition of

applicants, participants and individuals

interested in scholarship or loan

repayment programs of the NIH to

‘‘Categories of Individuals Covered by

the System;’’ and (4) two new and two

modified routine uses to reflect the

added programs.

DATES: The NIH invites interested

parties to submit comments on the

proposed uses on or before February 24,

2000. The NIH has sent a Report of the

Altered System to the Congress and to

the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) on January 19, 2000. The

alteration of this system of records will

be effective 40 days from the date

submitted to the OMB, unless NIH

receives comments which would result

in a contrary determination.

ADDRESSES: Please address comments

to: NIH Privacy Act Officer, 6011

Executive Boulevard, Room 601, MSC

7669, Rockville, MD 20852, (301) 496–

2832. (This is not a toll-free number).

Comments received will be available for

inspection at this same address from 9

a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Marc S. Horowitz, J.D., Director, Office

of Loan Repayment and Scholarship,

National Institutes of Health, 7550

Wisconsin Avenue, Room 604,

Bethesda, MD 20814–9121, (800) 528–

7689 (toll-free number).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Sections

487A–C, and E of the Public Health

Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 288–1, 2,

3, and 5), as amended, authorizes the

Secretary to implement and establish

programs of entering into agreements

with appropriately qualified health

professionals under which such health

professionals agree to conduct research,

as employees of the NIH or to conduct

research with respect to contraception

or infertility as employees or affiliates of

the National Institute of Child Health

and Human Development (NICHD)

Intramural Laboratories and NICHD

Extramural sites, in consideration of the

Federal Government agreeing to repay,

for each year of service, not more than

$35,000 of the principal and interest of

the educational loans of such health

professionals. These programs include

the following: (1) The NIH AIDS

Research Loan Repayment Program, (2)

the NIH General Research Loan

Repayment Program, (3) the NIH

Clinical Research Loan Repayment

Program for Individuals from

Disadvantaged Backgrounds, and (4) the

Contraceptive and Infertility Research

Loan Repayment Program.

Section 487D of the PHS Act (42

U.S.C 288–4) authorizes a scholarship

program for individuals who agree to

pursue, as undergraduates, academic

programs appropriate for careers in

professions needed by the NIH and who

agree to serve as NIH employees in

exchange for receipt of the scholarship.

This program is known as the NIH

Undergraduate Scholarship Program

(UGSP) for Individuals from

Disadvantaged Backgrounds.

The NIH is recommending this

proposed major alteration to expand

system coverage for three new programs:

(1) The General Research Loan

Repayment Program, (2) the

Contraceptive and Infertility Research

Loan Repayment Program, and (3) the

Undergraduate Scholarship Program.

The proposed name change for this

system of records to ‘‘National Institutes

of Health (NIH) Office of Loan

Repayment and Scholarship (OLRS)

Records System, HHS/NIH/OD,’’ is

recommended to reflect the addition of

records authorized by Sections 487B–D

of the Public Health Service Act (42

U.S.C. 288–2, 288–3, and 288–4), as

added June 10, 1993, by Pub. L. 103–43.

NIH is proposing to change the

‘‘Categories of Individuals Covered by

the System’’ to include applicants,

participants and individuals interested

in scholarship or loan repayment

programs of the NIH. The proposed

‘‘Categories of Records in the System’’

adds (a) program application and

associated forms; (b) academic and

research progress reports (which

include related data, correspondence,

and professional performance

information consisting of continuing

education, performance awards, and

adverse or disciplinary actions); (c)

financial data, including loan balances,

deferment, forbearance, and repayment/

delinquent/default status information;

(d) commercial credit reports; and (e)

educational data including tuition and

other expenses, and academic programs

and class standing.

In addition, two new routine uses and

two modified routine uses are proposed:

(a) New Routine Use No. 16—the

disclosure of identifying information to:

Designated coordinators at schools

participating in the scholarship program

for the purpose of determining

educational expenses and resulting

levels of scholarship support, and

guiding and informing these recipients

about the nature of their professional

service obligation to the NIH; and to

medical and graduate schools, attended

by UGSP scholars who have elected to

defer their service obligation, for the

purpose of determining their academic

status and verifying the validity of the

NIH UGSP service deferment; (b) New

Routine Use No. 17—the disclosure of

records to Department contractors and

subcontractors for the purpose of

recruiting, screening, and matching

health professionals for NIH
