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

[[Page 3968]]

employment in qualified research positions under the NIH Loan Repayment 
and Scholarship Programs (LRSPs); (c) Modified Routine Use No. 8--the 
disclosure of identifying information to a consumer reporting agency 
(credit bureau) to obtain an applicant's or participant's commercial 
credit report to: (1) Establish his/her creditworthiness, (2) assess 
and verify his/her ability to repay debts owed to the Federal 
Government, and (3) determine and verify the eligibility of loans 
submitted for repayment; and (d) Modified Routine Use No. 15--the 
disclosure of information provided by a lender or educational 
institution to other Federal agencies, debt collection agents, and 
other third parties who are authorized to collect a Federal debt. The 
purpose of this disclosure is to identify an individual who is 
delinquent in loan or benefit payments owed to the Federal Government.
    Only authorized users will have access to the records contained in 
the system. Authorized users include the following: system managers and 
their staffs, OLRS staff, financial, fiscal and records management 
personnel, legal personnel, computer personnel, and NIH contractors and 
subcontractors, all of whom are responsible for administering or 
monitoring the LRSPs. Access is limited to those individuals trained in 
accordance with Privacy Act procedures. Contractors will be required to 
maintain, and will also be required to ensure that subcontractors 
maintain confidentiality safeguards with respect to the records covered 
by this system.
    The 09-25-0165 system notice was last published in the Federal 
Register on January 20, 1995. We are republishing the system notice in 
its entirety below to incorporate the proposed changes.
    The following notice is written in the present tense, rather than 
the future tense, in order to avoid the unnecessary expenditure of 
public funds to republish the notice after the system has become 
effective.

    Dated: January 14, 2000.
Anthony L. Itteilag,
Deputy Director for Management, National Institutes of Health.
09-25-0165

SYSTEM NAME:
    ``National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Loan Repayment and 
Scholarship (OLRS) Records System, HHS/NIH/OD.''

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION:
    None.

SYSTEM LOCATION:
    Office of Loan Repayment and Scholarship (OLRS), National 
Institutes of Health, 7550 Wisconsin Avenue, Rooms 604 & B1-16, 
Bethesda, Maryland 20814-9121.
    See Appendix I for a listing of NIH offices responsible for 
administration of the NIH LRSPs. Write to the System Manager at the 
address below for the address of any Federal Records Center where 
records from this system may be stored.

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM:
    Individuals who have applied for, who have been approved to 
receive, who are receiving, or who have received funds under the NIH 
LRSPs; and individuals who are interested in participation in the NIH 
LRSPs.

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
    Name, address, Social Security number (SSN), program application 
and associated forms, service pay-back obligations, employment data, 
professional performance and credentialing history of licensed health 
professionals; personal, professional, and demographic background 
information; 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); standard school budgets; financial data 
including loan balances, deferment, forbearance, and repayment/
delinquent/default status information; commercial credit reports; 
educational data including tuition and other related educational 
expenses; educational data including academic program and status; 
employment status verification (which includes certifications and 
verifications of continuing participation in qualified research); 
Federal, State and local tax related information, including copies of 
tax returns.

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:
    Sections 487A-E (42 U.S.C. 288-1, 288-2, 288-3, 288-4, 288-5) of 
the PHS Act, as amended, authorize the NIH to establish and implement 
(a) multiple programs of educational loan repayment for qualified 
health professionals who agree to conduct research, subject to each 
program's specific statutory requirements; and (b) a scholarship 
program for undergraduates who agree to pursue academic programs 
appropriate for careers in professions needed by the NIH and who agree 
to serve as NIH employees. The provisions of subpart III of part D of 
title III of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. 254l et seq.), as amended, 
governing the National Health Service Corps (NHSC) loan repayment and 
scholarship programs, are incorporated in these authorities, except as 
inconsistent with Sections 487A-E. The Internal Revenue Code at 26 
U.S.C. 6109 requires the provision of the SSN for the receipt of loan 
repayment and scholarship funds under the NIH LRSPs. The Federal Debt 
Collection Procedures Act of 1990, Public Law 101-647 (28 U.S.C. 3201) 
requires that an individual who has a judgement lien against his/her 
property for a debt to the United States shall not be eligible to 
receive funds directly from the Federal Government in any program, 
except funds to which the debtor is entitled as a beneficiary, until 
the judgement is paid in full or otherwise satisfied. Thus, individuals 
applying to the LRSPs are required to disclose in their applications 
whether they have a judgement lien against them arising from a debt to 
the United States.

PURPOSE(S):
    These records are used to: (1) Identify and select applicants for 
the NIH LRSPs; (2) monitor loan repayment and scholarship activities, 
such as payment tracking, academic status and performance, research and 
related services, deferment of service obligation, and default; and (3) 
assist NIH officials in the collection of overdue debts owed under the 
NIH LRSPs. Records may be transferred to System No. 09-15-0045, 
``Health Resources and Services Administration Loan Repayment/Debt 
Management Records System, HHS/HRSA/OA,'' for debt collection purposes 
when NIH officials are unable to collect overdue debts owed under the 
NIH LRSPs.

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES 
OF USERS AND THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USE:
    1. Disclosure may be made to a Member of Congress or to a 
Congressional staff member in response to an inquiry of the 
Congressional office made at the written request of the constituent 
about whom the record is maintained.
    2. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) may disclose 
information from this system of records to the Department of Justice, 
or to a court or other tribunal when: (a) HHS or any component thereof; 
or (b) any HHS employee in his or her official capacity; or (c) any HHS 
employee in his or her individual capacity where the Department of 
Justice (or HHS, where it is authorized to do so) has agreed to 
represent the employee; or (d) the

[[Page 3969]]

United States Government, is a party to litigation or has an interest 
in such litigation, and by careful review, HHS determines that the 
records are both relevant and necessary to the litigation and the use 
of such records by the Department of Justice is therefore deemed by HHS 
to be for a purpose that is compatible with the purpose for which the 
records were collected.
    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, and whether arising by general 
statute or particular program statute, or by regulation, rule, or order 
issued pursuant thereto, 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 or charged with enforcing or implementing 
the statute, or rule, regulation, or order issued pursuant thereto, if 
the information disclosed is relevant to any enforcement, regulatory, 
investigative or prosecutive responsibility of the receiving entity.
    4. The NIH may disclose records to HHS contractors and 
subcontractors for the purpose of collecting, compiling, aggregating, 
analyzing, or refining records in the system. Contractors maintain, and 
are also required to ensure that subcontractors maintain, Privacy Act 
safeguards with respect to such records.
    5. The NIH may disclose information from this system of records to 
private parties such as present and former employers, references listed 
on applications and associated forms, other references and educational

if an applicant is suitable for participation in the NIH LRSPs.
    6. The NIH will disclose information from this system of records to 
a consumer reporting agency (credit bureau) to obtain an applicant or 
participant's commercial credit report for the following purposes: (1) 
To establish his/her creditworthiness; (2) To assess and verify his/her 
ability to repay debts owed to the Federal Government; and (3) To 
determine and verify the eligibility of loans submitted for repayment.

debtor's or a defaulting participant's name, address, Social Security 
number, and other information necessary to identify him/her; the 
amount, status, and history of the claim, and the agency or program 
under which the claim arose, as follows:
    a. To another Federal agency so that agency can effect a salary 
offset for debts owed by Federal employees; if the claim arose under 
the Social Security Act, the employee must have agreed in writing to 
the salary offset.
    b. To another Federal agency so that agency can effect an 
authorized administrative offset; i.e., withhold money, other than 
Federal salaries, payable to or held on behalf of the individual.
    c. To the Treasury Department, Internal Revenue Service (IRS), to 
request an individual's current mailing address to locate him/her for 
purposes of either collecting or compromising a debt, or to have a 
commercial credit report prepared.
    8. The NIH may disclose information from this system of records to 
another agency that has asked the HHS to effect a salary or 
administrative offset to help collect a debt owed to the United States. 
Disclosure is limited to the individual's name, address, Social 
Security number, and other information necessary to identify the 
individual, information about the money payable to or held for the 
individual, and other information concerning the offset.
    9. The NIH may disclose to the IRS information about an individual 
applying for any NIH loan repayment or scholarship program authorized 
by the Public Health Service Act to find out whether the applicant has 
a delinquent tax account. This disclosure is for the sole purpose of 
determining the applicant's creditworthiness and is limited to the 
individual's name, address, Social Security number, other information 
necessary to identify him/her, and the program for which the 
information is being obtained.
    10. The NIH may report to the IRS, as taxable income, the written-
off amount of a debt owed by an individual to the Federal Government 
when a debt becomes partly or wholly uncollectible, either because the 
time period for collection under statute or regulations has expired, or 
because the Government agrees with the individual to forgive or 
compromise the debt.
    11. The NIH may disclose to debt collection agents, other Federal 
agencies, and other third parties who are authorized to collect a 
Federal debt, information necessary to identify a delinquent debtor or 
a defaulting participant. Disclosure will be limited to the 
individual's name, address, Social Security number, and other 
information necessary to identify him/her; the amount, status, and 
history of the claim, and the agency or program under which the claim 
arose.
    12. The NIH may disclose information from this system of records to 
any third party that may have information about a delinquent debtor's 
or a defaulting participant's current address, such as a U.S. post 
office, a State motor vehicle administration, a professional 
organization, an alumni association, etc., for the purpose of obtaining 
the individual's current address. This disclosure will be strictly 
limited to information necessary to identify the individual, without 
any reference to the reason for the agency's need for obtaining the 
current address.
    13. The NIH may disclose information from this system of records to 
other Federal agencies that also provide loan repayment or scholarship 
at the request of these Federal agencies in conjunction with a matching 
program conducted by these Federal agencies to detect or curtail fraud 
and abuse in Federal loan repayment or scholarship programs, and to 
collect delinquent loans or benefit payments owed to the Federal 
Government.
    14. The NIH will disclose from this system of records to the 
Department of Treasury, IRS: (1) A delinquent debtor's or a defaulting 
participant's name, address, Social Security number, and other 
information necessary to identify the individual; (2) the amount of the 
debt; and (3) the program under which the debt arose, so that the IRS 
can offset against the debt any income tax refunds which may be due to 
the individual.
    15. The NIH may disclose information provided by a lender or 
educational institution to other Federal agencies, debt collection 
agents, and other third parties who are authorized to collect a Federal 
debt. The purpose of this disclosure is to identify an individual who 
is delinquent in loan or benefit payments owed to the Federal 
Government and the nature of the debt.
    16. The NIH will disclose records consisting of names, disciplines, 
current mailing addresses, and dates of scholarship support and dates 
of graduation of scholarship recipients to: (a) Designated coordinators 
at each school participating in the scholarship program for the purpose 
of determining educational expenses and resulting levels of scholarship 
support, and for the purpose of guiding and informing these recipients 
about the nature of their

[[Page 3970]]

service obligations to the NIH; and (b) 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.
    17. The NIH may disclose records to HHS contractors and 
subcontractors for the purpose of recruiting, screening, and matching 
health professionals for NIH employment in qualified research positions 
under the NIH LRSPs. In addition, HHS contractors and subcontractors: 
(1) may disclose biographic data and information supplied by potential 
applicants (a) to references listed on application and associated forms 
for the purpose of evaluating the applicant's professional 
qualifications, experience, and suitability, and (b) to a State or 
local government medical licensing board and/or to the Federation of 
State Medical Boards or a similar nongovernment entity for the purpose 
of verifying that all claimed background and employment data are valid 
and all claimed credentials are current and in good standing; (2) may 
disclose biographic data and information supplied by references listed 
on application and associated forms to other references for the purpose 
of inquiring into the applicant's professional qualifications and 
suitability; and (3) may disclose professional suitability evaluation 
information to NIH officials for the purpose of appraising the 
applicant's professional qualifications and suitability for 
participation in the NIH LRSPs. Contractors maintain, and are also 
required to ensure that subcontractors maintain, Privacy Act safeguards 
with respect to such records.

DISCLOSURE TO CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCIES:
    Disclosures pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(12): Disclosures may be 
made from this system to ``consumer reporting agencies'' as defined in 
the Federal Claims Collection Act of 1966, as amended (31 U.S.C. 
3701(a)(3)). The purposes of these disclosures are: (1) To provide an 
incentive for debtors to repay delinquent debts to the Federal 
Government by making these debts part of their credit records, and (2) 
to enable NIH to improve the quality of loan repayment and scholarship 
decisions by taking into account the financial reliability of 
applicants, including obtaining a commercial credit report to assess 
and verify the ability of an individual to repay debts owed to the 
Federal Government. Disclosure of records will be limited to the 
individual's name, Social Security number, and other information 
necessary to establish the identity of the individual, the amount, 
status, and history of the claim, and the agency or program under which 
the claim arose.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, 
AND DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
STORAGE:
    Records are maintained in file folders, file cards, microfiche and 
electronic media, including computer tape, discs, servers connected to 
local area networks, and Internet servers.

RETRIEVABILITY:
    Records are retrieved by name, NIH Institutes and Centers, Social 
Security number, or other identifying numbers or characteristics.

SAFEGUARDS:
    1. Authorized Users: Access to information is limited to authorized 
personnel in the performance of their duties. Authorized personnel 
include system managers and their staffs, NIH OLRS officials and staff, 
financial, fiscal and records management personnel, legal personnel, 
computer personnel, and NIH contractors and subcontractors--all of whom 
are responsible for administering the NIH LRSPs.
    2. Physical Safeguards: Rooms where records are stored are locked 
when not in use. During regular business hours rooms are unlocked but 
are controlled by on-site personnel. Security guards perform random 
checks on the physical security of the storage locations after duty 
hours, including weekends and holidays.
    3. Procedural and Technical Safeguards: A password is required to 
access the terminal and a data set name controls the release of data to 
only authorized users. All users of personal information in connection 
with the performance of their jobs (see Authorized Users, above) 
protect information from public view and from unauthorized personnel 
entering an unsupervised office. Data on local area network computer 
files is accessed by keyword known only to authorized personnel. Codes 
by which automated files may be accessed are changed periodically. This 
procedure also includes deletion of access codes when employees or 
contractors leave. New employees and contractors are briefed and the 
security department is notified of all staff members and contractors 
authorized to be in secured areas during working and nonworking hours. 
This list is revised as necessary. Individuals remotely accessing the 
secured areas of the OLRS Internet sites have separate accounts and 
passwords. Passwords are assigned by project staff and may include both 
alphabetic and non-alphabetic characters. These practices are in 
compliance with the standards of Chapter 45-13 of the HHS General 
Administration Manual, ``Safeguarding Records Contained in Systems of 
Records,'' supplementary Chapter PHS hf: 45-13, and the Department's 
Automated Information System Security Handbook.

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:
    Records are retained and disposed of under the authority of the NIH 
Records Control Schedule contained in NIH Manual Chapter 1743, Appendix 
1--``Keeping and Destroying Records'' (HHS Records Management Manual, 
Appendix B-361), item 2300-537-1. Participant case files are 
transferred to a Federal Records Center one year after closeout and 
destroyed five years later. Closeout is the process by which it is 
determined that all applicable administrative actions and disbursements 
of benefits have been completed by the OLRS and service obligations 
have been completed by the participant. Applicant case files are 
destroyed three years after disapproval or withdrawal of their 
application. Appeal and litigation case files are destroyed six years 
after the calendar year in which the case is closed. Other copies of 
these files are destroyed two years after the calendar year in which 
the case is closed.

SYSTEM MANAGER AND ADDRESS:
    Director, Office of Loan Repayment and Scholarship, National 
Institutes of Health, 7550 Wisconsin Avenue, Room 604, Bethesda, 
Maryland 20814-9121.

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES:
    To determine if a record exists, write to the System Manager listed 
above. A written request must contain the name and address of the 
requester, Social Security number, and his/her signature which is 
either notarized to verify his/her identity or includes a written 
certification that the requester is the person he/she claims to be and 
that he/she understands that the knowing and willful request or 
acquisition of records pertaining to an individual under false 
pretenses is a criminal offense subject to a $5,000 fine. In addition, 
the following information is needed: dates of enrollment in the NIH 
LRSPs and current enrollment status, such as pending application 
approval or approved for participation.

[[Page 3971]]

    An individual who appears in person at a specific location seeking 
access to or disclosure of records relating to him/her shall provide 
his/her name, current address, Social Security number, dates of 
enrollment in an NIH loan repayment or scholarship program, and at 
least one piece of tangible identification, such as driver's license, 
passport, or voter registration card. Identification papers with 
current photographs are preferred but not required. If an individual 
has no identification papers but is personally known to an agency 
employee, such employees shall make a written record verifying the 
individual's identity. Where the individual has no identification 
papers, the responsible agency official shall require that the 
individual certify in writing that he/she is the individual who he/she 
claims to be and that he/she understands that the knowing and willful 
request or acquisition of a record concerning an individual under false 
pretenses is a criminal offense subject to a $5,000 fine. Since 
positive identification of the caller or sender cannot be established, 
telephone and electronic mail requests are not honored.

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES:
    Write to the System Manager specified above to attain access to 
records and provide the same information as is required under the 
Notification Procedures. Requesters should also reasonably specify the 
record contents being sought. Individuals may also request an 
accounting of disclosures of their records, if any.

CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES:
    Contact the System Manager specified above and reasonably identify 
the record, specify the information to be contested, the corrective 
action sought, and your reasons for requesting the correction, along 
with supporting information to show how the record is inaccurate, 
incomplete, untimely or irrelevant. The right to contest records is 
limited to information which is incomplete, irrelevant, incorrect, or 
untimely (obsolete).

RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES:
    Subject individual; participating lending and loan servicing 
institutions; educational institutions; other Federal agencies; 
consumer reporting agencies/credit bureaus; and third parties that 
provide references concerning the subject individual.

SYSTEMS EXEMPTED FROM CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE ACT:
    None.
