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

3968 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 16 / Tuesday, January 25, 2000 / Notices

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.

Deputy Director for Management, National

Institutes of Health.

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/

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

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 16 / Tuesday, January 25, 2000 / Notices 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

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

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.

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

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 nonalphabetic 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

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.
