impact of mandatory-random drug 

testing policies in high schools and to 

determine if mandatory-random drug 

testing policies result in less reported 

use of tobacco, alcohol, and illicit 

substances among a group of students in 

participating high schools compared to 

a comparable group of students in high 

schools that do not operate a 

mandatory-random drug testing 

program. 

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: 

The Department may disclose 

information contained in a record in 

this system of records under the routine 

uses listed in this system of records 

without the consent of the individual if 

the disclosure is compatible with the 

purposes for which the record was 

collected. These disclosures may be 

made on a case-by-case basis or, if the 

Department has complied with the 

computer matching requirements of the 

Privacy Act, under a computer matching 

agreement. Any disclosure of 

individually identifiable information 

from a record in this system must also 

comply with the requirements of section 

183 of the ESRA (20 U.S.C. 9573) 

providing for confidentiality standards 

that apply to all collections, reporting, 

and publication of data by IES. 

Contract Disclosure. If the Department 

contracts with an entity for the purposes 

of performing any function that requires 

disclosure of records in this system to 

employees of the contractor, the 

Department may disclose the records to 

those employees. Before entering into 

such a contract, the Department shall 

require the contractor to maintain 

Privacy Act safeguards as required 

under 5 U.S.C. 552a(m) with respect to 

the records in the system. 

DISCLOSURE TO CONSUMER REPORTING

AGENCIES: 

Not applicable to this system notice. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, 

RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND

DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

STORAGE: 

The Department maintains records on 

CD-ROM, and the contractor and 

subcontractor maintain data for this 

system on computers and in hard copy. 

RETRIEVABILITY: 

Records in this system are indexed by 

a number assigned to each individual 

that is cross referenced by the 

individual’s name on a separate list. 

SAFEGUARDS: 

All physical access to the 

Department’s site and to the sites of the 

Department’s contractor and 

subcontractor, where this system of 

records is maintained, is controlled and 

monitored by security personnel. The 

computer system employed by the 

Department offers a high degree of 

resistance to tampering and 

circumvention. This security system 

limits data access to Department and 

contract staff on a ‘‘need to know’’ basis, 

and controls individual users’ ability to 

access and alter records within the 

system. The contractor and 

subcontractor will establish similar sets 

of procedures at their sites to ensure 

confidentiality of data. Their systems 

are required to ensure that information 

identifying individuals is in files 

physically separated from other research 

data. The contractor and subcontractor 

will maintain security of the complete 

set of all master data files and 

documentation. Access to individually 

identifiable data will be strictly 

controlled. At each site all data will be 

kept in locked file cabinets during 

nonworking hours, and work on 

hardcopy data will take place in a single 

room, except for data entry. Physical 

security of electronic data will also be 

maintained. Security features that 

protect project data include: passwordprotected accounts that authorize users 

to use the contractor’s and 

subcontractor’s systems but to access 

only specific network directories and 

network software; user rights and 

directory and file attributes that limit 

those who can use particular directories 

and files and determine how they can 

use them; e-mail passwords that 

authorize the user to access mail 

services; and additional security 

features that the network administrators 

will establish for projects as needed. 

The contractor and subcontractor 

employees who ‘‘maintain’’ (collect, 

maintain, use, or disseminate) data in 

this system shall comply with the 

requirements of the confidentiality 

standards in section 183 of the ESRA 

(20 U.S.C. 9573). 

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: 

Records are maintained and disposed 

of in accordance with the Department’s 

Records Disposition Schedules (Section 

Ed/RDS, Part 3, Item 2b and Part 3, Item 

5a).

Evaluation and Regional Assistance,

RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES: 

The system will contain information 

about two cohorts of approximately 200 

high school students each of (i) 26 high 

schools operating the mandatoryrandom drug testing program and (ii) 26 

high schools that will not operate the 

program but that will serve as control 

high schools for this evaluation. The 

total number of high school students 

included in this system of records will 

be approximately 10,400 in each of 

school years 2006–07 and 2007–08. The 

52 participating high schools will be 

from school districts that are recipients 

of the grants for School-Based Student 

Drug-Testing Programs that were 

announced in 2006 by OSDFS. 

The system of records will include 

information about the high school 

students participating in the evaluation 

including the students’ names; 

addresses; demographic information 

such as race/ethnicity, gender, age, and 

educational background; and attitudes 

and beliefs concerning substance use,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: EAC Voting System Testing and 

Certification Program Manual. 

OMB Number: 3265–0004. 

Type of Review: Extension with 

change of a currently approved 

collection. 

Needs and Uses: HAVA requires that 

the EAC certify and decertify voting 

systems (42 U.S.C. 15371). Section 

231(a)(1) of HAVA specifically requires 

the EAC to ‘‘* * * provide for the 

certification, decertification and 

recertification of voting system 

hardware and software by accredited 

laboratories.’’ The EAC will perform this 

mandated function through the use of 

its Voting System Testing and 

Certification Program. Voting systems 

certified by the EAC will be used by 

citizens to cast votes in Federal 

Elections. Therefore, it is paramount 

that the program operates in a reliable 

and effective manner. In order to certify 

a voting system, it is necessary for the 

EAC to (1) Require voting system 

manufacturers to submit information 

about their organization and the voting 

systems they submit for testing and 

certification; (2) require voting system 

manufacturers to retain voting system 

technical and test records; and (3) to 

provide a mechanism for election 

officials to report events which may 

effect a voting system’s certification. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit institutions and state and local 

election officials. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 94 

annually. 

Total Annual Responses: 99 annually. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 119 hours.

SUMMARY: The Technical Guidelines 

Development Committee (the 

‘‘Development Committee’’) was 

established to act in the public interest 

to assist the Executive Director of the 

U.S. Election Assistance Commission 

(EAC) in the development of voluntary 

voting system guidelines. The 

Committee held their first plenary 

meeting on July 9, 2004. At this 

meeting, the Development Committee 

agreed to a resolution forming three 

working groups: (1) Human Factors & 

Privacy; (2) Security & Transparency; 

and (3) Core Requirements & Testing to 

gather and analyze information on 

relevant issues. These working 

subcommittees propose resolutions to 

the TGDC on best practices, 

specifications and standards. 

Specifically, NIST staff and Committee 

members will meet via the above 

scheduled teleconferences to review and 

discuss progress on tasks defined in 

resolutions passed at Development 

Committee plenary meetings. The 

resolutions define technical work tasks 

for NIST that will assist the Committee 

in developing recommendations for 

voluntary voting system guidelines. The 

Committee met in its eighth plenary 

session on March 22–23, 2007. 

Documents and transcriptions of 

Committee proceedings are available at: 

http://vote.nist.gov/ 

PublicHearingsandMeeting.html. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Technical Guidelines Development 

Committee (the ‘‘Development 

Committee’’) was established pursuant 

to 42 U.S.C. 15361, to act in the public 

interest to assist the Executive Director 

of the Election Assistance Commission 

in the development of the voluntary 

voting system guidelines. The 

information gathered and analyzed by 

the working subcommittees during their 

teleconference meetings will be 

reviewed at future Development 

Committee plenary meetings.
