----

 

For this aspect of the contract, it is anticipated that techniciansshall be available at least one day per weekend through the entire period ofthis contract (the weekend blood samples will be less than 200 ml and from lessthan five donors).

 

14)   The Contractor shall handleinternational shipments of biological specimens (blood components, urine,gastric juice, and biopsy specimens) and clearance of these shipments throughU.S. and foreign customs. The Contractor must provide a separateshipping/customs agent to coordinate shipping, clear specimens through customsat U.S. entry port, transfer to appropriate courier/express delivery servicefor shipment within the U.S., and notify Contractor of all arrangements so thatspecimens can be easily tracked. Close coordination is vital because thesesamples may need to be kept frozen with dry ice, and freezer-to-freezershipping time must be less than 72 hours. Delays of just one or two days willseriously jeopardize months of scientific and medical work. Large quantities ofsamples are shipped from Europe, the East Indies, Africa, China and othergeographic locales. In each instance, the repository Contractor shall haveresponsibility for coordinating logistics to insure their timely arrival,including contracting with appropriate customs brokers and agents to expediteshipment and customs clearances.

 

15)   The Contractor, with input fromthe Project Officer, shall develop methods and procedures that improve thequality and efficiency of current biologic specimen collection, processing,shipping or storage protocols.  Examplesof such studies are: Specimen stability with respect to various storageconditions and analyses; nucleic acid extraction methodology; comparison ofserum and plasma in serologic assays; evaluation of specimen shippingprotocols; evaluation of processing/aliquoting for chip-based approaches;evaluation of suitable method to preserve RNA, especially mRNA.

**agency: National Institutes of Health, HHS.**

 

**action: Notification of a new system ofrecords.**

 

 

**summary: In accordance with the requirementsof the Privacy Act, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is publishing anotice of a new system of records, 09-25-0200, “Clinical, Epidemiologic andBiometric Studies of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), HHS/NIH/OD.” Thissystem notice serves as an umbrella system for most NIH clinical, epidemiologicand biometric research studies. Thirty-eight existing NIH system notices were subsumed under this notice(listed in the system notice under System Manager(s)), to reduce the number andavoid future proliferation of like system notices.  We are also proposing routine uses for this new system; with twoexceptions, these routine uses were already contained in the preceding systemnotices.  The first new routine use willallow disclosure to authorized organizations which provide health services tosubject individuals or provide third-party reimbursement or fiscal intermediaryfunctions.  The purpose of thedisclosure is to plan for or provide such services, bill or collect third-partyreimbursements.  The second new routineuse will allow disclosure for the purpose of reporting child, elder, or spousalabuse or neglect, or any other type of abuse or neglect as required by State orFederal law.**

**supplementary information:  The National Institutes of Health (NIH)proposes to establish a new system of records: 09-25-0200, “Clinical,Epidemiologic and Biometric Studies of the National Institutes of Health (NIH),HHS/NIH/OD.” This umbrella system of records will be used by NIH staff todocument, track, monitor and evaluate NIH clinical, epidemiologic and biometricresearch activities.  This inclusivesystem notice will achieve agency administrative efficiencies, avoidingconfusion created by the current fragmented pool of Institute, Center andDivision (ICD) system notices.  Becauseof its unique organizational structure, NIH has, over the recent decades,experienced a proliferation of almost identical system notices that differ onlyby disease/disorder under study or ICD interest.  This system notice subsumes thirty-eight existing system noticesand will offer coverage for research not currently covered by an appropriate systemnotice.  The consolidation of similarresearch systems of records into one generic type notice will also serve thepublic interest.  It will alleviateburden on the public associated with multiple attempts at notification, accessand correction of record information when individuals are not sure whichresearch system notice applied to their study participation.**

**The system will comprise records aboutindividuals as relevant to a particular research study.  Examples include, but are not limited to:Name, study identification number, address, relevant telephone numbers, SocialSecurity Number (voluntary), driver’s license number, date of birth, weight,height, sex, race; medical, psychological and dental information, laboratoryand diagnostic testing results; registries; social, economic and demographicdata; health services utilization; insurance and hospital cost data, employers,conditions of the work environment, exposure to hazardous substances/compounds;information pertaining to stored biologic specimens (including blood, urine,tissue and genetic materials), characteristics and activities of health careproviders and educators and trainers (including curriculum vitae); andassociated correspondence.  The amountof information recorded on each individual will be only that which is necessaryto accomplish the purpose of the system.**

**The records in this system will be maintainedin a secure manner compatible with their content and use.  NIH and contractor staff will be required toadhere to the provisions of the Privacy Act and the HHS Privacy ActRegulations.  The System Manager willcontrol access to the**

**data. Only authorized users whose official duties require the use of suchinformation will have regular access to the records in this system.  Authorized users are HHS employees, andcontractors responsible for implementing the research.**

**Records may be stored on index cards, filefolders, computer tapes and disks (including optical disks), photography media,microfiche, microfilm, and audio and video tapes.  Manual and computerized records will be maintained in accordancewith the standards of Chapter 45-13 of the HHS General Administration Manual,“Safeguarding Records Contained in Systems of Records,” supplementary ChapterPHS hf:45-13, the Department’s Automated Information System Security ProgramHandbook, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology FederalInformation Processing Standards (FIPS Pub. 41 and FIPS Pub. 31).**

**Data on computer files is accessed by keywordknown only to authorized users.  Accessto information is thus limited to those with a need to know.  Rooms where records are stored are lockedwhen not in use.  During regularbusiness hours rooms are unlocked but are controlled by on-site personnel.  Researchers authorized to conduct researchon biological specimens will typically access to the system through the use ofencrypted identifiers sufficient to link individuals with records in such amanner that does not compromise confidentiality of the individual.  All authorized users of personal informationin connection with the performance of their jobs protect information frompublic view and from unauthorized personnel entering an unsupervisedoffice.  Depending upon the sensitivityof the information in the record, additional safeguard measures are employed.**

**The routine uses proposed for this system arecompatible with the stated purposes of the system. The first routine usepermits disclosure of a record for an authorized research purpose underspecified conditions.  The secondroutine use permitting disclosure to a congressional office is proposed toallow subject individuals to obtain assistance from their representatives inCongress, should they so desire. Such**

 

**[[Page 16597]]**

 

**disclosure would be made only pursuant to arequest of the individual. The third routine use allows disclosure to theDepartment of Justice for use in litigation. The fourth routine use allows disclosure of records to contractor,grantee, experts, consultants or volunteers who have been engaged by the agencyto assist in the performance of a service related to this system of records andwho need to have access to the records in order to perform the activity.  The fifth routine use allows disclosure tocertain relevant third parties (e.g., relatives, prior employees, Motor VehicleAdministration, State vita statistics offices) when necessary to obtaininformation on morbidity and mortality experiences and to locate individualsfor follow-up studies.  The sixthroutine use allows disclosure to tumor registries for maintenance of healthstatistics.  The seventh routine useallows the PHS to inform the sexual and/or needle-sharing partner(s) of asubject individual who is infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)of their exposure to HIV, or to disclose such information to State or localpublic health departments under specified circumstances. The**

**eighth routine use allows disclosure ofcertain diseases and conditions, including infectious diseases, to appropriaterepresentatives of State or Federal Government as required by State or Federallaw.  The ninth routine use allowsrecords to be disclosed to authorized organizations which provide healthservices to subject individuals or provide third-party reimbursement or fiscalintermediary functions, for the purpose of planning for or providing suchservices, billing or collecting third-party reimbursements.  The tenth routine use allows disclosure toorganizations deemed qualified by the Secretary, DHHS, to carry out qualityassessment, medical audits or utilization reviews.  The eleventh routine use allows information to be disclosed forthe purpose of reporting child, elder or spousal abuse or neglect, or any othertype of abuse or neglect as required by State or Federal law.**

**POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING,RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:**

**STORAGE:**

**Records may be stored on index cards, filefolders, computer tapes and disks (including optical disks), photography media,microfiche, microfilm, and audio and video tapes.  For certain studies, factual data with study code numbers arestored on computer tape or disk, while the key to personal identifiers is storedseparately, without factual data, in paper/computer files.**

 

**RETRIEVABILITY:**

**During data collection stages and follow-up,retrieval is by**

 

7

----

 

**personal identifier (e.g., name, SocialSecurity Number, medical record or study identification number, etc.).  During the data analysis stage, data arenormally retrieved by the variables of interest (e.g., diagnosis, age,occupation).**

 

**SAFEGUARDS:**

**1. Authorized Users:  Access toidentifiers and to link files is strictly limited to the authorized personnelwhose duties require such access. Procedures for determining authorized access to identified data areestablished as appropriate for each location. Personnel, including contractor personnel, who may be so authorizedinclude those directly involved in data collection and in the design ofresearch studies, e.g., interviewers and interviewer supervisors; projectmanagers; and statisticians involved in designing sampling plans.  Other one-time and special access by otheremployees is granted on a need-to-know basis as specifically authorized by thesystem manager.**

 

**[[Page 16599]]**

 

**Researchers authorized to conduct research onbiologic specimens will typically access the system through the use ofencrypted identifiers sufficient to link individuals with records in such amanner that does not compromise confidentiality of the individual.**

**2. Physical Safeguards:  Records areeither stored in locked rooms during off-duty hours, locked file cabinets,and/or secured computer facilities.  Forcertain studies, personal identifiers and link files are separated and storedin locked files.  Computer data accessis limited through the use of key words known only to authorized personnel.**

**3. Procedural Safeguards: Collection and maintenance of data is consistent with legislation andregulations in the protection of human subjects, informed consent,confidentially, and confidentiality specific to drug and alcohol abuse patientswhere these apply.  When anonymous datais provided to research scientists for analysis, study numbers which can bematched to personal identifiers will be eliminated, scrambled, or replaced bythe agency or contractor with random numbers which cannot be matched.  Contractors who maintain records in this systemare instructed to make no further disclosure of the records.  Privacy Act requirements are specificallyincluded in contracts fro survey and research activities related to thissystem.  The OHS project directors,contract officers, and project officers oversee compliance with theserequirements.  Personnel having accessare trained in Privacy Act requirements. Depending upon the sensitivity of the information in the record,additional safeguard measures may be employed.**

**4. Implementation Guidelines: DHHS Chapter 45-13 and supplementary ChapterPHS.hf: 45-13 of the HHS General Administration Manual and Part 6, “ADP SystemSecurity” of the HHS ADP Systems Security Manual.**

 

**RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:**

**Records are retained and disposed of underthe authority of the NIH Records Control Schedule contained in NIH ManualChapter 1743, Appendix 1 — “Keeping and Destroying Records” (HHS RecordsManagement Manual,**

**NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE:**

**To determine if a record exists, write to theappropriate ICD Privacy Act Coordinator listed below.  In cases where the requestor**

 

10

----

 

**knows specifically which System Manager tocontact, he or she may contact the System Manager directly (See AppendixI).  Notification requests shouldinclude: Individual’s name; current address; date of birth; date, place andnature of participation in specific research study; name of individual ororganization administering the research study (if known); name or descriptionof the research study (if known); address at the time of participation; and inspecific cases, a notarized statement (some highly sensitive systems requiretwo witnesses attesting to the individual’s identity).  A requestor must verify his or her identityby providing either a notarization of the request  or by submitting a written certification that the requestor iswho he or she claims to be and understands that the knowing and willful requestfor acquisition of a record pertaining to an individual under false pretensesis a criminal offense under the Act, subject to a five thousand dollar fine.**

**Individuals will be granted direct access totheir medical records unless the System Manager determines that such access islikely to have an adverse effect (i.e., could cause harm) on theindividual.  In such cases when theSystem Manager has determined that the nature of the record informationrequires medical interpretation, the subject of the record shall be requestedto designate, in writing, a responsible representative who will be willing toreview the record and inform the subject individual of its contents at therepresentative’s discretion.  Therepresentative may be a physician, other health professional, or otherresponsible individual.  In this case,the medical/dental record will be sent to the designated representative.  Individuals will be informed in writing ifthe record is sent to the representative. This same procedure will apply in cases where a parent or guardianrequests notification of, or access to, a child’s or incompetent person’smedical record.  The parent or guardianmust also verify (provide adequate documentation) their relationship to thechild or incompetent person as well as his or her own identity to prove theirrelationship.**

**If the requester does not know whichInstitute, Center or Division Privacy Act Coordinator to contact fornotification purposes, he or she may contact directly the NIH Privacy ActOfficer at the following address: NIH Privacy Act Officer, Office of ManagementAssessment, Building 31, Room 1B05, 31 Center Drive MSC 2075, Bethesda, MD20892-2075.**
