ACTION: Notice of a new system of 

records. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Privacy Act of 1974, as amended 

(Privacy Act), the U.S. Department of 

Education (Department) publishes this 

notice of a new system of records titled 

‘‘Connecting Adults to Success: 

Evaluation of Career Navigator 

Training’’ (18–13–46). This system 

contains personally identifiable 

information provided by adult learners 

and staff at adult education sites who 

participate in the Connecting Adults to 

Success: Evaluation of Career Navigator 

Training (the Study). The information in 

this system will be used to assess 

whether providing career navigators 

with training leads to improved 

education and employment outcomes 

among adult learners. The Study will 

examine whether outcomes measured at 

18 and 30 months after beginning 

participation in the Study differ on 

average between learners in the Study’s 

sites who are assigned by lottery to 

receive the Study’s career navigator 

training and learners in the Study’s sites 

who are assigned by lottery to a control 

group.

Order 13478 (November 18, 2008). 

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM: 

The records maintained in this system 

will be used to measure the 

effectiveness of training for career 

navigators in improving the education 

and employment outcomes of adult 

learners. The records maintained in this 

system will be used to address the 

following research questions: 

• Can providing training to career 

navigators improve adult learners’ 

college enrollment and credential 

attainment rates? 

• Can providing training to career

explain any impacts on adult learners’ 

postsecondary and workforce outcomes? 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM: 

This system will maintain records on 

career navigators and adult learners 

from across 64 adult education provider 

sites. The adult education provider sites 

will be recipients of funds under the 

Department’s adult education formula 

grant program that volunteer to 

participate in the Connecting Adults to 

Success: Evaluation of Career Navigator 

Training (the Study) and that meet the 

Study’s selection criteria including that 

they employ career navigators, do not 

already provide training to such 

navigators that is similar to the Study’s 

training, and routinely collect SSNs 

from learners as part of program intake. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

Records maintained in this system on 

career navigators include, but are not 

limited to, name; email address; work 

and training experience; education 

background; demographic information 

such as race, age, ethnicity, and gender; 

types and intensity of career navigation 

services that the navigator provides; 

records of the navigator’s participation 

in the Study’s training; and the 

navigator’s perceptions of the Study’s 

training. 

Records maintained in this system on 

adult learners include, but are not 

limited to, name; mailing address; email 

address; date of birth; SSN; work 

experience; education background; 

English learner status; demographic 

information such as race, ethnicity, and 

gender; course enrollment at the adult 

education site; participation in career 

navigation services; performance on 

tests of basic literacy skills; educational 

attainment; and employment and 

earnings. 

RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES: 

Data in this system will be obtained 

through student records maintained by 

the adult education providers; surveys 

of adult learners, career navigators, and 

adult education site directors; and the 

administrative records of the National 

Student Clearinghouse, high school 

equivalency test vendors, the U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services’ National Directory of New 

Hires, and the Department’s Office of 

Federal Student Aid. 

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. The Department may make 

these disclosures on a case-by-case basis 

or, if the Department has complied with 

the computer matching requirements of 

the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended 

(Privacy Act) (5 U.S.C. 552a), under a 

computer matching agreement. Any 

disclosure of personally identifiable 

information from a record in this system 

must also comply with the requirements 

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

providing for confidentiality standards 

that apply to all collections, reporting, 

and publication of data by IES. Any 

disclosure of personally identifiable 

information from student education 

records that were obtained from school 

districts must also comply with the 

requirements of the Family Educational 

Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 

U.S.C. 1232g; 34 CFR part 99), which 

protects the privacy of student 

education records. 

(1) 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. As part 

of such a contract, the Department will 

require the contractor to agree to 

maintain safeguards to protect the 

security and confidentiality of the 

records in the system. 

(2) Research Disclosure. The 

Department may disclose records to a 

researcher if the Department determines 

that the individual or organization to 

which the disclosure would be made is 

qualified to carry out specific research 

related to the functions or purposes of 

this system of records. The Department 

may disclose records from this system of 

records to that researcher solely for the 

purpose of carrying out that research 

related to the functions or purposes of 

this system of records. The researcher 

must agree to safeguards, consistent 

with section 183(c) of ESRA (20 U.S.C. 

9573(c)), to protect the security and 

confidentiality of the records disclosed 

from this system. If the Department 

discloses personally identifiable 

information from a student’s education 

record covered by FERPA to the 

researcher, the researcher also must 

agree to comply with applicable FERPA 

requirements. 

(3) Obtaining Participants’ Academic 

and Employment Records. The 

Department may disclose records from 

this system of records to the National 

Student Clearinghouse, testing vendors 

for high school equivalency credentials, 

and the U.S. Department of Health and 

Human Services in order to obtain 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
72448 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 202 / Friday, October 20, 2023 / Notices 

participants’ academic and labor 

records. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF

RECORDS: 

The Department maintains secured, 

password-protected records on the IES 

Data Center, and the Department’s 

contractor, Mathematica Policy 

Research, Inc., maintains records for 

this system on the Department’s behalf 

on secured, password-protected 

computer systems and in hard copy 

form until uploaded to the IES Data 

Center. Hard copy records will be kept 

in locked file cabinets during 

nonworking hours and work on hard 

copy records will take place in a single 

room, except for data entry. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF

RECORDS: 

Records in this system are indexed by 

a unique number assigned to each 

individual, which can be crossreferenced when needed (such as for 

data matching) with the separately 

stored direct identifiers. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND

DISPOSAL OF RECORDS: 

The Department has submitted a 

retention and disposition schedule that 

is intended to cover the records 

contained in this system to the National 

Archives and Records Administration 

(NARA) in June 2022 for NARA’s 

review. The records will not be 

destroyed until such a time as NARA 

approves said schedule. 

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL

SAFEGUARDS: 

Security protocols for this system of 

records meet all required security 

standards. All physical access to the 

Department’s site and to the site of the 

Department’s contractor, where this 

system of records is also 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 with the use of 

firewalls, encryption, and password 

protection. This 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 will establish a similar set of 

procedures at its site to ensure the 

confidentiality of data. The contractor’s 

systems are required to ensure that 

personally identifiable information is in 

files physically separated from other 

research data. The contractor will 

maintain security of the complete set of 

all master data files. Access to 

personally identifiable information will 

be strictly controlled. Access to 

information by contractor staff will be 

granted on a need-to-know basis, and 

individual staff’s ability to alter records 

within the system will be controlled. 

Security features that protect project 

data include: password-protected 

accounts that authorize users to use the 

contractor’s system 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; and additional security 

features that the network administrators 

will establish for projects as needed. 

The contractor’s 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).
