was given the opportunity to contribute 

to the formulation of the application. 

Executive Order 12866 

This notice of proposed priorities has 

been reviewed in accordance with 

Executive Order 12866. Under the terms 

of the order, we have assessed the 

potential costs and benefits of this 

regulatory action. 

The potential costs associated with 

this regulatory action are those resulting 

from statutory and regulatory 

requirements and those we have 

determined as necessary for 

administering this program effectively 

and efficiently. 

In assessing the potential costs and 

benefits—both quantitative and 

qualitative—of this regulatory action, 

we have determined that the benefits of 

the proposed regulatory action justify 

the costs. 

We have also determined that this 

regulatory action does not unduly 

interfere with State, local, and tribal 

governments in the exercise of their 

governmental functions. 

Intergovernmental Review 

This program is subject to Executive 

Order 12372 and the regulations in 34 

CFR part 79. One of the objectives of the 

Executive Order is to foster an 

intergovernmental partnership and a 

strengthened federalism. The Executive 

Order relies on processes developed by 

State and local governments for 

coordination and review of proposed 

Federal financial assistance. 

This document provides early 

notification of our specific plans and 

actions for this program.

BILLING CODE 4000–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records—Impact Evaluation of 

Mandatory-Random Student Drug 

Testing 

AGENCY: Institute of Education Sciences, 

Department of Education. 

ACTION: Notice of a new system of 

records. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Privacy Act of 1974, as amended 

(Privacy Act), the Department of 

Education (Department) publishes this 

notice of a new system of records 

entitled ‘‘Impact Evaluation of 

Mandatory-Random Student Drug 

Testing’’ (18–13–16). This evaluation 

was commissioned by the National 

Center for Education Evaluation and 

Regional Assistance at the Department’s 

Institute of Education Sciences (IES). It 

will be conducted under a contract that 

was awarded by IES in July 2005. IES 

has been collaborating with the 

Department’s Office of Safe and DrugFree Schools (OSDFS) to coordinate the 

study of mandatory-random drug testing 

interventions in schools. 

The study will address the following 

questions: 

(1) Do high school students who are 

subject to mandatory-random drug 

testing (e.g., athletes, participants in 

competitive extra-curricular activities, 

etc.) report less use of tobacco, alcohol, 

and illicit substances compared to 

comparable students in high schools 

without mandatory-random drug testing 

policies? 

(2) Do students in high schools with 

mandatory-random drug testing 

policies, but who are not subject to such 

testing (e.g., non-athletes, students who 

do not participate in competitive extracurricular activities, etc.), report less use 

of tobacco, alcohol, and illicit 

substances compared to comparable 

students in high schools without 

mandatory-random drug testing 

policies? 

The system will contain information 

about two cohorts of approximately 200 

high school students in 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 the purposes of this 

evaluation. The total number of high 

school students included in this system 

of records will be approximately 10,400 

for each of school years 2006–07 and 

2007–08. The 52 participating high 

schools will be from school districts that 

are recipients of the Mandatory-Random 

Drug Testing Program grants that were 

announced in September 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, educational background; 

and attitudes and beliefs concerning 

substance use, and substance use itself. 

DATES: The Department seeks comment 

on the new system of records described 

in this notice, in accordance with the 

requirements of the Privacy Act. We 

must receive your comments on the 

proposed routine uses for the system of 

records referenced in this notice on or 

before April 30, 2007. 

The Department filed a report 

describing the new system of records 

covered by this notice with the Chair of 

the Senate Committee on Homeland 

Security and Governmental Affairs, the 

Chair of the House Committee on 

Oversight and Government Reform, and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Introduction 

The Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) 

requires the Department to publish in 

the Federal Register this notice of a new 

system of records maintained by the 

Department. The Department’s 

regulations implementing the Privacy 

Act are contained in part 5b of title 34 

of the Code of Federal Regulations 

(CFR). 

The Privacy Act applies to 

information about individuals that 

contains individually identifiable 

information and that is retrieved by a 

unique identifier associated with each 

individual, such as a name or social 

security number. The information about 

each individual is called a ‘‘record,’’

and the system, whether manual or 

computer-based, is called a ‘‘system of 

records.’’ The Privacy Act requires each 

agency to publish notices of systems of 

records in the Federal Register and to 

prepare reports to the OMB and 

Congress whenever the agency 

publishes a new system of records. Each 

agency is also required to send copies of 

the report to the Chair of the Senate 

Committee on Homeland Security and 

Governmental Affairs and the Chair of 

the House Committee on Oversight and 

Government Reform. These reports are 

intended to permit an evaluation of the 

probable effect of the proposal on the 

privacy rights of individuals.

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM: 

This system contains records on high 

school students attending a high school 

in school districts that receive grants for 

School-Based Student Drug-Testing 

Programs. The goal of this study is to 

determine if students in high schools 

with mandatory-random drug testing 

policies report less use of tobacco, 

alcohol, and illicit substances compared 

to comparable students in high schools 

without mandatory-random student 

drug testing policies. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

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 for 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 September, 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, educational background; 

and attitudes and beliefs concerning 

substance use, and substance use itself. 

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

The evaluation being conducted is 

authorized under sections 171(b) and 

173 of the Education Sciences Reform 

Act of 2002 (ESRA) (20 U.S.C. 9561(b) 

and 9563). The grants for School-Based 

Student Drug-Testing Programs are 

authorized under section 4121 of the 

Elementary and Secondary Education 

Act of 1965, as amended (20 U.S.C. 

7131). 

PURPOSE(S): 

The information in this system is used 

for the following purposes: To study the 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 61 / Friday, March 30, 2007 / Notices 15131 

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).
