system of records. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to subsection (e)(4) 

of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended 

(‘‘Privacy Act’’), 5 U.S.C. 552a, the 

FCC’s Consumer and Governmental 

Affairs Bureau (CGB) proposes to add a 

new system of records, FCC/CGB–3, 

‘‘National Deaf-Blind Equipment 

Distribution Program (NDBEDP).’’ 

Following enactment of the Twenty-First 

Century Communications and Video 

Accessibility Act of 2010 (CVAA) on 

October 8, 2010, the FCC’s Consumer 

and Governmental Affairs Bureau (CGB) 

subsequently issued a Report and Order, 

Implementation of the Twenty-First 

Century Communications and Video 

Accessibility Act of 2010, Section 105, 

Relay Services for Deaf-Blind 

Individuals, on April 6, 2011, which 

adopted rules to establish a National 

Deaf-Blind Equipment Distribution 

Program (NDBEDP) to support the 

distribution of specialized customer 

premises equipment (CPE) and the 

provision of associated services. State 

equipment distribution programs, other 

public programs, and private entities 

may apply to the Commission for 

certification for the state to participate 

in the NDBEDP and receive 

reimbursement for its activities. The 

Commission’s purpose for establishing 

this system of records is for the FCC’s 

Consumer and Governmental Affairs 

Bureau (CGB) to use the information, 

i.e., personally identifiable information 

(PII), that is submitted by the certified 

equipment distribution program in each 

state, as required by the NDBEDP, to 

maintain each state’s certification to 

participate in this program. 

DATES: In accordance with subsections 

(e)(4) and (e)(11) of the Privacy Act, any 

interested person may submit written 

comments concerning this proposed 

new system of records on or before

(OMB), which has oversight 

responsibility under the Privacy Act to 

review the system of records and 

Congress may submit comments on or 

before February 28, 2012. The proposed 

new system of records will become 

effective on February 28, 2012 unless 

the FCC receives comments that require 

a contrary determination. The 

Commission will publish a document in 

the Federal Register notifying the 

public if any changes are necessary. As 

required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) of the 

Privacy Act, the FCC is submitting 

reports on this proposed new system to 

OMB and Congress.

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: 

Information about individuals in this 

system of records may routinely be 

disclosed under the following 

conditions: 

1. Informal Complaints—When a 

record in this system involves a formal 

or informal complaint, and/or inquiry 

filed against an NDBEDP certified 

program and related entities, the 

complaint or inquiry may be forwarded 

to the subject certified program for that 

state, the appropriate State and Federal 

medical boards, certifying associations, 

and related groups, and personal 

physicians (who may determine 

whether an individual meets the 

eligibility criteria for participation in 

the NDBEDP) for a response, as required 

under FCC rules; 

2. Medical Records—A medical 

attestation or record (including but not 

limited to third party attestations, 

certifications, and declarations of 

disability) from this system may be 

disclosed to appropriate entities, 

including but not limited to the subject 

certified program for that state, the 

appropriate State and Federal medical 

boards, certifying associations, and 

related groups, and personal physicians 

for the purposes of determining whether 

an individual meets the eligibility 

criteria of being deaf-blind required to 

participate in the NDBEDP program; 

3. Income Eligibility Records—A 

record from this system may be 

disclosed to appropriate entities, 

including but not limited to the subject 

certified program for that state, the 

appropriate State and Federal certifying 

boards and authorities for the purposes 

of determining whether an individual 

meets the income eligibility criteria 

required to participate in the NDBEDP 

program; 

4. Law Enforcement and 

Investigation—Where there is an 

indication of a violation or potential 

violation of a statute, regulation, rule, or 

order, records from this system may be 

shared with appropriate Federal, State, 

or local authorities either for purposes 

of obtaining additional information 

relevant to a FCC decision or for 

referring the record for investigation, 

enforcement, or prosecution by another 

agency; 

5. Adjudication and Litigation— 

Where by careful review, the Agency 

determines that the records are both 

relevant and necessary to litigation and 

the use of such records is deemed by the 

Agency to be for a purpose that is 

compatible with the purpose for which 

the Agency collected the records, these 

records may be used by a court or 

adjudicative body in a proceeding 

when: (a) The Agency or any component 

thereof; or (b) any employee of the 

Agency in his or her official capacity; or 

(c) any employee of the Agency in his 

or her individual capacity where the 

Agency has agreed to represent the 

employee; or (d) the United States 

Government is a party to litigation or 

has an interest in such litigation; 

6. Department of Justice—A record 

from this system of records may be 

disclosed to the Department of Justice 

(DOJ) or in a proceeding before a court 

or adjudicative body when: 

(a) The United States, the 

Commission, a component of the 

Commission, or, when represented by 

the government, an employee of the 

Commission is a party to litigation or 

anticipated litigation or has an interest 

in such litigation, and 

(b) The Commission determines that 

the disclosure is relevant or necessary to 

the litigation; 

7. Congressional Inquiries—When 

requested by a Congressional office in 

response to an inquiry by an individual 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 12 / Thursday, January 19, 2012 / Notices 2723 

made to the Congressional office for the 

individual’s own records; 

8. Government-wide Program 

Management and Oversight—When 

requested by the General Services 

Administration (GSA), the National 

Archives and Records Administration 

(NARA), and/or the Government 

Accountability Office (GAO) for the 

purpose of records management 

inspections conducted under authority 

of 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906 (such 

disclosure(s) shall not be used to make 

a determination about individuals); 

when the U.S. Department of Justice 

(DOJ) is contacted in order to obtain that 

department’s advice regarding 

disclosure obligations under the 

Freedom of Information Act; or when 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) is contacted in order to obtain 

that office’s advice regarding obligations 

under the Privacy Act; 

9. Breach of Federal Data—A record 

from this system may be disclosed to 

appropriate agencies, entities, and 

persons when (1) The Commission 

suspects or has confirmed that the 

security or confidentiality of 

information in the system of records has 

been compromised; (2) the Commission 

has determined that as a result of the 

suspected or confirmed compromise 

there is a risk of harm to economic or 

property interests, identity theft or 

fraud, or harm to the security or 

integrity of this system or other systems 

or programs (whether maintained by the 

Commission or another agency or entity) 

that rely upon the compromised 

information; and (3) the disclosure 

made to such agencies, entities, and 

persons is reasonably necessary to assist 

in connection with the Commission’s 

efforts to respond to the suspected or 

confirmed compromise and prevent, 

minimize, or remedy such harm; and 

10. FCC Enforcement Actions—When 

a record in this system involves a formal 

and/or informal complaint or inquiry 

filed alleging a violation of FCC Rules 

and Regulations by an applicant, 

licensee, certified or regulated entity or 

an unlicensed person or entity, the 

complaint may be provided to the 

alleged violator for a response. When an 

order or other Commission-issued 

document that includes consideration of 

a formal or informal complaint or 

complaints or inquiries is issued by the 

FCC to implement or to enforce FCC 

Rules and Regulations, the 

complainant’s name or other PII may be 

made public in that order or document. 

Where a complainant in filing his or her 

complaint explicitly requests 

confidentiality of his or her name or 

other PII from public disclosure, the 

Commission will endeavor to protect 

such information from public 

disclosure. Complaints that contain 

requests for confidentiality may be 

dismissed if the Commission determines 

that the request impedes the 

Commission’s ability to investigate and/ 

or resolve the complaint. 

In each of these cases, the FCC will 

determine whether disclosure of the 

records is compatible with the purpose 

for which the records were collected.
