60870 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 191 / Wednesday, October 2, 2013 / Notices 

Records may also be disclosed to 

another Federal agency (a) with an 

interest in an agency record in 

connection with a referral of a Freedom 

of Information Act (FOIA) request to 

that agency for its views or decision on 

disclosure or (b) in order to obtain 

advice and recommendations 

concerning matters on which the agency 

has specialized experience or particular 

competence that may be useful to 

agencies in making required 

determinations under FOIA. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, 

RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND

DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

STORAGE: 

FDMS security protocols meet all 

required security standards issued by 

the National Institute of Science and 

Technology (NIST). Records in FDMS 

are maintained in a secure, password 

protected electronic system that utilizes 

security hardware and software to 

include multiple firewalls, active 

intruder detection, and role-based 

access controls. Additional safeguards 

will vary by agency. 

RETRIEVABILITY: 

The system has the ability to retrieve 

records by numerous data elements and 

key word searches, including name, 

agency, dates, subject, docket type, 

docket sub-type, agency docket ID, 

docket title, docket category, document 

type, CFR Part, date received and 

Federal Register publication date, FOIA 

tracking number and other information 

retrievable with full-text searching 

capability. 

ACCESSING: 

The public may access regulatory 

records in the system at 

www.regulations.gov and FOIA records 

at https://foiaonline.regulations.gov. 

SAFEGUARDS: 

FDMS security protocols meet 

multiple NIST security standards from 

authentication to certification and 

accreditation. Records in the system are 

maintained in a secure, password 

protected electronic system that utilizes 

security hardware and software to 

include multiple firewalls, active 

intruder detection, and role-based 

access controls. Additional safeguards 

vary by agency for the regulatory 

records. Security controls are 

commensurate with those required for 

an information system rated moderate 

for confidentiality, integrity and 

availability as prescribed by NIST. 

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: 

Each Federal agency handles its 

records in accordance with its records 

schedule as approved by the National 

Archives and Records Administration 

(NARA). FOIA records are covered 

under NARA General Record Schedule 

14—Information Services Records 

unless a participating agency’s records 

are managed under other record 

schedules approved by NARA.

a record about him or her, who wants 

access to his or her record, or who 

wants to contest the contents of a 

record, should contact the agency 

conducting the rulemaking activity or to 

the agency that provided the FOIA 

response, as appropriate. 

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURE: 

Individuals seeking access to their 

own personal information in this system 

of records is required to provide 

adequate identification (e.g., driver’s 

license, military identification card, 

employee badge or identification card 

and, if necessary, proof of authority). 

Additional identity verification 

procedures may be required as 

warranted. Requests must meet the 

requirements of EPA regulations at 40 

CFR part 16. 

CONTESTING RECORDS PROCEDURES: 

Requests for correction or amendment 

must identify the record to be changed 

and the corrective action sought. 

Requests must be submitted to the 

agency contact indicated on the initial 

document for which the related 

contested record was submitted. 

RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES: 

Records deriving for individuals 

commenting on Federal rulemaking 

activities and filing FOIA requests and 

appeals.
