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.

**NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE :** 

Any individual who wants to know whether this system of records contains 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.
