BILLING CODE 4160–01–F

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

HUMAN SERVICES

Health Care Financing Administration

Privacy Act of 1974; Report of New

System

AGENCY: Health Care Financing,

Department of Health and Human

Services (HHS), Administration (HCFA).

ACTION: Notice of New System of

Records.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974,

we are proposing to establish a new

system of records, ‘‘Record of

Individuals Allowed Regular and

Special Parking Privileges at the HCFA

Building (PRKG), HHS/HCFA/OICS,

System No. 09–70–3004.’’ PRKG will be

used as part of our building security

plan. All Federal employees will be

issued parking permits by HCFA to

provide regular or special parking based

on specific needs.

The primary purpose of the system of

records is to issue parking permits for

the HCFA complex at 7500 Security

Boulevard, Baltimore, Maryland.

Information retrieved from this system

of records will also be used to support

regulatory and policy activities

performed within the agency or by a

contractor or consultant; support

constituent requests made to a

Congressional representative; and to

support litigation involving the agency

related to this system of records. We

have provided background information

about the proposed system in the

‘‘Supplementary Information’’ section

below. Although the Privacy Act

requires only that HCFA provide an

opportunity for interested persons to

comment on the proposed routine uses,

HCFA invites comments on all portions

of this notice. See ‘‘Effective Dates’’

section for comment period.

EFFECTIVE DATES: HCFA filed a new

system report with the Chair of the

House Committee on Government

Reform and Oversight, the Chair of the

Senate Committee on Governmental

Affairs, and the Administrator, Office of

Information and Regulatory Affairs,

Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) on September 20, 2000. To

ensure that all parties have adequate

time in which to comment, the new

system of records, including routine

uses, will become effective 40 days from

the publication of the notice, or from the

date it was submitted to OMB and the

Congress, whichever is later, unless

HCFA receives comments that require

alterations to this notice.

ADDRESSES: The public should address

comments to: Director, Division of Data

Liaison and Distribution (DDLD), HCFA,

Room N2–04–27, 7500 Security

Boulevard, Baltimore, Maryland 21244–

1850. Comments received will be

available for review at this location, by

appointment, during regular business

hours, Monday through Friday from 9

a.m.–3 p.m., eastern time zone.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.

Kris Zaruba, Division of Facilities

Management Services, Administrative

Services Group, Office of Internal

Customer Support, HCFA, 7500 Security

Boulevard, SLL–11–08, Baltimore,

Maryland 21244–1850. The telephone

number is 410–786–0837.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Description of the New System of

Records

Statutory and Regulatory Basis for

System of Records

HCFA proposes a new system of

records collecting data under the

authority of 5 U.S.C. 301.

II. Collection and Maintenance of Data

in the System.

A. Scope of the Data Collected

The collected information on all

HCFA employees and non-HCFA

employees who require parking

privileges at HCFA buildings, will

contain name, social security number,

parking permit number, telephone

number, work location, position, title

and grade, supervisor’s name and

telephone number and background

information relating to medical or

specific parking needs.

B. Agency Policies, Procedures, and

Restrictions on the Routine Use

The Privacy Act permits disclosure of

information without an individual’s

consent if the information is to be used

for a purpose, which is compatible with

the purpose(s) for which the

information was collected. Any such

disclosure of data is known as a

‘‘routine use.’’ The government will

only release PRKG information as

provided for under ‘‘Section III. Entities

Who May Receive Disclosures Under

Routine Use.’’

We will only disclose the minimum

personal data necessary to achieve the

purpose of PRKG. HCFA has the

following policies and procedures

concerning disclosures of information,

which will be maintained in the system.

In general, disclosure of information

from the system of records will be

approved only to the extent necessary to

accomplish the purpose of the

disclosure and only after HCFA:

(a) Determines that the use or

disclosure is consistent with the reason

data is being collected; e.g., implements

the regulations and directives that

established that Federal workers and

other authorized personnel will be

issued parking permits for the HCFA

complex.

(b) Determines:

(1) That the purpose for which the

disclosure is to be made can only be

accomplished if the record is provided

in individually identifiable form;

(2) That the purpose for which the

disclosure is to be made is of sufficient

importance to warrant the effect and/or

risk on the privacy of the individual that

additional exposure of the record might

bring; and

(3) That there is a strong probability

that the proposed use of the data would

in fact accomplish the stated purpose(s).

(c) Requires the information recipient

to:

(1) Establish administrative, technical,

and physical safeguards to prevent

unauthorized use of disclosure of the

record;

(2) Remove or destroy at the earliest

time all individually-identifiable

information; and

(3) Agree to not use or disclose the

information for any purpose other than

the stated purpose under which the

information was disclosed.

(d) Determines that the data are valid

and reliable.

III. Proposed Routine Use Disclosures

of Data in the System

Entities Who May Receive Disclosures

Under Routine Use

The routine use disclosures in this

system may occur only to the following

59194 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 193 / Wednesday, October 4, 2000 / Notices

three (3) categories of entities (i.e., the

entities, which can get identifiable data

only if we apply the policies and

procedures in Section II.B. above).

Disclosures may be made:

1. To agency contractors, or

consultants who have been engaged by

the agency to assist in the performance

of a service related to this system of

records and who need to have access to

the records in order to perform the

activity.

We contemplate disclosing

information under this routine use only

in situations in which HCFA may enter

into a contract or similar agreement

with a third party to assist in

accomplishing HCFA activities relating

to purposes for this system of records.

HCFA occasionally contracts out

certain of its activities when this would

contribute to effective and efficient

operations. HCFA must be able to give

a contractor or consultant whatever

information is necessary for the

contractor or consultant to fulfill its

duties. In these situations, safeguards

are provided in the contract prohibiting

the contractor or consultant from using

or disclosing the information for any

purpose other than that described in the

contract and to return or destroy all

information at the completion of the

contract.

2. To a member of Congress or to a

Congressional staff member in response

to an inquiry of the Congressional Office

made at the written request of the

constituent about whom the record is

maintained.

Constituents may request the help of

a Member of Congress in resolving some

issue relating to a matter before HCFA.

The Member of Congress then writes

HCFA, and HCFA must be able to give

sufficient information to be responsive

to the inquiry.

3. To the Department of Justice (DOJ),

court or adjudicatory body 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

DOJ has agreed to represent the

employee, or

(d) The United States Government is

a party to litigation or has an interest in

such litigation, and by careful review,

HCFA determines that the records are

both relevant and necessary to the

litigation.

Whenever HCFA is involved in

litigation, or occasionally when another

party is involved in litigation and

HCFA’s policies or operations could be

affected by the outcome of the litigation,

HCFA would be able to disclose

information to the DOJ, court or

adjudicatory body involved. A

determination would be made in each

instance that, under the circumstances

involved, the records are both relevant

and necessary to the litigation.

IV. Safeguards

A. Authorized Users

Personnel having access to the system

have been trained in Privacy Act

requirements. Employees who maintain

records in the system are instructed not

to release any data until the intended

recipient agrees to implement

appropriate administrative, technical,

procedural, and physical safeguards

sufficient to protect the confidentiality

of the data and to prevent unauthorized

access to the data. Records are used in

a designated work area or workstation

and the system location is attended at

all times during working hours.

To ensure security of the data, the

proper level of class user is assigned for

each individual user. This prevents

unauthorized users from accessing and

modifying critical data. The system

database configuration includes five

classes of database users:

• Database Administrator class owns

the database objects; e.g., tables, triggers,

indexes, stored procedures, packages,

and has database administration

privileges to these objects;

• Quality Control Administrator class

has read and write access to key fields

in the database;

• Quality Indicator Report Generator

class has read-only access to all fields

and tables;

• Policy Research class has query

access to tables, but are not allowed to

access confidential patient

identification information; and

• Submitter class has read and write

access to database objects, but no

database administration privileges.

B. Physical Safeguards

All server sites have implemented the

following minimum requirements to

assist in reducing the exposure of

computer equipment and thus achieve

an optimum level of protection and

security for the PRKG system:

Access to all servers is controlled,

with access limited to only those

support personnel with a demonstrated

need for access. Servers are to be kept

in a locked room accessible only by

specified management and system

support personnel. Each server requires

a specific log-on process. All entrance

doors are identified and marked. A log

is kept of all personnel who were issued

a security card, key and/or combination,

which grants access to the room housing

the server, and all visitors are escorted

while in this room. All servers are

housed in an area where appropriate

environmental security controls are

implemented, which include measures

implemented to mitigate damage to

Automated Information System (AIS)

resources caused by fire, electricity,

water and inadequate climate controls.

Protection applied to the

workstations, servers and databases

include:

• User Log-on—Authentication is

performed by the Primary Domain

Controller/Backup Domain Controller of

the log-on domain.

• Workstation Names—Workstation

naming conventions may be defined and

implemented at the agency level.

• Hours of Operation—May be

restricted by Windows NT. When

activated all applicable processes will

automatically shut down at a specific

time and not be permitted to resume

until the predetermined time. The

appropriate hours of operation are

determined and implemented at the

agency level.

• Inactivity Log-out—Access to the

NT workstation is automatically logged

out after a specified period of inactivity.

• Warnings—Legal notices and

security warnings display on all servers

and workstations.

• Remote Access Services (RAS)—

Windows NT RAS security handles

resource access control. Access to NT

resources is controlled for remote users

in the same manner as local users, by

utilizing Windows NT file and sharing

permissions. Dial-in access can be

granted or restricted on a user-by-user

basis through the Windows NT RAS

administration tool.

There are several levels of security

found in the PRKG system. Windows

NT provides much of the overall system

security. The Windows NT security

model is designed to meet the C2-level

criteria as defined by the U.S.

Department of Defense’s Trusted

Computer System Evaluation Criteria

document (DoD 5200.28–STD,

December 1985). Netscape Enterprise

Server is the security mechanism for all

PRKG transmission connections to the

system. As a result, Netscape controls

all PRKG information access requests.

Anti-virus software is applied at both

the workstation and NT server levels.

Access to different areas on the

Windows NT server are maintained

through the use of file, directory and

share level permissions. These different

levels of access control provide security

that is managed at the user and group

level within the NT domain. The file

and directory level access controls rely

on the presence of an NT File System

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 193 / Wednesday, October 4, 2000 / Notices 59195

(NTFS) hard drive partition. This

provides the most robust security and is

tied directly to the file system. Windows

NT security is applied at both the

workstation and NT server levels.

C. Procedural Safeguards

All automated systems must comply

with Federal laws, guidance, and

policies for information systems

security. These include, but are not

limited to: the Privacy Act of 1974; the

Computer Security Act of 1987; OMB

Circular A–130, revised; HHS,

Information Resource Management

(IRM) Circular #10; HHS Automated

Information Systems Security Program;

the HCFA Information Systems Security

Policy and Program Handbook; and

other HCFA systems security policies.

Each automated information system

should ensure a level of security

commensurate with the level of

sensitivity of the data, risk, and

magnitude of the harm that may result

from the loss, misuse, disclosure, or

modification of the information

contained in the system.

V. Effect of the Proposed System of

Records on Individual Rights

HCFA proposes to establish this

system in accordance with the

principles and requirements of the

Privacy Act and will collect, use, and

disseminate information only as

prescribed therein. Data in this system

will be subject to the authorized releases

in accordance with the routine uses

identified in this system of records.

HCFA will monitor the collection and

reporting of PRKG data. HCFA will take

precautionary measures (see item IV.

above) to minimize the risks of

unauthorized access to the records and

the potential harm to individual privacy

or other personal or property rights.

HCFA will collect only that information

necessary to perform the system’s

activities. In addition, HCFA will make

disclosure from the proposed system

only with consent of the subject

individual, or his/her legal

representative, or in accordance with an

applicable exception provision of the

Privacy Act.

HCFA, therefore, does not anticipate

an unfavorable effect on individual

privacy as a result of maintaining this

system.
