###### National Aeronautics and Space Administration

          - [Notice (15-012)]

# AGENCY:

National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA.

# ACTION:

Notice of proposed revisions to existing Privacy Act systems of records.

# SUMMARY:

                        Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is issuing public notice of its proposal to significantly alter a previously noticed system of records NASA Education System Records/NASA 10EDUA. This notice further clarifies and somewhat broadens this system of records under a new system name and number, as set forth below under the caption                         **SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION**                        .                    

# DATES:

Submit comments within 30 calendar days from the date of this publication. The changes will take effect at the end of that period, if no adverse comments are received.

# ADDRESSES:

                        Patti F. Stockman, Privacy Act Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer, National Aeronautics and Space Administration Headquarters, Washington, DC 20546-0001, (202) 358-4787,                         *NASA-PAOfficer@nasa.gov.*

# FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

                        NASA Privacy Act Officer, Patti F. Stockman, (202) 358-4787,                         *NASA-PAOfficer@nasa.gov.*

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

This system notice includes both minor and substantial revisions. The location of records is expanded to include NASA partner locations. Both the categories of individuals and of records in the system are expanded for greater clarity. Routine uses have been refined to be more specific and eliminate duplication with NASA's Standard Routine Uses. System policies for records storage have been expanded to include paper as well as electronic storage, and the retention and disposal procedures have been updated to reflect the applicable retention schedule.

This revision significantly expands safeguards to provide a more thorough description of electronic safeguards employed and also addresses safeguards required of NASA partners managing records in this system of records.

The system manager information is updated and record source categories clarified. For completion, the notice includes the fact that there are no exemptions claimed for the system.

Larry N. Sweet,

NASA Chief Information Officer.
