BILLING CODE 8010–01–P 

SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION 

Privacy Act of 1974, as Amended; 

Proposed Alteration to Existing 

System of Records, New Routine Use, 

and General Housekeeping Changes 

AGENCY: Social Security Administration 

(SSA). 

ACTION: Proposed altered system of 

records, new routine use, and general 

housekeeping changes. 

SUMMARY: We are issuing public notice 

of our intent to alter, add a new routine 

use, and make minor housekeeping 

changes to an existing system of records 

in accordance with the Privacy Act (5 

U.S.C. 552a(e)(4)) and (e)(11). The 

affected system of records is the 

Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Working 

File on Claimant Cases (60–0005), 

hereinafter referred to as the ALJ 

Working File. The proposed alterations 

will result in the following changes: 

• Expansion of the purpose of the 

system of records to include the 

electronic internal working file of the 

administrative law judges in the hearing 

offices. This working file is accessed 

primarily by hearing office personnel 

viewing documents stored in the Private 

Section of eView, an electronic 

interface. 

• Inclusion of our data protection 

routine use that provides for the release 

of information in the event of an 

unauthorized release of personally 

identifiable information. We published 

this routine use in the Federal Register 

on December 10, 2007 (72 FR 69723); 

and 

• Updates of various cited Federal 

Government regulations and minor 

editing, including correcting 

miscellaneous and stylistic format 

errors. 

The proposed alteration, new routine 

use, and housekeeping changes are 

discussed in the SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION section below. We invite 

public comments on this proposal. 

DATES: We filed a report of the proposed 

altered system of records and added 

routine use with the Chairman of the 

Senate Committee on Homeland 

Security and Governmental Affairs, the 

Chairman of the House Committee on 

Government Reform, and the Director, 

Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs, Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) on April 23, 2009. The 

proposed altered system of records will 

become effective on June 1, 2009, unless 

we receive comments before that date 

that would result in a contrary 

determination. 

ADDRESSES: Interested individuals may 

comment on this publication by writing 

to the Deputy Executive Director, Office 

of Privacy and Disclosure, Office of the 

General Counsel, Social Security 

Administration, 3–A–6 Operations 

Building, 6401 Security Boulevard, 

Baltimore, Maryland 21235–6401. All 

comments received will be available for 

public inspection at the above address.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background and Purpose of the 

Proposed Alteration and New Routine 

Use for the ALJ Working File 

A. General Background Relating to the 

Proposed Alteration 

Under Titles II and XVI of the Social 

Security Act, an individual who has 

received a Federal reviewing official 

decision, a prototype process 

determination, or a reconsideration 

determination on a claim for benefits 

has a right to a hearing before an ALJ. 

In the past, hearing offices kept their 

records in paper form. New technology 

will allow us to store information 

electronically and, therefore, we need to 

update this system of records to reflect 

the change. As a result, records in this 

system may be in paper and electronic 

media formats. 

B. Discussion of Proposed Alteration to 

the ALJ Working File 

During the course of adjudicating a 

claim at the hearing level, ALJs and 

members of their staffs often create 

notes and instructions regarding the 

evidence, testimony, legal theories, 

merits of the case, and opinions and 

advice about a case. While there may be 

both electronic and paper records 

gathered and maintained in the ALJ 

Working File, this system covers any 

documents maintained electronically, 

such as any documents viewed in the 

Private Section of eView. eView is the 

interface that allows authorized users to 

view documents stored electronically. 

This Private Section is accessible only 

to authorized SSA staff. Additionally, 

this proposed alteration provides that 

any movement of the paper-based 

records in the ALJ Working File to the 

new electronic environment does not 

affect: 


pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
19618 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 81 / Wednesday, April 29, 2009 / Notices 

—The categories of individuals covered 

by or categories of records contained 

in this system; 

—The purpose, storage, retrieval, or 

notification policies; and 

—The existing routine uses of 

information contained in this system. 

Maintaining information in the Private 

Section ensures that the information 

will not be integrated or intermingled 

with other information contained in the 

electronic environment. 

Some of the documents are compiled 

in anticipation of litigation and, thus, 

may be exempt from the access 

provisions of the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 

552a(d)(5)). We review requests for 

access under the Freedom of 

Information Act and as described in the 

Social Security Ruling, SSR 92–1p: 

Policy Interpretation Ruling: Request 

Under the Privacy Act or the Freedom 

of Information Act for Access to Records 

and for Disclosure of Material 

Maintained by the Office of Hearings 

and Appeals. 

C. Discussion of New Routine Use 

As recommended by the President’s 

Identity Theft Task Force, as mandated 

by the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) in Memorandum M–07– 

16, and in accordance with the Privacy 

Act (5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) and (11)), we 

established a routine use disclosure that 

specifically permits the disclosure of 

SSA information in connection with 

response and remediation efforts in the 

event of an unintentional release of 

agency information, otherwise known as 

a ‘‘data security breach.’’ Such a routine 

use serves to protect the interests of the 

people whose information is at risk by 

allowing the agency to take appropriate 

steps to facilitate a timely and effective 

response to a data breach. (For more 

information, please see: Federal 

Register (Vol. 72, No. 236) Monday, 

December 10, 2007.) 

II. Records Storage Medium and 

Safeguards for the Information 

Maintained in the Proposed Altered 

ALJ Working File System of Records 

The proposed altered ALJ Working 

File system of records will maintain 

information in electronic and paper 

form. We permit only authorized 

personnel who have a need for the 

information in the performance of their 

official duties to access the information. 

Security measures include the use of 

access codes to enter the computer 

system that will maintain the data, and 

storage of the computerized records in 

secured areas that are accessible only to 

employees who require the information 

in performing their official duties. Any 

related records maintained in paper files 

are kept in locked cabinets or in 

otherwise secure areas. 

III. Effects of the Proposed Alteration 

and New Routine Use Disclosure to the 

ALJ Working File System of Records on 

the Rights of Individuals 

A. Discussion Relating to the Proposed 

Alteration 

The proposed alteration to the ALJ 

Working File system of records pertains 

to our responsibilities in continuing to 

expand the record storage medium to 

accommodate increasing demand to 

maintain records in electronic form. We 

will adhere to all applicable statutory 

requirements, including those under the 

Social Security Act and the Privacy Act, 

in carrying out our responsibilities. 

Therefore, we do not anticipate that the 

proposed alteration to these systems 

will have an unwarranted adverse effect 

on the rights of individuals. 

B. Discussion Relating to the Added 

Routine Use 

The new routine use would serve to 

protect the interests of persons whose 

information could be at risk. We would 

take appropriate steps to facilitate a 

timely and effective response to a 

security breach of our data, thereby 

improving our ability to prevent, 

minimize, or remedy any harm that may 

result from a compromise of data 

maintained in our systems of records. 

We do not anticipate that the new 

routine use will have any unwarranted 

adverse effect on the rights of persons 

about whom data might be disclosed. 

IV. Compatibility of Proposed Routine 

Use 

As mandated by OMB, as 

recommended by the President’s 

Identity Theft Task Force, and in 

accordance with the Privacy Act (5 

U.S.C. 552a(a)(7) and (b)(3)) and our 

disclosure regulation (20 CFR part 401), 

we are permitted to release information 

under a published routine use for a 

purpose that is compatible with the 

purpose for which we collected the 

information. Section 401.120 of our 

regulations provides that we will 

disclose information required by law. 

Because OMB has mandated the 

publication of this routine use, the 

proposed routine use is appropriate and 

meets the relevant statutory and 

regulatory criteria. In addition, 

disclosures to other agencies, entities, 

and persons when needed to respond to 

an unintentional release are compatible 

with the reasons we collect the 

information, as helping to prevent and 

minimize the potential for harm is 

consistent with taking appropriate steps 

to protect information entrusted to us. 

See 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(10). 

V. Minor Housekeeping Changes in the 

Proposed Altered ALJ Working File 

System of Records 

We are doing some minor editing, 

including correcting miscellaneous 

stylistic and formatting errors. 

Dated: April 23, 2009.

Commissioner. 

Social Security Administration Notice of 

Altered System of Records Required by 

the Privacy Act of 1974, as Amended 

SYSTEM NUMBER: 

60–0005. 

SYSTEM NAME: 

Administrative Law Judge Working 

File on Claimant Cases, Social Security 

Administration (SSA), Office of 

Disability Adjudication and Review 

(ODAR). 

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: 

None. 

SYSTEM LOCATION: 

SSA, ODAR, Local hearing offices. 

Access Social Security Administration’s 

Internet Web site: http://

address information. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM: 

Claimants—Title II (Retirement and 

Survivors Insurance (RSI), and 

Disability Insurance (DI)); Title XI 

(claimants subject to Professional 

Standards Review); Title XVI 

(Supplemental Security Income (SSI)). 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

We establish these files in the hearing 

office as a record of actions taken on 

each particular case. The file may 

contain copies of various documents 

such as the Notice of Hearing; Decision 

on Dismissal; the Exhibit List when one 

is prepared; a copy of congressional 

inquiries and responses thereto; as well 

as copies of post-adjudicative material 

received and any responses made. 

Official copies of these materials are

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

Sections 205 and 1631(d)(1) of the 

Social Security Act, as amended. 


pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 81 / Wednesday, April 29, 2009 / Notices 19619 

PURPOSE(S): 

We use the records in this system of 

records to reference the actions we take 

in a particular case at the hearing level. 

For example, during the course of 

adjudicating the claim at the hearing 

level, ALJs and members of their staffs 

often construct documents for only 

internal purposes regarding the 

evidence, testimony, legal theories, 

merits of the case, and opinions and 

advice regarding other factors involved 

in the case. While there may be both 

electronic and paper records in the ALJ 

Working File, this system covers any 

documents that are gathered, 

maintained, and viewed electronically 

in the Private Section of eView. eView 

is the interface that allows authorized 

users to view documents stored 

electronically. The Private Section is 

accessible only to authorized SSA staff. 

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM OF RECORDS, INCLUDING CATEGORIES

OF USERS AND THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USE: 

Routine use disclosures are as 

indicated below; however, any 

information defined as ‘‘return or return 

information’’ under 26 U.S.C. 6103 of 

the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) will not 

be disclosed unless authorized by the 

IRC, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), 

or IRS regulations. 

1. To a congressional office in 

response to an inquiry from that office 

made at the request of the subject of a 

record. 

2. To the Department of Justice (DOJ), 

a court or other tribunal, or another 

party before such tribunal when: 

(a) SSA or any component thereof; or 

(b) any SSA employee in his or her 

official capacity; or 

(c) any SSA employee in his or her 

individual capacity where DOJ (or SSA 

where it is authorized to do so) has 

agreed to represent the employee; or 

(d) the United States or any agency 

thereof where SSA determines that the 

litigation is likely to affect the 

operations of SSA or any of its 

components; 

is a party to litigation or has an 

interest in such litigation, and SSA 

determines that the use of such records 

by DOJ, the court or other tribunal, or 

another party before such tribunal is 

relevant and necessary to the litigation, 

provided, however, that in each case, 

SSA determines that such disclosure is 

compatible with the purpose for which 

the records were collected. 

3. To IRS, as necessary, for the 

purpose of auditing SSA’s compliance 

with safeguard provisions of the IRC, as 

amended. 

4. To contractors and other Federal 

agencies, as necessary, for the purpose 

of assisting SSA in the efficient 

administration of its programs. We 

contemplate disclosing information 

under this routine use only in situations 

in which SSA may enter into a 

contractual or similar agreement with a 

third party to assist in accomplishing an 

agency function relating to this system 

of records. 

5. To the General Services 

Administration (GSA) and the National 

Archives and Records Administration 

(NARA) under 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906, 

as amended by the NARA Act, for the 

use of those agencies in conducting 

records management studies. 

6. To student volunteers and other 

workers, who technically do not have 

the status of Federal employees, when 

they are performing work for SSA as 

authorized by law, and they need access 

to personally identifiable information in 

SSA records in order to perform their 

assigned agency functions. 

7. To Federal, State, and local law 

enforcement agencies and private 

security contractors, as appropriate, if 

information is necessary: 

(a) To enable them to protect the 

safety of SSA employees and customers, 

the security of the SSA workplace, and 

the operation of SSA facilities; or 

(b) To assist investigations or 

prosecutions with respect to activities 

that affect such safety and security or 

activities that disrupts the operation of 

SSA facilities. 

8. To the appropriate Federal, State, 

and local agencies, entities, and persons 

when (1) we suspect or confirm that the 

security or confidentiality of 

information in this system of records 

has been compromised; (2) we 

determine 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 of SSA that rely upon the 

compromised information; and (3) we 

determine that disclosing the 

information to such agencies, entities, 

and persons is necessary to assist in our 

efforts to respond to the suspected or 

confirmed compromise and prevent, 

minimize, or remedy such harm. SSA 

will use this routine use to respond only 

to those incidents involving an 

unintentional release of our records. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, 

RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND

DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

STORAGE: 

We maintain and store records in this 

system in paper and in electronic form. 

RETRIEVABILITY: 

We retrieve records by Social Security 

number (SSN) or name. 

SAFEGUARDS: 

We will store the records in the ALJ 

Working File system of records in 

electronic media (e.g., computer data 

systems) and in paper forms. We permit 

only authorized SSA personnel who 

have a need for the information in the 

performance of their official duties to 

access the information. Security 

measures include the use of access 

codes (personal identification number 

(PIN) and password) to enter our 

computer systems that house the data. 

Additionally, we give all of our 

employees and our contract employees 

annual reminders of the need to protect 

personal information to which they 

have access for official purposes and 

remind them of the criminal penalties 

that apply to unauthorized access to, or 

disclosure of, personal information. See 

5 U.S.C. 552a(i)(1). 

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: 

We will destroy electronic and paper 

records by deleting them 2 years after 

the final action is taken. 

SYSTEM MANAGER(S) AND ADDRESS: 

Deputy Commissioner, Office of 

Disability Adjudication and Review, 

Social Security Administration, 5107 

Leesburg Pike, Falls Church, VA 22041. 

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES: 

A person can determine if this system 

contains a record about them by writing 

to the hearing office (access http:// 

www.socialsecurity.gov/foia/bluebook/ 

app_f.htm for address information). 

Persons can also determine if this 

system contains a record about them by 

writing to the system manager(s) at the 

above address and providing their 

name, SSN, or other information that 

may be in the system of records that will 

identify them. Persons requesting 

notification of records in person should 

provide the same information, as well as 

provide an identity document, 

preferably with a photograph, such as a 

driver’s license or some other means of 

identification, such as voter registration 

card, etc. Persons lacking identification 

documents sufficient to establish their 

identity must certify in writing that they 

are the person they claimed to be and 

that they understand that the knowing 

and willful request for, or acquisition of, 

a record pertaining to another person 

under false pretenses is a criminal 

offense. 

Persons requesting notification by 

telephone must verify their identity by 

providing identifying information that 


pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
19620 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 81 / Wednesday, April 29, 2009 / Notices 

parallels the information in the record 

to which notification is being requested. 

If we determine that the identifying 

information the person provides by 

telephone is insufficient, the person will 

be required to submit a request in 

writing or in person. If a person requests 

information by telephone on behalf of 

another individual, the subject person 

must be on the telephone with the 

requesting person and us in the same 

phone call. We will establish the subject 

person’s identity (his or her name, SSN, 

address, date of birth, and place of birth, 

along with one other piece of 

information such as mother’s maiden 

name), and ask for his or her consent to 

provide information to the requesting 

person. 

Persons requesting notification by 

mail must include a notarized statement 

to us to verify their identity or must 

certify in the request that they are the 

person they claim to be and that they 

understand that the knowing and willful 

request for, or acquisition of, a record 

pertaining to another person under false 

pretenses is a criminal offense. These 

procedures are in accordance with SSA 

Regulations (20 CFR 401.40). 

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES: 

Same as notification procedures. 

Requesters should also reasonably 

specify the record contents being 

sought. These procedures are in 

accordance with SSA Regulations (20 

CFR 401.40(c)). Some of the documents 

are compiled in anticipation of litigation 

and, thus, may be exempt from the 

access provisions of the Privacy Act (5 

U.S.C. 552a(d)(5)). 

CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES: 

Same as notification procedures. 

Requesters should also reasonably 

identify the record, specify the 

information they are contesting, and 

state the corrective action sought and 

the reasons for the correction with 

supporting justification showing how 

the record is incomplete, untimely, 

inaccurate, or irrelevant. These 

procedures are in accordance with SSA 

Regulations (20 CFR 401.65(a)). 

RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES: 

Information in this system is obtained 

from claimants; their representatives; 

appropriate members of the public, 

SSA, and other Federal, State, and local 

agencies. 

SYSTEMS EXEMPTED FROM CERTAIN PROVISIONS

OF THE PRIVACY ACT: 

None.

Proposed Alteration to Existing 

System of Records, New Routine Use, 

and General Housekeeping Changes 

AGENCY: Social Security Administration 

(SSA). 

ACTION: Proposed altered system of 

records, new routine use, and general 

housekeeping changes. 

SUMMARY: We are issuing public notice 

of our intent to alter, add a new routine 

use, and make minor housekeeping 

changes to an existing system of records 

in accordance with the Privacy Act (5 

U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) and (e)(11)). The 

affected system of records is the 

Working File of the Appeals Council 

(60–0004), hereinafter referred to as the 

AC Working File. The proposed 

alterations will result in the following 

changes: 

• Expansion of the purpose of the 

system of records to include the 

electronic internal working file of the 

Office of Appellate Operations (OAO) in 

the Office of Disability Adjudication 

and Review’s (ODAR) Appeals Council. 

This working file is accessed primarily 

by OAO personnel viewing documents 

stored in the Private Section of eView, 

an electronic interface. 

• Inclusion of our data protection 

routine use that provides for the release 

of information in the event of an 

unauthorized release of personally 

identifiable information. We published 

this routine use in the Federal Register 

on December 10, 2007 (72 FR 69723); 

and 

• Updates of various cited Federal 

Government regulations and minor 

editing, including correcting 

miscellaneous and stylistic format 

errors. 

The proposed revision, new routine use, 

and housekeeping changes are 

discussed in the SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION section below. We invite 

public comments on this proposal. 

DATES: We filed a report of the proposed 

altered system of records and added 

routine use with the Chairman of the 

Senate Committee on Homeland 

Security and Governmental Affairs, the 

Chairman of the House Committee on 

Government Reform, and the Director, 

Office of Information and Regulatory

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background and Purpose of the 

Proposed Alteration and New Routine 

Use for the AC Working File 

A. General Background Relating to the 

Proposed Alteration 

Under Titles II and XVI of the Social 

Security Act, an individual who is 

dissatisfied with a hearing decision or 

hearing dismissal may request review by 

the Appeals Council (AC). The Appeals 

Council may decide on its own motion 

to review the action taken in a case. The 

AC considers requests of extension of 

time to file civil actions and is also 

responsible for certain actions on cases 

in which a civil action already has been 

filed. These actions include acting on 

new court cases, conducting 

supplemental reviews of pending court 

cases, acting on remand orders from the 

court, handling appeals on ALJ 

decisions issued following a court 

remand, and recommending whether to 

seek an appeal when a Federal court 

makes a decision adverse to the 

Commissioner. The OAO provides 

professional and technical advice to 

other agency components and the 

Department of Justice on civil action 

cases when requested. In the past, the 

AC kept their records in paper form. 

New technology will allow us to store 

information electronically and, 

therefore, we need to update this system 

of records to reflect the change. As a 

result, records in this system may be in 

paper and electronic media formats. 

B. Discussion of Proposed Alteration to 

the AC Working File 

Members of the AC are assisted by 

staff who may prepare an analysis and 

recommendation. When the AC reaches 

a favorable decision, the records may be 

used to process attorney fees.
