of the system of records; (2) the 

Department has determined that as a 

result of the suspected or confirmed 

breach there is a risk of harm to 

individuals, DOE (including its 

information systems, programs, and 

operations), the Federal Government, or 

national security; and (3) the disclosure 

made to such agencies, entities, and 

persons is reasonably necessary to assist 

in connection with the Department’s 

efforts to respond to the suspected or 

confirmed breach or to prevent, 

minimize, or remedy such harm. 

6. A record from this system may be 

disclosed as a routine use to another 

Federal agency or Federal entity, when 

the Department determines that 

information from this system of records 

is reasonably necessary to assist the 

recipient agency or entity in (1) 

responding to a suspected or confirmed 

breach or (2) preventing, minimizing, or 

remedying the risk of harm to 

individuals, the recipient agency or 

entity (including its information 

systems, programs, and operations), the

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF

RECORDS: 

Records will be stored as electronic 

documents. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF

RECORDS: 

Records are retrieved by contractor 

employee name, job title, or contractor 

name. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND

DISPOSAL OF RECORDS: 

Retention and disposition of these 

records is in accordance with the 

National Archives and Records 

Administration approved records 

disposition schedule with a retention of 

6 years after final payment. 

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL

SAFEGUARDS: 

Electronic records may be secured 

and maintained on a cloud-based 

software server and operating system 

that resides in Federal Risk and 

Authorization Management Program 

(FedRAMP) and Federal Information 

Security Modernization Act (FISMA) 

hosting environment. Data located in 

the cloud-based server is firewalled and 

encrypted at rest and in transit. The 

security mechanisms for handling data 

at rest and in transit are in accordance 

with DOE encryption standards. 

Records are protected from 

unauthorized access through the 

following appropriate safeguards: 

• Administrative: Access to all 

records is limited to lawful government 

purposes only, with access to electronic 

records based on role and either twofactor authentication or password 

protection. The system requires 

passwords to be complex and to be 

changed frequently. Users accessing 

system records undergo frequent 

training in Privacy Act and information 

security requirements. Security and 

privacy controls are reviewed on an 

ongoing basis. 

• Technical: Computerized records 

systems are safeguarded on 

Departmental networks configured for 

role-based access based on job 

responsibilities and organizational 

affiliation. Privacy and security controls 

are in place for this system and are 

updated in accordance with applicable 

requirements as determined by NIST 

and DOE directives and guidance. 

• Physical: Computer servers on 

which electronic records are stored are 

located in secured Department facilities, 

which are protected by security guards, 

identification badges, and cameras. 

Paper copies of all records are locked in 

file cabinets, file rooms, or offices and 

are under the control of authorized 

personnel. Access to these facilities is 

granted only to authorized personnel 

and each person granted access to the 

system must be an individual 

authorized to use or administer the 

system. 

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES: 

The Department follows the 

procedures outlined in title 10 CFR 

1008.4. Valid identification of the 

individual making the request is 

required before information will be 

processed, given, access granted, or a 

correction considered, to ensure that 

information is processed, given, 

corrected, or records disclosed or 

corrected only at the request of the 

proper person. 

CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES: 

Any individual may submit a request 

to the System Manager and request a 

copy of any records relating to them. In 

accordance with 10 CFR 1008.11, any 

individual may appeal the denial of a 

request made by him or her for 

information about or for access to or 

correction or amendment of records. An 

appeal shall be filed within 90 calendar 

days after receipt of the denial. When an 

appeal is filed by mail, the postmark is 

conclusive as to timeliness. The appeal 

shall be in writing and must be signed 

by the individual. The words 

‘‘PRIVACY ACT APPEAL’’ should 

appear in capital letters on the envelope 

and the letter. Appeals relating to DOE 

records shall be directed to the Director, 

Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA), 

1000 Independence Avenue SW, 

Washington, DC 20585. 

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES: 

In accordance with the DOE 

regulation implementing the Privacy 

Act, 10 CFR part 1008, a request by an 

individual to determine if a system of 

records contains information about 

themselves should be directed to the 

U.S. Department of Energy, 

Headquarters, Privacy Act Officer. The 

request should include the requester’s 

complete name and the time period for 

which records are sought.
