Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 196 / Wednesday, October 12, 2005 / Notices 59397 

SAFEGUARDS: 

All official access to the system of 

records is on a need-to-know basis only, 

as authorized by a business line 

manager at FMS or FMS’s fiscal agent. 

Procedural and physical safeguards, 

such as personal accountability, audit 

logs, and specialized communications 

security, are utilized. Each user of 

computer systems containing records 

has individual passwords (as opposed to 

group passwords) for which he or she is 

responsible. Thus, a security manager 

can identify access to the records by 

user. Access to computerized records is 

limited, through use of access codes, 

encryption techniques, and/or other 

internal mechanisms, to those whose 

official duties require access. Storage 

facilities are secured by various means 

such as security guards, badge access, 

and locked doors with key entry. 

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: 

Electronic and paper records for 

enrollments and associated transactions 

will be retained for six (6) months or as 

otherwise required by statute or court 

order. Records in electronic media are 

electronically erased using industryaccepted techniques, and in accordance 

with applicable Financial Management 

Service policies regarding the retention 

and disposal of fiscal agency records. 

Paper records are destroyed in 

accordance with fiscal agency archive 

and disposal procedures and applicable 

Financial Management Service policies 

regarding the retention and disposal of 

fiscal agency records.
