Records maintained in the system above, disclosure of which is governed by the System of Records Notice for the “Campus Based Branch Program Document Management System, HHS/HRSA/BHPr” may be disclosed to others:

1. HRSA may disclose records to Department contractors and subcontractors for the purpose of assisting CBB in reviewing cases and maintaining systems, including conducting data analysis for program evaluations, compiling managerial and statistical reports, and record systems processing and refinement. Contractors will maintain, and are also required to ensure that subcontractors maintain, Privacy Act safeguards with respect to such records.

2. Disclosure may be made to a Congressional office from the record of an individual or institutional participant, in response to any inquiry from the Congressional office made at the request of that individual.

3. Disclosure may be made to the Department of Justice, or to a court or other tribunal, from this system of records, when (a) HHS, or any component thereof; or (b) any HHS employee in his or her official capacity; or (c) any HHS employee in his or her individual capacity where the Department of Justice (or HHS, where it is authorized to do so) has agreed to represent the employee; or (d) the United States or any agency thereof, where HHS determines that the litigation is likely to affect HHS or any of its components, is a party to litigation or has an interest in such litigation, and HHS determines that the use of such records by the Department of Justice, the court or other tribunal is relevant and necessary to the litigation and would help in the effective representation of the governmental party, provided, however, that in such case HHS determines that such disclosure is compatible with the purpose for which the records were collected.

4. In the event that a system of records maintained by this agency to carry out its functions indicates a violation or potential violation of law, whether civil, criminal, or regulatory in nature and whether arising by general statute or particular program statute, or by regulation, rule, or order issued pursuant thereto, the relevant records in the system of records may be referred to the appropriate agency, whether Federal, State or local, charged with the responsibility of investigating or prosecuting such violation or charged with enforcing or implementing the statute or rule, regulation or order issued pursuant thereto.

5. HRSA may disclose from this system of records a delinquent debtor's name, address, Social Security number, and other information necessary to identify him/her; the amount, status, and history of the claim, and the agency or program under which the claim arose, to the Treasury Department, Internal Revenue Service (IRS), to request a debtor's current mailing address to locate him/her for purposes of collecting a debt. This address may be disclosed by HRSA to any school from which the defaulted borrower received the student loan, for use only by officers, employees, or agents of the school whose duties relate to the collection of health professions or nursing student loan funds, to locate the defaulted borrower to collect the loan. Any school which requests and obtains this address information must comply with the requirements of HRSA and the IRS regarding the safeguarding and proper handling of this information.

### STORAGE:

Records are maintained in the DMS or in file folders and/or computer data files.

### RETRIEVABILITY:

Retrieval of data and case files is by subject's name or institution ID.

### SAFEGUARDS:

1. Authorized users: Access is limited to authorized HHS staff in performance of their duties. Authorized personnel include the contractor/system manager and his staff who have responsibilities for administering the programs. HRSA maintains current lists of authorized users. Educational institutions may request or access information they submitted to CBB. However, they do not have access to information submitted by other institutions.

2. Physical safeguards: The DMS is housed on a HRSA server behind a firewall. The DMS is an intra-office system only for the sole use of CBB staff. All computer equipment and files and hard copy files are stored in areas where fire and life safety codes are strictly enforced. All automated and non-automated documents are protected on a 24-hour basis. Perimeter security includes intrusion alarms, on-site guard force, random guard patrol, key/passcard/combination controls, and receptionist controlled area. Hard copy files are maintained in a file room used solely for this purpose with access limited by combination lock to authorized users identified above. Computer files are password protected and are accessible only by use of computers which are password protected.

                        3. Procedural safeguards: A password is required to access computer files. All users of personal information in connection with the performance of their jobs protect information from public view and from unauthorized personnel entering an unsupervised area. All passwords, keys and/or combinations are changed when a person leaves or no longer has authorized duties. Access to records is limited to those authorized personnel trained in accordance with the Privacy Act and ADP security procedures. The safeguards described above were established in accordance with DHHS chapter 45-13 and supplementary chapter PHS hf: 45-13 of the General Administration Manual; and the DHHS Information Resources Management Manual, Part 6, “ADP Systems Security.”                              ( print page 61361)
