SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

In the Federal Register of February 

23, 2010 (75 FR 8086), FDA announced 

the opening of a docket to obtain 

information about current practices and 

conditions for the production and 

packing of fresh produce. FDA 

established this docket to provide an 

opportunity for interested persons to 

provide comments and information and 

share views that will inform the 

development of safety standards for 

fresh produce at the farm and packing 

house and strategies and cooperative 

efforts to ensure compliance. 

FDA is extending the comment period 

until July 23, 2010. The agency believes 

that this additional time is necessary to 

give interested parties sufficient time to 

respond to the general topic categories 

set forth in the February notice. 

The agency will consider information 

submitted to the docket in developing 

safety standards for fresh produce. 

II. Request for Comments

HHS employee in his or her official 

capacity; or (c) any HHS employee in 

his or her individual capacity where 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 each case, HHS 

determines that such disclosure is 

compatible with the purpose for which 

the records were collected. 

3. A record from this system may be 

disclosed to the following entities in 

order to help collect a debt owed the 

United States: 

(a) To another Federal agency so that

a credit reporting agency under part (d) 

only for purposes of preparing a 

commercial credit report on the 

individual. Part (a) applies to claims or 

debts arising or payable under the 

Social Security Act if and only if the 

employee consents in writing to the 

offset.

address, Social Security number or 

other information necessary to identify 

the individual; the funding being 

sought; and the program for which the 

information is being obtained.

records may be disclosed to the Internal 

Revenue Service to report the writtenoff amount as taxable income to the

claim; and the agency or program under 

which the claim arose. An address 

obtained from IRS may be disclosed to 

a credit reporting agency under part (d) 

only for the purpose of preparing a 

commercial credit report on the 

individual. Part (a) applies to any claims 

or debts arising or payable under the 

Social Security Act if and only if the 

employee consents in writing to the 

offset. 

9. SAMHSA may disclose information 

from its records in this system to 

consumer reporting agencies in order to 

obtain credit reports to verify credit 

worthiness of grant/cooperative 

agreement applicants. Permissible 

disclosures include name, address, 

Social Security number or other 

information necessary to identify the 

individual; the funding being sought; 

and the program for which the 

information is being obtained. 

10. When a debt becomes partly or 

wholly uncollectible, either because the 

time period for collection under the 

statute of limitations has expired or 

because the Government agrees with the 

individual to forgive or compromise the 

debt, a record from this system of 

records may be disclosed to the Internal 

Revenue Service to report the writtenoff amount as taxable income to the 

individual. 

11. A record from this system may be 

disclosed to another Federal agency that 

has asked the Department to effect an 

administrative offset under common law 

or under 31 U.S.C. 3716 to help collect 

a debt owed the United States. 

Disclosure under this routine use is 

limited to: name, address, Social 

Security number, and other information 

necessary to identify the individual, 

information about the money payable to 

or held for the individual, and other 

information concerning the 

administrative offset. 

12. SAMHSA may disclose from this 

system of records to the Department of 

Treasury, Internal Revenue Service 

(IRS): (1) A delinquent debtor’s name, 

address, Social Security number, and 

other information necessary to identify 

the debtor; (2) the amount of the debt; 

and (3) the program under which the 

debt arose, so that IRS can offset against 

the debt any income tax refunds which 

may be due to the debtor. 

13. To appropriate Federal agencies 

and Department contractors that have a 

need to know the information for the 

purpose of assisting the Department’s 

efforts to respond to a suspected or 

confirmed breach of the security or

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM: 

The purpose of the system of records 

is to collect and maintain a data base for 

health services evaluation activities of 

the Center for Substance Abuse 

Prevention, the Center for Substance 

Abuse Treatment, and the Center for 

Mental Health Services. Analyses of 

these data involve groups of individuals 

with given characteristics and do not 

refer to special individuals. The 

generation of information and statistical 

analyses will ultimately lead to a better 

description and understanding of 

mental, alcohol, and/or drug abuse 

disorders, their diagnosis, treatment and 

prevention, and the promotion of good 

physical and mental health. 

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: 

1. A record may be disclosed for an 

evaluation purpose, when the 

Department: 

(a) Has determined that the use or 

disclosure does not violate legal or 

policy limitations under which the 

record was provided, collected, or 

obtained; e.g., disclosure of alcohol or 

drug abuse patient records will be made 

only in accordance with 42 U.S.C. 

290(dd–2). 

(b) has determined that the study 

purpose (1) cannot be reasonably 

accomplished unless the record is 

provided in individually identifiable 

form, and (2) warrants the risk to the 

privacy of the individual that additional 

exposure of the record might bring; 

(c) has required the recipient to—(1) 

establish reasonable administrative, 

technical, and physical safeguards to 

prevent unauthorized use or disclosure 

of the record, and (2) remove or destroy 

the information that identifies the 

individual at the earliest time at which 

removal or destruction can be 

accomplished consistent with the 

purpose of the health services 

evaluation project, unless the recipient 

has presented adequate justification of 

an analytical or health nature for 

retaining such information, and (3) 

make no further use or disclosure of the 

record except—(A) in emergency 

circumstances affecting the health or 

safety of any individual, (B) for use in 

another health services research or 

evaluation project, under these same 

conditions, and with written 

authorization of the Department, (C) for 

disclosure to a properly identified 

person for the purpose of an audit 

related to the evaluation project, if 

information that would enable study 

subjects to be identified is removed or 

destroyed at the earliest opportunity 

consistent with the purpose of the audit, 

or (D) when required by law; and 

(d) has secured a written statement 

attesting to the recipient’s 

understanding of, and willingness to 

abide by, these provisions. 

2. Disclosure may be made to a 

congressional office from the record of 

an individual in response to a verified 

inquiry from a congressional office 

made at the written request of that 

individual. 

3. In the event of litigation, where the 

defendant is (a) the Department, any 

component of the Department, or any 

employee of the Department in his or 

her official capacity; (b) the United 

States where the Department determines 

that the claim, if successful, is likely to 

directly affect the operations of the 

Department or any of its components; or 

(c) any Department employee in his or 

her individual capacity where the 

Justice Department has agreed to 

represent such employee; the 

Department may disclose such records 

as it deems desirable or necessary to the 

Department of Justice to enable that 

Department to present an effective 

defense, provided such disclosure is 

compatible with the purpose for which 

the records were collected (e.g., 

disclosure may be made to the 

Department of Justice or other 

appropriate Federal agencies in 

defending claims against the United 

States when the claim is based upon an 

individual’s mental or physical 

condition and is alleged to have arisen 

because of the individual’s participation 

in activities of a Federal Government 

supported research project). 

4. The Department contemplates that 

it will contract with a private firm for 

the purpose of collecting, analyzing, 

aggregating, or otherwise refining 

records in this system. Relevant records 

will be disclosed to such contractor. The 

contractor shall be required to maintain 

Privacy Act safeguards with respect to 

such records. 

5. To appropriate Federal agencies 

and Department contractors that have a 

need to know the information for the 

purpose of assisting the Department’s 

efforts to respond to a suspected or 

confirmed breach of the security or 

confidentiality of information 

maintained in this system of records, 

and the information disclosed is 

relevant and necessary for that 

assistance. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, 

RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND

DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

STORAGE: 

Records may be stored on index cards, 

file folders, computer tapes and disks, 

microfiche, microfilm, and audio and 

video tapes. Normally, the factual data, 

with study code numbers, are stored on 

computer tape or disk, while the key to 

personal identifiers is stored separately, 

without factual data, in paper files. 

RETRIEVABILITY: 

During data collection stages and 

follow up, if any, retrieval by personal 

identifier (e.g., name, social security 

number (in some studies), or medical 

record number), is necessary. During the 

data analysis stage, data are normally 

retrieved by the variables of interest 

(e.g., diagnosis, age, occupation). 

SAFEGUARDS: 

1. Authorized Users: Access to 

identifiers and to link files is strictly 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with NOTICES_PART 1
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 97 / Thursday, May 20, 2010 / Notices 28271 

limited to those authorized personnel 

whose duties require such access. 

Procedures for determining authorized 

access to identified data are established 

as appropriate for each location. 

Personnel, including contractor 

personnel, who may be so authorized 

include those directly involved in data 

collection and in the design of research 

studies, e.g., interviewers and 

interviewer supervisors; project 

managers; and statisticians involved in 

designing sampling plans. 

2. Physical Safeguards: Records are 

stored in locked rooms, locked file 

cabinets, and/or secured computer 

facilities. Personal identifiers and link 

files are separated as much as possible 

and stored in locked files. Computer 

data access is limited through the use of 

key words known only to authorized 

personnel. 

3. Procedural Safeguards: Collection 

and maintenance of data is consistent 

with legislation and regulations in the 

protection of human subjects, informed 

consent, confidentiality, and 

confidentiality specific to drug and 

alcohol abuse patients where these 

apply. When a SAMHSA component or 

a contractor provides anonymous data 

to research scientists for analysis, study 

numbers which can be matched to 

personal identifiers will be eliminated, 

scrambled, or replaced by the agency or 

contractor with random numbers which 

cannot be matched. Contractors who 

maintain records in this system are 

instructed to make no further disclosure 

of the records. Privacy Act requirements 

are specifically included in contracts for 

survey and research activities related to 

this system. The HHS project directors, 

contract officers, and project officers 

oversee compliance with these 

requirements. 

4. Implementation Guidelines: DHHS 

Chapter 45–13 of the General 

Administration Manual and Part 6, 

‘‘Automated Information Systems 

Security’’ of the HHS Information 

Resources Management Manual. 

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: 

Records may be retired to the 

Washington National Records Center 

located at 4205 Suitland Road, Suitland, 

MD 20409, and subsequently disposed 

of in accordance with the SAMHSA 

Records Control Schedule. The records

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM: 

This umbrella system of records 

covers a varying number of separate sets 

of records used in different projects. 

These records are established by 

contractors to organize programs, obtain 

and pay consultants, and to provide 

necessary reports related to payment to 

the Internal Revenue Service for these 

programs for SAMHSA. SAMHSA 

personnel may use records when a 

technical assistance consultant is 

needed for a specialized area of 

research, review, advice, etc. 

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

or any component thereof; or (b) 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 each case, HHS determines that 

such disclosure is compatible with the 

purpose for which the records were 

collected. 

2. Disclosure may be made to a 

congressional office from the record of 

an individual in response to a verified 

inquiry from the congressional office

The contractor shall be required to 

maintain Privacy Act safeguards with 

respect to such records. 

4. Disclosure may be made to the 

Department of Treasury, Internal 

Revenue Service, and applicable State
