                <b>General Prefatory Statement</b>
            </p>
            <p>In its April 8, 2002, publication, the Department gave notice of 12 routine uses that apply to all of its systems of records, except for DOL/OASAM-5, DOL/OASAM-7, and DOL/CENTRAL-3.  These 12 routine uses were presented in the General Prefatory Statement for that document, and appeared at Page 16825 of Volume 67 of the Federal Register.  As a convenience to the reader of this document, we are republishing this General Prefatory Statement. This republication shall include the statement, also contained in the 2002 and 2011 publications, that pursuant to the Flexiplace Program (also known as "telework" consistent with the Telework Enhancement Act), the system location for all systems of records may be temporarily located at alternate worksites, including remote locations, employees’ homes, or at geographically convenient satellite offices at some times.</p>
            <p>At this time, the Department proposes two new routine uses that will apply to all of its systems of records.  The first proposed routine use governs the Department’s ability to disclose information to a State or local government agency in charge of issuing licenses to attorneys and health care professionals.  The second proposed routine use governs the Department’s ability to disclose information to the United States Department of Justice and/or the Federal Bureau of Investigation that will be included in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). The new routine uses are described in paragraphs 13 and 14 below. </p>
            <p>
                <i>

            </p>
            <p>
                The following routine uses of the records apply to and are incorporated by reference into each system of records published below unless the text of a particular notice of a system of records indicates otherwise. These routine uses <i>do not</i> apply to DOL/OASAM 5, Rehabilitation and Counseling File; DOL/OASAM 7, Employee Medical Records, and DOL/CENTRAL-3, Internal Investigations of Harassing Conduct.

                <p>
                    The following paragraph applies to and is incorporated by reference into all of the Department’s systems of records under the Privacy Act, within the category entitled, <b>SYSTEM LOCATION:</b>
                </p>
                <p>Pursuant to the Department of Labor’s Flexiplace Programs (also known as "telework" pursuant to the Telework Enhancement Act), copies of records may be temporarily located at alternative worksites, including employees’ homes or at geographically convenient satellite offices for periods of time. All appropriate safeguards will be taken at these sites.</p>

                        C.	Government-Wide Records

                </p>
                <p>     Two systems of records are reported by the Department of Labor for all federal agencies since this Department has overall responsibility for the administration of the programs in connection with which these systems of records have been compiled. It is presumed that most, if not all, federal agencies maintain systems of records comprising a portion of the government-wide systems of records. In order to avoid duplication in reporting, the Department is reporting these systems on behalf of all agencies. The Department has control over these systems to the same extent as the Office of Personnel Management has control over systems of records containing federal employee personnel records.</p>
                <p>    1. Federal Employees' Compensation Act Files – DOL/GOVT-1: All records relating to injury or death of civilian employees or other persons entitled to benefits under the Federal Employees' Compensation Act are the records of the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP of the Department of Labor). OWCP asserts control of these records under the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 8149 and Department regulations at 20 CFR 10.10. This system applies to copies of claim forms and other documents relating to a compensation claim maintained by the employing agency. This system, however, does not apply to other medical or related files not created pursuant to the Federal Employees' Compensation Act which may be in the possession of an agency. This system is entitled DOL/GOVT-1, Office of Workers' Compensation Programs, Federal Employees' Compensation File.</p>
                <p>    Initial determinations on requests for access, amendment or correction of records maintained in this system of records shall be made by the OWCP district office having jurisdiction over the particular claim. In addition, requests for access to copies of records maintained by the employing agency may be directed to that agency. Administrative appeals from initial determinations denying access, amendment or correction, shall be addressed to the Solicitor of Labor, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20210, as required by 20 CFR 10.12.</p>
                <p>    2. Job Corps Student Records – DOL/GOVT-2: All records which contain information about students during their stay in Job Corps, from entrance to placement and/or termination, are records which must be maintained by the Job Corps Center at which the student is enrolled. The Employment and Training Administration asserts control of these records under 29 U.S.C. 2881 et seq. This system is entitled DOL/GOVT-2, Job Corps Student Records.</p>
                <p>    Initial determinations concerning access, amendment or correction of this government-wide system of records shall be made by screening contractors, Job Corps Center Directors, Job Corps National or Regional Offices. Administrative appeals shall be referred to the Solicitor of Labor, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20210.</p>
                <p>    In addition, the following government agencies also have Government-wide Systems of Records:</p>

                <p> a. To any attorney or other representative of a FECA beneficiary for the purpose of assisting in a claim or litigation against a third party or parties potentially liable to pay damages as a result of the FECA beneficiary's FECA-covered injury and for the purpose of administering the provisions of Sections 8131-8132 of FECA.

                <p> The Internet registration (IREG) application allows the public to electronically register on the EFAST2 website and obtain electronic filing credentials (User ID and PIN). These credentials are required for accessing restricted portions of the EFAST2 website, signing the Form 5500 or Form 5500-SF, and issuing authenticated web service requests to the EFAST2 system. EFAST2 will use the registration database to restrict website access, authenticate web service requests, validate filing signatures upon receipt of each filing, and to facilitate official correspondence and compliance assistance outreach. The IREG Database stores the electronic filing participant credentials. The IREG Database is populated by the IREG application.</p>

Filing credentials are also used as electronic signatures on Form 5500 and/or Form 5500-SF filings. Filing credentials are tied to the registration data to provide the Government with contact information (i.e., name, address and phone number) for EFAST2 users.  In addition to those universal routine uses listed in the General Prefatory Statement to this document, the Government may use the IREG information to contact signers/transmitters of EFAST2 filings, issue official correspondence, and to provide registrants with information from EBSA’s compliance assistance programs.  DOL may also share the contact information with other federal agencies, if it determines by careful review that the records or information are both relevant and necessary to any enforcement, regulatory, investigative or prosecutive responsibility of the receiving entity, and that the use of such records or information is for a purpose that is compatible with the purposes for which the agency collected the records.</p>

                <p> Records for the mine identification number and legal identity report contain information which includes:  mine (including mill) name, company name, ownership information, Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), mine location, operating status, and individuals listed as responsible for health and safety at mines.  Records for mine inspection personnel time and activity, inspections, citations and orders issued to operators; sampling data on personal exposure of non-identified miners and MSHA personnel to radiation, dust, noise, and other contaminants; and comprehensive health surveys at mines.</p>
                <p> Since 2008, MSHA requires certain individuals to submit their Taxpayer Identification Numbers (which includes Social Security Numbers), to receive their unique MSHA Individual Identification Numbers (MIIN).  The MIIN is substituted for the Social Security Number (SSN), eliminating the need for miners and other individuals to provide their SSNs on certain documents submitted to MSHA.</p>
                <p>Coal Respirable Dust records contain information such as the mine and company name, mine identification number, designated areas in the mine and designated occupations where samples were taken, occupations and SSNs of individuals sampled (before 1981) and of 30 CFR Part 90 miners (after 1980), date sampled, concentration of respirable dust measured in the miners’ work environment, tons of material produced during sampling shift, sampling time, and SSN of the certified person taking the sample.  Since 2008, MIINs replaced SSNs for identifying Part 90 miners sampled and the certified person taking the samples.  Consequently, SSNs are no longer collected on sample records.</p>
                <p> Qualification and Certification records contain mine identification number, MSHA identification number, training course codes, instructor’s name and SSN, date of training, name and SSN of persons who have taken training and examinations to become qualified or certified for certain mine tasks or approved instructors, and the results of any monitoring of an instructor.  Since 2008, MIINs replaced SSNs for persons trained and for the instructors of the courses.  Consequently, SSNs are no longer collected in Qualification and Certification records.</p>
                <p> Penalty Assessment records contain proposed civil penalty assessments, civil penalty payment information, bankruptcy information, delinquent debt referrals to Treasury for collection, and civil penalty final orders of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission on individuals.</p>
                <p> Accident, injury, and occupational illness records include the mine name and identification number; date, time, and place of occurrence; type and description of accident; and name and partial SSN for the individual injured or reporting an occupational illness.  For 1978 and subsequent years, only the last four digits of the SSN are collected.</p>
                <p>Radon Daughter Exposure records contain the mine identification number, mine name, section, township, range, county, and state of mine location, operator, time period, miner’s name, current year’s radon daughter exposure, and cumulative radon daughter exposure in working level months (WLM).  Prior to 2008, SSNs were collected for miners exposed to radon daughters; MSHA no longer collects SSNs.  A "Miner’s Identification Number" is now used for these records.</p>
                <p>Discrimination investigation records include the name, address, telephone number, social security number, occupation, place of employment, other identifying data, and allegation information from complainants, mine operators, miners, and other individuals.  This material includes interview statements and other data gathered by the investigator.</p>
                <p>Civil and criminal investigation records include the name, address, telephone number, social security number, occupation, place of employment, and other identifying data concerning individuals who are the focus of civil or criminal investigations along with allegation information from miners, mine operators, and other individuals.

Procedural Safeguards:  All persons having access to these records shall already have been trained in the proper handling of records covered by the Privacy Act and 42 CFR Part 2 (Confidentiality of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Patient Records).  These acts restrict disclosures to unique situations, such as threats of physical harm, medical emergencies, and suspected child abuse, except where the client has consented in writing to such disclosure.  Clients of the EAP will be informed in writing of the confidentiality provisions.  Secondary disclosure of released information is prohibited without client consent.</p>

        <subsection type="exemptionsClaimed">
            <xhtmlContent>
                <p> The Secretary of Labor has promulgated regulations which exempt information contained in this system of records from various provisions of the Privacy Act depending upon the purpose for which the information was gathered and for which it will be used. The various law enforcement purposes and the reasons for the exemptions are as follows:</p>
                <p> a.  Criminal Law Enforcement: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2), information compiled for this purpose is exempt from all of the provisions of the Privacy Act except the following sections: (b), (c)(1) and (2), (e) (4)(A) through (F), (e)(6), (7),(9),(10), and (11), and (i). This material is exempt because the disclosure and other requirements of the Privacy Act would substantially compromise the efficacy and integrity of OIG operations in a number of ways.  The disclosure of even the existence of these files would be problematic.  Disclosure could enable suspects to take action to prevent detection of criminal activities, conceal evidence, or escape prosecution. Required disclosure of information contained in this system could lead to the intimidation of, or harm to, informants, witnesses and their respective families or OIG personnel and their families.  Disclosure could invade the privacy of individuals other than subjects and disclose their identity when confidentially was promised or impliedly promised to them.  Disclosure could interfere with the integrity of information which would otherwise be privileged (see, e.g., 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(5)), and which could interfere with the integrity of other important law enforcement concerns: (see, e.g., 5 U.S.C.552 (b)(7)).</p>
                <p> The requirement that only relevant and necessary information be included in a criminal investigative file is contrary to investigative practice which requires a full and complete inquiry and exhaustion of all potential sources of information. See, 5 U.S.C. 552 a(e)(1).</p>
                <p> Similarly, maintaining only those records which are accurate, relevant, timely and complete and which assure fairness in a determination is contrary to established investigative techniques. See, 5 U.S.C. 552 a (e) (5).  Requiring investigators to obtain information to the greatest extent practicable directly from the subject individual also would be counter-productive to the thorough performance of clandestine criminal investigations.  See, 5 U.S.C. 552 a(e) (2). Finally, providing notice to an individual interviewed of the authority of the interviewer, the purpose which the information provided may be used, the routine uses of that information, and the effect upon the individual should he/she choose not to provide the information sought, could discourage the free flow of information in a criminal law enforcement inquiry.  5 U.S.C. 552 a(e)(3).</p>
                <p>b. Other law enforcement: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552 a(k)(2), investigatory material compiled for law enforcement purposes (to the extent it is not already exempted by 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2)), is exempted from the following provisions of the Privacy Act: (c)(3), (d), (e)(1), (e)(4)(G), (H) and (I), and (f).  This material is exempt because the disclosure and other requirements of the Act could substantially compromise the efficacy and integrity of OIG operations.  Disclosure could invade the privacy of other individuals and disclose their identity when they were expressly promised confidentiality.  Disclosure could interfere with the integrity of information which would otherwise be subject to privileges, see e.g., 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(5) and which could interfere with other important law enforcement concerns.   See, e.g., 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(7).</p>
                <p> c. Contract Investigations: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(5), investigatory material compiled solely for the purpose of determining integrity, suitability, eligibility, qualifications, or employment under a DOL contract is exempt from the following sections of the Privacy Act: (c)(3), (d),(e)(1), (e)(4)(G), (H), (I) and (f).  This exemption was obtained in order to protect from disclosure the identity of confidential sources when an express promise of confidentiality has been given in order to obtain information from sources that would otherwise be unwilling to provide necessary information.</p>

This exemption was obtained in order to protect from disclosure the identity of confidential sources when an express promise of confidentiality has been given in order to obtain information from sources that would otherwise be unwilling to provide necessary information. </p>

        <subsection type="exemptionsClaimed">
            <xhtmlContent>
                <p>The Secretary of Labor has promulgated regulations which exempt information contained in this system of records from various provisions of the Privacy Act depending upon the purpose for which the information was gathered and for which it will be used. The various law enforcement purposes and the reasons for the exemptions are as follows:</p>
                <p>
                    a.	Criminal Law Enforcement: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2), information compiled for this purpose is exempt from all of the provisions of the Privacy Act except the following sections: (b), (c)(1) and (2), (e)(4)(A) through (F),(e)(6), (7),(9),(10), and (11), and(i). This material is exempt because the disclosure and other requirements of the Privacy Act would substantially compromise the efficacy and integrity of OIG operations in a number of ways.  The disclosure of even the existence of these files would be problematic.  Disclosure could enable suspects to take action to prevent detection of criminal activities, conceal evidence, or escape prosecution. Required disclosure of information contained in this system could lead to the intimidation of, or harm to, informants, witnesses and their respective families or OIG personnel and their families.  Disclosure could invade the privacy of individuals other than subjects and disclose their identity when confidentially was promised or impliedly promised to them.  Disclosure could interfere with the integrity of information which would otherwise be privileged (see, e.g., 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(5)), and which could interfere with the integrity of other important law enforcement concerns: (see, e.g., 5 U.S.C.552 (b)(7)).
                </p>
                <p> The requirement that only relevant and necessary information be included in a criminal investigative file is contrary to investigative practice which requires a full and complete inquiry and exhaustion of all potential sources of information. See, 5 U.S.C. 552 a (e)(1).</p>
                <p> Similarly, maintaining only those records which are accurate, relevant, timely and complete and which assure fairness in a determination is contrary to established investigative techniques. See, 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(5).  Requiring investigators to obtain information to the greatest extent practicable directly from the subject individual also would be counter-productive to the thorough performance of clandestine criminal investigations.  See, 5 U.S.C. 552 a(e)(2). Finally, providing notice to an individual interviewed of the authority of the interviewer, the purpose which the information provided may be used, the routine uses of that information, and the effect upon the individual should he/she choose not to provide the information sought, could discourage the free flow of information in a criminal law enforcement inquiry.  5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(3). </p>
                <p>
                    b.	Other law enforcement: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552 a(k)(2), investigatory material compiled for law enforcement purposes (to the extent it is not already exempted by 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2)), is exempted from the following provisions of the Privacy Act: (c)(3),(d),(e)(1),(e)(4)(G),(H)and (I), and (f).  This material is exempt because the disclosure and other requirements of the Act could substantially compromise the efficacy and integrity of OIG operations.  Disclosure could invade the privacy of other individuals and disclose their identity when they were expressly promised confidentiality.  Disclosure could interfere with the integrity of information which would otherwise be subject to privileges, see e.g., 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(5) and which could interfere with other important law enforcement concerns.   See, e.g., 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(7).
                </p>
                <p>
                    c.	Contract Investigations: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(5), investigatory material compiled solely for the purpose of determining integrity, suitability, eligibility, qualifications, or employment under a DOL contract is exempt from the following sections of the Privacy Act: (c)(3), (d),(e)(1), (e)(4)(G), (H), (I) and (f).  This exemption was obtained in order to protect from disclosure the identity of confidential sources when an express promise of confidentiality has been given in order to obtain information from sources who would otherwise be unwilling to provide necessary information.

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2), investigatory material in this system of records compiled for civil law enforcement purposes is exempt for subsections (c)(3); (d); (e)(1), (e)(4) (G), (H), and (I); and (f) of 5 U.S.C. 552a, provided however, that if any individual is denied any right, privilege, or benefit that he or she would otherwise be entitled to by Federal law, or for which he or she would otherwise be eligible, as a result of the maintenance of these records, such material shall be provided to the individuals, except to the extent that the disclosure of such material would reveal the identity of a source who furnished information to the Government under an express promise that the identity of the source would be held in confidence, or prior to January 1, 1975, under an implied promise that the identity of the source would be held in confidence. Exemption under 5 U.S.C. 552a (j)(2) and (k)(2) of information within this system of records is necessary to undertake the investigative and enforcement responsibilities of OLMS, to prevent individuals from frustrating the investigatory process, to prevent subjects of investigation from escaping prosecution or avoiding civil enforcement, to prevent disclosure of investigative techniques, to protect the confidentiality of witnesses and informants, and to protect the safety and well-being of witnesses, informants, and law enforcement personnel, and their families.</p>

                <p><b>Note:</b> Personal information about other employees that is contained in the complainant’s file, such as statements taken by OSHA or information for use as comparative data, such as wages, bonuses, the substance of promotion recommendations, supervisory assessments of professional conduct and ability, or disciplinary actions, generally may be withheld from the respondent when it could violate those persons’ privacy rights, cause intimidation or harassment to those persons, or impair future investigations by making it more difficult to collect similar information from others.
                </p>
                <p>b. With respect to the statutes listed under the "Authority" category, disclosure of the respondent’s responses to the complaint and any other evidence it submits may be shared with the complainant so that the complaint can proceed to a resolution.</p>

With respect to the statutes listed under the "Authority" category, disclosure of appropriate, relevant, necessary, and compatible investigative records may be made to other Federal agencies responsible for investigating, prosecuting, enforcing, or implementing the underlying provisions of those statutes where OSHA deems such disclosure is compatible with the purpose for which the records were collected.</p>
                <p>d. With respect to the statutes listed under the "Authority" category, disclosure of appropriate, relevant, necessary, and compatible investigative records may be made to another agency or instrumentality of any governmental jurisdiction within or under the control of the United States, for a civil or criminal law enforcement activity, if the activity is authorized by law, and if that agency or instrumentality has made a written request to OSHA, specifying the particular portion desired and the law enforcement activity for which the record is sought.</p>
                <p>e. With respect to the statutes listed under the "Authority" category, disclosure may be made to the media, researchers, or other interested parties of statistical reports containing aggregated results of program activities and outcomes.

            <p><b>Universal Routine Uses of the Records
            </b></p>
            <p>The following routine uses of the records apply to and are
                incorporated by reference into each system of records published
                below unless the text of a particular notice of a system of records
                indicates otherwise. These routine uses do not apply to
                DOL/OASAM--5, Rehabilitation and Counseling File, nor to
                DOL/OASAM--7, Employee Medical Records.</p>
            <p>1. To disclose the records to the Department of Justice when:
            </p>
            <p>The agency or any component thereof; or (b) any employee of
                the agency in his or her official capacity; or (c) the United States
                Government, is a party to litigation or has an interest in such
                litigation, and by careful review, the agency determines that the
                records are both relevant and necessary to the litigation, and the
                use of such records by the Department of Justice is for a purpose
                that is compatible with the purpose for which the agency collected
                the records.</p>
            <p>2. To disclose the records in a proceeding before a court or
                adjudicative body, when: (a) The agency or any component thereof; or
                (b) any employee of the agency in his or her official capacity; or
                (c) any employee of the agency in his or her individual capacity; or
                (d) the United States Government, is a party to litigation or has an
                interest in such litigation, and by careful review, the agency
                determines that the records are both relevant and necessary to the
                litigation, and that the use of such records is a purpose that is
                compatible with the purpose for which the agency collected the
                records.</p>
            <p>3. When a record on its face, or in conjunction with other
                information, 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, disclosure may be made to
                the appropriate agency, whether Federal, foreign, State, local, or
                tribal, or other public authority responsible for enforcing,
                investigating or prosecuting such violation or charged with
                enforcing or implementing the statute, or rule, regulation, or order
                issued pursuant thereto, if the agency determines by careful review
                that the records or information are both relevant and necessary to
                any enforcement, regulatory, investigative or prosecutive
                responsibility of the receiving entity, and that the use of such
                records or information is for a purpose that is compatible with the
                purposes for which the agency collected the records.</p>
            <p>4. To a Member of Congress or to a Congressional staff member in
                response to an inquiry of the Congressional office made at the
                written request of the constituent about whom the record is
                maintained.</p>
            <p>5. To the National Archives and Records Administration or to the
                General Services Administration for records management inspections
                conducted under 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906.</p>
            <p>6. To disclose to contractors, employees of contractors,
                consultants, grantees, and volunteers who have been engaged to
                assist the agency in the performance of or working on a contract,
                service, grant, cooperative agreement or other activity or service
                for the Federal Government.</p>
            <p>
            <b>Note 1.</b>
            Recipients shall be required to comply with
                the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C.
                552a; see also 5 U.S.C. 552a(m).
            </p>
            <p>7. To the parent locator service of the Department of Health
                and Human Services or to other authorized persons defined by Public
                Law 93--647 the name and current address of an individual for the
                purpose of locating a parent who is not paying required child
                support.</p>
            <p>8. To any source from which information is requested in the
                course of a law enforcement or grievance investigation, or in the
                course of an investigation concerning retention of an employee or
                other personnel action, the retention of a security clearance, the
                letting of a contract, the retention of a grant, or the retention of
                any other benefit, to the extent necessary to identify the
                individual, inform the source of the purpose(s) of the request, and
                identify the type of information requested.</p>
            <p>9. To a Federal, State, local, foreign, or tribal or other public
                authority of the fact that this system of records contains
                information relevant to the hiring or retention of an employee, the
                granting or retention of a security clearance, the letting of a
                contract, a suspension or debarment determination or the issuance or
                retention of a license, grant, or other benefit.</p>
            <p>10. To the Office of Management and Budget during the
                coordination and clearance process in connection with legislative
                matters.</p>
            <p>11. To the Department of the Treasury, and a debt collection
                agency with which the United States has contracted for collection
                services to recover debts owed to the United States.</p>
            <p>12. To the news media and the public when (1) the matter under
                investigation has become public knowledge, (2) the Solicitor of
                Labor determines that disclosure is necessary to preserve confidence
                in the integrity of the Department or is necessary to demonstrate
                the accountability of the Department's officers, employees, or
                individuals covered by this system, or (3) the Solicitor of Labor
                determines that there exists a legitimate public interest in the
                disclosure of the information, except to the extent that the
                Solicitor of Labor determines in any of these situations that
                disclosure of specific information in the context of a particular
                case would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal
                privacy.</p>
            <p>
                <i>System Location--Flexiplace Programs</i>
            </p>
            <p>The following paragraph applies to and is incorporated by
                reference into all of the Department's systems of records under the
                Privacy Act, within the category entitled, SYSTEM LOCATION:
            </p>
            <p>Pursuant to the Department of Labor's Flexiplace Programs,
                copies of records may be temporarily located at alternative
                worksites, including employees' homes or at geographically
                convenient satellite offices for part of the workweek. All
                appropriate safeguards will be taken at these sites.</p>
            <p>
                <b>Government-Wide Records </b>
            </p>
            <p>Two systems of records are reported by the Department of Labor
                for all federal agencies since this Department has overall
                responsibility for the administration of the programs in connection
                with which these systems of records have been compiled. It is
                presumed that most, if not all, federal agencies maintain systems of
                records comprising a portion of the government wide systems of
                records. In order to avoid duplication in reporting, the Department
                is reporting these systems on behalf of all agencies. The Department
                has control over these systems to the same extent as the Office of
                Personnel Management has control over systems of records containing
                federal employee personnel records.
            </p>
            <p>1. Federal Employees' Compensation Act Files: All records
                relating to injury or death of civilian employees or other persons
                entitled to benefits under the Federal Employees' Compensation Act
                are the records of the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs of
                the Department of Labor. The Office asserts control of these records
                under the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 8149 and Department regulations at
                20 CFR 10.10. This notice applies to copies of claim forms and other
                documents relating to a compensation claim maintained by the
                employing agency. This notice, however, does not apply to other
                medical or related files not created pursuant to the Federal
                Employees' Compensation Act which may be in the possession of an
                agency. This system is entitled DOL/GOVT-1, Office of Workers'
                Compensation Programs, Federal Employees' Compensation File.
            </p>
            <p>Initial determinations on requests for access, amendment or
                correction of records maintained in this system of records shall be
                made by the OWCP district office having jurisdiction over the
                particular claim. In addition, requests for access to copies of
                records maintained by the employing agency may be directed to that
                agency. Administrative appeals from initial determinations denying
                access, amendment or correction, shall be addressed to the Solicitor
                of Labor, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW,
                Washington, DC 20210, as required by 20 CFR 10.12.
            </p>
            <p>2. Job Corps Student Records: All records which contain
                information about students during their stay in Job Corps, from
                entrance to placement and/or termination, are records which must be
                maintained by the Job Corps center. The Employment and Training
                Administration asserts control of these records under 29 U.S.C. 2881
                et seq. This system is entitled DOL/GOVT-2, Job Corps Student
                Records.
            </p>
            <p>Initial determinations concerning access, amendment or
                correction of this government-wide system of records shall be made
                by screening contractors, Job Corps Center Directors, Job Corps
                National or Regional Offices. Administrative appeals shall be
                referred to the Solicitor of Labor, U.S. Department of Labor, 200
                Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20210.
            </p>
            <p>
                <i>Special California Earthquake Co-operative Agreement</i>
            </p>
            <p>The San Francisco, California Regional Office of the Department
                of Labor's Office of Assistant Secretary for Administration and
                Management (OASAM), Region IX of OASAM, has entered into a
                reciprocal agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service's Office
                of the Regional Counsel located in San Francisco. The purpose of
                this reciprocal agreement is to provide each with an alternative
                off-site location to store computer data. This back-up storage
                capacity will mitigate damage if an earthquake ever occurs in the
                San Francisco area. This agreement is based upon the fact that the
                respective offices of the participants are located at opposite ends

                    <i>Purpose and scope.</i> This part contains the regulations of the U.S. Department of Labor implementing the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a. The regulations apply to all records which are contained in systems of records maintained by, or under the control of, the Department of Labor and which are retrieved by an individual's name or personal identifier. These regulations set forth the procedures by which an individual may seek access under the Privacy Act to records pertaining to him, may request correction or amendment of such records, or may seek an accounting of disclosures of such records by the Department. These regulations are applicable to each component of the Department.
                </p>
                <p>(b)
                    <i>Government-wide systems of records.</i> (1) DOL/GOVT-1 (Office of Workers' Compensation Programs, Federal Employees' Compensation Act File):

                <p>(i) All records, including claim forms, medical, investigative and other reports, statements of witnesses, and other papers relating to claims for compensation filed under the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (as amended and extended), are covered by the government-wide system of records entitled DOL/GOVT-1. This system is maintained by and under the control of the Employment Standards Administration's Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP), and, as such, all records contained in the OWCP claims file, as well as all copies of such documents retained and/or maintained by the injured worker's employing agency, are official records of the OWCP.
                </p>
                <p>(ii) The protection, release, inspection and copying of records covered by DOL/GOVT-1 shall be accomplished in accordance with the rules, guidelines and provisions of this part, as well as with part 70 of this subtitle, and with the notice of the systems of records and routine uses published in the
                    <i>Federal Register.</i> All questions relating to access/disclosure, and/or the amendment of FECA records maintained by the OWCP or an employing agency, are to be resolved in accordance with this part.
                </p>
                <p>(iii)(A) While an employing agency may establish procedures that an injured employee or beneficiary should follow in requesting access to documents it maintains, any decision issued in response to such a request must comply with the rules and regulations of the Department of Labor.
                </p>
                <p>(B) Any administrative appeal taken from a denial issued by the employing agency shall be filed with the Solicitor of Labor in accordance with &#167;&#167; 71.7 and 71.9 of this part.
                </p>
                <p>(iv) No agency other than the OWCP has authority to issue determinations in response to requests for the correction or amendment of records contained in or covered by DOL/GOVT-1. Any request for correction or amendment received by an employing agency must be referred to the OWCP for review and decision.
                </p>
                <p>(2) For the government-wide system of records entitled DOL/GOVT-2 (Job Corps Student Records), a system maintained by and under the control of the Employment and Training Administration, the regulations of this Department shall govern, including the procedure for requesting access to, or amendment of the records, as well as appeals therefrom, shall govern.

                <p>(a)
                    <i>Procedure for making requests for access to records.</i> An individual, or legal representative acting on his behalf, may request access to a record about himself by appearing in person or by writing to the component that maintains the record. (<i>See</i> appendix A to this part which lists the components of the Department of Labor and their addresses.) A requester in need of guidance in defining his request may write to the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20210-0002. A request should be addressed to the component that maintains the requested record. Both the envelope and the request itself should be marked: "Privacy Act Request."
                </p>
                <p>(b)
                    <i>Description of records sought.</i> A request for access to records must describe the records sought in sufficient detail to enable Department personnel to locate the system of records containing the record with a reasonable amount of effort. Whenever possible, a request for access should describe the nature of the record sought, the date of the record or the period in which the record was compiled, and the name or identifying number of the system of records in which the requester believes the record is kept.
                </p>
                <p>(c)
                    <i>Agreement to pay fees.</i> The filing of a request for access to a record under this subpart shall be deemed to constitute an agreement to pay all applicable fees charged under &#167; 71.6 up to $25.00. The component responsible for responding to the request shall confirm this agreement in its letter of acknowledgment to the requester. When filing a request, a requester may specify a willingness to pay a greater amount, if applicable.
                </p>
                <p>(d)
                    <i>Verification of identity.</i> Any individual who submits a request for access to records must verify his identity in one of the following ways:
                </p>
                <p>(1) Any requester making a request in writing must state in his request his full name, and current address. In addition, a requester must provide with his request an example of his signature, which shall be notarized, or signed as an unsworn declaration under penalty of perjury, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1746. In order to facilitate the identification of the requested records, a requester may also include in his request his Social Security number.
                </p>
                <p>(2) Any requester submitting a request in person may provide to the component a form of official photographic identification, such as a passport, an identification badge or a driver's license which contains the photograph of the requester. If a requester is unable to produce a form of photographic identification, he may provide to the component two or more acceptable forms of identification bearing his name and address. In all cases, sufficient identification must be presented to confirm that the requester is the individual data subject.
                </p>
                <p>(e)
                    <i>Verification of guardianship.</i> The parent, guardian, or representative of a minor or the guardian or representative of a person judicially determined to be incompetent who submits a request for access to the records of the minor or incompetent must establish:
                </p>
                <p>(1) His identity, as required in paragraph (d) of this section,
                </p>
                <p>(2) That the requester is the parent, guardian, or representative of the subject of the record, which may be proved by providing a copy of the subject's birth certificate showing parentage or by providing a court order establishing the guardianship, and
                </p>
                <p>(3) That he seeks to act on behalf of the subject of the record.
                </p>
                <p>(f) The disclosure officer may waive the requirements set forth in paragraphs (d) and (e) of this section when he deems such action to be appropriate, and may substitute in lieu thereof, other reasonable means of identification.

A request not addressed to the appropriate component will be deemed not to have been received by the Department until the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management has forwarded the request to the appropriate component which has the record and that component has received the request. When the component receives an improperly addressed request, it shall notify the requester of the date on which it received the request. Accordingly, a request for access shall be deemed received on the date that it is received in the appropriate component.

A component shall make a determination within 30 days to grant or deny a request for access in whole or in part. If the request is granted in whole, the component shall so notify the requester in writing. The notice shall describe the manner in which access to the record will be granted and shall inform the requester of any fees to be charged in accordance with &#167; 71.6.

In addition, the Department shall request the individual to designate such a physician. Upon receipt of the designation, the disclosure officer will permit the physician to review the records or to receive copies of the records by mail, upon proper verification of identity.

A component shall charge fees at the rate of $0.15 per page. In accordance with the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act, the first 100 pages of copying shall be furnished without charge. For materials other than paper copies, the component may charge the direct costs of reproduction, but only if the requester has been notified of such costs before they are incurred. Fees shall not be charged where they would amount, in the aggregate, for one request or for a series of related requests, to less than $15.00. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, the first copy of an individual's Privacy Act record shall be provided to the individual at no cost.

If the fee is estimated to be in excess of $250, then the agency may require payment in advance. (If only a portion of the fee can be estimated readily, the component shall advise the requester that the estimated fee may be only a portion of the total fee.) Where the estimated fee exceeds $250 and a component has so notified the requester, the component will be deemed not to have received the request for access to records until the requester has paid the anticipated fee, in full or in part. A notice to a requester pursuant to this paragraph shall offer him the opportunity to confer with Department personnel with the object of reformulating his request to meet his needs at a lower cost.

However, the Department shall not require advance payment in any case where the fee is under $250, except that where a requester has previously failed to pay a fee charged under this part, the requester must pay the component or the Department the full amount owed and make an advance deposit of the full amount of any estimated fee before a component shall be required to process a new or pending request for access from that requester.

                <p>(a) The following systems of records are eligible for exemption under 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) because they are maintained by a component of the agency or subcomponent which performs as its principal function the enforcement of criminal laws, and they contain investigatory material compiled for criminal law enforcement purposes. Accordingly, these systems of records are exempt from the following subsections of 552a of title 5 U.S. Code: (c)(3) and (4), (d), (e)(1), (2), and (3), (e)(4)(G), (H), and (I), (e)(5) and (8), (f) and (g).
                </p>
                <p>(1) DOL/ESA-45 ( Investigative Files of the Office of Labor-Management Standards), a system of records maintained by the Office of Labor-Management Standards.
                </p>
                <p>(2) DOL/OIG-1 (General Investigative Files, and Subject Title Index, USDOL/OIG), a system of records maintained by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG).

                <p>(3) DOL/OIG-2 (Freedom of Information/Privacy Acts Records), a system of records maintained by the OIG.

                <p>(4) DOL/OIG-3 (Case Development Records), a system of records maintained by the OIG.

                <p>(5) DOL/OIG-5 (Investigative Case Tracking Systems/Audit Information Reporting Systems, USDOL/OIG), a system of records maintained by the OIG.

                <p>(7) DOL/EBSA-2 (Office of Enforcement Index Cards and Investigation Files), a system of records maintained by the Employee Benefits Security Administration.
                </p>
                <p>(b) This exemption applies to the extent that information in these systems of records is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2).
                </p>
                <p>(c) These systems are exempted for the reasons set forth in paragraphs (c)(1) through (12) of this section, from the following subsections of 5 U.S.C. 552a:
                </p>
                <p>(1)
                    <i>Subsection (c)(3).</i> The release of the disclosure accounting would present a serious impediment to law enforcement by permitting the subject of an investigation of an actual or potential criminal violation to determine whether he is the subject of investigation, or to obtain valuable information concerning the nature of that investigation and the information obtained, or to identify witnesses and informants.
                </p>
                <p>(2)
                    <i>Subsection (c)(4).</i> Since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d) f the Act (Access to Records), this subsection is inapplicable to the extent that these systems of records are exempted from subsection (d).
                </p>
                <p>(3)
                    <i>Subsection (d).</i> Access to records contained in these systems would inform the subject of an actual or potential criminal investigation of the existence of that investigation, of the nature and scope of the investigation, of the information and evidence obtained as to his or her activities, and of the identity of witnesses or informants. Such access would, accordingly, provide information that could enable the subject to avoid detection, apprehension, and prosecution. This result, therefore, would constitute a serious impediment to effective law enforcement not only because it would prevent the successful completion of the investigation but also because it could endanger the physical safety of witnesses or informants, lead to the improper influencing of witnesses, the destruction of evidence, or the fabrication of testimony. Amendment of the records would interfere with ongoing criminal law enforcement proceedings and imposes an impossible administrative burden by requiring criminal investigations to be continuously reinvestigated.
                </p>
                <p>(4)
                    <i>Subsection (e)(1).</i> In the course of criminal and related law enforcement investigations, cases, and matters, the agency will occasionally obtain information concerning actual or potential violations of law that may not be technically within its statutory or other authority, or it may compile information in the course of an investigation which may not be relevant to a specific prosecution. In the interests of effective law enforcement, it is necessary to retain some or all of such information since it can aid in establishing patterns of criminal activity and can provide valuable leads for Federal and other law enforcement agencies. Moreover, it is difficult to know during the course of an investigation what is relevant and necessary. In this connection, facts or evidence may not seem relevant at first, but later in the investigation, their relevance is borne out.
                </p>
                <p>(5)
                    <i>Subsection (e)(2).</i> To collect information to the greatest extent practicable from the subject individual of a criminal investigation or prosecution would present a serious impediment to law enforcement because the subject of the investigation or prosecution would be placed on notice as to the existence of the investigation and would therefore be able to avoid detection or apprehension, improperly influence witnesses, destroy evidence, or fabricate testimony.
                </p>
                <p>(6)
                    <i>Subsection (e)(3).</i> To provide individuals supplying information with a form which includes the information required by subsection (e)(3) would constitute a serious impediment to law enforcement, i.e., it could compromise the existence of a confidential investigation or reveal the identity of witnesses or confidential informants.
                </p>
                <p>(7)
                    <i>Subsections (e)(4)(G) and (H).</i> These subsections are inapplicable to the extent that these systems are exempt from the access provisions of subsection (d) and the rules provisions of subsection (f).
                </p>
                <p>(8)
                    <i>Subsection (e)(4)(I).</i> The categories of sources of the records in these systems have been published in the
                    <i>Federal Register</i> in broad generic terms in the belief that this is all that subsection (e)(4)(I) of the Act requires. In the event, however, that this subsection should be interpreted to require more detail as to the identity of sources of the records in this system, exemption from this provision is necessary to protect the confidentiality of the sources of criminal and related law enforcement information. Such exemption is further necessary to protect the privacy and physical safety of witnesses and informants.
                </p>
                <p>(9)
                    <i>Subsection (e)(5).</i> In the collection of information for criminal enforcement purposes it is impossible to determine in advance what information is accurate, relevant, timely, and complete. With the passage of time, seemingly irrelevant or untimely information may acquire new significance as further investigation brings new details to light. Furthermore, the accuracy of such information can often only be determined in a court of law. The restrictions of subsection (e)(5) would inhibit the ability of government attorneys in exercising their judgment in reporting on information and investigations and impede the development of criminal information and related data necessary for effective law enforcement.
                </p>
                <p>(10)
                    <i>Subsection (e)(8).</i> The individual notice requirements of subsection (e)(8) could present a serious impediment to law enforcement as this could interfere with the ability to issue warrants or subpoenas and could reveal investigative techniques, procedures, or evidence.
                </p>
                <p>(11)
                    <i>Subsection (f).</i> Procedures for notice to an individual pursuant to subsection (f)(1) as to existence of records pertaining to the individual dealing with an actual or potential criminal, civil, or regulatory investigation or prosecution must be exempted because such notice to an individual would be detrimental to the successful conduct and/or completion of an investigation or case, pending or future. In addition, mere notice of the fact of an investigation could inform the subject or others that their activities are under investigation or may become the subject of an investigation and could enable the subjects to avoid detection, to influence witnesses improperly, to destroy evidence, or to fabricate testimony. Since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d) of the Act (Access to Records) the rules required pursuant to subsections (f)(2) through (5) are inapplicable to these systems of records to the extent that these systems of records are exempted from subsection (d).
                </p>
                <p>(12)
                    <i>Subsection (g).</i> Since an exemption is being claimed for subsections (d) (Access to Records) and (f) (Agency Rules) this section is inapplicable, and is exempted for the reasons set forth for those subsections, to the extent that these systems of records are exempted from subsections (d) and (f).

                <p>(1)
                    <i>Subsection (c)(3).</i> The release of the disclosure accounting, for disclosures made pursuant to subsection (b) of the Act, including those permitted under the routine uses published for these systems of records, would enable the subject of an investigation of an actual or potential civil case to determine whether he or she is the subject of investigation, to obtain valuable information concerning the nature of that investigation and the information obtained, and to determine the identity of witnesses or informants. Such access to investigative information would, accordingly, present a serious impediment to law enforcement. In addition, disclosure of the accounting would constitute notice to the individual of the existence of a record even though such notice requirement under subsection (f)(1) is specifically exempted for this system of records.
                </p>
                <p>(2)
                    <i>Subsections (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3), and (d)(4).</i> Access to the records contained in these systems would inform the subject of an actual or potential civil investigation of the existence of that investigation, of the nature and scope of the information and evidence obtained as to his or her activities, and of the identity of witnesses or informants. Such access would, accordingly, provide information that could enable the subject to avoid detection. This result, therefore, would constitute a serious impediment to effective law enforcement not only because it would prevent the successful completion of the investigation but also because it could endanger the physical safety of witnesses or informants, lead to the improper influencing of witnesses, the destruction of evidence, or the fabrication of testimony.

                <p>(3)
                    <i>Subsection (e)(1).</i> The notices for these systems of records published in the
                    <i>Federal Register</i> set forth the basic statutory or related authority for maintenance of these systems. However, in the course of civil and related law enforcement investigations, cases and matters, the agency will occasionally obtain information concerning actual or potential violations of law that are not strictly or technically within its statutory or other authority or may compile information in the course of an investigation which may not be relevant to a specific case. In the interests of effective law enforcement, it is necessary to retain some or all of such information in this system of records since it can aid in establishing patterns of compliance and can provide valuable leads for Federal and other law enforcement agencies. Moreover, it is difficult to know during the course of an investigation what is relevant and necessary. In this connection, facts or evidence may not seem relevant at first, but later in the investigation, their relevance is borne out.

In addition, mere notice of the fact of an investigation could inform the subject or others that their activities are under or may become the subject of an investigation and could enable the subjects to avoid detection, to influence witnesses improperly, to destroy evidence, or to fabricate testimony. Since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d) of the Act (Access to Records), the rules required pursuant to subsections (f)(2) through (5) are inapplicable to these systems of records to the extent that these systems of records are exempted from subsection (d).

                </p>
                <p>(a) The following systems of records are eligible for exemption under 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(5) because they contain investigatory material compiled solely for the purpose of determining suitability, eligibility, or qualifications for Federal civilian employment, military service, Federal contracts, or access to classified information, but only to the extent that the disclosure of such material would reveal the identity of a source who furnished information to the Government under an express promise that the identity of the source would be held in confidence, or, prior to January 1, 1975 , under an implied promise that the identity of the source would be held in confidence. Accordingly, these systems of records are exempt from (c)(3), (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3), (d)(4), (e)(1), (e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(I) and (f) of 5 U.S.C. 552a.
                </p>
                <p>(1) DOL/OASAM-20 (Personnel Investigation Records), a system of records maintained by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management (OASAM).
                </p>
                <p>(2) DOL/OIG-1 (General Investigative Files, and Subject Title Index, USDOL/OIG), a system of records maintained by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG).
                </p>
                <p>(3) DOL/OIG-2 (Freedom of Information/Privacy Acts Records), a system of records maintained by the OIG.
                </p>
                <p>(4) DOL/OIG-3 (Case Development Records), a system of records maintained by the OIG.
                </p>
                <p>(5) DOL/OIG-5 (Investigative Case Tracking Systems/Audit Information Reporting Systems, USDOL/OIG), a system of records maintained by the OIG.
                </p>
                <p>(b) This exemption applies to the extent that information in these systems is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(5).
                </p>
                <p>(c) The systems of records listed under paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(5) of this section are exempted for the reasons set forth in paragraphs (c)(1) through (6) of this section, from the following subsections of 5 U.S.C. 552a:
                </p>
                <p>(1)
                    <i>Subsection (c)(3).</i> The release of the disclosure accounting, for disclosures made pursuant to subsection (b) of the Act, including those permitted under the routine uses published for this system of records, would enable the subject of an investigation of an actual or potential civil case to determine whether he or she is the subject of investigation, to obtain valuable information concerning the nature of that investigation and the information obtained, and to determine the identity of witnesses or informants. Such access to investigative information would, accordingly, present a serious impediment to the investigation. In addition, disclosure of the accounting would constitute notice to the individual of the existence of a record even though such notice requirement under subsection (f)(1) is specifically exempted for this system of records.
                </p>
                <p>(2)
                    <i>Subsections (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3), and (d)(4).</i> Access to the records contained in these systems would inform the subject of an actual or potential investigation of the existence of that investigation, of the nature and scope of the information and evidence obtained as to his or her activities, and of the identity of witnesses or informants. Such access would, accordingly, provide information that could enable the subject to avoid detection. This result, therefore, would constitute a serious impediment to effective investigation not only because it would prevent the successful completion of the investigation but also because it could endanger the physical safety of witnesses or informants, lead to the improper influencing of witnesses, the destruction of evidence, or the fabrication of testimony.
                </p>
                <p>(3)
                    <i>Subsection (e)(1).</i> The notices for these systems of records published in the
                    <i>Federal Register</i> set forth the basic statutory or related authority for maintenance of this system. However, in the course of civil and related investigations, cases and matters, the agency will occasionally obtain information concerning actual or potential violations of law that are not strictly or technically within its statutory or other authority or may compile information in the course of an investigation which may not be relevant to a specific case. In the interests of effective investigation, it is necessary to retain some or all of such information in these systems of records since it can aid in establishing patterns of compliance and can provide valuable leads for Federal and other law enforcement agencies. Moreover, it is difficult to know during the course of an investigation what is relevant and necessary. In this connection, facts or evidence may not seem relevant at first, but later in the investigation, their relevance is borne out.
                </p>
                <p>(4)
                    <i>Subsections (e)(4)(G) and (H).</i> Since an exemption is being claimed for subsections (f) (Agency Rules) and (d) (Access to Records) of the Act, these subsections are inapplicable to the extent that these systems of records are exempted from subsections (f) and (d).
                </p>
                <p>(5)
                    <i>Subsection (e)(4)(I).</i> The categories of sources of the records in these systems have been published in the
                    <i>Federal Register</i> in broad generic terms in the belief that this is all that subsection (e)(4)(I) of the Act requires. In the event, however, that this subsection should be interpreted to require more detail as to the identity of sources of the records in this system, exemption from this provision is necessary in order to protect the confidentiality of the sources of investigatory information. Such exemption is further necessary to protect the privacy and physical safety of witnesses and informants.
                </p>
                <p>(6)
                    <i>Subsection (f).</i> Procedures for notice to an individual pursuant to subsection (f)(1) as to existence of records pertaining to the individual dealing with an actual or potential investigation must be exempted because such notice to an individual would be detrimental to the successful conduct and/or completion of an investigation or case, pending or future. In addition, mere notice of the fact of an investigation could inform the subject or others that their activities are under or may become the subject of an investigation and could enable the subjects to avoid detection, to influence witnesses improperly, to destroy evidence, or to fabricate testimony. Since an exemption is being claimed for subsection (d) of the Act (Access to Records), the rules required pursuant to subsections (f)(2) through (5) are inapplicable to these systems of records to the extent that these systems of records are exempted from subsection (d).

<p><b>Authority:</b> Sec. 8, Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 U.S.C. 657); Sec. e, Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a(e); 5 U.S.C. 301); Secretary of Labor's Order No. 8-76 (41 FR 25059), or 5-2002 (67 FR 65008) as applicable. </p>

<p><b>&#167;1913.10
 Rules of agency practice and procedure concerning OSHA access to employee medical records. 
</b></p><p>(a) <i>General policy.</i> OSHA access to employee medical records will in certain circumstances be important to the agency's performance of its statutory functions. Medical records, however, contain personal details concerning the lives of employees. Due to the substantial personal privacy interests involved, OSHA authority to gain access to personally identifiable employee medical information will be exercised only after the agency has made a careful determination of its need for this information, and only with appropriate safeguards to protect individual privacy. Once this information is obtained, OSHA examination and use of it will be limited to only that information needed to accomplish the purpose for access. Personally identifiable employee medical information will be retained by OSHA only for so long as needed to accomplish the purpose for access, will be kept secure while being used, and will not be disclosed to other agencies or members of the public except in narrowly defined circumstances. This section establishes procedures to implement these policies. 
</p>
<p>(b) <i>Scope and application.</i> (1) Except as provided in paragraphs (b) (3) through (6) below, this section applies to all requests by OSHA personnel to obtain access to records in order to examine or copy personally identifiable employee medical information, whether or not pursuant to the access provisions of 29 CFR 1910.1020(e). 
</p>
<p>(2) For the purposes of this section, "personally identifiable employee medical information"  means employee medical information accompanied by either direct identifiers (name, address, social security number, payroll number, etc.) or by information which could reasonably be used in the particular circumstances indirectly to identify specific employees (e.g., exact age, height, weight, race, sex, date of initial employment, job title, etc.). 
</p><p>(3) This section does not apply to OSHA access to, or the use of, aggregate employee medical information or medical records on individual employees which is not in a personally identifiable form. This section does not apply to records required by 29 CFR part 1904, to death certificates, or to employee exposure records, including biological monitoring records treated by 29 CFR 1910.1020(c)(5) or by specific occupational safety and health standards as exposure records. 
</p><p>(4) This section does not apply where OSHA compliance personnel conduct an examination of employee medical records solely to verify employer compliance with the medical surveillance recordkeeping requirements of an occupational safety and health standard, or with 29 CFR 1910.1020. An examination of this nature shall be conducted on-site and, if requested, shall be conducted under the observation of the recordholder. The OSHA compliance personnel shall not record and take off-site any information from medical records other than documentation of the fact of compliance or non-compliance. 
</p><p>(5) This section does not apply to agency access to, or the use of, personally identifiable employee medical information obtained in the course of litigation. 
</p><p>(6) This section does not apply where a written directive by the Assistant Secretary authorizes appropriately qualified personnel to conduct limited reviews of specific medical information mandated by an occupational safety and health standard, or of specific biological monitoring test results. 
</p><p>(7) Even if not covered by the terms of this section, all medically related information reported in a personally identifiable form shall be handled with appropriate discretion and care befitting all information concerning specific employees. There may, for example, be personal privacy interests involved which militate against disclosure of this kind of information to the public (<i>See,</i> 29 CFR 70.26 and 70a.3). 
</p>
<p>(c) <i>Responsible persons</i>--(1) <i>Assistant Secretary.</i> The Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health (Assistant Secretary) shall be responsible for the overall administration and implementation of the procedures contained in this section, including making final OSHA determinations concerning: 
</p>
<p>(i) Access to personally identifiable employee medical information (paragraph (d)), and 
</p><p>(ii) Inter-agency transfer or public disclosure of personally identifiable employee medical information (paragraph (m)). 
</p><p>(2) <i>OSHA Medical Records Officer.</i> The Assistant Secretary shall designate an OSHA official with experience or training in the evaluation, use, and privacy protection of medical records to be the OSHA Medical Records Officer. The OSHA Medical Records Officer shall report directly to the Assistant Secretary on matters concerning this section and shall be responsible for: 
</p>
<p>(i) Making recommendations to the Assistant Secretary as to the approval or denial of written access orders (paragraph (d)), 
</p><p>(ii) Assuring that written access orders meet the requirements of paragraphs (d) (2) and (3) of this section, 
</p><p>(iii) Responding to employee, collective bargaining agent, and employer objections concerning written access orders (paragraph (f)), 
</p><p>(iv) Regulating the use of direct personal identifiers (paragraph (g)), 
</p><p>(v) Regulating internal agency use and security of personally identifiable employee medical information (paragraphs (h) through (j)), 
</p><p>(vi) Assuring that the results of agency analyses of personally identifiable medical information are, where appropriate, communicated to employees (paragraph (k)), 
</p><p>(vii) Preparing an annual report of OSHA's experience under this section (paragraph (l)), and 
</p><p>(viii) Assuring that advance notice is given of intended inter-agency transfers or public disclosures (paragraph (m)). 
</p><p>(3) <i>Principal OSHA Investigator.</i> The Principal OSHA Investigator shall be the OSHA employee in each instance of access to personally identifiable employee medical information who is made primarily responsible for assuring that the examination and use of this information is performed in the manner prescribed by a written access order and the requirements of this section (paragraphs (d) through (m). When access is pursuant to a written access order, the Principal OSHA Investigator shall be professionally trained in medicine, public health, or allied fields (epidemiology, toxicology, industrial hygiene, biostatistics, environmental health, etc.). 
</p>
<p>(d) <i>Written access orders</i>--(1) <i>Requirement for written access order.</i> Except as provided in paragraph (d)(4) below, each request by an OSHA representative to examine or copy personally identifiable employee medical information contained in a record held by an employer or other recordholder shall be made pursuant to a written access order which has been approved by the Assistant Secretary upon the recommendation of the OSHA Medical Records Officer. If deemed appropriate, a written access order may constitute, or be accompanied by, an administrative subpoena. 
</p>
<p>(2) <i>Approval criteria for written access order.</i> Before approving a written access order, the Assistant Secretary and the OSHA Medical Records Officer shall determine that: 
</p>
<p>(i) The medical information to be examined or copied is relevant to a statutory purpose and there is a need to gain access to this personally identifiable information, 
</p><p>(ii) The personally identifiable medical information to be examined or copied is limited to only that information needed to accomplish the purpose for access, and 
</p><p>(iii) The personnel authorized to review and analyze the personally identifiable medical information are limited to those who have a need for access and have appropriate professional qualifications. 
</p><p>(3) <i>Content of written access order.</i> Each written access order shall state with reasonable particularity: 
</p>
<p>(i) The statutory purposes for which access is sought, 
</p><p>(ii) A general description of the kind of employee medical information that will be examined and why there is a need to examine personally identifiable information, 
</p><p>(iii) Whether medical information will be examined on-site, and what type of information will be copied and removed off-site, 
</p><p>(iv) The name, address, and phone number of the Principal OSHA Investigator and the names of any other authorized persons who are expected to review and analyze the medical information. 
</p><p>(v) The name, address, and phone number of the OSHA Medical Records Officer, and 
</p><p>(vi) The anticipated period of time during which OSHA expects to retain the employee medical information in a personally identifiable form. 
</p><p>(4) <i>Special situations.</i> Written access orders need not be obtained to examine or copy personally identifiable employee medical information under the following circumstances: 
</p>
<p>(i) <i>Specific written consent.</i> If the specific written consent of an employee is obtained pursuant to 29 CFR 1910.1020(e)(2)(ii), and the agency or an agency employee is listed on the authorization as the designated representative to receive the medical information, then a written access order need not be obtained. Whenever personally identifiable employee medical information is obtained through specific written consent and taken off-site, a Principal OSHA Investigator shall be promptly named to assure protection of the information, and the OSHA Medical Records Officer shall be notified of this person's identity. The personally identifiable medical information obtained shall thereafter be subject to the use and security requirements of paragraphs (h) through (m) of this section. 
</p>
<p>(ii) <i>Physician consultations.</i> A written access order need not be obtained where an OSHA staff or contract physician consults with an employer's physician concerning an occupational safety or health issue. In a situation of this nature, the OSHA physician may conduct on-site evaluation of employee medical records in consultation with the employer's physician, and may make necessary personal notes of his or her findings. No employee medical records, however, shall be taken off-site in the absence of a written access order or the specific written consent of an employee, and no notes of personally identifiable employee medical information made by the OSHA physician shall leave his or her control without the permission of the OSHA Medical Records Officer. 
</p>
<p>(e) <i>Presentation of written access order and notice to employees.</i> (1) The Principal OSHA Investigator, or someone under his or her supervision, shall present at least two (2) copies each of the written access order and an accompanying cover letter to the employer prior to examining or obtaining medical information subject to a written access order. At least one copy of the written access order shall not identify specific employees by direct personal identifier. The accompanying cover letter shall summarize the requirements of this section and indicate that questions or objections concerning the written access order may be directed to the Principal OSHA Investigator or to the OSHA Medical Records Officer. 
</p>
<p>(2) The Principal OSHA Investigator shall promptly present a copy of the written access order (which does not identify specific employees by direct personal identifier) and its accompanying cover letter to each collective bargaining agent representing employees whose medical records are subject to the written access order. 
</p><p>(3) The Principal OSHA Investigator shall indicate that the employer must promptly post a copy of the written access order which does not identify specific employees by direct personal identifier, as well as post its accompanying cover letter (<i>See,</i> 29 CFR 1910.1020(e)(3)(ii)). 
</p>
<p>(4) The Principal OSHA Investigator shall discuss with any collective bargaining agent and with the employer the appropriateness of individual notice to employees affected by the written access order. Where it is agreed that individual notice is appropriate, the Principal OSHA Investigator shall promptly provide to the employer an adequate number of copies of the written access order (which does not identify specific employees by direct personal identifier) and its accompanying cover letter to enable the employer either to individually notify each employee or to place a copy in each employee's medical file. 
</p><p>(f) <i>Objections concerning a written access order.</i> All employee, collective bargaining agent, and employer written objections concerning access to records pursuant to a written access order shall be transmitted to the OSHA Medical Records Officer. Unless the agency decides otherwise, access to the records shall proceed without delay notwithstanding the lodging of an objection. The OSHA Medical Records Officer shall respond in writing to each employee's and collective bargaining agent's written objection to OSHA access. Where appropriate, the OSHA Medical Records Officer may revoke a written access order and direct that any medical information obtained by it be returned to the original recordholder or destroyed. The Principal OSHA Investigator shall assure that such instructions by the OSHA Medical Records Officer are promptly implemented. 
</p>
<p>(g) <i>Removal of direct personal identifiers.</i> Whenever employee medical information obtained pursuant to a written access order is taken off-site with direct personal identifiers included, the Principal OSHA Investigator shall, unless otherwise authorized by the OSHA Medical Records Officer, promptly separate all direct personal identifiers from the medical information, and code the medical information and the list of direct identifiers with a unique identifying number for each employee. The medical information with its numerical code shall thereafter be used and kept secured as though still in a directly identifiable form. The Principal OSHA Investigator shall also hand deliver or mail the list of direct personal identifiers with their corresponding numerical codes to the OSHA Medical Records Officer. The OSHA Medical Records Officer shall thereafter limit the use and distribution of the list of coded identifiers to those with a need to know its contents. 
</p>
<p>(h) <i>Internal agency use of personally identifiable employee medical information.</i> (1) The Principal OSHA Investigator shall in each instance of access be primarily responsible for assuring that personally identifiable employee medical information is used and kept secured in accordance with this section. 
</p>
<p>(2) The Principal OSHA Investigator, the OSHA Medical Records Officer, the Assistant Secretary, and any other authorized person listed on a written access order may permit the examination or use of personally identifiable employee medical information by agency employees and contractors who have a need for access, and appropriate qualifications for the purpose for which they are using the information. No OSHA employee or contractor is authorized to examine or otherwise use personally identifiable employee medical information unless so permitted. 
</p><p>(3) Where a need exists, access to personally identifiable employee medical information may be provided to attorneys in the Office of the Solicitor of Labor, and to agency contractors who are physicians or who have contractually agreed to abide by the requirements of this section and implementing agency directives and instructions. 
</p><p>(4) OSHA employees and contractors are only authorized to use personally identifiable employee medical information for the purposes for which it was obtained, unless the specific written consent of an employee is obtained as to a secondary purpose, or the procedures of paragraphs (d) through (g) of this section are repeated with respect to the secondary purpose. 
</p><p>(5) Whenever practicable, the examination of personally identifiable employee medical information shall be performed on-site with a minimum of medical information taken off-site in a personally identifiable form. 
</p><p>(i) <i>Security procedures.</i> (1) Agency files containing personally identifiable employee medical information shall be segregated from other agency files. When not in active use, files containing this information shall be kept secured in a locked cabinet or vault.
</p>
<p>(2) The OSHA Medical Records Officer and the Principal OSHA Investigator shall each maintain a log of uses and transfers of personally identifiable employee medical information and lists of coded direct personal identifiers, except as to necessary uses by staff under their direct personal supervision.
</p><p>(3) The photocopying or other duplication of personally identifiable employee medical information shall be kept to the minimum necessary to accomplish the purposes for which the information was obtained.
</p><p>(4) The protective measures established by this section apply to all worksheets, duplicate copies, or other agency documents containing personally identifiable employee medical information.
</p><p>(5) Intra-agency transfers of personally identifiable employee medical information shall be by hand delivery, United States mail, or equally protective means. Inter-office mailing channels shall not be used.
</p><p>(j) <i>Retention and destruction of records.</i> (1) Consistent with OSHA records disposition programs, personally identifiable employee medical information and lists of coded direct personal identifiers shall be destroyed or returned to the original recordholder when no longer needed for the purposes for which they were obtained.
</p>
<p>(2) Personally identifiable employee medical information which is currently not being used actively but may be needed for future use shall be transferred to the OSHA Medical Records Officer. The OSHA Medical Records Officer shall conduct an annual review of all centrally-held information to determine which information is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was obtained.
</p><p>(k) <i>Results of an agency analysis using personally identifiable employee medical information.</i> The OSHA Medical Records Officer shall, as appropriate, assure that the results of an agency analysis using personally identifiable employee medical information are communicated to the employees whose personal medical information was used as a part of the analysis.
</p>
<p>(l) <i>Annual report.</i> The OSHA Medical Records Officer shall on an annual basis review OSHA's experience under this section during the previous year, and prepare a report to the Assistant Secretary which shall be made available to the public. This report shall discuss:
</p>
<p>(1) The number of written access orders approved and a summary of the purposes for access,
</p><p>(2) The nature and disposition of employee, collective bargaining agent, and employer written objections concerning OSHA access to personally identifiable employee medical information, and
</p><p>(3) The nature and disposition of requests for inter-agency transfer or public disclosure of personally identifiable employee medical information.
</p><p>(m) <i>Inter-agency transfer and public disclosure.</i> (1) Personally identifiable employee medical information shall not be transferred to another agency or office outside of OSHA (other than to the Office of the Solicitor of Labor) or disclosed to the public (other than to the affected employee or the original recordholder) except when required by law or when approved by the Assistant Secretary.
</p>
<p>(2) Except as provided in paragraph (m)(3) of this section, the Assistant Secretary shall not approve a request for an inter-agency transfer of personally identifiable employee medical information, which has not been consented to by the affected employees, unless the request is by a public health agency which:
</p><p>(i) Needs the requested information in a personally identifiable form for a substantial public health purpose,
</p><p>(ii) Will not use the requested information to make individual determinations concerning affected employees which could be to their detriment,
</p><p>(iii) Has regulations or established written procedures providing protection for personally identifiable medical information substantially equivalent to that of this section, and
</p><p>(iv) Satisfies an exemption to the Privacy Act to the extent that the Privacy Act applies to the requested information (<i>See,</i> 5 U.S.C. 552a(b); 29 CFR 70a.3).
</p>
<p>(3) Upon the approval of the Assistant Secretary, personally identifiable employee medical information may be transferred to:
</p><p>(i) The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and
</p><p>(ii) The Department of Justice when necessary with respect to a specific action under the Occupational Safety and Health Act.
</p><p>(4) The Assistant Secretary shall not approve a request for public disclosure of employee medical information containing direct personal identifiers unless there are compelling circumstances affecting the health or safety of an individual.
</p><p>(5) The Assistant Secretary shall not approve a request for public disclosure of employee medical information which contains information which could reasonably be used indirectly to identify specific employees when the disclosure would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy (<i>See,</i> 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(6); 29 CFR 70.26).
</p>
<p>(6) Except as to inter-agency transfers to NIOSH or the Department of Justice, the OSHA Medical Records Officer shall assure that advance notice is provided to any collective bargaining agent representing affected employees and to the employer on each occasion that OSHA intends to either transfer personally identifiable employee medical information to another agency or disclose it to a member of the public other than to an affected employee. When feasible, the OSHA Medical Records Officer shall take reasonable steps to assure that advance notice is provided to affected employees when the employee medical information to be transferred or disclosed contains direct personal identifiers.
