DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Office of the Secretary

 

Privacy Act of 1974; Altered System of Records

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, HHS.

ACTION: Notification of altered system of records.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act, the 
Office of the Secretary (OS) is publishing a notice of altered system 
of records. The purpose of the alteration is to add a new routine use 
to 51 Office of the Secretary Privacy Act systems of records.

DATES: OS invites interested parties to submit comments on the proposed 
routine use on or before December 9, 1994. OS has sent a Report of 
Altered System of Records to the Congress and to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) on November 2, 1994. The new routine use 
will be effective 40 days after the date of publication unless OS 
receives comments that would result in a contrary determination.

ADDRESSES: Please submit comments to: HHS Privacy Act Officer, Room 
645-F, Humphrey Building, 200 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 
20201.
    Comments received will be available for inspection at this same 
address from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The HHS Privacy Act Officer at the 
address listed above. (Telephone: 202-690-7453; not a toll free 
number.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OS is proposing to add a new routine use to 
51 Office of the Secretary Privacy Act systems of records listed below. 
This routine use will permit the disclosure of information from these 
systems to certain individuals working in various OS offices but who do 
not have the status of agency employees and, in many instances, do not 
receive pay for their work. Examples of such categories of non-employee 
workers are:

Individuals working under a personal services contract.
Student volunteers engaged under 5 U.S.C. 3511.
Job Corps enrollees engaged under the Job Training Partnership Act.
Older American Community Service Employment Act enrollees.

    Some OS offices that use these non-employee workers may wish to 
have them perform functions that require access to records in Privacy 
Act systems of records. Therefore we have decided to promulgate a new 
routine use rather than rely on subsection (b)(1) of the Privacy Act, 
which authorizes access to officers and employees of the agency who 
need the records in the performance of their duties.
    The records will continue to be adequately protected, since the 
individuals to whom the information will be disclosed work under the 
supervision of agency employees. They must observe the same safeguards 
that agency employees do in the maintenance of Privacy Act records.
    The proposed new routine use is compatible with the data 
collection, since the disclosures are being made for the very purpose 
for which the information was collected, i.e., to carry out the 
particular agency or program function for which the specific system of 
records was established.

    Dated: November 2, 1994.
Avis LaVelle,
Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs.
