CPSC-31, Contests, Challenges, and Awards Programs.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information contact: Mary

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Privacy Act of 1974 (Privacy Act), 
5 U.S.C. 552a, the Commission is revising system of records notice 
CPSC-31, Contests, Challenges, and Awards Programs. The revision is 
necessary because existing CPSC-31 does not contemplate collection of 
certain information CPSC intends to collect when the Agency administers 
contests for minor children. The attached notice revises CPSC-31 by 
clarifying that when CPSC administers contests for minor children CPSC 
will collect contact information from the minor's parents, including 
name, mailing address (including city and state), telephone number and 
email address. CPSC also will collect the minor's name, grade in school 
and state of residence. CPSC will continue to collect social security 
numbers from the contest winners to process payments.
    This amendment seeks to specify the information collection required 
to administer contests, challenges, and awards. In contests aimed at

[[Page 26212]]

participants who are minors, CPSC plans to collect the following 
information about the child: Name, grade in school, state of residence. 
CPSC also plans to collect the following information about the child's 
parent or guardian: name, mailing address (including city and state), 
telephone number and email address. CPSC will continue to collect 
social security numbers from contest winners to process and report 
payments or other prize awards, as the case may be.
    CPSC published a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) for Contests, 
Challenges, and Awards on CPSC's Web site (http://www.cpsc.gov/About-CPSC/Agency-Reports/PIA-Reports/) and will publish PIAs addressing 
future contests on this Web site. The PIAs provides additional 
background information and context for the system of records, including 
specific information on measures taken by CPSC to protect the privacy 
of persons whose information is contained in the system of records.
    The proposed amendment is not within the purview of subsection (r) 
of the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), as amended, and does not 
require submission of a new or altered system report.

Todd A. Stevenson,
Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission.
System name:

CPSC-31, Contests, Challenges, and Awards Programs

System location:
    Office of Communications, Consumer Product Safety Commission, 4330 
East West Highway, Bethesda, MD 20814.

Categories of individuals covered by the system:
    Members of the public, including individuals who are minors and/or 
the parents or guardians of minors, and companies and organizations.

Categories of records in the system:

telephone numbers, email addresses, ages, grade levels in school, 
street addresses, company names, organization's names, posters, videos, 
products, or other submissions made by individuals for contests, 
challenges or awards. For contests where minors are the entrants, CPSC 
may collect the above-listed information for the parents or guardians 
of the contest entrants. Contest entrants who win prizes from CPSC are 
required to provide their social security numbers so that monetary 
payments can be processed by the U.S. government and the value of any 
prize can be reported to the U.S. government.

Authority for maintenance of the system:
    15 U.S.C. 205(9b), OMB Memorandum on the Use of Challenges and 
Prizes to Promote Open Government, M-10-11, March 8, 2010.

Purpose(s):
    CPSC hosts contests, challenges, and award programs to educate the 
public, including adults and children, about product safety to prevent 
injuries and deaths associated with product hazards, and to identify 
and honor people and organizations that have made significant 
contributions to consumer product safety.

Routine uses of records maintained in the system, including categories 
of users and the purposes of such uses:
    Records are maintained for the contest, challenge, or award program 
for purposes of evaluating contest submissions, contacting winners and 
finalists, awarding prizes and reporting prize awards as may be 
required by law. Categories of users include CPSC employees, 
contractors, and Web sites hosting challenges for CPSC.
    Disclosure may be made to appropriate agencies, entities, and 
persons when: (1) CPSC suspects or has confirmed that the security or 
confidentiality of information in the system of records has been 
compromised; (2) CPSC has determined that as a result of the suspected 
or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to the security or 
integrity of this system or other systems or programs (whether 
maintained by CPSC or another agency or entity) that rely upon the 
compromised information; and (3) the disclosure made to such agencies, 
entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to assist with the CPSC's 
efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and 
prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm.

Policies and practices for storing, retrieving, accessing, retaining, 
and disposing of records in the system:
    Once the contest or challenge is completed, CPSC's Office of the 
Secretariat maintains for two years hard or electronic copies of 
posters, videos, information/photos about products that may contain 
contact information for the contest, challenge, or award program 
participants. After that time, the copies are destroyed.

Storage:
    Posters, videos, or other submissions for contests, challenges, or 
awards may be stored by CPSC for use by the agency, for use in agency 
displays, or for disclosure in response to requests under the Freedom 
of Information Act. Posters, videos, or other submissions are stored in 
locked file cabinets in the Office of the Secretariat or in secure 
electronic format.

Retrievability:
    Contest submissions (including posters and videos) become the 
property of CPSC, according to the agency's published contest rules and 
are not returned to the submitter. Access to the submissions may be 
requested to the Office of the Secretariat under the Freedom of 
Information Act.

Safeguards:
    Posters, videos, or other submissions are kept by CPSC's Office of 
the Secretariat in locked file cabinets or in securer electronic 
format.

years by CPSC's Office of the Secretariat.
