SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VA is amending the system of records by 
revising the System Name; System Number; System Location; System 
Manager; Purpose; Categories of Individuals Covered by the System; 
Categories of Records in the System; Record Source Categories; Routine 
Uses of Records Maintained in the System; Policies and Practices for 
Storage of Records; Policies and Practices for Retention and Disposal 
of Records; Record Access Procedure; Contesting Records Procedures; 
Notification Procedure; and Administrative, Technical and Physical 
Safeguards. VA is republishing the system notice in its entirety.
    The System Name is being updated from ``Administrative Data 
Repository-VA'' to ``Enterprise Identity and Demographics Records-VA''.
    The System Number will be changed from 150VA19 to 150VA10 to 
reflect the current VHA organizational routing symbol.
    The System Location has been updated to replace Austin Automation

[[Page 75388]]

Center with Austin Information Technology Center (AITC). The section 
will include that records are also hosted in a Federal Information 
Security Management Act (FISMA)--high VA Enterprise Cloud (VAEC). At 
the Enterprise Level this information is stored and maintained within 
the VA Master Person Index (VA MPI), which is defined as the 
authoritative data source for this information. The section was also 
amended to remove the statement, ``Information from these records or 
copies of records may be maintained at the Department of Veterans 
Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue NW, Washington, DC, VA Data Processing 
Centers, VA CIO Field Offices, Veterans Integrated Service Network.''
    The System Manager is being updated to remove ``Chief Information 
Officer'' and replace ``Director National Data Systems'' with 
``Director Data Quality [email protected], 
Enterprise Help Desk 855-673-4357.''
    The Purpose has been amended to remove that the following: 
``records are used to establish person identity throughout only the VHA 
enterprise'' and has been expanded to the VA enterprise. The purpose of 
the system of records is to provide a repository for the administrative 
information that is used to accomplish the purposes described within 
this document including determining Veteran benefits and eligibility. 
The records include information provided by patients, providers, 
employees, volunteers, trainees, contractors and others that receive IT 
access to our computer systems and information obtained during routine 
work, including VHA patient care. Quality assurance information that is 
protected by 38 U.S.C. 7311 and 38 CFR 17.500-17.511 is not within the 
scope of the Privacy Act and, therefore, is not included in this system 
of records or filed in a manner in which the information may be 
retrieved by reference to an individual identifier.''
    The Purpose section will now reflect the following language: ``The 
purpose of these records is to serve as the source for the information 
necessary to uniquely identify a person across Veterans Health 
Administration, act as a record locator system for person records 
across the Administration, master the identity data and synchronize 
updates and changes to all the systems that know that person. The data 
may be used for VA's extensive research programs in accordance with VA 
policy. The data is used to identify and provide benefits for all 
persons of interest to VA and to establish the Integration Control 
Number (ICN) as VA's unique enterprise identifier. The information will 
also be used to identify the VA MPI as authoritative for this data and 
defines the mastering and synchronizing of this data with integrated 
partners. The VA MPI also provides authoritative data for the identity 
of Veterans and beneficiaries; current and former patients; Veterans 
Health Administration (VHA), Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) and 
National Cemetery Administration (NCA) beneficiaries; employees; 
providers; volunteers; trainees; contractors; and individuals working 
collaboratively with VA. These identity management services are used 
across the enterprise and with external sharing partners.''
    The Categories of Individuals Covered by this System is being 
amended to include caregivers; patients; current and former VHA, VBA, 
and NCA beneficiaries. Also included are individuals examined or 
treated under contract or resource sharing agreements; individuals who 
have applied for 38 U.S.C. ch. 1 benefits, but do not meet the 
requirements under 38 U.S.C. ch. 1 to receive such benefits; 
individuals who were provided medical care under emergency conditions 
for humanitarian reasons and pensioned members of allied forces 
provided healthcare services under 38 U.S.C. ch. 1.
    The Categories of Records in the System is being amended to replace 
``1. Administrative assignments or categorization of duties of certain 
VHA personnel'' with ``1. Information used to establish unique 
enterprise identifiers, VA ICNs and all associated system identifiers 
and related metadata. This information is used to create a unique 
identifier for all persons of interest to VA and all other systems that 
have integrated with the VA MPI.''
    The following text within Categories of Records in the System will 
be removed: ``2. education and continuing education (e.g., name and 
address of schools and dates of attendance, courses attended and 
scheduled to attend, grades, type of degree, certificate, etc.); 
information related to military service and status; qualifications for 
employment (e.g., license, degree, registration or certification, 
experience); Veteran enrollment and eligibility information including 
financial assessments.'' This will now be replaced with ``2. Identity 
information such as name, date of birth, birth sex, administrative sex, 
self-identified gender identity, pronoun, preferred name, Social 
Security Number, taxpayer identification number, date of death). Other 
demographic information such as home and/or mailing address, home 
telephone number, emergency contact information such as name, address, 
telephone number and relationship; and associated audit and necessary 
metadata.''
    Additionally, being removed from this section is: ``3. Electronic 
messages used for network communication between VHA systems.''
    Record Source Categories is being updated to remove: ``Information 
in this system of records is provided by patients, employees, 
providers, IT users, and others that work collaboratively with VHA.'' 
This section will now reflect the following language: ``Information in 
this system of records is provided by Veterans, VA employees, VA Health 
Eligibility Center, VHA Program Offices, VA medical facilities, VISNs 
and the following Systems Of Records: Veterans Health Information 
Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA) Records-VA (79VA10), 
Veterans Affairs Profile-VA (VA Profile) (192VA30) and any associated 
system of records that is utilizing VA MPI identity management 
services.''
    The following routine uses have been added:
    12. Federal Agencies, for Research: To a Federal agency to conduct 
research and data analysis to perform a statutory purpose of that 
Federal agency upon the prior written request of that agency, provided 
that there is legal authority under all applicable confidentiality 
statutes and regulations to provide the data and the VHA Office of 
Informatics has determined prior to the disclosure that VHA data 
handling requirements are satisfied.
    13. Housing and Urban Development (HUD): To HUD for the purpose of
