DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

National Institutes of Health


Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Health and 
Human Services.

ACTION: Rescindment of a system of records notice.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 
1974, as amended, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), 
through the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is rescinding a system 
of records titled ``Administration: Senior Staff, HHS/NIH/NIAID,'' 
system number 09-25-0087. The records are no longer needed for agency 
business, so are no longer retrieved by names or other personal 
identifiers. Because of this, the records no longer qualify as a 
Privacy Act system of records, and it is appropriate to rescind the 
system of records.

DATES: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4), this notice is 
applicable upon publication.

ADDRESSES: The public may submit written comments on this notice, by 
mail or email, to Dustin Close, Office of Management Assessment, 
National Institutes of Health, 6705 Rockledge Drive, Suite 601, 
Bethesda, MD 20892, or email [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: General questions about the system of 
records may be submitted to Dustin Close, Office of Management 
Assessment, National Institutes of Health, 6705 Rockledge Drive, Suite 
601, Bethesda, MD 20892, telephone 301-496-4606, email 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HHS/NIH is rescinding a system of records, 
titled ``Administration: Senior Staff, HHS/NIH/NIAID,'' system number 
09-25-0087. The records consist of paper files containing biographical 
information about key professional employees and consultants that was 
used for public announcements and press releases about National 
Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) research. The 
records have not been used since 2013 and are no longer needed for 
agency business, so are no longer retrieved by personal identifier. For 
these reasons, the records no longer qualify as a Privacy Act system of 
records. Because they have historical value, they will be transferred 
to the Office of NIH History and Stetten Museum for continued 
preservation, as authorized by National Archives and Records 
Administration-approved records disposition schedule 11-203 
(disposition authority DAA-GRS-2016-0005-0003), after removing any 
sensitive information.
    For the foregoing reasons, the below system of records is hereby 
rescinded:

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:
    Administration: Senior Staff, HHS/NIH/NIAID, 09-25-0087.

HISTORY:
    67 FR 60742 (Sept. 26, 2002), 83 FR 6591 (Feb. 14, 2018).

Alfred C. Johnson,
Deputy Director for Management, National Institutes of Health.
