SUMMARY: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has conducted a
comprehensive review of all Privacy Act systems of records and is
publishing the resulting revisions. None of the revisions meet the OMB

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM:
Users of Library Services.

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
Name, organization, address, phone number, photographs, issue date,
email address, signature, user code and identification number; and when
applicable, credit card number and billing information.

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:
Section 301 of the Public Health Service Act, describing the
general powers and duties of the Public Health Service relating to
research and investigation (42 U.S.C. 241).

PURPOSE(S):
1. To monitor library material, services, and circulation control.
2. To provide user documentation.
3. To provide copying services (duplication of library materials).
4. To manage invoice and billing transactions for library services.

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES
OF USERS AND THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:
1. Disclosure may be made to a congressional office from the record
of an individual in response to an inquiry from the congressional
office made at the request of that individual.
2. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) may disclose
information from this system of records to the Department of Justice,
or to a court or other tribunal, when (a) HHS, or any component
thereof; or (b) any HHS employee in his or her official capacity; or
(c) any HHS employee in his or her individual capacity where the
Department of Justice (or HHS, where it is authorized to do so) has
agreed to represent the employee; or (d) the United States or any
agency thereof where HHS determines that the litigation is likely to
affect HHS or any of its components, is a party to litigation or has an
interest in such litigation, and HHS determines that the use of such
records by the Department of Justice, court or other tribunal is
relevant and necessary to the litigation and would help in the
effective representation of the governmental party provided, however,
that in each case, HHS determines that such disclosure is compatible
with the purpose for which the records were collected.
3. Disclosure may be made to contractors and staff to monitor
library material, services, circulation control; to provide user
documentation; and to process or refine the records. Recipients are
required to maintain Privacy Act safeguards with respect to those
records.
4. Disclosure may be made for billing purposes to: (a) contractors
providing copying services: and (b) NTIS for Medlars Services.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING,
AND DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
STORAGE:
Records are stored on computer tape and disk, microfiche, paper and
file cards.

RETRIEVABILITY:
Records are retrieved by name, user code and/or identification
number.

SAFEGUARDS:
1. Authorized Users: Employees who maintain records in this system
are instructed to grant regular access only to Library staff members
who need to verify that Library identification cards have been issued
to those Library users requesting services such as MEDLINE and other
computer online bibliographic searches, translations and interlibrary
loans. Other one-time and special access by other employees is granted
on a need-to-know basis as specifically authorized by the system
manager. The contractor maintains a list of personnel having authority
to access records to perform their duties.
2. Physical Safeguards: The offices housing the cabinets and file
drawers for storage of records are locked during all library off-duty
hours. During all duty hours offices are attended by employees who
maintain the files. The contractor has secured records storage areas
which are not left unattended during the working hours and file
cabinets which are locked after hours.
3. Procedural Safeguards: Access to the file is strictly controlled
by employees who maintain the files. Records may be removed from files
only at the request of the system manager or other authorized
employees. Access to computerized records is controlled by the use of
security codes known only to authorized users. Contractor personnel
receive instruction concerning the significance of safeguards under the
Privacy Act.
These practices are in compliance with the standards of Chapter 45-
13 of the HHS General Administration Manual, ``Safeguarding Records
Contained in Systems of Records,'' supplementary Chapter PHS hf: 45-13,
and the HHS Automated Information Systems Security Program Handbook.

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:
Records are retained and disposed of under the authority of the NIH
Records Control Schedule contained in NIH Manual Chapter 1743, Appendix
1--``Keeping and Destroying Records'' (HHS Records Management Manual,
Appendix B-361), item 8000-D-2, which allows records to be kept until
superseded or for a maximum period of six years. Refer to the NIH
Manual Chapter for specific conditions on disposal.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING,
AND DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
STORAGE:
Records are stored in file folders and/or on microfiche, and on
computer tapes.

RETRIEVABILITY:
Records are retrieved by unit number and patient name.

SAFEGUARDS:
Measures to prevent unauthorized disclosures are implemented as
appropriate for each location and for the particular records maintained
in each project. Each site implements personnel, physical, and
procedural safeguards such as the following:
1. Authorized Users: Employees maintaining records in this system
are instructed to grant regular access only to physicians and dentists
and other health care professionals officially participating in patient
care, to contractors, or to NIH researchers specifically authorized by
the system manager.
2. Physical Safeguards: All record facilities are locked when
system personnel are not present.
3. Procedural Safeguards: Access to files is strictly controlled by
the system manager. Records may be removed only by system personnel
following receipt of a request signed by an authorized user. Access to
computerized records is controlled by the use of security codes known
only to the authorized user. Codes are user-and function-specific.
Contractor compliance is assured through inclusion of Privacy Act
requirements in contract clauses, and through monitoring by contract
and project officers. Contractors who maintain records in this system
are instructed to make no disclosure of the records except as
authorized by the system manager.
These practices are in compliance with the standards of Chapter 45-
13 of the HHS General Administration Manual, ``Safeguarding Records
Contained in Systems of Records,'' supplementary Chapter PHS hf: 45-13,
and the HHS Automated Information Systems Security Program Handbook.

the designated representative. The individual will be informed in
writing if the record is sent to the representative.
A parent or guardian who requests notification of or access to a
child's/incompetent person's record shall designate a family physician
