E7-23059. Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records-Investigatory Material Compiled for Personnel Security, Suitability, Positive Identification Verification and Access Control for the Department of Education Security Tracking and Reporting System (...

AGENCY:

Office of Management, Department of Education.

ACTION:

Notice of altered and deleted systems of records.

SUMMARY:

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (Privacy Act), the Department of Education (Department), publishes this notice to amend and rename the system of records entitled “Investigatory Material Compiled for Personnel Security and Suitability Purposes” (18-05-17) as “Investigatory Material Compiled for Personnel Security, Suitability, Positive Identification Verification and Access Control for the Department of Education Security Tracking and Reporting System (EDSTAR)” (18-05-17) and to delete the system of records entitled “Identification Media Records” (18-05-16). The Department is taking these actions because these systems of records have been merged into and consolidated with the EDSTAR system of records.

EDSTAR is designed to implement the requirements of Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD)-12. HSPD-12 is a Presidential directive that requires the promulgation of a Federal standard to ensure a common, governmentwide standard for secure and reliable forms of Personal Identity Verification (PIV). On February 25, 2005, the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST's) Computer Security Division issued Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 201, entitled “Personal Identity Verification of Federal Employees and Contractors”, in order to satisfy the requirements of HSPD-12 to improve the identification and authentication of Federal employees and contractors for access to Federal facilities and information systems.

The Department maintains records in EDSTAR for the purpose of making individual positive identification verification, adjudication determinations concerning suitability for Federal employment and contract positions, decisions concerning access to the Department's facilities and information systems, and information related to the issuance of PIV and FIPS compliant identification media and access to restricted areas. Because many of these records are currently covered by the systems of records entitled “Identification Media Records” (18-05-16) and “Investigatory Material Compiled for Personnel Security and Suitability Purposes” (18-05-17), the Department is merging and consolidating these systems of records by amending and renaming the “Investigatory Material Compiled for Personnel Security and Suitability Purposes” (18-05-17) system as EDSTAR and deleting the system of records for “Identification Media Records” (18-05-16).

DATES:

We must receive your comments about the altered and deleted systems of records notice on or before December 27, 2007.

The Department filed a report describing the altered system of records covered by this notice with the Chair of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, the Chair of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and the Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on November 21, 2007. The altered system of records will become effective at the later date of—(1) The expiration of the 40-day period for OMB review on December 31, 2007 or (2) December 27, 2007, unless the system of records needs to be changed as a result of public comment or OMB review.

Note 3:

Disclosures within the Department of data pertaining to date and time of entry and exit of a Department employee working in the District of Columbia may not be made to supervisors, managers, or any other persons (other than the individual to whom the information applies) to verify employee time and attendance records for personnel actions because 5 U.S.C. 6106 prohibits Federal Executive agencies (other than the Bureau of Engraving and Printing) from using a recording clock within the District of Columbia, unless used as a part of a flexible schedule or compressed work schedule under 5 U.S.C. 6120, et seq.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES OF STORING, RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:

STORAGE:

Records are maintained on paper and in electronic form. Paper records are stored in fire resistant locked file cabinets in locked access-controlled rooms. Within the locked access-controlled room, electronic files are encrypted and stored in alarmed electronic retrieval file systems. The data servers, the laptops, and the desk computers where the data resides are in locked access-controlled rooms.

PIV identification card data on cardholders entering the Department's facilities is stored in an encrypted database.

RETRIEVABILITY:

Electronic and paper records are retrieved by an unique identifying number by the Department pursuant to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 201, Personal Identity Verification for Federal Employees and Contractors; this number is cross-referenced to the name of the individual.

SAFEGUARDS:

All physical access to the Department's sites, and the sites of the Department's contractors where this system of records is maintained, is controlled and monitored by security personnel who check each individual entering the building for his or her employee or visitor badge.

In accordance with the Department's Administrative Communications System (ACS) Directive OM: 5-101 entitled “Contractor Employee Personnel Security Screenings,” all contract and Department personnel who have facility access and system access are required to undergo a security clearance investigation. Individuals requiring access to Privacy Act data are required to hold, at a minimum, a moderate-risk security clearance level. These individuals are required to undergo periodic screening at five-year intervals.

In addition to undergoing a security clearance investigation, contract and Department personnel are required to complete security awareness training on an annual basis. This training is required to ensure that contract and Department users are trained appropriately in safeguarding Privacy Act data in accordance with OMB Circular No. A-130, Appendix III.

Computer databases are kept on encrypted servers on an isolated virtual local area network (V-LAN) that is not connected to any outside network including the Internet. Database accessibility is restricted to hard wire network connection from within the Office Management, Security Services, and direct Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) line to the Department of Justice (DOJ), or via secure portal to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Authorized log-on codes and passwords prevent unauthorized users from gaining access to data and system resources. All users have unique log-on codes and passwords. The password scheme requires that users must change passwords every 60 days and may not repeat the old password.

Any individual attempting to log on who fails is locked out of the system after three attempts. Access after that time requires intervention by the system manager.

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:

Most background investigative records are maintained in accordance with General Records Schedule (GRS) 18, Item 22—destroy not later than five years after separation or transfer of employee or no later than five years after contract relationship expires, whichever is later. Records are destroyed by deletion or shredding.

Reports of background investigations conducted by the Office of Inspector General under delegated authority of the OPM are retained in accordance with OPM retention standards for similar records, pending National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) approval. Records will be maintained for 15 years after the last investigative activity, except investigations involving potentially actionable issue(s) will be maintained for 25 years after the last investigative activity and then destroyed by deletion or shredding.

Personal access logs of individuals entering controlled space are retained in accordance with GRS 18, Item 17. In the Department's secured facilities, records are destroyed five years after final entry or five years after date of document, as appropriate. For all other facilities, records are destroyed two years after final entry or two years after date of document, as appropriate. Records are destroyed by deletion or shredding.

PKI certificates and PIV cards issued under guidance of HSPD-12 and FIPS-201 will be retained in accordance with the pending GRS disposition authority as issued by NARA, or in a NARA-approved, Departmental records retention schedule, as appropriate.
