    SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), the 
    National Science Foundation is providing notice of a new system of 
    records--NSF-59, ``Science and Technology (STC) Database.''
        This system is established and maintained by NSF. The records are 
    to be used to help evaluate the Science and Technology Centers' 
    achievements of program goals, such as diversity of participants and 
    enhancements of skills. Evaluation will include followup surveys of 
    Center participants.
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: Sections 552a(e) (4) and (11) of Title 5 of the U.S. 
    Code requires that the public have thirty days to comment on the 
    routine uses of systems of records. The new routine uses that are the 
    subject of this notice will take effect thirty days from date of this 
    publication, unless modified by a subsequent notice to incorporate 
    comments received from the public.
    
    ADDRESSES: Written comments should be submitted to the NSF Privacy Act 
    Officer, National Science Foundation, Division of Contracts, Policy and 
    Oversight, 4201 Wilson Boulevard, room 485, Arlington, Virginia 22230.

    Foundation, 4201 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, VA 22230.
        Individuals participating in NSF funded Science and Technology 
    Center activities.
        Records include the names, SSNs, areas of research, race, 
    ethnicity, genders, and other related information. They may also 
    include the results of followup surveys of Center participants. The 
    records will be used to help evaluate the Centers' achievement of 
    program goals, such as diversity of participants and enhancement of 
    skills. Evaluation will include followup surveys of Center 
    participants. The results of the evaluations will be statistical and 
    will not identify individual participants.
        Information from the system may be given to contractors and other 
    individuals who perform a service to or work under a contract, 
    cooperative agreement or other arrangement for the Federal government.
        All original materials are kept at NSF.
        By Center and then alphabetically by individual.
        Building is locked during non-business hours. Records at NSF are 
    kept in rooms that are locked during non-business hours. Records 
    maintained by NSF contractors are kept in similar rooms and some 
    records are locked in cabinets. Records maintained in electronic forms 
    are accessible only to those employees within the Office of Science and 
    Technology Infrastructure.
        A records retention schedule has not yet been approved.
        Associate Director, Office of Science and Technology 
    Infrastructure, National Science Foundation, 4201 Wilson Boulevard,
