DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND
HUMAN SERVICES
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services
Privacy Act of 1974; Report of a
Modified or Altered System
Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS), Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
ACTION: Notice of a Modified or Altered
System of Records (SOR).
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: In accordance with the
requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974,
we are proposing to modify or alter an
existing SOR, ‘‘Record of Individuals
Authorized Entry to the Health Care
Financing Administration (HCFA)
Building via a Card Key Access System
(RICKS), System No. 09–70–3001’’ last
modified 66 FR 15264 (March 16, 2001).
The name of the Agency has been
changed from HCFA to the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
We will modify the system name to
read: ‘‘Record of Individuals Authorized
Entry to the CMS Building via a Card
Key Access System (RICKS).’’ We
propose to assign a new CMS
identification number to this system to
simplify the obsolete and confusing
numbering system originally designed
to identify the Bureau, Office, or Center
that maintained information in the
HCFA systems of records. The new
assigned identifying number for this
system should read: System No. 09–70–
0518.
We propose to modify existing routine
use number 1 that permits disclosure to
agency contractors and consultants to
include disclosure to CMS grantees who
perform a task for the agency. CMS
grantees, charged with completing
projects or activities that require CMS
data to carry out that activity, are
classified separate from CMS
contractors and/or consultants. The
modified routine use will remain as
routine use number 1. We will delete
routine use number 3 authorizing
disclosure to support constituent
requests made to a congressional
representative. If an authorization for
the disclosure has been obtained from
the data subject, then no routine use is
needed. The Privacy Act allows for
disclosures with the ‘‘prior written
consent’’ of the data subject.

Sfmt 4703
We are modifying the language in the
remaining routine uses to provide a
proper explanation as to the need for the
routine use and to provide clarity to
CMS’s intention to disclose individualspecific information contained in this
system. The routine uses will then be
prioritized and reordered according to
their usage. We will also take the
opportunity to update any sections of
the system that were affected by the
recent reorganization or because of the
impact of the Medicare Prescription
Drug, Improvement, and Modernization
Act of 2003 (MMA) (Pub. L. 108–173)
provisions and to update language in
the administrative sections to
correspond with language used in other
CMS SORs.
The primary purpose of the system of
records is to issue and control United
States Government card keys to all CMS
employees and other authorized
individuals who require access into
certain designated or secured areas.
Information retrieved from this system
of records will also be disclosed to: (1)
Support regulatory, reimbursement, and
policy functions performed within the
agency or by a contractor, consultant or
grantee; (2) assist another Federal
agency to conduct activities related to
this system; and (3) support litigation
involving the agency. We have provided
background information about the
modified system in the SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION section below. Although
the Privacy Act requires only that CMS
provide an opportunity for interested
persons to comment on the routine uses,
CMS invites comments on all portions
of this notice. See ‘‘Effective Dates’’
section for comment period.
DATES: Effective Dates: CMS filed a
modified or altered system report with
the Chair of the House Committee on
Government Reform and Oversight, the
Chair of the Senate Committee on
Homeland Security & Governmental
Affairs, and the Administrator, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) on November 13, 2006. To
ensure that all parties have adequate
time in which to comment, the modified
system, including routine uses, will
become effective 30 days from the
publication of the notice, or 40 days
from the date it was submitted to OMB
and Congress, whichever is later, unless
CMS receives comments that require
alterations to this notice.
ADDRESSES: The public should address
comments to: CMS Privacy Officer,
Division of Privacy Compliance,
Enterprise Architecture and Strategy
Group, Office of Information Services,
CMS, Room N2–04–27, 7500 Security
