disclosures, consistent with the Privacy
Act’s requirement that individuals be
made aware of how their records may be
disclosed, even if the FTC anticipates
that there may often be very limited or
no disclosure of an individual’s records
to third parties as part of the agency’s
investigatory or remedial efforts.
Developing fixed categories of access
for certain entities or individuals, as
EPIC suggests, would not appear to
confer significantly greater protection, if
any, for an individual’s records than
limiting disclosures to those that are
‘‘reasonably necessary.’’ The
determination of when disclosure is
‘‘reasonably necessary’’ will logically
depend on a case-by-case evaluation of
the specific circumstances of the breach,
including how much of an individual’s
information, if any, it is reasonably
necessary to disclose, and the specific
nature of the entities to whom such
information needs to be disclosed, in
order to investigate or respond to a
breach.5 Amending a routine use to
accommodate disclosures in response to
a breach is not a viable option when
there is a clear need to respond rapidly
and effectively in investigating and
mitigating the breach, in light of the
prior notice and comment requirements
of the Privacy Act for routine use
amendments.
Second, EPIC’s comment advocates
that consumers be notified as soon as
possible after a security breach results
in their personal information being
accessed by an unauthorized person,
and before notifying any other agency,
entity or individual. That issue,
however, is outside the scope of a
routine use notice under the Privacy
Act. The Act requires that agencies
notify individuals about the
establishment of a Privacy Act system of
records, the routine uses of such
systems of records, and additional
notice at the time that information in
such a system is collected from
individuals.
Nothing in the Act, however, governs
or provides criteria for determining
when notice of a data breach to affected
individuals would be appropriate or
not. Guidance on that issue has been
issued to all Federal agencies by the
Office of Management & Budget (OMB),
in conjunction with the President’s
Identity Theft Task Force, chaired by
the Attorney General and co-chaired by
the FTC Chairman.6 As stated in that
For example, under FTC rules, disclosures to
other law enforcement agencies may be made on a
confidential basis for law enforcement purposes.
See Commission Rule 4.11(c), 16 CFR 4.11(c).
6 See Memorandum for the Heads of Department
and Agencies, from Clay Johnson, Deputy Director
for Management, OMB, ‘‘Recommendations for

guidance, agencies must consider
various factors in determining whether
notice is appropriate in a given case.
The routine use published by the FTC
neither addresses nor is it intended to
supersede or supplant such guidance, or
any other applicable guidance that may
later arise in applicable statute, rule or
policy regarding when notice to
individuals must or should be given.
Accordingly, after consideration of
the above, the FTC has determined to
adopt the routine use for data breach as
originally published, and hereby
amends Appendix 1 of its Privacy Act
system notices, as published at 57 FR
45678, by adding the following new
routine use at the end of the existing
routine uses set forth in that Appendix:
***
To appropriate agencies, entities, and
persons when (1) the FTC suspects or
has confirmed that the security or
confidentiality of information in the
system of records has been
compromised; (2) the FTC has
determined that as a result of the
suspected or confirmed compromise
there is a risk of harm to economic or
property interests, identity theft or
fraud, or harm to the security or
integrity of this system or other systems
or programs (whether maintained by the
FTC or another agency or entity) that
rely upon the compromised
information; and (3) the disclosure
made to such agencies, entities, and
persons is reasonably necessary to assist
in connection with the FTC’s efforts to
respond to the suspected or confirmed
compromise and prevent, minimize, or
remedy such harm.
By direction of the Commission.

Proposed Project
Micro-Finance Project for HIV
Prevention—New—National Center for
HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB
Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC is requesting a one-year approval
from the Office of Management and
Budget to conduct focus groups and
administer a one-on-one qualitative
interview to women who are at risk for
HIV infection, and community leaders
in four communities, in the
southeastern United States. The purpose
of this project is to conduct formative
research to determine the most realistic
and efficacious approach for developing
a micro-finance project to reduce HIV/
STD-related risk behavior among
unemployed or underemployed highrisk African-American women in the
southeastern United States, who are
among those most at risk for HIV
infection in the country. The project
addresses goals of the CDC HIV
Prevention Strategic Plan, specifically
the goal of decreasing the number of
persons at high risk of acquiring or
transmitting HIV infection. Information
from this project will inform the
development of economic
empowerment interventions to reduce
risk for HIV infection. A focus group
will be conducted with eight women
(who are screened for eligibility) in each
of the four communities (a total of 32
women) in the southeast United State
with high prevalence of HIV and other
sexually transmitted diseases. Up to
eight women from each focus group (up
to 32 women) will participate in
individual interviews. Another focus
group will include community leaders
in each of the four communities (a total
of 32 individuals). The focus groups
will capture demographic information,
attitudes, and knowledge regarding
income-generating activities that are
feasible (can be done with small
capitalization and by these women with
some training and other preparation),
attractive (women will do this work),
and useful (likely to produce income to
address a reasonable proportion of
economic need; the community will use
the service or purchase the product of
the activity). The focus group
