aristolochic acid, and riddelliine) under
consideration for possible listing in the
12th RoC. The available scientific and
exposure information on botanical
products containing aristolochic acid
and aristolochic acid overlap is
described in one background document
(aristolochic acid related exposures);
however, the expert panel will be asked
to make separate recommendations for
listing status for each candidate
substance. The draft background
documents for aristolochic acid related
exposures and riddelliine will be
available on the RoC Web site on
November 13, 2007, or in printed text
from the RoC Director (see ADDRESSES
above). Persons can register free-ofcharge with the NTP listserv to receive
notification when draft RoC background
documents for other candidate
substances for the 12th RoC are made
available on the RoC Web site (https://
ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/231).
Botanical products containing
aristolochic acid are used in traditional
folk medicines, particularly in Chinese
herbal medicine and have been used
inadvertently as part of a weight-loss
regimen. Aristolochic acid is a generic
name for a family of nitrophenanthrene
carboxylic acids that occurs naturally in
plants in the Aristolochiaceae family,
primarily of the genera Aristolochia and
Asarum. Riddelliine is a pyrrolizidine
alkaloid that occurs in plants of the
genus Senecio that are found in sandy
desert areas of the western United States
and other parts of the world. Humans
may be exposed to riddelliine via direct
contamination of foodstuffs by parts of
Senecio plants or from indirect
introduction of the alkaloid through
products derived from animals that have
fed on the plants. Pyrrolizidine alkaloid
residues have been detected in honey.
Request for Comments
The NTP invites written public
comments on the draft background
documents on aristolochic acid related
exposures and riddelliine. All
comments received will be posted on
the RoC Web site prior to the meeting
and distributed to the expert panel and
RoC staff for their consideration in the
peer review of the draft background
documents and/or preparing for the
expert panel meeting. Persons
submitting written comments are asked
to include their name and contact
information (affiliation, mailing address,
telephone and facsimile numbers, email, and sponsoring organization, if
any) and send them to Dr. Jameson (see
ADDRESSES above) for receipt by January
11, 2008. Time is set-aside on January
24–25, 2008, for the presentation of oral
public comments at the expert panel

sponsoring organization (if any). If
possible, send a copy of the statement
or talking points to Dr. Jameson by
January 18, 2008. This statement will be
provided to the expert panel to assist
them in identifying issues for discussion
and will be noted in the meeting record.
Registration for presentation of oral
comments will also be available at the
meeting on January 24–25, 2008, from
7:30–8:30 a.m. Persons registering at the
meeting are asked to bring 25 copies of
their statement or talking points for
distribution to the expert panel and for
the record.
Preliminary Agenda, Availability of
Meeting Topics and Registration
Preliminary agenda topics include:
• Oral public comments on
aristolochic acid related exposures.
• Peer review of the background
document on aristolochic acid related
exposures.
• Recommendation for listing status
in the 12th RoC for botanical products
containing aristolochic acid and for
aristolochic acid.
• Oral public comments on
riddelliine.
• Peer review of the background

for the meeting.
Background Information on the RoC
The RoC is a congressionally
mandated document that identifies and
discusses agents, substances, mixtures,
or exposure circumstances (collectively
referred to as ‘‘substances’’) that may
pose a hazard to human health by virtue
of their carcinogenicity. Substances are
listed in the report as either known or
reasonably anticipated human

carcinogens. The NTP prepares the RoC
on behalf of the Secretary of Health and
Human Services. Information about the
RoC and the nomination process can be
obtained from its homepage (https://
ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/roc) or by
contacting Dr. Jameson (see FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT above). The NTP
follows a formal, multi-step process for
review and evaluation of selected
chemicals. The formal evaluation
process is available on the RoC Web site
(https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/15208) or in
printed copy from the RoC Director.

Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS), Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice of a Modified System of
Records (SOR).
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: In accordance with the
requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974,
we are proposing to modify an existing
SOR titled, ‘‘Individuals Authorized
Access to Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS) Computer
Services (IACS), System No. 09–70–
0064,’’ most recently modified at 67 FR
48911 (July 26, 2002). 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 Health
Care Financing Administration systems
of records. The new identifying number
for this system should read: System No.
09–70–0538.
We propose to broaden the scope of
this system to include a CMS service

planned to provide a centralized user
provisioning and administration service
that supports the creation, deletion, and
lifecycle management of enterprise
identities. This service creates accounts,
supports Role Based Access Control
(RBAC), and provides business
application integration points. RBAC is
a form flow approval process and
enterprise identity audit and
recertification based on the role of the
individual. The business application
integration point allows business
application owners to use the form flow
process of the user provisioning service
to approve or deny requests for access
to business applications. This
modification will permit CMS to
implement a unified framework for
managing user information and access
rights, for those individuals who apply
for and are granted access across
multiple CMS systems and business
contexts.
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 2 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. Finally, we
will delete the section titled
‘‘Additional Circumstances Affecting
Routine Use Disclosures,’’ that
addresses ‘‘Protected Health Information
(PHI)’’ and ‘‘small cell size.’’ The
requirement for compliance with HHS
regulation ‘‘Standards for Privacy of
Individually Identifiable Health
Information’’ does not apply because
this system does not collect or maintain
PHI. In addition, our policy to prohibit
release if there is a possibility that an
individual can be identified through
‘‘small cell size’’ is not applicable to the
data maintained in this system.
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
