SUMMARY: In accordance with the
Privacy Act of 1974, as amended
(Privacy Act), 5 United States Code
(U.S.C.) 552a, the Chief Operating
Officer for Federal Student Aid (FSA) of
the U.S. Department of Education (the
Department) publishes this notice
proposing to revise the system of
records entitled ‘‘Student Aid Internet
Gateway (SAIG), Participation
Management System’’ (18–11–10).
The SAIG, Participation Management
System is a system of records containing
contact information that individuals
affiliated with an authorized entity
provide to request electronic access to
the Department’s Title IV Federal
Student Aid Systems. This notice
updates the categories of individuals
covered by this system to include
individuals affiliated with secondary
schools, local educational agencies
(LEAs) and States who are authorized by
the Department and their respective
secondary school, LEA or State to access
the Department’s Title IV Federal
Student Aid Systems.
This change to the SAIG, Participation
Management System is needed to enable
the Department to implement a program
designed to improve access and promote
enrollment in postsecondary education
by facilitating students’ completion of
the Free Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA). As part of this program
(the FAFSA Completion program), the
Department will authorize a small
number of secondary schools and LEAs
to enroll through the SAIG,

Participation Management System to
enable these entities to use the
Department’s Title IV Federal Student
Aid Systems to obtain information about
their students’ completion of the
FAFSA. In future years, the Department
may seek to expand the FAFSA
Completion program to other secondary
schools, LEAs, and States across the
Nation, which would substantially
expand the number of secondary
schools, LEAs and States approved by
the Department to access the
Department’s Title IV Federal Student
Aid Systems to determine whether their
students have completed the FAFSA.
While the FAFSA Completion
program provided the initial impetus for
the Department to update the SAIG,
Participation Management System, the
Department has also determined that
other changes are appropriate.
Specifically, through this notice, the
Department proposes to update the
system locations, the categories of
records maintained in this system, the
system’s purposes, and the system’s
routine uses (by, for example, adding an
additional routine use, as required by
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB)).
DATES: We must receive your comments
about this proposed system of records
on or before May 19, 2010.
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 April 14, 2010. This altered
system of records will become effective
at the later date of: (1) The expiration of
the 40-day period for OMB review on
May 24, 2010; or (2) the expiration of a
30-day OMB Review period on May 19,
2010, if OMB grants the Department’s
request for a 10-day waiver of the
review period, unless the system of
records needs to be changed as a result
of public comment or OMB review.

the proposed altered system of records

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Preamble
The Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4))
requires the Department to publish in
the Federal Register this notice of an
altered system of records maintained by
the Department. The Department’s
regulations implementing the Privacy
Act are contained in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) in 34 CFR part 5b.
The Privacy Act applies to a record
about an individual that is maintained
in a system of records from which
information is retrieved by a unique
identifier associated with each
individual, such as a name or Social
Security number. The information about
each individual is called a ‘‘record,’’ and
the system, whether manual or
computer-based, is called a ‘‘system of
records.’’
The Privacy Act requires each agency
to publish notices of altered systems of
records in the Federal Register and to
prepare, whenever the agency publishes
a new system of records or makes a
PO 00000

significant change to an established
system of records, reports to the Chair
of House Committee on Oversight and
Government Reform of the House of
Representatives, and the Chair of the
Committee on Homeland Security and
Governmental Affairs of the Senate, and
the Administrator of the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs,
OMB.
A system of records is considered
‘‘altered’’ whenever an agency expands
the types or categories of information
maintained, significantly expands the
types or categories of individuals about
whom records are maintained, changes
the purpose for which the information
is used, changes the equipment
configuration in a way that creates
substantially greater access to the
records, or adds a routine use disclosure
to the system. Since the last correction
to this system of records, which was
published in the Federal Register on
January 28, 2005 (70 FR 4112–4115), a
number of changes are needed to update
the current system of records. Most
significantly, this notice updates the
categories of individuals covered by this
system to include individuals affiliated
with secondary schools, LEAs and
States who are authorized by the
Department and their respective
secondary school, LEA or State to access
the Department’s Title IV Federal
Student Aid Systems. This notice also
updates the system locations, the
categories of records maintained in the
system, the system’s purposes, adds an
additional routine use disclosure that is
required by OMB, and makes other
minor updates to the system.

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records
AGENCY: Federal Student Aid, Department of Education.
ACTION: Notice of an altered system of records.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended
(Privacy Act), 5 United States Code (U.S.C.) 552a, the Chief Operating
Officer for Federal Student Aid (FSA) of the U.S. Department of
Education (the Department) publishes this notice proposing to revise
the system of records entitled ``Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG),
Participation Management System'' (18-11-10).
The SAIG, Participation Management System is a system of records
containing contact information that individuals affiliated with an
authorized entity provide to request electronic access to the
Department's Title IV Federal Student Aid Systems. This notice updates
the categories of individuals covered by this system to include
individuals affiliated with secondary schools, local educational
agencies (LEAs) and States who are authorized by the Department and
their respective secondary school, LEA or State to access the
Department's Title IV Federal Student Aid Systems.
This change to the SAIG, Participation Management System is needed
to enable the Department to implement a program designed to improve
access and promote enrollment in postsecondary education by
facilitating students' completion of the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA). As part of this program (the FAFSA Completion
program), the Department will authorize a small number of secondary
schools and LEAs to enroll through the SAIG,
[[Page 20347]]
Participation Management System to enable these entities to use the
Department's Title IV Federal Student Aid Systems to obtain information
about their students' completion of the FAFSA. In future years, the
Department may seek to expand the FAFSA Completion program to other
secondary schools, LEAs, and States across the Nation, which would
substantially expand the number of secondary schools, LEAs and States
approved by the Department to access the Department's Title IV Federal
Student Aid Systems to determine whether their students have completed
the FAFSA.
While the FAFSA Completion program provided the initial impetus for
the Department to update the SAIG, Participation Management System, the
Department has also determined that other changes are appropriate.
Specifically, through this notice, the Department proposes to update
the system locations, the categories of records maintained in this
system, the system's purposes, and the system's routine uses (by, for
example, adding an additional routine use, as required by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)).
DATES: We must receive your comments about this proposed system of
records on or before May 19, 2010.
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 April 14, 2010. This altered system of records will
become effective at the later date of: (1) The expiration of the 40-day
period for OMB review on May 24, 2010; or (2) the expiration of a 30-
day OMB Review period on May 19, 2010, if OMB grants the Department's
request for a 10-day waiver of the review period, unless the system of
records needs to be changed as a result of public comment or OMB
review.
ADDRESSES: Address all comments about the proposed altered system of
records to Director, Application Processing Division, Program
Management Systems, 830 First Street, NE., room 63C4, Union Center
Plaza (UCP), Washington, DC 20202-5454. If you prefer to send your
comments through the Internet, use the following address:
comments@ed.gov.
You must include the term ``Student Aid Internet Gateway,
Participation Management System'' in the subject line of your
electronic message.
During and after the comment period, you may inspect all public
comments about this notice in room 44D2, UCP, 4th Floor, 830 First
Street, NE., Washington, DC, between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.,
local time, Monday through Friday of each week except Federal holidays.
Assistance to Individuals With Disabilities in Reviewing the Rulemaking
Record
On request, we will supply an appropriate aid, such as a reader or
print magnifier, to an individual with a disability who needs
assistance to review the comments or other documents in the public
rulemaking record for this notice. If you want to schedule an
appointment for this type of aid, please contact the person listed
under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

paragraph.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Preamble
The Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4)) requires the Department to
publish in the Federal Register this notice of an altered system of
records maintained by the Department. The Department's regulations
implementing the Privacy Act are contained in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) in 34 CFR part 5b.
The Privacy Act applies to a record about an individual that is
maintained in a system of records from which information is retrieved
by a unique identifier associated with each individual, such as a name
or Social Security number. The information about each individual is
called a ``record,'' and the system, whether manual or computer-based,
is called a ``system of records.''
The Privacy Act requires each agency to publish notices of altered
systems of records in the Federal Register and to prepare, whenever the
agency publishes a new system of records or makes a significant change
to an established system of records, reports to the Chair of House
Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the House of
Representatives, and the Chair of the Committee on Homeland Security
and Governmental Affairs of the Senate, and the Administrator of the
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, OMB.
A system of records is considered ``altered'' whenever an agency
expands the types or categories of information maintained,
significantly expands the types or categories of individuals about whom
records are maintained, changes the purpose for which the information
is used, changes the equipment configuration in a way that creates
substantially greater access to the records, or adds a routine use
disclosure to the system. Since the last correction to this system of
records, which was published in the Federal Register on January 28,
2005 (70 FR 4112-4115), a number of changes are needed to update the
current system of records. Most significantly, this notice updates the
categories of individuals covered by this system to include individuals
affiliated with secondary schools, LEAs and States who are authorized
by the Department and their respective secondary school, LEA or State
to access the Department's Title IV Federal Student Aid Systems. This
notice also updates the system locations, the categories of records
maintained in the system, the system's purposes, adds an additional
routine use disclosure that is required by OMB, and makes other minor
updates to the system.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING,
AND DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
STORAGE:
Records are maintained in a computer database as well as in hard
copy. All hard copy forms are loaded into an imaging system accessible
through internal systems only. Paper documents less than 12-months old
are stored in locked file cabinets at the Vangent, Inc.
[[Page 20350]]
facility in Coralville, Iowa. Paper documents older than 12 months are
stored at Iron Mountain secure storage facility. Documents are stored
for three years after final contract payment. After the three-year
period, documents are subsequently sent to the Federal Records Center
for storage.
RETRIEVABILITY:
All individuals affiliated with authorized entities that have been
granted access (``users of the SAIG, Participant Management System'')
to the Department's Title IV Federal Student Aid Systems whose
information is included in this system of records have a unique user
identification (ID) with a password. Records are retrieved by the names
of the individual user and/or their unique system User ID.
SAFEGUARDS:
All users of the SAIG, Participation Management System will have a
unique user ID with a password.
All physical access to the data housed at the Pearson location and
within the VDC, and the locations of Department 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.
The computer system employed by the Department offers a high degree
of resistance to tampering and circumvention. This security system
limits data access to Department and contract staff on a ``need-to-
know'' basis, and controls individual users' ability to access and
alter records within the system.
All interactions by users of the SAIG, Participation Management
System are recorded.
RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:
Documents are stored for 3 years after a user of the SAIG,
Participation Management System's individual enrollment account is
terminated or closed. Thereafter, documents are sent to the Federal
Records Center for storage. These records are covered by the General
Records Schedule (GRS) 24, Item 6(a). The retention requirement is to
destroy/delete the record 6 years after the user account is terminated
or password is altered, or when no longer needed for investigative or
security purposes, whichever is later.
