SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Description of Proposed Systems of Records

    This system will collect a limited amount of personally 
identifiable information in order to provide service to Veterans, 
service members, reservists, and their spouses, surviving spouses, and 
dependents, who file claims for a wide variety of Federal veteran's 
benefits administered by VA at VA facilities located throughout the 
nation. See the statutory provisions cited in ``Authority for 
maintenance of the system.'' VA gathers or creates these records in 
order to enable it to administer these statutory benefits programs.
    The Department of the Veterans Affairs notices for systems of 
records subject to the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), as amended, 
have been published in the Federal Register and are available from the 
address above.
    The proposed system reports, as required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), of 
the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, were submitted to the House 
Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, the Senate Committee on 
Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, and the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) pursuant to paragraph 4c of Appendix I to 
OMB Circular No. A-130, ``Federal Agency Responsibilities for 
Maintaining Records About Individuals,'' dated February 8, 1996 (61 FR 
6427, February 20, 1996).
    The Purpose in this system of records is being added to provide 
explanation for the information collection and list affected 
individuals. In this system of records the name and address of the 
System Owner have been updated for accuracy.
    The notice of amendment and an advance copy of the system notice 
have been sent to the appropriate Congressional committees and to the 
Director of Office of Management and Budget (OMB) as required by 5 
U.S.C. 552a(r) and guidelines issued by OMB (65 FR 77677, December 12, 
2000).

II. Proposed Routine Use Disclosures of Data in the System

    The routine uses of records maintained in the system, including 
categories of users and the purposes of such uses, are being amended to 
protect the confidentiality and release of VA records subject to 38 
U.S.C. 5701, which prohibits disclosure under a routine use 
inconsistent with existing statutes. Routine use numbers 6, 7, 8, 9, 
10, 11 and 12 have been added in accordance with this authority.
    Routine use number 1 has been revised to require that individuals 
covered by this system provide written requests for disclosures to be 
made to members of Congress or their staff. Routine use 6 was added to 
allow for the disclosure of information to the National Archives and 
Records Administration (NARA) and the General Services Administration 
(GSA) in records management inspections conducted under authority of 
chapter 29 of title 44, United States Code. Routine use 7 was added to 
allow for the disclosure of information in this system of records to 
the Department of Justice (DoJ), either on VA's initiative or in 
response to DoJ's request for the information, after either VA or DoJ 
determines that such information is relevant to DoJ's representation of 
the United States or any of its components in legal proceedings before 
a court or adjudicative body, provided that, in each case, the agency 
also determines prior to disclosure that release of the records to DoJ 
is a use of the information contained in the records that is compatible 
with the purpose for which VA collected the records. VA, on its own 
initiative, may disclose records in this system of records in legal 
proceedings before a court or administrative body after determining 
that the disclosure of records to the court or administrative body is a 
use of the information contained in the records that is compatible with 
the purpose for which VA collected the records. Routine use 8 was added 
to allow for the disclosure of information to individuals, 
organizations, public or private agencies, or other entities with whom 
VA has a contract or agreement or where there is a subcontract to 
perform the services as VA may deem practicable for the purposes of 
laws administered by VA, in order for the contractor or subcontractor 
to perform the services of the contract or agreement. Routine use 9 was 
added to allow for the disclosure of information in this system, except 
the names and mailing addresses of veterans and their dependents, that 
is relevant to a suspected violation or reasonably imminent violation 
of law, whether civil, criminal or regulatory in nature and whether 
arising by general or program statute or by regulation, rule or order 
issued pursuant thereto, to a Federal, State, local, tribal, or foreign 
agency charged with the responsibility of investigating or prosecuting 
such violation, or charged with enforcing or implementing the statute, 
rule, regulation or order. Routine use 10 was added to allow for the 
disclosure of information to other Federal agencies to assist such 
agencies in preventing and detecting possible fraud or abuse by 
individuals in their operations and programs. Routine use 11 was added 
to allow for the disclosure of information or records to appropriate 
agencies, entities, and persons when (1) VA suspects or has confirmed 
that the integrity or confidentiality of information in the system of 
records has been compromised; (2) VA has determined that as a result of 
the suspected or confirmed compromise, there is a risk of embarrassment 
or harm to the reputations of the record subjects, harm to the economic 
or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the programs 
(whether maintained by VA or another agency or entity) that rely upon 
the potentially compromised information; and (3) the disclosure is to 
agencies, entities, or persons whom VA determines are reasonably 
necessary to assist or carry out VA's efforts to respond to the 
suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such 
harm. This routine use permits disclosures by VA to respond to a 
suspected or confirmed data breach, including the conduct of any risk 
analysis or provision of credit protection services as provided in 38 
U.S.C. 5724, as the terms are defined in 38 U.S.C. 5727. Routine use 12 
was added to allow for the disclosure of the name and mailing address 
of a VA beneficiary, and other information as is reasonably necessary 
to identify such a beneficiary, who has been adjudicated as incompetent 
under 38 CFR 3.353, to the Attorney General of the United States or 
his/her designee, for use by the Department of Justice in the National 
Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) mandated by the Brady 
Handgun Violence Prevention Act, Public Law 103-159.

    Approved: September 13, 2010.

[[Page 61863]]

name, military service information and the number of days interned as a 
POW may be disclosed at the request of the veteran to accredited

however, be disclosed to these individuals under this routine use if 
the veteran has not requested the assistance of an accredited service 
organization, claims agent or an attorney.
    3. Any information in this system may be disclosed to the Office of 
the Secretary of Defense, International Security Affairs (POW/MIA), 
upon their official request, in order to aid the Department in 
verifying the status of individuals who were prisoners of war or 
missing in action and/or in determining their most recent location.
    4. Any information in this system (excluding the name of a veteran 
unless the name is furnished by the requestor) may be disclosed to 
epidemiological and other research facilities approved by the Chief 
Medical Director to obtain data from those facilities necessary to 
assist in medical studies on veterans for the Veterans Administration 
or for any research purposes determined to be necessary and proper by 
the Chief Medical Director.
    5. The name(s) of a veteran may be disclosed to another Federal 
agency or to a contractor of that agency at the written request of the 
head of that agency for the purpose of conducting government research 
necessary to accomplish a statutory purpose of that agency.
    6. Disclosure may be made to the National Archives and Records 
Administration (NARA) and the General Services Administration (GSA) in 
records management inspections conducted under authority of chapter 29 
of title 44, United States Code.
    7. VA may disclose information from this system of records to the 
Department of Justice (DoJ), either on VA's initiative or in response 
to DoJ's request for the information, after either VA or DoJ determines 
that such information is relevant to DoJ's representation of the United 
States or any of its components in legal proceedings before a court or 
adjudicative body, provided that, in each case, the agency also 
determines prior to disclosure that release of the records to DoJ is a 
use of the information contained in the records that is compatible with 
the purpose for which VA collected the records. VA, on its on 
initiative, may disclose records in this system of records in legal 
proceedings before a court or administrative body after determining 
that the disclosure of records to the court or administrative body is a 
use of the information contained in the records that is compatible with 
the purpose for which VA collected the records.
    8. Disclosure of relevant information may be made to individuals, 
organizations, public or private agencies, or other entities with whom 
VA has a contract or agreement or where there is a subcontract to 
perform such services as VA may deem practicable for the purposes of 
laws administered by VA, in order for the contractor or subcontractor 
to perform the services of the contract or agreement.
    9. VA may disclose on its own initiative any information in this 
system, except the names and mailing addresses of veterans and their 
dependents, that is relevant to a suspected violation or reasonably 
imminent violation of law, whether civil, criminal or regulatory in 
nature and whether arising by general or program statute or by 
regulation, rule or order issued pursuant thereto, to a Federal, State, 
local, tribal, or foreign agency charged with the responsibility of 
investigating or prosecuting such violation, or charged with enforcing 
or implementing the statute, rule, regulation or order.
    10. Disclosure to other Federal agencies may be made to assist such 
agencies in preventing and detecting possible fraud or abuse by 
individuals in their operations and programs.
    11. VA may on its own initiative, disclose any information or 
records to appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when (1) VA 
suspects or has confirmed that the integrity or confidentiality of 
information in the system of records has been compromised; (2) VA has 
determined that as a result of the suspected or confirmed compromise, 
there is a risk of embarrassment or harm to the reputations of the 
record subjects, harm to the economic or property interests, identity 
theft or fraud, or harm to the programs (whether maintained by VA or 
another agency or entity) that rely upon the potentially compromised 
information; and (3) the disclosure is to agencies, entities, or 
persons whom VA determines are reasonably necessary to assist or carry 
out VA's efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise 
and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm. This routine use permits 
disclosures by VA to respond to a suspected or confirmed data breach, 
including the conduct of any risk analysis or provision of credit 
protection services as provided in 38 U.S.C. 5724, as the terms are 
defined in 38 U.S.C. 5727.
    12. The name and mailing address of a VA beneficiary, and other 
information as is reasonably necessary to identify such a beneficiary, 
who has been adjudicated as incompetent under 38 CFR 3.353, may be

designee, for use by the Department of Justice in the National Instant 
Criminal Background Check System (NICS) mandated by the Brady Handgun

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, 
AND DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
STORAGE:
    Records (or information contained in records) are maintained on 
paper documents in claims folders (C-folders), vocational 
rehabilitation folders, electronic file folders (e.g., Virtual VA and 
TIMS File), and on automated storage media (e.g., microfilm, 
microfiche, magnetic tape and disks). Such information may be accessed 
through data telecommunication terminal systems designated the Benefits 
Delivery Network (BDN), Virtual VA and Veterans Service Network 
(VETSNET). BDN, Virtual VA and VETSNET terminal locations include VA 
Central Office, regional offices, VA health care facilities, and 
Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) offices. Remote on-line 
access is also made available to authorized remote sites, 
representatives of claimants and to attorneys of record for claimants. 
A VA claimant must execute a prior written consent or a power of 
attorney authorizing access to his or her claims records before VA will 
allow the representative or attorney to have access to the claimant's 
automated claims records. Access by representatives and attorneys of 
record is to be used solely for the purpose of assisting an individual 
claimant whose records are accessed in a claim for benefits 
administered by VA.

RETRIEVABILITY:
    File folders, whether paper or electronic, are indexed by name of 
the individual, social security number, payee number, and type of 
benefit.

SAFEGUARDS:
    Access to the basic file in the Corporate Franchise Data Center in 
Austin, Texas is restricted to authorized VA employees and vendors. 
Access to working spaces and claims folder file

[[Page 61864]]

storage areas in VA regional offices and centers is restricted to VA 
employees on a need-to-know basis. Generally, file areas are locked 
after normal duty hours and the offices and centers are protected from 
outside access by the Federal Protective Service or other security 
personnel. Employee claims file records and claims file records of 
public figures are stored in separate locked files. Strict control 
measures are enforced to ensure that access to and disclosure from 
these claims file records are limited to a need-to-know basis.
    Access to BDN, Virtual VA, and VETSNET data telecommunication 
networks are by authorization controlled by the site security officer 
who is responsible for authorizing access to BDN, Virtual VA, and 
VETSNET by a claimant's representative or attorney approved for access 
in accordance with VA regulations. The site security officer is 
responsible for ensuring that the hardware, software, and security 
practices of a representative or attorney satisfy VA security 
requirements before granting access. The security requirements 
applicable to the access of automated claims files by VA employees also 
apply to the access of automated claims files by claimants' 
representatives or attorneys. The security officer is assigned 
responsibility for privacy-security measures, especially for review of 
violation logs, information logs, and control of password distribution, 
including password distribution for claimants' representatives.
    Access to data processing centers is generally restricted to center 
employees, custodial personnel, Federal Protective Service, and other 
security personnel. Access to computer rooms is restricted to 
authorized operational personnel through electronic locking devices. 
All other persons provided access to computer rooms are escorted.

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:
    Records are maintained on magnetic tape, disks, and microfiche and 
are retained and disposed of in accordance with disposition and 
authorization approved by the National Archives and Records 
Administration. Once a file is electronically imaged and accepted by 
VA, its paper contents (with the exception of service treatment records 
and official legal documents), are destroyed in accordance with Records 
Control Schedule VB-1 Part 1 Section XIII, as authorized by the 
National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) of the United 
States.

SYSTEM MANAGER(S) AND ADDRESS:
    Director, Compensation and Pension Service (21), VA Central Office, 
810 Vermont Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20420.

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE:
    Any individual who wishes to determine whether a record is being 
maintained in this system under his or her name or other personal 
identifier, or wants to determine the contents of such record should 
submit a written request or apply in person to the nearest VA regional 
office or medical center. Addresses for these offices may be found in
