POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING,
RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND
DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
confidentiality of data. The contractor
and subcontractor are required to ensure
that information identifying individuals
is in files physically separated from
other research data. The contractor and
subcontractor will maintain security of
the complete set of all master data files
and documentation. Access to
individually identifying data will be
strictly controlled. All data will be kept
in locked file cabinets during
nonworking hours, and work on
hardcopy data will take place in a single
room, except for data entry. Physical
security of electronic data will also be
maintained. Security features that
protect project data include: Passwordprotected accounts that authorize users
to use the contractor’s and
subcontractor’s systems but to access
only specific network directories and
network software; user rights and
directory and file attributes that limit
those who can use particular directories
and files and determine how they can
use them; and additional security
features that the network administrators
will establish for projects as needed.
The contractor’s and subcontractor’s
employees who ‘‘maintain’’ (collect,
maintain, use, or disseminate) data in
this system shall comply with the
requirements of the confidentiality
standards in section 183 of the ESRA
(20 U.S.C. 9573).
STORAGE:
RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:
The Department maintains records on
CD–ROM, and the contractor
(Mathematica Policy Research, Inc.) and
sub-contractor (Decision Information
Resources, Inc.) maintain data for this
system on computers and in hard copy.
Records are maintained and disposed
of in accordance with the Department’s
Records Disposition Schedules (ED/
RDS, Part 3, Item 2b and Part 3, Item
5a).
RETRIEVABILITY:

consent of the individual if the
disclosure is compatible with the
purposes for which the record was
collected. These disclosures may be
made on a case-by-case basis or, if the
Department has complied with the
computer matching requirements of the
Privacy Act, under a computer matching
agreement. Any disclosure of
individually identifying information
from a record in this system must also
comply with the requirements of section
183 of the ESRA (20 U.S.C. 9573)
providing for confidentiality standards
that apply to all collections, reporting,
and publication of data by IES.
Contract Disclosure. If the Department
contracts with an entity for the purposes
of performing any function that requires
disclosure of records in this system to
employees of the contractor, the
Department may disclose the records to
those employees. Before entering into
such a contract, the Department shall
require the contractor to maintain
Privacy Act safeguards as required
under 5 U.S.C. 552a(m) with respect to
the records in the system.
DISCLOSURE TO CONSUMER REPORTING
AGENCIES:
Not applicable to this system notice.
Records in this system are indexed
and retrieved by a number assigned to
each individual that is cross-referenced
by the individual’s name on a separate
list.

SAFEGUARDS:
All physical access to the
Department’s site and to the sites of the
Department’s contractor and
subcontractor, where this system of
records is maintained, is controlled and
monitored by security personnel. 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. The contractor and
subcontractor will establish a similar set
of procedures at their sites to ensure

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
information collected under the
requirements of FERC–603 ‘‘Critical
Energy Infrastructure Information’’
(OMB No. 1902–0197) is used by the
Commission to implement procedures
for gaining access to critical energy
infrastructure information (CEII) that
would not otherwise be available under
the Freedom of Information Act (5 USC
552). On February, 21, 2003, the
Commission issued Order No. 630 (66
FR 52917) to address the appropriate
treatment of CEII in the aftermath of the
September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and
to restrict unrestrained general access
due to the ongoing terrorism threat.
These steps enable the Commission to
keep sensitive infrastructure
information out of the public domain,
decreasing the likelihood that such
information could be used to plan or
execute terrorist attacks. The process
adopted in Order No. 630 is a more
efficient alternative for handling
requests for previously public
documents than FOIA The Commission
has defined CEII to include information
about ‘‘existing or proposed critical
infrastructure that (i) relates to the
production, generation, transportation,
transmission, or distribution of energy;
(ii) could be useful to a person planning
an attack on critical infrastructure; (iii)
is exempt from mandatory disclosure
under the Freedom of Information Act,
and (iv) does not simply give the
location of the critical infrastructure.
Critical infrastructure means existing
and proposed systems and assets,
whether physical or virtual, the
incapacity or destruction of which
would negatively affect security,
economic security, public health or
safety, or any combination of those
matters. A person seeking access to CEII
may file a request for that information
by providing information about their
identity and reason as to the need for
the information. Through this process,
the Commission is able to review the
requester’s need for the information
against the sensitivity of the
information. The compliance with these
requirements is mandatory.
Action: The Commission is requesting
a three-year extension of the current
expiration date, with changes to the
existing collection of data.
Burden Statement: Public reporting
burden for this collection is estimated
as:

1 The number of respondents corresponds to the number of requests received annually while recognizing that some CEII requests are filed by
multiple parties.
The estimated total cost to
respondents is $4,080. The cost per
respondent = $20.40. (60 hours @ $68
hourly rate (rounded off)).
The reporting burden includes the
total time, effort, or financial resources
expended to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose, or provide the information
including: (1) Reviewing instructions;
(2) developing, acquiring, installing, and
utilizing technology and systems for the
purposes of collecting, validating,
verifying, processing, maintaining,
disclosing and providing information;
(3) adjusting the existing ways to
comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements; (4)
training personnel to respond to a
collection of information; (5) searching
data sources; (6) completing and
reviewing the collection of information;
and (7) transmitting or otherwise
disclosing the information.
The estimate of cost for respondents
is based upon salaries for professional
and clerical support, as well as direct
and indirect overhead costs. Direct costs
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 223001
include all costs directly attributable to
providing this information, such as
administrative costs and the cost for
information technology. Indirect or
overhead costs are costs incurred by an
organization in support of its mission.
These costs apply to activities which
benefit the whole organization rather
than any one particular function or
activity.
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the Commission,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of
the agency’s estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
