CCMS II data and investigations also support other activities, including complaintrelated verification of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points in producing establishments, analysis of school lunch product manufacturing specifications, and recall coordination for product(s) identified as adulterated or unwholesome. Safeguards/Security Provided for This System FSIS has taken significant actions to safeguard the identifiable information about an individual in CCMS II and to control access to the system itself. Access to CCMS II is restricted to trained, authorized FSIS employees and to a limited number of users representing FSIS’ public health partners in the Department of Health and Human Services. Authorized users are assigned levelof-access roles based on their job functions. The level of access for the user restricts the data that may be seen and the degree to which data may be modified by the user. Firewalls and other security controls further prevent unauthorized access. As a result, the potential effect of CCMS II on an individual’s privacy is minimal. In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 552a(b) of the Privacy Act, records maintained in the system may be disclosed outside USDA for eight routine uses. These routine uses may be described as functional and housekeeping uses. The records are protected by the confidentiality requirements of USDA’s Office of the Chief Information Officer Cyber Security Manuals and the provisions of the Privacy Act. Only authorized USDA employees and contractors will have access to the records in this system, and this access will be on a need-to-know basis. Role-based access controls are used to restrict access to CCMS II, which is accessible via the FSIS Intranet. The system has been categorized as a Moderate impact system as identified in Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 199. The security controls implemented within the system will correspond with those published in the National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication 800–53, Recommended Security Controls for Federal Information Technology Systems (Revision1) for a Moderate impact system. Users are granted system access only upon successful completion of security training and must successfully complete security training each year to retain access. Each user is supplied with a unique and strong user-id and password. The user roles are restrictive and based on the principle of least privilege allowing for adequate performance of job functions and access to information based on a need to know. Where appropriate, the system also will adhere to the security controls identified in VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:18 Sep 04, 2015 Jkt 235001 the Federal Information Security Control Audit Manual (FISCAM). The mandatory requirements of FIPS 199 and FIPS 200 support the Federal Information Security Management Act and FISCAM supports the mandated Office of Management and Budget Circular A–123, Management of Internal Controls. Moreover, system managers and users observe and adhere to specific USDA security requirements as set forth in the USDA Cyber Security Manuals, including but not limited to USDA Departmental Manual (DM) 3545– 000, Personnel Security, and DM 3510–001, Physical Security Standards for Information Technology Restricted Space.
