CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM:
    This system maintains information on present and former employees 
of, and applicants for employment with, NASA Exchanges, recreational 
associations, and employees' clubs at NASA Centers; and civil servants 
and contractors, and their dependents, who are members of or 
participants in NASA Exchange programs, activities, clubs and/or 
recreational associations. Finally, the system maintains information on 
children, and their parents or guardians, who participate in Exchange-
operated child care and educational development programs.

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
    For present and former employees of NASA Exchange entities 
including child care and educational development center programs, 
records in the system relate to personnel actions and determinations 
during their application to and employment by the NASA Exchange. 
Records contain information about individuals and their employment such 
as name, birth date, Social Security Number, home contact information, 
marital status, references, veteran preference, tenure, disabilities, 
position description, unemployment claims; salary, leave and payroll 
deduction information; and job performance and personnel actions.
    For civil servants, contractors, and others who apply for and 
participate in Exchange-sponsored programs, activities, clubs and/or 
recreational associations, records include employee or contractor 
identification number, organization, location, telephone number, and 
other information directly related to status or interest in 
participation in such activities.
    For civil servant or contractor dependents who apply for Exchange 
scholarships, records in the system include information such as 
parents' home and work address and telephone numbers, income, and 
financial assistance they will provide the student; the student's high 
school and colleges applied to, high school graduation date, class 
ranking, and transcripts; and student community activities and personal 
goals.
    For current or former participants in Exchange-operated child care 
and development centers, records in the system include identification 
and other information facilitating enrollment in the entity and proper 
care of the children. Specific records include information such as home 
and work addresses, email addresses, and telephone numbers; financial 
payment information; emergency contact names, addresses and telephone 
numbers; children's names and pictures as well as their health care and 
insurance providers; medical histories; physical, emotional, or other 
special care requirements; and child care and educational development 
center correspondence with parents/guardians such as authorizations to 
release the child to another person or field trip permission slips.

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:
    51 U.S.C. 20113(a) and (c)(5); 44 U.S.C. 3101; and 40 U.S.C. 590.

PURPOSE(S):
    Records in this system are used to facilitate individuals' 
participation in and use of NASA Exchange programs and fitness and 
childcare facilities; for application evaluation and award of Exchange 
higher education scholarships; and to execute personnel actions and 
determinations for applicants to, and employees of, the Exchange 
entities at NASA Centers.

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES 
OF USERS AND THE PURPOSE OF SUCH USES:
    Any disclosures of information will be compatible with the purpose 
for which the Agency collected the information. The following are 
routine uses: (1) To provide information to insurance carriers with 
regard to worker's compensation, health and accident, and retirement 
insurance coverages; (2) to provide employment or credit information to 
third parties as requested by a current or former Exchange employee to 
whom the records pertain; (3) to provide various Federal, State, and

    Records in this system are maintained on electronic media and/or as 
hard-copy documents.

For children or parents/guardians associated with child care 
facilities, records may be retrieved by either the child's or parent's/

SAFEGUARDS:
    Electronic records are maintained on secure NASA servers and 
protected in accordance with all Federal standards and those 
established in NASA regulations at 14 CFR 1212.605. Additionally, 
server and data management environments employ infrastructure 
encryption technologies both in data transmission and at rest on 
servers. Approved security plans are in place for information systems 
containing the records in accordance with the Federal Information 
Security Management Act of 2002 (FISMA) and OMB Circular A-130, 
Management of Federal Information Resources. Only authorized personnel 
requiring information in the official discharge of their duties are 
authorized access to records through approved access or authentication 
methods. Access to electronic records is achieved only from 
workstations within the NASA Intranet or via a secure Virtual Private 
Network (VPN) connection that requires two-factor hardware token 
authentication or via employee PIV badge authentication from NASA-
issued computers. Non-electronic records are secured in locked rooms or 
files.
