SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Introduction

    The Department is updating the section of the notice entitled 
``SYSTEM LOCATION'' by adding an alternate location, and replacing the 
locations no longer utilized. The Department is changing the section of 
the notice entitled ``SYSTEM MANAGER'' to reflect the current 
organization of Business Operations in the Federal Student Aid office. 
The Department is modifying the section of the notice entitled 
``PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM'' to remove the references about 
authenticating users to the Debt Management and Collections System 
(DMCS) and Title IV Additional Servicers (TIVAS). These systems do not 
require authorization through the SAIG, Participation Management 
System. However, the Department is adding that the SAIG, Participation 
Management System, will be used to provide users with access to the 
Enterprise Complaint System (ECS) and the system of the DHS that also 
administers or assists in administering programs authorized under title 
IV of the HEA. In this section and throughout the notice, the 
Department is removing all references regarding ``authenticating'' 
users and replacing it with the term ``authorizing.'' This is a more 
accurate representation of the Department's practices in the SAIG, 
Participation Management System.
    The Department is modifying the section of the notice entitled 
``CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM'' to replace as 
covered individuals those who are eligible to participate in the 
Department's programs with those who are authorized to access the 
Department's Federal Student Aid systems and the DHS system for the 
purposes of administering or assisting in administering programs 
authorized under title IV of the HEA. This modification is a 
clarification to the public and does not change the scope of the 
system. The Department is also modifying this section to update the 
entities whose employees may be authorized to access the SAIG, 
Participation Management System, such as by deleting the reference to 
authorized employees or representatives of State scholarship programs 
and inserting in its place, research and scholarship organizations. The 
Department is also clarifying in this section that the authorized 
employees or representatives of lenders and guaranty agencies covered 
by the system are limited to lenders and guaranty agencies 
participating in the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP).
    The Department is updating the section of the notice entitled 
``CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM'' to specify that records are 
those of authorized individuals with access to not just the 
Department's student financial aid systems but also the DHS system that 
administer or assist in administering programs authorized under title 
IV of the HEA.
    The Department is modifying the section of the notice entitled 
``RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES'' to update authorized entities as follows: 
Postsecondary educational institutions, institutional third-party 
servicers, FFELP lenders, FFELP guaranty agencies, Federal loan 
servicers, DHS, State grant agencies, research and scholarship 
organizations, and from other individuals or entities from which data 
is obtained under the routine uses set forth below.
    The Department is updating routine use (1) entitled ``Program 
Disclosures'' to remove the listed Department systems DMCS and TIVAS, 
which were previously listed in paragraphs (f) and (g), and to add, in 
paragraph (f), ECS as a Department system to which authorized users 
will have access. The Department is adding to this routine use in 
paragraph (h) that authorized users also will have access to the DHS 
system that administers or assists in the administration of programs 
authorized under title IV of the HEA. These modifications to routine 
use (1) will permit the Department to share authorized users' 
information with DHS to allow these authorized users access to systems 
belonging to the Department's Federal Student Aid office and DHS for 
the purposes of administering or assisting in administering programs 
authorized under title IV of the HEA. The Department will only disclose 
these records to DHS after the Department has approved in writing a 
request from DHS to access these records.
    The Department is modifying routine use (4) entitled ``Contract 
Disclosure'' and routine use (6) entitled ``Research Disclosure'' to 
remove language that respectively referenced safeguard requirements 
under subsection (m) of the Privacy Act and Privacy Act safeguards. The 
Department revised the language in routine use (4) to permit the 
Department to disclose records from this system of records to employees 
of Departmental contractors, whether or not they are covered by 
subsection (m) of the Privacy Act, so long as they are performing a 
Departmental function that requires disclosing records to them and they 
agree to safeguards that will protect the security and confidentiality 
of the records in the system. The Department also revised the language 
in routine uses (4) and (6) because the prior language referring to 
required safeguards under the Privacy Act and Privacy Act safeguards 
was unclear about what safeguards were required and therefore to 
clarify that contractors and researchers to whom disclosures are made 
under these routine uses will be required to agree to safeguards to 
protect the security and confidentiality of the records in the system.
    The Department is modifying routine use (10) entitled ``Employee 
Grievance, Complaint, or Conduct Disclosure'' to clarify and promote 
the standardization of the language used in this routine use with that 
used in the Department's other systems of records notices.
    Pursuant to the requirements in Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) M-17-12, the Department is modifying routine use (12) entitled 
``Disclosure in the Course of Responding to a Breach of Data.''
    The Department is also adding routine use (13) entitled 
``Disclosure in Assisting another Agency in Responding to a Breach of 
Data'' in order to comply with the requirements in OMB M-17-12. The 
Department may disclose records from this system to another Federal 
agency or Federal entity, when the Department determines that 
information from this system of records is reasonably necessary to 
assist the recipient agency or entity in (a) responding to a suspected 
or confirmed breach or (b) preventing, minimizing, or remedying the 
risk of harm to individuals, the recipient agency or entity (including 
its information systems, programs, and operations), the Federal 
Government, or national security, resulting from a suspected or 
confirmed breach.
    The Department is updating the sections of the notice entitled 
``POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF RECORDS'' and ``ADMINISTRATIVE, 
TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL SAFEGUARDS'' to reflect the current location of 
the records at General Dynamics One Source (GDOS). The Department is 
also updating the section entitled ``POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR 
RETENTION AND DISPOSAL OF RECORDS'' to reflect the updated General 
Records Schedule, issued by the National Archives and Records 
Administration, which governs the retention and disposition of the 
records. Finally, the Department is modifying the sections entitled 
``RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES'' and ``NOTIFICATION

[[Page 8857]]

PROCEDURES'' to specify the necessary particulars that an individual 
must provide when making a request for access to or notification of a 
record.

remedying the risk of harm to individuals, the recipient agency or 
entity (including its information systems, programs, and operations), 
the Federal Government, or national security, resulting from a 
suspected or confirmed breach.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF RECORDS:
    Records are maintained in both electronic and hard copy form. 
Records maintained in electronic form, including hard copy records 
loaded into an imaging system accessible through internal systems only, 
are stored in IBM Content Manager. For the first 12 months after 
receiving a hard copy record, the record is stored in a locked file 
cabinet at the GDOS storage facility in Coralville, Iowa. After the 
initial 12-month period, the hard copy record is stored at the Iron 
Mountain storage facility. After three years from the termination or 
closure of an enrollment account of a user of the SAIG, Participation 
Management System, all records (electronic and hard copy) are 
transferred to NARA-operated Federal Records Centers for further 
storage in accordance with the applicable retention and disposition 
schedule.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF RECORDS:
    All users of the SAIG, Participation Management System, 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.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND DISPOSAL OF RECORDS:
    These records are covered by General Records Schedule 3.2: 
Information Systems Security Records, Item 031 (DAA-GRS-2013-0006-
0004). Records are destroyed six years after the user account is 
terminated or the password is altered.

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL 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 GDOS 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 with firewalls, 
encryption, and password protection. 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.

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES:
    If you wish to gain access to a record in this system, you must 
contact the system manager at the address listed above. You must 
provide necessary particulars such as your name, user ID, date of 
birth, and any other identifying information requested by the 
Department while processing the request to distinguish between 
individuals with the same name. Your request must meet the requirements 
of the Department's Privacy Act regulations at 34 CFR 5b.5, including 
proof of identity.

CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES:
    If you wish to contest or change the content of a record about you 
in the system of records, you must contact the system manager with the 
information described in the record access procedures. Requests to 
amend a record must meet the requirements of the Department's Privacy 
Act regulations at 34 CFR 5b.7.

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES:
    If you wish to determine whether a record exists about you in the 
system of records, you must contact the system manager at the address 
listed above. You must provide necessary particulars such as your name,

    None.

HISTORY:
    The system of records was published in the Federal Register on 
December 27, 1999 (64 FR 72384, 72397) and entitled ``Title IV Wide 
Area Network'' (Title IV WAN). This system of records was altered and
