SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Privacy Act requires agencies to publish in the Federal Register (FR) a notice of any new or revised system of records. A ‘‘system of records’’ is a group of any records under the control of an agency from which information is retrievable by the name of the individual or by some unique identifier assigned to the individual. USDA is proposing to establish a new system of records, entitled USDA/FSIS–04, Public Health Information System (PHIS). The primary purpose of PHIS is to collect information gathered by USDA Personnel from their inspection, compliance verification and notification activities at regulated establishments, and to assess data entered by Business Personnel. PHIS enhances USDA’s ability to predict hazards and vulnerabilities in the food supply and thus prevent or mitigate food safetyrelated threats to the public health in a timely manner. Additionally, in regard to imports and exports, PHIS provides USDA and other domestic and foreign regulatory authorities with information to monitor the movement of meat, poultry and egg products in advance of a shipment’s arrival. USDA grants PHIS access to and collect information from the following user groups: (1) Employees and contractors of USDA (‘‘USDA Personnel’’); (2) government officials PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 11489 (domestic and foreign) (‘‘Other Government Officials’’); and (3) representatives of the regulated establishments and businesses, such as importers and exporters of food products, who require access to PHIS (‘‘Business Personnel’’). PHIS collects from all three user groups basic identifying contact information. The system also collects identifying information about individuals who are not PHIS users, but whose names may appear in records entered by a user, for contact purposes. PHIS obtains and stores the identifying information for USDA Personnel, including: the user’s and supervisor’s full names, titles, duty stations, business contact information, assigned PHIS role(s), and USDA eAuthentication numbers. This information is used for contacting personnel, shipping documents and supplies, inspection assignment scheduling and for security and access control purposes. In addition to this basic identifying contact information, the system receives employee profile information for USDA Personnel from the National Finance Center, including, but not limited to: Social security numbers (stored in masked formats); hire dates; organizational level; pay plan; and locality and pay code. This employee profile data are used to verify USDA Personnel employment status. For Other Government Officials and Business Personnel, the system collects information including the name and title of the user, business contact information, and PHIS roles and USDA eAuthentication information. From Business Personnel, it collects the user’s entity name and associated business or tax identification numbers, as applicable. Only basic contact information is collected about individuals who are not PHIS users, but whose names appear in records entered by a user. USDA Personnel enter records in connection with their inspection, compliance verification, and notification activities at regulated establishments. The records entered by Other Government Officials include documents concerning the equivalence of foreign inspection systems, documents concerning State program inspection verification and activities, responses to USDA decisions, and requests for information from USDA. Business Personnel enter records in connection with, or in response to, USDA Personnel’s activities and decisions, and requests for services from USDA. Examples include records supporting compliance with FSIS regulations, such as applications for E:\FR\FM\15MRN1.SGM 15MRN1
