facilitate the initiation, investigation
and adjudication of information relevant
to DoD security clearances and
employment suitability determinations
for active duty military, civilian
employees, and contractors requiring
such credentials. Facility Security
Officers (FSOs) working in private
companies that contract with DoD and
who need access to the DISS system to
update security-related information
about their company’s employees must
complete DD Form 2962 (cleared under
a separate OMB Control Number).
Specific uses include: Facilitation for
DoD Adjudicators and Security
Managers to obtain accurate up-to-date

DoD. The DoD Adjudicators and
Security Managers are also able to
update eligibility and access levels of
military, civilian and contractor
personnel nominated for access to
sensitive DoD information. Once
granted access, the FSOs maintain
employee personal information, submit
requests for investigations, and submit
other relevant personnel security
information into DISS on over 1,000,000
contract employees annually.

Introduction:
The Department last published the
Complaint Files and Log (18–08–01)
system of records in the Federal

records notice is also being modified to
reflect the current categories of sources
of the records and the retrievability of
the records by any data element. The
system of records notice is also being
modified to include updated

The Department proposes to update,
but not to significantly change, routine
uses (4) ‘‘Litigation and Alternative

proposes to add to this system of
records notice new routine uses (9)
entitled ‘‘Disclosure in the Course of
Responding to a Breach of Data’’ and
(10) entitled ‘‘Disclosure in Assisting
another Agency in Responding to a
Breach of Data.’’ These will allow the
Department to disclose records in this
system in order to assist the Office for
Civil Rights, the Department, or another
PO 00000

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Introduction:
The Department last published the Complaint Files and Log (18-08-
01) system of records in the Federal Register on March 15, 2004 (69 FR
12248). The system of records notice is being modified to update the
current system locations both in Washington DC and satellite offices.
This system of records notice is also being modified to reflect the
current categories of sources of the records and the retrievability of
the records by any data element. The system of records notice is also
being modified to include updated information on the record retention
and disposal policies for the records contained in this system.
The Department proposes to update, but not to significantly change,
routine uses (4) ``Litigation and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
Disclosures,'' (5) ``Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) or Privacy Act
Advice Disclosure,'' and (6) ``Research Disclosure.'' The Department
proposes to significantly modify routine use (8) ``Contract
Disclosure.'' The Department also proposes to add to this system of
records notice new routine uses (9) entitled ``Disclosure in the Course
of Responding to a Breach of Data'' and (10) entitled ``Disclosure in
Assisting another Agency in Responding to a Breach of Data.'' These
will allow the Department to disclose records in this system in order
to assist the Office for Civil Rights, the Department, or another
Federal agency or entity in responding to a suspected or confirmed
breach of data.
The Department also proposes to update the section entitled
``Policies and Practices for Retention and Disposal of Records'' to
reflect the current Department records schedule, approved by the
National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), which governs the
retention and disposition of the records.
Accessible Format: Individuals with disabilities can obtain this
document in an accessible format (e.g., braille, large print,
audiotape, or compact disc) on request to the person listed under FOR

OF USERS AND PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:
The Department may disclose information contained in a record in
this system of records under the routine uses listed in this system of
records without the consent of the individual if the disclosure is
compatible with the purposes for which the record was collected. These

other information, a violation or potential violation of any applicable
statute, regulations, or order of a competent authority, the Department

this routine use under the conditions specified in those paragraphs:
(i) The Department of Education, or any component of the

disclosure of certain records to the DOJ is relevant and necessary to
litigation or ADR, the Department may disclose those records as a
routine use to the DOJ.
(c) Adjudicative Disclosures. If the Department or one of its
components determines that disclosure of certain records to an
adjudicative body before which the Department or one of its components
is authorized to appear or to a person or entity designated by the
Department or otherwise empowered to resolve or mediate disputes is
relevant and necessary to the litigation or ADR, the Department may
disclose those records as a routine use to the adjudicative body,
person, or entity.
(d) Parties, Counsels, Representatives, and Witnesses. If the
Department or one of its components determines that disclosure of
certain records to a party, counsel, representative, or witness is
relevant and necessary to the litigation or ADR, the Department or its
component may disclose those records as a routine use to the party,
counsel, representative, or witness.
(5) Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) or Privacy Act Advice
Disclosure. The Department may disclose records to the DOJ or the

disclosure is desirable or necessary in determining whether particular
records are required
[[Page 12574]]
to be disclosed under the FOIA or the Privacy Act.
(6) Research Disclosure. The Department may disclose records to a
researcher if an appropriate official of the Department determines that
the individual or organization to which the disclosure would be made is
qualified to carry out specific research related to functions or
purposes of this system of records. The official may disclose records
from this system of records to that researcher solely for the purpose
of carrying out that research related to the functions or purposes of
this system of records. The researcher must agree to maintain
safeguards to protect the security and confidentiality with respect to
the disclosed records.
(7) Congressional Member Disclosure. The Department may disclose
information to a Member of Congress from the record of an individual in
response to an inquiry from the Member made at the written request of
that individual. The Member's right to the information is no greater
than the right of the individual who requested it.
(8) 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. As part of such a
contract, the Department shall require the contractor to agree to
maintain safeguards to protect the security and confidentiality of the
records in the system.
(9) Disclosure in the Course of Responding to a Breach of Data. The
Department may disclose records from this system to appropriate
agencies, entities, and persons when (1) the Department suspects or has
confirmed that there has been a breach of the system of records; (2)
the Department has determined that as a result of the suspected or
confirmed breach there is a risk of harm to individuals, the Department
(including its information systems, programs, and operations), the
Federal Government, or national security; and (3) the disclosure made
to such agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to
assist in connection with the Department's efforts to respond to the
suspected or confirmed beach or to prevent, minimize, or remedy such
harm.
(10) Disclosure in Assisting Another Agency in Responding to a
Breach of Data. 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 (1) responding to a
suspected or confirmed breach or (2) 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.

destroyed/deleted by the Department. With respect to these files, the
Department shall transfer non-electronic records to the National
Archives and Records Administration (NARA) 10 years after cutoff and
electronic records to NARA every 5 years, with any related
documentation and external finding aids, as specified in 36 CFR 1228.70
or standards applicable at the time. Cut off for these files occurs at
the end of the fiscal year in which the case is closed and monitoring
is complete.
ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL SAFEGUARDS:
The system is maintained on secure computer servers located in one
or more secure Department of Education network server facilities. OCR
staff access information in the system through use of personal
computers located in OCR offices. Data are transmitted among offices on
secure servers through the Department of Education's Secure Wide Area
Network. The Department of Education maintains the servers on which the
records are stored in secure locations with controlled access. Access
to OCR offices is controlled and available only to OCR staff and
authorized visitors. Authorized OCR staff access the information system
using individual user identifiers and passwords. The system also limits
data access by type of user and controls users' ability to alter
records within the system. File folders containing non-digital
information in the system are kept in locked storage rooms. Access to
offices in which storage rooms are located is restricted to OCR staff
and authorized visitors.
RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES:
This system is exempted from 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4)(H) pursuant to 34
CFR 5b.11(c)(2)(iii).
