I. The information collection below is

Notice to Electronic Information
Exchange Partners To Provide
Contractor List—0960–NEW. The
Federal standards Privacy Act of 1974;
E-Government Act of 2002; and the
National Institute of Standard Special
Publications 800–53–4, require SSA to
maintain oversight of the information it
provides to Electronic Information
Exchange Partners (EIEPs). EIEPs obtain
SSA data for the administration of
federally funded and state-administered
17155
programs. SSA has a responsibility to
monitor and protect the personally
identifiable information SSA shares
with other Federal and State agencies,
and private organizations through the
Computer Matching and Privacy
Protection Act, and the Information
Exchange Agreements (IEA). Under the
terms of the State Transmission
Component IEA, and agency IEA, EIEPs
agree to comply with Electronic
Information Exchange security
requirements and procedures for State
and local Agencies exchanging
electronic information with SSA. SSA’s
Technical Systems Security
Requirements document provides all
agencies using SSA data ensure SSA
information is not processed;
maintained; transmitted; or stored in
electronic devices; computers; or
computer networks located in
geographic or virtual areas not subject to
U.S. law, or stored by means of a data
communications channel. SSA conducts
tri-annual compliance reviews of all
State and local agencies, and Tribes
with whom we have an IEA, to verify
appropriate security safeguards remain
in place to protect the confidentiality of
information SSA supplies. SSA requires
any organization with an electronic data
exchange agreement, to provide the SSA
Regional Office contact a current list of
contractors, or agents, who have access
to SSA data upon request. SSA uses
Form SSA–731, Notice to Electronic
Information Exchange Partners to
Provide Contractor List to collect this.
The respondents are Federal agencies,
and state, local, or tribal agencies, who
exchange electronic information with
SSA.
Type of Request: Request for a new
information collection.
