need to access the data therein. DMAP users maintain control over the 
workspaces created for them and may use the system to develop analytic 
products as needed to support mission needs. DMAP is populated by data 
from other EPA systems as well as data purchased under commercial 
license. EPA intends to expand DMAP to include personally identifiable 
information already collected by the EPA from these sources.

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:

    The routine uses below are both related to and compatible with the 
original purpose for which the information was collected. The following 
general routine uses apply to this system (86 FR 62527): A, D, E, F, G, 
H, I, J, K, L, M.
    Additional routine uses that apply to this system are:
    1. Records may be disclosed to federal, state, local, and tribal

Amazon Web Services East (Northern Virginia), and are managed by Office 
of Mission Support, Office of Information Management, Information 
Access and Analysis Division. Backup files will be maintained according 
to EPA backup protocols as documented in FISMA compliant DMAP system 
security plan. Digital records are maintained in a secure password 
protected environment and are encrypted. Access to digital records is 
limited to those who have a need to know. Permission level assignments 
will allow users access only to those functions for which they are 
authorized. All records are maintained in encrypted formats and in

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL SAFEGUARDS:
    Security controls used to protect personal sensitive data in DMAP 
are commensurate with those required for an information system rated 
MODERATE for confidentiality, integrity, and availability, as 
prescribed in National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 
Special Publication, 800-53, ``Security and Privacy Controls for 
Information Systems and Organizations,'' Revision 5.

allow users access only to those functions for which they are 
authorized. Audit logs are reviewed on a monthly basis to identify 
system access outside of normal business hours, anomalous user accounts 
or server names, or login failures. No external access to DMAP is
