ACTION: Notice of Federal agency with adequate safeguards. AGENCY: As further discussed below, the Department of Labor (Department) SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:52 Feb 06, 2023 Jkt 259001 and United States Postal Service (USPS), working with states, plan to provide an in-person option for conducting the identity verification states perform in administering Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits (the ‘‘Project’’). In this notice, the Department recognizes that for purposes of conducting in-person identity verification in connection with UI benefits, pursuant to a signed Interagency Agreement (‘‘IAA’’) with the Department, the USPS has in place safeguards adequate to satisfy the requirements of section 303(a)(1), SSA. As a result, including the safeguards and security requirements, do not apply to disclosures of confidential unemployment compensation (UC) information by state UC agencies to the Department, for redisclosure to USPS, for the limited purposes set forth herein. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim Garner, Administrator, Office of Unemployment Insurance, Employment and Training Administration, (202) 693– 3029 (this is not a toll-free number) or 1–877–889–5627 (TTY), or by email at garner.jimmie@dol.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Employment and Training Administration (ETA) interprets Federal law requirements pertaining to the Federal-State UC program. ETA interprets section 303(a)(1) of the Social Security Act to require states to maintain the confidentiality of certain UC information. The regulations at 20 CFR part 603 implement this confidentiality requirement. 20 CFR 603.9 requires States and State UC agencies to ensure that recipients of confidential UC information have certain safeguards in place before any confidential UC information may be disclosed. Section 603.9(d) provides that States are not required to apply the requirements of § 603.9, including these safeguards and security requirements, to a Federal agency which the Department has determined, by notice published in the Federal Register, to have in place safeguards adequate to satisfy the confidentiality requirement of section 303(a)(1), SSA. The authority for USPS to enter into an agreement with the Department is 39 U.S.C. 411 and 39 CFR 259.1, which permit USPS to furnish nonpersonal services to Executive agencies within the meaning of 5 U.S.C. 105. The Department is authorized, under section 2118 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act (15 U.S.C. 9034), to fund and administer projects that detect and prevent fraud, promote equitable access, and ensure the timely payment of benefits with PO 00000 Frm 00059 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 respect to UC programs. Under these authorities, ETA plans to implement the Project as a pilot that will be tested in several states. Based on the pilot’s results, the in-person identity verification may be expanded to other states. USPS and the Department will implement the Project, in accordance with the terms of the IAA, to offer claimants filing an unemployment claim in a participating state the option to verify their identity in-person at specified USPS locations, which requires the sharing of confidential UC information among the participating state UC agencies, the Department, and USPS. During the pilot, the initial disclosure of confidential UC information will be from the state UC agency to the Department, as permitted by the public official exception at 20 CFR 603.5(e). The Department will then redisclose the information to USPS. Prior to any disclosures taking place for the Project, a signed IAA will be in place between the Department and USPS, and an agreement meeting the requirements of 20 CFR 603.10 will be in place between the Department and each participating state UC agency. The Department has determined that for the limited purposes of the Project, the methods and procedures employed by USPS for the protection of confidential UC information received from the Department, or states participating in the Project who have disclosed confidential UC information to the Department, meet the requirements of section 303(a)(1), SSA. USPS operates information technology and database systems (collectively, the IT systems) that USPS regularly reviews for compliance and security through the USPS Accreditation & Authorization (A&A) process. The USPS A&A process aligns with the requirements contained in the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 (FISMA), as amended by the Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014. In addition, the USPS A&A process aligns with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 27001:2013 and 27002:2013 and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Risk Management Framework (RMF) guidance, including NIST SP 800–37, Risk Management Framework for Information Systems and Organizations, which provides detailed guidance for the IT systems authorization process. USPS data security controls are a combination of USPS specific controls, ISO 27001, and NIST SP 800–53 Security and Privacy Controls for Information Systems and Organizations controls.
