enable mediators and managers to
manage cases, manage reporting
requirements, provide data for research
and training, store recorded trainings
and meetings, and collect information
on Agency operations. The Agency’s
internal drives, SharePoint, Outlook,
Cloud-based services such as Zoom.gov
and Microsoft Teams, and a case records
management system are used to store
electronic case tracking information,
electronic case files (including
mediation agreements), and recorded
meetings and trainings, permitting the
accurate and timely collection, retrieval,
and retention of information maintained
by offices of the Agency. Inter-Agency
Agreements (IAA), agreements for
reimbursable services, and requests for
mediation and training are also stored in
these locations. IAAs and agreements
for reimbursable services allow FMCS to
provide requested services, such as
training and labor dispute resolution, to
other federal agencies. The notice
amendment includes administrative
updates to refine details published
under summary, supplementary
information, record source categories,
routine uses, and the history section.
These sections are amended to refine
previously published information about
the system of records. The dates,

classification, system location, system
manager, authority for maintenance of
the system, purpose of the system,
categories of individuals covered by the
system, categories of records in the
system, policies and practices for

ACTION: Request for information.
AGENCY:
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National
Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH), in the Department of
Health and Human Services, announces
an opportunity for the public to provide
information about approaches to
establishing a new World Trade Center
(WTC) Health Program research cohort
of persons who were exposed to the
September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks
and were aged 21 years or younger at
the time of their exposure. This research
cohort will be designed to allow the
WTC Health Program to conduct future
research studies on the health and
educational impacts in the population
of persons aged 21 years or younger at
the time of their exposures to airborne
toxins, or any other hazard or adverse
condition, resulting from the terrorist
attacks on September 11, 2001. Once
established, this new WTC Health
Program ‘‘youth cohort’’ would serve as
the basis for future WTC Health Program
research into the health and educational
impacts of this potentially vulnerable
group, hereafter referred to as ‘‘WTC
Youth.’’ Information is requested on
specific adverse health, social, and
educational effects that are of interest
for future research; desired
characteristics of the proposed cohort
and associated control groups (e.g., size
and demographics), and methods for
identifying, recruiting, and obtaining
informed consent from members; as
well as data collection, storage, and
management methods necessary for
future research investigations.

section 3341 of the PHS Act to direct the
Administrator, in consultation with the
Secretary of Education, to establish a
new research cohort. The cohort must
be of sufficient size to conduct future
research studies on the health and
educational impacts of ‘‘exposure to
airborne toxins, or any other hazard or
adverse condition, resulting from the

FEDERAL MEDIATION AND CONCILIATION SERVICE
Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records
AGENCY: Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service.
ACTION: Notice of a modified system of records.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: To fulfill its conflict resolution and training mission,
Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) uses Microsoft
SharePoint, Microsoft Outlook, and a case records management system new
to FMCS to
[[Page 25404]]
enable mediators and managers to manage cases, manage reporting
requirements, provide data for research and training, store recorded
trainings and meetings, and collect information on Agency operations.
The Agency's internal drives, SharePoint, Outlook, Cloud-based services
such as Zoom.gov and Microsoft Teams, and a case records management
system are used to store electronic case tracking information,
electronic case files (including mediation agreements), and recorded
meetings and trainings, permitting the accurate and timely collection,
retrieval, and retention of information maintained by offices of the
Agency. Inter-Agency Agreements (IAA), agreements for reimbursable
services, and requests for mediation and training are also stored in
these locations. IAAs and agreements for reimbursable services allow
FMCS to provide requested services, such as training and labor dispute
resolution, to other federal agencies. The notice amendment includes
administrative updates to refine details published under summary,
supplementary information, record source categories, routine uses, and
the history section. These sections are amended to refine previously
published information about the system of records. The dates,
addresses, for further information contact, system name, security
classification, system location, system manager, authority for
maintenance of the system, purpose of the system, categories of
individuals covered by the system, categories of records in the system,
policies and practices for storage of records, policies and practices
for retrieval of records, policies and procedures for retention and
disposal of records, administrative safeguards, record access
procedures, contesting records procedures, notification procedures, and
exemptions promulgated remain unchanged. This amended SORN deletes and
supersedes the SORN published in the Federal Register on March 16,
2022.
DATES: This system of records will be effective without further notice
on May 26, 2023 unless otherwise revised pursuant to comments received.
Comments must be received on or before May 26, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The notice amendment includes administrative
updates to refine details published under summary, supplementary
information, record source categories, routine uses, and the history
section. These sections are amended to refine previously published
information about the system of records. The dates, addresses, for
further information contact, system name, security classification,
system location, system manager, authority for maintenance of the
system, purpose of the system, categories of individuals covered by the
system, categories of records in the system, policies and practices for
storage of records, policies and practices for retrieval of records,
