Notice of a modified system of
records.
The information of the Bureau
of Medical Services (MED) system is
used and reviewed by medical and
administrative personnel to provide
health care to the individuals eligible to
participate in the medical program,
make clearance decisions for
individuals eligible to participate in the
health care program and for applicants
to the Department of State, and as a
reference for local medical capabilities.
The system also serves to record and
monitor the status of the professional
credentials of Department of State
Foreign Service, Civil Service and
Locally Employed Staff healthcare
providers.
DATES: In accordance with 5 U.S.C.
552a(e)(4) and (11), this modified
system of records will be effective upon
publication, except for the routine uses
(u), (v), and (w) that are subject to a 30day period during which interested
persons may submit comments to the
Department. Please submit any
comments by June 5, 2023. Unless
comments are received that would
require a revision, this system of records
will become effective on June 5, 2023.

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
SYSTEM LOCATION:
The Enterprise Server Operations
Center (ESOC WEST) in Denver,
Colorado. Some records may be stored
within a government cloud provided
system (Amazon Web Services and
Microsoft Azure Gov) and within a
FedRAMP authorized government cloud
system provided, implemented, and

lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM:
The records maintained in the
systems include Personally Identifiable
Information (PII) and Protected Health
Information (PHI) and are used to enable
MED’s practitioners to provide the best
medical care possible to a globally
dispersed patient population. Records
include patients’ medical history/
records, which are used to provide
medical care, adjudicate medical
clearances, and support medical
evacuations. Additionally, the system
describes the medical capabilities
available at each Post to support
employees under Chief of Mission
authority. Moreover, the system also
serves to provide medical clearances of
applicants to the Department of State.
The system also serves to record and
monitor the current status of the
professional credentials of Department
of State Foreign Service, Civil Service
and Locally Employed Staff healthcare
providers.
CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE
SYSTEM:
Applicants to the Department of State
and their family members, U.S.
Government employees and their family
members, Locally Employed Staff, and
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:07 May 04, 2023
any other individuals eligible to
participate in the medical program of
the U.S. Department of State as
authorized by either section 904 of the
Foreign Service Act of 1980 (22 U.S.C.
4084) or other applicable legal
authority. The Privacy Act defines an
individual at 5 U.S.C. 552a(a)(2) as a
United States citizen or lawful
permanent resident.
Jkt 259001
Categories of records include full
name; Social Security number
(Department of State Employees and
applicants only); date of birth; address;
email address; phone number; State
Global Identifier (SGID); reports of
medical examinations and related
documents, images, and other items;

summaries of hospital treatments;
personal medical histories; reports of
on-the-job injuries or illnesses; reports
on medical evacuation; and/or any other
types of individually identifiable health
information generated or used in the
course of conducting health care
operations. This system includes
records that contain protected health
information and does not include
records maintained by the Department
of State and/or other employers in their
capacity as employers.
This system also includes certain
records maintained as part of the
Department’s Employee Assistance
Program pursuant to 5 CFR part 792.
The system also includes a directory of
MED staff, and professional credentials
of MED providers. The directory may
include addresses, emails, and phone
numbers for direct-hire Foreign Service,
Civil Service, and Locally Employed
Staff medical personnel. The credentials
that are maintained include copies of
licenses and certifications (Professional,
Clinical, Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA), clinical
privileges information, and National
Provider Identifier (NPI)). For use by
MED clinical staff, the system maintains
directories and high-level assessments
of the location and quality of medical
resources offered in the areas
surrounding most Post locations. This
system also includes the medical
clearance records of applicants to the
Department of State who are in the final
stages of their application process and
may further include the medical
clearance records of their family
members.

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL
SAFEGUARDS:
All Department of State network users
are given cyber security awareness
training which covers the procedures for
handling Sensitive but Unclassified
(SBU) information, including personally
identifiable information (PII). Annual
refresher training is mandatory. In
addition, all Department OpenNet users
are required to take the Foreign Service
Institute distance learning course
instructing employees on privacy and
security requirements, including the
rules of behavior for handling PII and
the potential consequences if it is
handled improperly. Before being
granted access to Medical Records, a
user must first be granted access to the
Department of State computer systems.
Department of State employees and
contractors may remotely access this
system of records using non-Department
owned information technology. Such
access is subject to approval by the
Department’s mobile and remote access
program and is limited to information
maintained in unclassified information
systems. Remote access to the
Department’s information systems is
configured in compliance with OMB
Circular A–130 multifactor
authentication requirements and
includes a time-out function. All
Department of State employees and
contractors with authorized access to
records maintained in this system of
records have undergone a thorough
background security investigation.
Access to the Department of State, its
annexes, and Posts abroad is controlled
by security guards and admission is
limited to those individuals possessing
a valid identification card or individuals
under proper escort. Access to
computerized files is passwordprotected and under the direct
supervision of the system manager. The
system manager has the capability of
printing audit trails of access from the
computer media, thereby permitting
regular and ad hoc monitoring of
computer usage. When it is determined
that a user no longer needs access, the
user account is disabled.
The safeguards in the following
paragraphs apply only to records that
are maintained in government-certified
cloud systems. All cloud systems that
provide IT services and process
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:07 May 04, 2023
Jkt 259001
Department of State information must
be specifically authorized by the
Department of State Authorizing Official
and Senior Agency Official for Privacy.
Information that conforms with
Department-specific definitions for
Federal Information Security
Modernization Act (FISMA) low,
moderate, or high categorization are
permissible for cloud usage and must
specifically be authorized by the
Department’s Cloud Program
Management Office and the Department
of State Authorizing Official. Specific
security measures and safeguards will
depend on the FISMA categorization of
the information in a given cloud system.
In accordance with Department policy,
systems that process more sensitive
information will require more stringent
controls and review by Department
cybersecurity experts prior to approval.
Prior to operation, all Cloud systems
must comply with applicable security
measures that are outlined in FISMA,
FedRAMP, OMB regulations, National
Institute of Standards and Technology’s
(NIST) Special Publications (SP) and
Federal Information Processing
Standards (FIPS) and Department of
State policies and standards.
All data stored in cloud environments
categorized above a low FISMA impact
risk level must be encrypted at rest and
in-transit using a federally-approved
encryption mechanism. The encryption
keys shall be generated, maintained, and
controlled in a Department data center
by the Department key management
authority. Deviations from these
encryption requirements must be
approved in writing by the Department
of State Authorizing Official. High
FISMA impact risk level systems will
additionally be subject to continual
auditing and monitoring, multifactor
authentication mechanism utilizing
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and
NIST 800 53 controls concerning
virtualization, servers, storage, and
networking, as well as stringent
measures to sanitize data from the cloud
service once the contract is terminated.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
DEPARTMENT OF STATE
[Public Notice: 12065]
Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records
AGENCY: Department of State.
ACTION: Notice of a modified system of records.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The information of the Bureau of Medical Services (MED) system
is used and reviewed by medical and administrative personnel to provide
health care to the individuals eligible to participate in the medical
program, make clearance decisions for individuals eligible to
participate in the health care program and for applicants to the
Department of State, and as a reference for local medical capabilities.
The system also serves to record and monitor the status of the
professional credentials of Department of State Foreign Service, Civil
Service and Locally Employed Staff healthcare providers.
DATES: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) and (11), this modified
system of records will be effective upon publication, except for the
routine uses (u), (v), and (w) that are subject to a 30-day period
during which interested persons may submit comments to the Department.
Please submit any comments by June 5, 2023. Unless comments are
received that would require a revision, this system of records will
become effective on June 5, 2023.
ADDRESSES: Questions can be submitted by mail, email, or by calling
Eric F. Stein, the Senior Agency Official for Privacy, on (202) 485-
2051. If mail, please write to: U.S Department of State; Office of
Global Information Systems, A/GIS; Room 4534, 2201 C St. NW,
Washington, DC 20520. If email, please address the email to the Senior
Agency Official for Privacy, Eric F. Stein, at [email protected].
Please write ``Medical Records, State-24'' on the envelope or the
subject line of your email.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eric F. Stein, Senior Agency Official
for Privacy; U.S. Department of State; Office of Global Information
Services, A/GIS; Room 4534, 2201 C St. NW, Washington, DC 20520 or by
calling (202) 485-2051.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of this modification is twofold:
(1) to consolidate two existing records systems (State-71--Post
Capabilities Database and State-24--Medical Records) into a single
modified State-24, to accurately reflect the scope of Department
medical records; and (2) to reflect the expansion of Medical Records to
FedRAMP-authorized Cloud environments. The proposed merged System of
Records will include substantive modifications to the following
sections: Routine Uses, Categories of Records, Storage,
[[Page 29172]]
Retrievability, and Record Access Procedures. In addition, the
Department is taking this opportunity to make minor administrative
updates to the notice in the Security Classification and System
Location sections.
SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:
Medical Records, State-24.
SECURITY CLASSIFICATION:
Sensitive but unclassified.
SYSTEM LOCATION:
The Enterprise Server Operations Center (ESOC WEST) in Denver,
Colorado. Some records may be stored within a government cloud provided
system (Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure Gov) and within a
FedRAMP authorized government cloud system provided, implemented, and
overseen by the Department's Enterprise Server Operations Center
(ESOC), 2201 C Street NW, Washington, DC 20520.
SYSTEM MANAGER(S):
Director for Medical Informatics, Bureau of Medical Services, 2401
E Street NW, Washington, DC 20522, [email protected].
AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:
Foreign Service Act of 1980, Sec. 904 (22 U.S.C. 4084); and 5 CFR
part 792 (Federal Employees' Health, Counseling, and Work/Life
Programs).
PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM:
The records maintained in the systems include Personally
Identifiable Information (PII) and Protected Health Information (PHI)
and are used to enable MED's practitioners to provide the best medical
care possible to a globally dispersed patient population. Records
include patients' medical history/records, which are used to provide
medical care, adjudicate medical clearances, and support medical
evacuations. Additionally, the system describes the medical
capabilities available at each Post to support employees under Chief of
Mission authority. Moreover, the system also serves to provide medical
clearances of applicants to the Department of State. The system also
serves to record and monitor the current status of the professional
credentials of Department of State Foreign Service, Civil Service and
Locally Employed Staff healthcare providers.
CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM:
Applicants to the Department of State and their family members,
U.S. Government employees and their family members, Locally Employed
Staff, and any other individuals eligible to participate in the medical
program of the U.S. Department of State as authorized by either section
904 of the Foreign Service Act of 1980 (22 U.S.C. 4084) or other
applicable legal authority. The Privacy Act defines an individual at 5
U.S.C. 552a(a)(2) as a United States citizen or lawful permanent
resident.
CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
Categories of records include full name; Social Security number
(Department of State Employees and applicants only); date of birth;
address; email address; phone number; State Global Identifier (SGID);
reports of medical examinations and related documents, images, and
other items; reports of treatments and other health services rendered
to individuals; immunization records; narrative summaries of hospital
treatments; personal medical histories; reports of on-the-job injuries
or illnesses; reports on medical evacuation; and/or any other types of
individually identifiable health information generated or used in the
course of conducting health care operations. This system includes
records that contain protected health information and does not include
records maintained by the Department of State and/or other employers in
their capacity as employers.
This system also includes certain records maintained as part of the
Department's Employee Assistance Program pursuant to 5 CFR part 792.
The system also includes a directory of MED staff, and professional
credentials of MED providers. The directory may include addresses,
emails, and phone numbers for direct-hire Foreign Service, Civil
Service, and Locally Employed Staff medical personnel. The credentials
that are maintained include copies of licenses and certifications
(Professional, Clinical, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA),
clinical privileges information, and National Provider Identifier
(NPI)). For use by MED clinical staff, the system maintains directories
and high-level assessments of the location and quality of medical
resources offered in the areas surrounding most Post locations. This
system also includes the medical clearance records of applicants to the
Department of State who are in the final stages of their application
process and may further include the medical clearance records of their
family members.
RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES:
Information contained in these records comes from applicants,
patients, hospitals, clinics, laboratories, private medical providers,
employers, and medical professionals employed by the Department of
State.

Statement (published in Volume 73, Number 136, Public Notice 6290, on
July 15, 2008). All these standard routine uses apply to Medical
Records, State-24.
POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF RECORDS:
Records are stored electronically. A description of standard
Department of State policies concerning storage of electronic records
is found at https://fam.state.gov/FAM/05FAM/05FAM0440.html.
POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF RECORDS:
Patient records are retrievable by individual name and/or date of
birth, or patient identification number. MED practitioner records are
retrieval by name or Post. Post capability records are retrievable by
Post name.
POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND DISPOSAL OF RECORDS:
Records are retired and destroyed in accordance with published
Department of State Records Disposition Schedules as approved by the
National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) and outlined at
https://foia.state.gov/Learn/RecordsDisposition.aspx. Additionally,
patient information will be retained in the system for no less than the
period of time specified in Disposition Authorities and will be
archived rather than destroyed when the retention period has passed.
Medical Program Files (permanent) will be transferred to the National
Archives 25 years after the end of the calendar year in which the file
was last updated. Non-Occupational Individual Medical Case Files
(temporary) will be archived by MED no earlier than 10 years after the
most recent encounter. Occupational Individual Medical Case Files (long
term--temporary) will be archived by MED no earlier than 30 years after
employee separation or when the
[[Page 29174]]
Official Personnel Folder is destroyed, whichever is longer. More
specific information may be obtained by writing to the following
address: U.S. Department of State; Director, Office of Information
Programs and Services; A/GIS/IPS; 2201 C Street NW, Room B-266;
Washington, DC 20520.
ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL SAFEGUARDS:
All Department of State network users are given cyber security
awareness training which covers the procedures for handling Sensitive
but Unclassified (SBU) information, including personally identifiable
information (PII). Annual refresher training is mandatory. In addition,
all Department OpenNet users are required to take the Foreign Service
Institute distance learning course instructing employees on privacy and
security requirements, including the rules of behavior for handling PII
and the potential consequences if it is handled improperly. Before
being granted access to Medical Records, a user must first be granted
access to the Department of State computer systems.
Department of State employees and contractors may remotely access
this system of records using non-Department owned information
technology. Such access is subject to approval by the Department's
mobile and remote access program and is limited to information
maintained in unclassified information systems. Remote access to the
Department's information systems is configured in compliance with OMB
Circular A-130 multifactor authentication requirements and includes a
time-out function. All Department of State employees and contractors
with authorized access to records maintained in this system of records
have undergone a thorough background security investigation. Access to
the Department of State, its annexes, and Posts abroad is controlled by
security guards and admission is limited to those individuals
possessing a valid identification card or individuals under proper
escort. Access to computerized files is password-protected and under
the direct supervision of the system manager. The system manager has
the capability of printing audit trails of access from the computer
media, thereby permitting regular and ad hoc monitoring of computer
usage. When it is determined that a user no longer needs access, the
user account is disabled.
The safeguards in the following paragraphs apply only to records
that are maintained in government-certified cloud systems. All cloud
systems that provide IT services and process Department of State
information must be specifically authorized by the Department of State
Authorizing Official and Senior Agency Official for Privacy.
Information that conforms with Department-specific definitions for
Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA) low, moderate,
or high categorization are permissible for cloud usage and must
specifically be authorized by the Department's Cloud Program Management
Office and the Department of State Authorizing Official. Specific
security measures and safeguards will depend on the FISMA
categorization of the information in a given cloud system. In
accordance with Department policy, systems that process more sensitive
information will require more stringent controls and review by
Department cybersecurity experts prior to approval. Prior to operation,
all Cloud systems must comply with applicable security measures that
are outlined in FISMA, FedRAMP, OMB regulations, National Institute of
Standards and Technology's (NIST) Special Publications (SP) and Federal
Information Processing Standards (FIPS) and Department of State
policies and standards.
All data stored in cloud environments categorized above a low FISMA
impact risk level must be encrypted at rest and in-transit using a
federally-approved encryption mechanism. The encryption keys shall be
generated, maintained, and controlled in a Department data center by
the Department key management authority. Deviations from these
encryption requirements must be approved in writing by the Department
of State Authorizing Official. High FISMA impact risk level systems
will additionally be subject to continual auditing and monitoring,
multifactor authentication mechanism utilizing Public Key
Infrastructure (PKI) and NIST 800 53 controls concerning
virtualization, servers, storage, and networking, as well as stringent
measures to sanitize data from the cloud service once the contract is
terminated.
RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES:
Individuals who wish to gain access to or amend records pertaining
to themselves should write to U.S. Department of State; Director,
Office of Information Programs and Services; A/GIS/IPS; 2201 C Street
