statutory penalties for noncompliance.
Proper charge-out procedures will be
followed for the removal of records from
the area in which they are maintained.
Authorized users will receive privacy
and security training before record
access is granted and annually
thereafter. When copying records for
authorized purposes, employees are
instructed to ensure that any imperfect
pages are not left in the reproduction
room where they can be read but are
destroyed or obliterated. Area Privacy
Coordinators have routine access for
monitoring compliance with privacy
regulations.
Technical Safeguards: Records in the
electronic system will be secured by
encryption and intrusion detection
systems. Access to electronic records
will be controlled by user name and
password.

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES:
To request access to records about you
in this system of records, submit a
written access request addressed to the
relevant System Manager (see the
Appendix and the ‘‘System Manager(s)’’
section of this SORN). The request must:
• Reasonably describe the records
sought.
• Include (as applicable) the name of
the IHS Service Unit relevant to your
certification application, or the name of
the Area Certification Board on which
you served, and pertinent dates.
• Include (for contact purposes and
identity verification purposes) your full
name, current address, telephone
number and/or email address, date and
place of birth, signature, evidence of
other names used (if seeking records
retrieved by a name other than your
current name), and, if needed by the
agency, sufficient particulars contained
in the records (such as, record number
or other identifying numbers) to enable
the agency to locate the records and
distinguish between records on subject
individuals with the same name.
In addition, to verify your identity,
your signature on the request must be
notarized or the request must include,
above your signature, your written
certification that you are the individual
who you claim to be and that you
understand that the knowing and willful
request for or acquisition of a record
pertaining to an individual under false
pretenses is a criminal offense subject to
a fine of up to $5,000.
In your written request, you may
request that copies of the records be sent
to you or include your signed, written
consent directing that the records be
sent to a third party, or you may request
an appointment to review the records in
person (including with a person of your
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 262001
choosing, if you provide written
authorization for agency personnel to
discuss the records in that person’s
presence). If you make an appointment
to review the records in person, you
must bring at least one piece of tangible
identification, such as a driver’s license
or passport, to the appointment. You
may also request an accounting of
disclosures that have been made of
records about you, if any. Requests by
telephone will not be accepted.
To the extent the records are Medical
Quality Assurance records protected by
25 U.S.C. 1675, the records may be
disclosed only in accordance with the
exceptions in 25 U.S.C. 1675(d) and
(e)(2), because the Privacy Act right of
access provisions are superseded by the
confidentiality provisions protecting
Medical Quality Assurance Records.
Accordingly, Medical Quality
Assurance Records will only be released
pursuant to the Privacy Act when the
Agency has decided to release the
records in accordance with 25 U.S.C.
1675(d) or (e)(2).
CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES:
To request correction of a record
about you in this system of records,
submit a written request to the relevant
System Manager (see the Appendix and
the ‘‘System Manager(s)’’ section of this
SORN). The request must contain the
same information required for an access
request and include verification of your
identity in the same manner required for
an access request. In addition, the
request must reasonably identify the
record, specify the information
contested, and state the corrective
action sought and the reasons for
requesting the correction. The request
should include supporting information
to show how the record is factually
inaccurate, incomplete, untimely, or
irrelevant. The right to contest records
is limited to information that is factually
inaccurate, incomplete, untimely
(obsolete), or irrelevant.
