SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
[[Page 57199]]
I. Background on System of Records 09-80-0361, OPRE Research and
Evaluation Project Records
The system of records covers individually identifiable records
about individuals that are retrieved by a personal identifier to
conduct OPRE research, evaluation, and data projects that study how to
improve the economic and social well-being of children and families
and/or increase the effectiveness and efficiency of programs inside and
outside ACF working towards that goal (OPRE Projects). While the
results of these studies are generally deidentified and made publicly
available, the process of collecting and analyzing the information may,
in some instances, require retrieving identifiable records about
individuals by personal identifier (for example, to combine or de-
duplicate data about the same individual collected at different times
or from different sources). The majority of OPRE Projects are conducted
without directly retrieving records by personal identifier, so do not
involve Privacy Act records.
II. Modifications Made to the System of Records
The updated System of Records Notice (SORN) published in this
notice includes the following modifications:
<bullet> The SORN has been reformatted to comply with current
format requirements in OMB Circular A-108, issued December 23, 2016.
The Circular changed the order and headings of certain SORN sections
and added a ``SORN History'' section.
<bullet> The ``System Location'' and ``System Manager(s)'' sections
have been updated with current addresses, and the System Manager(s)
section now includes an email address.
<bullet> The ``Authorities'' section no longer cites 42 U.S.C. 7103
and 42 U.S.C. 9858 et seq. and the Consolidated Appropriations Act of
2008, and now cites the following in addition to the other previously
cited authorities. Some of the newly cited statutes specifically
identify when ACF should provide a service or evaluate an activity. The
other statutes give ACF the authority to distribute funds; recipients
must report information about the individuals assisted via those funds
to ACF, which is then used in one or more OPRE Projects.
[cir] 22 U.S.C. 7104 and 7105 (authorizes the HHS Secretary to
provide grants to help victims of human trafficking and educate
individuals about human trafficking).
[cir] 34 U.S.C. 11243 (authorizes the HHS Secretary to carry out
research, evaluation, demonstration, and service projects to increase
knowledge concerning, and to improve services for, runaway youth and
homeless youth);
[cir] 42 U.S.C. 5105 (authorizes the HHS Secretary to fund a
continuous program of research on how to better protect children from
child abuse or neglect and improve the well-being of victims of child
abuse or neglect);
[cir] 42 U.S.C. 9844 (authorizes the HHS Secretary, directly or
through grants or contracts, to carry out research, demonstrations, and
evaluation activities to improve Head Start programs);
[cir] 42 U.S.C. 10404 (authorizes the HHS Secretary to coordinate
Departmental programs to prevent family violence, domestic violence, or
dating violence);
[cir] 42 U.S.C. 1397 et seq. (discusses the administration of the
Block Grants to States for Social Services and research connected to
those grants);
[cir] 42 U.S.C. subchapter II-B (authorized Child Care and
Development Block Grants in fiscal years (FYs) 2015 through 2020 to
fund state child care programs; data funded in prior FYs still exists);
[cir] 42 U.S.C. subchapter V (authorizes the HHS Secretary to
support special projects of regional and national significance and
research regarding maternal and child health); and
[cir] Executive Order (E.O.) 9397 as amended by E.O. 13478
(addresses use of personal identifiers).
<bullet> The ``Purpose(s)'' section has been revised to add a
description of types of OPRE Projects, which are listed as a. through
g., and to omit an unnecessary statement that the procedures for
collecting information about research subjects in OPRE Projects are
reviewed, as appropriate, by Institutional Review Boards and are
subject to HHS regulations on research with human subjects, including
requirements for informed consent.
<bullet> The ``Categories of Individuals'' section has been
clarified and expanded. Instead of stating that information is about
research ``participants'' and may include information about family
members of program participants and service recipients, it encompasses
program clients, individuals (such as family members) who provide
information about program clients, and sole practitioners who provide
services to program clients; and it makes clear that information about
them may be from a pre-existing dataset used in an OPRE Project, not
necessarily newly collected specifically for the OPRE Project.
<bullet> The ``Categories of Records'' section includes some
revised and additional examples of data elements that may be contained
in the records; i.e.:
[cir] ``Email address'' has been added to the examples of contact
information.
[cir] In the examples of sociodemographic information, ``date of
birth'' has been changed to ``age''; ``citizenship'' has been removed;
and the following have been added: tribal affiliation, gender,
sexuality, language preferences and proficiencies, responses to
assessments and collections (e.g., surveys and interviews),
photographs, voice and video recordings and transcripts, bio-specimens,
correspondences, and administrative records.
[cir] In examples of other information, ``income'' has been changed
to ``finances''; ``pre-school Head start participation'' has been
broadened to ``other governmental services''; and the following have
been added: education; living situation, sexual history, mental and
physical health and well-being, criminal activities, risky behaviors
(e.g., illicit drug use), family dynamics (e.g., beliefs), and
disabilities.
<bullet> The ``Record Source Categories'' section has been reworded
but not substantively changed.
<bullet> The ``Routine Uses'' section includes the following
updates:
[cir] The introduction omits this statement: ``In addition,
contractors may be restricted by contract from making a disclosure
allowed as a routine use or by law without the consent of HHS, of the
data subject, or both, unless the disclosure is required by law.''
[cir] Three existing routine uses have been revised, as follows:
[ssquf] Routine use 2, which authorizes disclosures incident to
requesting information, has been revised to change ``information'' to
``records'' and to change ``research or evaluation'' to ``OPRE
Project.''
[ssquf] Routine use 4, which authorizes disclosures to the
Department of Justice or in proceedings, has been revised to omit a
statement about compatibility with the original collection purpose,
which is redundant because it repeats part of the definition of a
routine use.
[ssquf] Routine use 5, which previously authorized disclosures to
HHS contractors, has been revised to include HHS grantees and to add,
as a condition of disclosure, that the contractor or grantee must be
required by the terms of the contract or grant to comply with the
Privacy Act.
[cir] One routine use has been deleted (numbered as 6 in the
existing SORN); it authorized disclosures to claims examiners,
investigators, arbitrators,
[[Page 57200]]
etc., at other agencies (including the Office of Personnel Management,
Office of Special Counsel, Merit System Protection Board, Federal Labor
Relations Authority, Equal Opportunity Commission, and Office of
Government Ethics) in administrative grievance, claim, complaint, and
appeal cases filed by employees. In the unlikely event that an
employee's work, with or responsibility for, records in this system of
records were to become an issue in such a case, it should not be
necessary to use identifiable records from this system of records for
investigation, discovery, evidentiary, settlement, or other purposes in
the case.
[cir] Two new routine uses have been added (numbered as 9 and 10)
authorizing disclosures for research that will not impact the record
subject and disclosures so that an organization that serves an
individual under a federal contract may access information about its
services to continue serving the individual.
<bullet> A section headed ``Disclosure to Consumer Reporting
Agencies'' has been removed as unnecessary, because the section merely
confirmed that such disclosures are not made from this system of
records.
<bullet> The ``Storage'' section previously stated that, depending
on the project, records ``may be stored on paper or other hard copy,
computers, and networks,'' and now states that records ``are stored in
paper and electronic form.''
<bullet> The ``Retrieval'' section has been reworded but not
substantively changed.
<bullet> The ``Retention'' section no longer states that
identifiers are removed once the analysis is complete. Instead, it now
states that a disposition schedule is pending approval by the National
Archives and Records Administration (NARA), which proposes that the
records be cutoff upon completion of final report or termination of
evaluation and be destroyed 5 years after cutoff; and that ACF/OPRE
will continue to retain the records indefinitely until the schedule is
approved by NARA.
<bullet> The ``Safeguards'' section, which previously stated that
contractors and other record keepers are required to maintain
``appropriate'' administrative, technical, and physical safeguards and
that records are ``secured in compliance with Federal requirements''
now describes particular administrative, technical, or physical
safeguards that are used to protect the records from unauthorized
access.
<bullet> The ``Record Access Procedures,'' ``Contesting Record
Procedures,'' and ``Notification Procedures'' sections have been
revised to state that access, amendment, and notification requests
``must'' (instead of ``should'') be in writing and contain identity
verification information; to no longer require that requests include
``Social Security Number '' (SSN); and to specify how the requester's
identity may be verified (i.e., by a notarized signature or a statement
signed under penalty of perjury) instead of stating that verification
of identity would be ``as described in the Department's Privacy Act
regulations.''
Because some of these changes are significant, HHS provided advance
notice of the modified system of records to the Office of Management
and Budget and Congress as required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) and OMB
Circular A-108.

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM:
The records in this system of records are used for the purpose of
conducting OPRE research, evaluation, and data projects that study how
to improve the economic and social well-being of children and families
and/or increase the effectiveness and efficiency of programs inside and
outside ACF working towards that goal (OPRE Projects). Each OPRE
Project may involve:
(a) the analysis of data from various sources;
(b) the collection of data through surveys, focus groups,
interviews, and other methods;
(c) the provision of technical assistance to organizations;
(d) the evaluation of programs and services;
(e) the provision of services to populations and evaluating their
outcomes;
(f) data and capacity building within ACF; and
(g) other research, evaluation, and data related activities.
This work may be supported or accomplished by federal staff or by
[[Page 57201]]
contractors, vendors, grantees, and other partners.
CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM:
The system of records contains records about the following
categories of individuals:
(a) Individuals who are considered for inclusion or are included in
an OPRE Project (e.g., service recipients, individuals providing
services);
(b) Individuals who provide information about those considered or
selected for an OPRE Project (e.g., parents and other relatives, case
managers, program managers, alternate points of contact); and
(c) Individuals whose information is in a pre-existing dataset
evaluated or analyzed as part of an OPRE Project. This includes
administrative datasets created while operating programs such as
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families or Head Start.
CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
The records maintained about a specific individual will depend on
which OPRE Project the individual was considered for or included in and
the individual's role in the project. An OPRE Project may collect the
individual's identifying information and contact information (name,
address(es), telephone number(s), email address(es), SSN);
sociodemographic characteristics (e.g., age, race, ethnicity, tribal
affiliation, gender, sexuality); language preferences and
proficiencies; responses to assessments and collections (e.g., surveys
and interviews); photographs; voice and video recordings and
transcripts; bio-specimens; correspondences; identifiers specific to
the applicable project or series of projects in which the individual
was involved; and administrative records. It may also collect records
about an individual's current and prior finances; education;
employment; living situation; sexual history; mental and physical
health and well-being; criminal activities; risky behaviors (e.g.,
illicit drug use); family dynamics (e.g., marriage, relationships, and
beliefs); disabilities; service utilization; other characteristics;
experiences with child welfare and other governmental services; and
experiences relevant to ACF's programs.
RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES:
The sources of records in the system may include: the record
subject; HHS; other governmental agencies (federal, state, tribal, and
local) and their agents; ACF contractors and grantees; research
institutions, foundations, and similar organizations; publicly
available documents; commercial sources; individuals who know the
record subject (e.g., relatives, case managers, service providers, and
neighbors); and other third parties.
ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES
OF USERS AND THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:
These routine uses specify circumstances, in addition to those
provided by statute in the Privacy Act, under which ACF may release
information from the system of records without the record subject's
consent.
Each proposed disclosure under these routine uses will be evaluated
to ensure it is legally permissible and appropriate. If a OPRE Project
received a certificate of confidentiality, these routine uses will not
authorize a disclosure barred by the terms of the certificate.
(1) Disclosure for Law Enforcement Purpose
Information may be disclosed to the appropriate federal, state,
local, tribal, or foreign agency responsible for investigating,
prosecuting, enforcing, or implementing a statute, rule, regulation, or
order, if the information is relevant to a violation or potential
violation of civil or criminal law or regulation within the
jurisdiction of the receiving entity. However, because this is a
research and evaluation system, no information will be disclosed for
use in any investigation, prosecution, or other action targeted against
any individual who is the subject of the record.
(2) Disclosure Incident to Requesting Records
Records may be disclosed (to the extent necessary to identify the
individual, inform the source of the purpose of the request, and
identify the type of records requested), to any source from which
additional records are requested when necessary to obtain records
relevant to the OPRE Project being conducted.
(3) Disclosure to Congressional Office
Information may be disclosed to a congressional office from the
record of an individual in response to a written inquiry from the
congressional office made at the request of the individual.
(4) Disclosure to Department of Justice or in Proceedings
Information may be disclosed to the Department of Justice, or in a
proceeding before a court, adjudicative body, or other administrative
body before HHS is authorized to appear, when (a) HHS, or any component
thereof; or (b) any employee of HHS in his or her official capacity; or
(c) any employee of HHS in his or her individual capacity where the
Department of Justice or HHS has agreed to represent the employee; or
(d) the United States, if HHS determines that litigation is likely to
affect HHS or any of its components; is a party to litigation or has an
interest in such litigation, and the use of such records by the
Department of Justice or HHS is deemed by HHS to be relevant and
necessary to the litigation.
(5) Disclosure to Contractors and Grantees
Records may be disclosed to a contractor or grantee that (a) is
performing or working on a contract or grant for HHS, (b) needs to
access the records in the performance of their duties or activities for
HHS, and (c) is required by the terms of the contract or grant to
comply with the Privacy Act.
(6) Disclosure in Connection with Litigation
Information may be disclosed in connection with litigation or
settlement discussions regarding claims by or against HHS, including
public filing with a court, to the extent that disclosure of the
information is relevant and necessary to the litigation or discussions
and except where court orders are otherwise required under 5 U.S.C.
552a(b)(11).
(7) Disclosure in the Event of a Security Breach Experienced by HHS
To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when (1) HHS
suspects or has confirmed that there has been a breach of the system of
records; (2) HHS has determined that as a result of the suspected or
confirmed breach there is a risk of harm to individuals, HHS (including
its information systems, programs, and operations), the federal
government, or national security; and (3) the disclosure made to such
agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to assist in
connection with HHS's efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed
breach or to prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm.
(8) Disclosure in the Event of a Security Breach Experienced by
Another Agency or Entity
To another federal agency or federal entity, when HHS determines
that information from the system of records is reasonably necessary to
assist the recipient agency or entity in (1) responding to a suspected
or confirmed breach or (2) preventing, minimizing, or remedying the
risk of harm to individuals, the recipient agency or entity (including
its information systems, programs, and operations), the federal
government, or national security, resulting from a suspected or
confirmed breach.
(9) Disclosure for Research Purposes
[[Page 57202]]
Records may be disclosed for a research, evaluation, or data
purpose if HHS:
(A) Determines that the use and disclosure does not violate the
laws or policies under which the record was collected;
(B) Determines that the purpose cannot be reasonably accomplished
unless individually identifiable information is provided;
(C) Determines that the purpose warrants any privacy risk to the
individual caused by the disclosure;
(D) Determines that the disclosure will not directly affect the
rights, privileges, or benefits of a particular individual.
(E) Requires the recipient to:
1. Establish reasonable administrative, technical, and physical
safeguards to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of the record;
2. Destroy the individually identifiable information as soon as
reasonable for that project;
3. Not reuse or redisclose the information except:
(a) in an emergency circumstances affecting the health or safety of
an individual,
(b) to another research, evaluation, or data project with written
authorization from HHS,
(c) for an audit related to the project, if the individually
identifiable information is removed or destroyed at the earliest
opportunity consistent with the purpose of the audit, or
(d) when required by law; and
4. Provide HHS a written statement that they understand and will
abide by these requirements.
(10) Disclosure to Continue Services
Records about the services an individual received from a grantee as
part of an OPRE Project may be shared with that grantee, or successor
organizations, to continue serving that individual.
POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF RECORDS:
Records are stored in paper and electronic form.
POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF RECORDS:
Records are retrieved by the subject individual's name, SSN, or
another personal identifier contained in the records.
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR RETENTION AND DISPOSAL OF RECORDS:
A disposition schedule, DAA-0292-2020-0005, is pending approval by
NARA, which proposes at Item 1.3 that the records (background materials
for creation of studies and reports) be cut off at the end of the
calendar year in which the report is published and destroyed 5 years
after cut-off. ACF/OPRE will continue to retain the records
indefinitely until the schedule is approved by NARA.
ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL SAFEGUARDS:
All record keepers are required to maintain appropriate
administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the
records from unauthorized access. Administrative controls include
training individuals who have access to the records how to handle them
appropriately, incident response plans, and limiting access to
individuals who need to know the information. Technical controls
include the use of antivirus software, vulnerability patching, multi-
factor authentication when required, and storing electronic records in
encrypted form. Physical controls include storing hard copy records and
computer terminals used to access electronic records in physically
locked locations when not in use.
RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES:
Individuals seeking access to records about them in this system of
records must submit a written access request to the System Manager
identified in the ``System Manager(s)'' section of this SORN, in
accordance with the Department's Privacy Act implementation regulations
in 45 CFR. The request must contain the requester's full name, contact
information (i.e., telephone number and/or email address, and current
mailing address), and sufficient identifying particulars contained in
the records to enable the System Manager to distinguish between records
on subject individuals with the same name. In addition, to verify the
requester's identity, the request must be signed by the requester, and
the signature must be notarized or the request must include the
requester's written certification that the requester is the person the
requester claims to be and that he/she understands 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.
CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES:
Individuals seeking to amend a record about them in this system of
records must submit a written amendment request to the System Manager
identified in the ``System Manager(s)'' section of this SORN, in
accordance with the Department's Privacy Act implementation regulations
in 45 CFR. An amendment request must include verification of the
requester's identity in the same manner required for an access request
and must reasonably identify the record and specify the information
being contested, the corrective action sought, and the reasons for
requesting the correction, along with supporting information to show
how the record is inaccurate, incomplete, untimely, or irrelevant.
NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES:
Individuals seeking to determine whether this system of records
contains records about them must submit a written notification request
to the System Manager identified in the ``System Manager(s)'' section
of this SORN, in accordance with the Department's Privacy Act
implementation regulations in 45 CFR and verify their identity in the
same manner required for an access request.
EXEMPTIONS PROMULGATED FOR THE SYSTEM:
None.
