``Community Health Aide Program (CHAP) Records.'' The records in the
new system of records are about individual healthcare providers who
have applied for Federal certification under the Community Health Aide
Program (CHAP) created under the Indian Health Care Improvement Act, as
amended; and individuals serving as CHAP Certification Board members
who review and evaluate the certification/recertification applications
for completeness and verify that the candidates meet the minimum
standards for certification. The CHAP Certification Board will provide
the respective Area Director with its recommendation to either certify,
recertify, or deny certification after reviewing the certification
applications.

<a href="http://www.ihs.gov/chap">www.ihs.gov/chap</a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Consistent with 25 U.S.C. 1616l, the records
system will be referred to as the Community Health Aide Program (CHAP)
Records. The purpose of the new system of records is to preserve and
process records related to Federal certification of health providers
under the CHAP. CHAP providers include the disciplines and provider
types approved by the National CHAP Certification Board.
The records include: (1) applications for CHAP certification
submitted by individual providers (those seeking certification at any
level--e.g., levels I, II, III, IV, Practitioner, and Therapist, those
seeking recertification, those previously certified seeking an
additional or different certification, those denied Federal
certification, and those with revoked Federal certification); and (2)
the qualifications and recommendations of CHAP certification board
members who review certification applications and provide
recommendations to Area Directors for the certification,
recertification, or denial of certification. The Area Certification
Board may also provide review requests for decertifications and make
recommendations to Area Directors to decertify individual providers.
A Tribe or Tribal Organization supporting a CHAP Certification
Board under an Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act
(ISDEAA) agreement may maintain a copy of a record, but the Tribe's
copy would be a Tribal record, not a Federal agency record that is
subject to the Privacy Act, Federal Records Act, or the Freedom of
Information Act, nor would it constitute the official Federal record.
Roselyn Tso,
Director, Indian Health Service.
SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:
Community Health Aide Program (CHAP) Records, 09-17-0006.
SECURITY CLASSIFICATION:
Unclassified.
SYSTEM LOCATION:
The addresses of the agency components responsible for the system
of records are found in the Appendix.
SYSTEM MANAGER(S):
The official listed in the Appendix for the Area Office that
processed the particular certification application involving the
subject individual as an applicant, or with respect to a board member
from that Area's Certification Board, is the relevant System Manager
who the subject individual must contact to make a Privacy Act request.
AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:
The Indian Health Care Improvement Act, as amended (25 U.S.C. 1601
et seq.), and specifically 25 U.S.C. 1616l.
PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM:
The records in this system of records will be used to implement the
CHAP under 25 U.S.C. 1616l, including for these principal purposes:
1. Purposes for which records about individual providers will be
used:
<bullet> To process applications for certification that are
submitted by prospective, current, and former CHAP providers seeking
initial or renewal Federal certification to provide community health
care, behavioral health, oral health services, or other services
authorized by the IHS National CHAP Certification Board to be provided
in a Federal or Tribal facility operating a CHAP.
<bullet> To document the dates and certification status of CHAP
providers, including changes/modifications in categories and levels of
certification. An example of a category modification would be a Dental
Health Aide Therapist adding a level I Behavioral Health Aide
certification. An example of a change in level would be a level IV
Community Health Aide becoming a Community Health Aide Practitioner.
<bullet> To secure reciprocity for CHAP providers across
jurisdictions and IHS-defined geographical areas (often referred to as
``Areas'') by enabling the National Certification Board, in its
oversight role, to ensure each Area's education/training requirements,
standards and procedures meet or exceed the National standards.
<bullet> To ensure that Federal and Tribal healthcare facilities
seeking to hire current, prospective, and former Federally certified
CHAP providers have access to the certification status of providers
certified under 25 U.S.C. 1616l.
<bullet> To ensure that CHAP providers are qualified, competent,
and capable of delivering quality healthcare consistent with the
National CHAP Program Standards and Policies at large, and that the
CHAP providers' scopes of practice are in line with their competency,
their training, and the ability of the facility to provide adequate
support, equipment, services, and staff.
<bullet> To inform the staff of health care facilities seeking to
employee CHAP providers for the purpose of assessing the providers'
professional competence, character, and fitness.
<bullet> To inform State health professional boards that have
oversight of CHAP providers of information they need to carry out their
legally assigned functions.
2. Purposes for which records about CHAP Certification Board
members will be used:
<bullet> For board staffing and other administrative purposes and
to ensure program integrity (i.e., to recruit and select individuals
who are qualified to render certification decisions that maintain
appropriate CHAP levels of care).
<bullet> To document each member's membership effective dates and
separations, qualifications, and decisions related to Area
Certification Board recommendations to Area Directors.
IHS may also use the records for secondary purposes, such as
program planning and evaluation, individual evaluation, continuous
quality improvement, compiling of numbers and types of providers
certified each cycle, and other purposes consistent with the
authorities in 25 U.S.C. 1616l.
CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM:
The records will be about these categories of individuals:
<bullet> Prospective, current, and former CHAP providers working or
seeking to work in Tribal and Federal healthcare facilities and those
denied certification, described in more detail as follows:
[cir] Prospective--Those who have sought Federal certification and
are awaiting a decision.
[cir] Current--Those who have sought Federal certification and have
been recommended and issued Federal certification for any level of
provider approved by the National CHAP Certification Board. This
includes those who may have advanced, regressed, or changed their
provider type category.
[cir] Former--Those who sought Federal certification and were
recommended and issued Federal certification for any level of
recognized CHAP providers but whose certification is not current.
[cir] Individuals Denied Certification or Certification Revoked--
Those who applied for certification but whose application for
certification was denied or had certifications revoked.
<bullet> Individuals serving as CHAP Certification Board Members
who review applications for certification/recertification and requests
for decertifications to make recommendations to the respective Area
Director.
CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES
OF USERS AND PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:
In addition to the disclosures authorized directly in the Privacy
Act at 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(1), (b)(2), and (b)(4) through (b)(11), these
routine uses specify circumstances under which the agency may disclose
information from this system of records to a non-HHS officer or
employee without the consent of the subject individual. IHS will
prohibit redisclosures, or may permit only certain redisclosures, as
required or authorized by law. Each proposed disclosure permitted
directly in the Privacy Act or under these routine uses will also be
evaluated to ensure that the disclosure is legally permissible under
any other applicable laws.
1. Disclosures for Evaluation of Healthcare Delivery Services.
Records about applicants and certified providers may be disclosed to
organizations authorized to conduct evaluation studies concerning the
delivery of health care services by the IHS and HHS (e.g., Joint
Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations).
2. Disclosures to CHAP Certification Boards and Contractors to
perform duties. Certification records about CHAP providers may be
disclosed to CHAP Certification Boards authorized by IHS, consistent
with 25 U.S.C 1616l. This includes disclosures to the non-Federal
members of a CHAP Certification Board and to employees of a Tribe or
Tribal organization who have a need to have access to the information
in performance of their duties or activities for such boards and
organizations operating under an Indian Self-Determination and
Education Assistance Act (ISDEAA) agreement.
3. Disclosures for certification software vendors/contractors.
Records may be disclosed to a certification software vendor performing
or working on a contract for IHS and who has a need to have access to
the information in the performance of its duties or activities for IHS
in accordance with law and with the contract.
4. Disclosures for Evaluation or Verification of Application Data.
IHS may disclose biographic data and information supplied by an
applicant to (a) contacts listed on the applications and associated
forms for the purpose of evaluating the applicant's professional
qualifications, personal characteristics, experience, and suitability,
(b) a Federal, state, or local government health profession licensing
or certification board, or (c) a health care oversight or professional
monitoring organization or program (e.g., accreditation surveyors, or
the National Practitioner Data Bank) for the purpose of verifying that
a clinician's claimed background and employment data are valid and all
claimed credentials are current and in good standing.
5. Disclosures for Reimbursement of Care Purposes. Records about a
provider's certification status may be disclosed to Federal, state,
private and third-party payers that need to know the provider's
certification status to issue reimbursements for care rendered by the
provider.
6. Disclosures to OPM. Records about providers may be disclosed to
the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) if the records are relevant to
the individual's application for or maintenance of Civil Service
appointments.
7. Disclosures for human resource matters. Records pertaining to
IHS certification decisions may be disclosed to Federal, state, local,
or Tribal entities when necessary for them to address human resources
matters arising from IHS certification decisions.
8. Disclosures for Compliance Monitoring. Records about a current
provider or board member may be disclosed to relevant governmental
agencies for the purpose of monitoring the individual's compliance with
applicable laws and standards, on an ongoing basis, to ensure that the
individual remains qualified for Federal certification or to serve as a
CHAP Certification Board member.
9. Disclosure to Department of Justice or in Proceedings. HHS may
disclose information from this system of records to the Department of
Justice (DOJ), or to a court or other tribunal, when any of the
following is a party to litigation or similar proceedings or has an
interest in such proceedings, and HHS determines that the proceedings
are likely to affect HHS or any of its components: (a) HHS, or any
component thereof; (b) any HHS employee in their official capacity; (c)
[[Page 74498]]
any HHS employee in their individual capacity where the DOJ (or HHS,
where it is authorized to do so) has agreed to represent the employee;
or (d) the United States or any agency thereof. In order to disclose
information in these circumstances, HHS must determine that the use of
such records by the DOJ, the court or other tribunal is relevant and
necessary to the proceedings and would help in the effective
representation of the governmental party or interest.
10. Disclosures to Congressional Office. Records may be disclosed
to a congressional office from the record of an individual in response
to a verified inquiry from the congressional office made at the written
request of that individual.
11. Reporting Violations or Potential Violations of Law. In the
event that a record in this system of records on its face, or in
conjunction with other records, indicates a violation or potential
violation of law, whether civil, criminal, or regulatory in nature, and
whether arising by general statute or particular program statute, or by
regulation, rule, or order issued pursuant thereto, the relevant
records in this system of records may be referred to the appropriate
agency, whether Federal, state, local, or Tribal, charged with
enforcing or implementing the statute or rule, regulation, or order
issued pursuant thereto.
12. Disclosure in the Event of a Security Breach Experienced by
HHS. Records may be disclosed 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 efforts to respond to the
suspected or confirmed breach or to prevent, minimize, or remedy such
harm.
13. Disclosure to Assist another Agency Experiencing a Security
Breach. Records may be disclosed to another Federal agency or Federal
entity, when HHS determines that information from this 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.
14. Medical Quality Assurance Disclosures. Records about providers
and board members may be disclosed for any purpose authorized by 25
U.S.C. 1675(d) or (e)(2). To the extent the records are protected by 25
U.S.C. 1675, the records may only be disclosed in accordance with the
exceptions in 25 U.S.C. 1675(d) and (e)(2).
15. Disclosures of Certification Status. Records about current or
former CHAP providers, individuals denied certification, or individuals
seeking certification may be disclosed to Federal, state, local and
Tribal governmental entities with authority to maintain records
concerning the issuance, retention, or revocation of Federal
certifications necessary to practice a health professional occupation
or specialty.
16. Disclosures to the public. Information about a provider's
certification status may be made public for awareness of which
providers are currently in good standing as CHAP providers, or to share
how many providers are certified to help determine the need for more
providers or training facilities based on clinical need, and would be
limited to information that would be required to be disclosed to the
public under the Freedom of Information Act.
POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF RECORDS:
The records will be stored in file folders and computer-based
electronic files on the secure IHS network indexed by name and record
number in accordance with current IHS policy.
POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF RECORDS:
The records will be retrieved by the subject individual's name or
certification number (for current and former CHAP providers) and any
other identifying numbers necessary to ensure that the records
retrieved are about the intended individual.
POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND DISPOSAL OF RECORDS:
Upon approval of a disposition schedule by the National Archives
and Records Administration (NARA), the records will be disposed of when
eligible for destruction under the schedule, if the records are no
longer needed for administrative, audit, legal, or operational
purposes. While the records are unscheduled, they must be retained
indefinitely. Note that CHAP is an expansion of the use of CHAP
providers throughout the IHS health system, and only the Alaska CHAP
maintains historical and archived records.
ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL SAFEGUARDS:
The records will be protected from unauthorized access by the
following safeguards. All safeguards will conform to applicable laws,
rules, and policies, including the HHS Information Security and Privacy
Program, <a href="https://www.hhs.gov/ocio/securityprivacy/">https://www.hhs.gov/ocio/securityprivacy/</a>, the E-Government
Act of 2002, as amended (44 U.S.C. ch. 35), pertinent National
Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) publications, and OMB
Circular A-130, Managing Information as a Strategic Resource.
Authorized Users: Access will be limited to authorized users who
(1) have a need for such records in the performance of their official
duties and (2) are advised of the confidentiality of the records and
the civil and criminal penalties for misuse. Particularly as the IHS
transitions to an electronic records system, authorized users may
include individuals and entities outside of HHS who are given certain
access for purposes of facilitating specific disclosures authorized
under the Privacy Act, including the routine uses described above. For
example, authorized users may include: National Certification Board
members, Area Certification Board members, IHS Area Offices, Office of
Clinical and Preventive Services CHAP staff, clinical supervision staff
and additional IHS or Tribal staff with oversight responsibilities
related to CHAP providers within an Indian Health Program, as defined
in 25 U.S.C. 1603(12).
At each location where records in this system will be maintained, a
list of users or categories of users having an official need-to-know
has been developed and is maintained.
Physical Safeguards: Paper records will be kept in locked metal
filing cabinets or in locked desk drawers in secured rooms at all times
when not actually in use during working hours and at all times during
non-working hours. Record storage areas, including file cabinets and
desks, are not left unattended or unlocked during office hours,
including lunch hours.
Administrative Safeguards: Only persons who have an official need-
to-know will be entrusted with records from this system of records, and
they will be instructed to safeguard the confidentiality of the records
and to destroy all copies or to return such records when the need to
know has ended. Instructions will include the
[[Page 74499]]
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:
<bullet> Reasonably describe the records sought.
<bullet> 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.
<bullet> 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
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.
NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES:
To find out if the system of records contains a record about you,
submit a written notification request to the relevant System Manager
(see the Appendix and the ``System Manager(s)''section of this SORN).
The request must identify this system of records, contain the same
information required for an access request, and include verification of
identity in the same manner required for an access request.
EXEMPTIONS PROMULGATED FOR THE SYSTEM:
None.
