Privacy Act of 1974; Privacy Act System of Records

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed revisions to existing Privacy Act systems of 
records.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 
U.S.C. 552a), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is 
issuing public notice of its proposal to modify its previously noticed 
system of records. This notice publishes updates a Goddard Space Flight 
Center system of records as set forth below under the caption 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.

DATES: Submit comments within 30 calendar days from the date of this 
publication. The changes will take effect at the end of that period, if 
no adverse comments are received.

ADDRESSES: Patti F. Stockman, Privacy Act Officer, Office of the Chief 
Information Officer, National Aeronautics and Space Administration 
Headquarters, Washington, DC 20546-0001, (202) 358-4787, [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: NASA Privacy Act Officer, Patti F. 
Stockman, (202) 358-4787, [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy 
Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, and as part of its biennial System of 
Records review, NASA is making the following minor modifications of its 
Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) User 
Information/GSFC 51EUI: Correct a typo in the System Number, changing 
it from 51EUID to 51EUI; eliminate redundancies in System Location; 
update Categories of Records to reflect reduced information collected 
on individuals; insert a Purpose statement; clarify Routine Uses, 
Records Storage, Safeguards, and the listing of System Managers.

Renee P. Wynn,
NASA Chief Information Officer.
GSFC 51EUI

SYSTEM NAME:
    Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) User 
Information.

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION:
    None.

SYSTEM LOCATION:
    Electronic records are maintained on secure NASA and NASA partner 
servers at NASA Locations 1, 4, 7, and 9-10, as set forth in Appendix 
A, and at the following contractor and other Federal agency Distributed 
Active Archive Centers (DAACs):
     Alaska Satellite Facility SAR Data Center DAAC, University 
of Alaska, Fairbanks, AK 99775-7320.
     Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LP 
DAAC), Department of Interior: Earth Resources Observation and Science 
(EROS), 47914 252nd Street, Sioux Falls, SD 57918-0001.
     National Snow and Ice Data Center, University of Colorado, 
Boulder, CO 80309.
     Oak Ridge National Laboratory DAAC, Department of Energy, 
Oak Ridge, TN 37381-6407.
     Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center, Center for 
International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) at Columbia 
University, Palisades, NY 10964.

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM:
    Individuals from the NASA, university, and research communities, as 
well as the general public, who request satellite data or other data 
products from any of the EOSDIS DAACs indicated above, or individuals 
who register to save their data search parameters for reuse in the 
future.

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
    Records in this system consist of information obtained from 
individual users to establish user accounts that enable user 
notification of improved or altered data and services, as well as 
actual science data from EOSDIS, most often via on-line mechanisms. 
Records include an individual's name, email address, organizational 
affiliation, and country of residence.

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:
    51 U.S.C. 20113(a).

[[Page 79950]]

PURPOSE(S):
    These records are used to establish user accounts that enable user 
notification of improved or altered data and services, as well as 
actual science data from EOSDIS, most often via on-line mechanisms.

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES 
OF USERS AND THE PURPOSE OF SUCH USES:
    Any disclosures of information will be compatible with the purpose 
for which the Agency collected the information. The records and 
information in these records may be disclosed: (1) To government 
contractors conducting OMB-approved annual user satisfaction surveys 
collecting user feedback for aggregating reports to OMB and enabling 
NASA to improve its systems, processes, and services to the user 
community; (2) To the European Space Agency (ESA) through public 
posting on a NASA Web site of ESA scientific data users' names, email 
addresses, and organizational affiliation to achieve ESA member nation 
awareness of the breadth of their scientific data use (including ESA 
scientific data hosted by NASA); and (3) In accordance with NASA 
standard routine uses set forth in Appendix B.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, 
AND DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
STORAGE:
    Records are stored electronically on secure servers.

RETRIEVABILITY:
    User account records are typically indexed and retrieved by user's 
name.

SAFEGUARDS:
    Electronic records are maintained on secure NASA servers and 
protected in accordance with all Federal standards and those 
established in NASA regulations at 14 CFR 1212.605. Approved security 
plans for each of the DAACs at NASA and contractor facilities have been 
established in accordance with the Federal Information Security 
Management Act of 2002 (FISMA) and OMB Circular A-130, Management of 
Federal Information Resources. The aggregation of these plans 
constitutes the security plan for EOSDIS. Authorized individuals will 
have access to the system only in accordance with approved 
authentication methods. With the exception of the records of ESA 
scientific data users' information posted in accordance with Routine 
Use (2) above, all user information is protected according to NASA 
guidelines for managing sensitive information.

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:
    The Earth Science Data and Information System (ESDIS) Project has a 
plan under configuration control according to which the original data 
are deleted in accordance with NASA Records Retention Schedule (NRRS) 
2, Item 15A.3. The DAACs reauthorize specific users' information on an 
approved basis and user information is deleted when no longer needed in 
accordance with NRRS 2, Item 19A. Mailing lists containing user 
information are maintained in order to permit distribution of 
newsletters to users and are disposed of according to the NRRS 1, Item 
88.

SYSTEM MANAGERS AND ADDRESSES:
    System Manager: 423/Deputy Project Manager for Operations, ESDIS 
Project, Location 4 as set forth in Appendix A.
    Subsystem Managers: DAAC Managers at each of the locations listed 
under System Location above; ECHO Manager, EMS Manager, and LANCE 
Manager, all in Code 423 at Location 4 as set forth in Appendix A.

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE:
    Individuals inquiring about their records should contact the System 
Manager at the address given above and provide their name and email 
address. The System Manager can be reached by phone at (301) 614-5048.

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURE:
    Individuals who wish to gain access to their records should submit 
their request in writing to the System Manager at the address provided 
or by phone at (301) 614-5048.
