SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Introduction

    Under division H, title V, section 525 of the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2014 (Pub. L. 113-76) and title VII, part A, 
subpart I of the Public Health Service Act, the authority to administer 
the HEAL program, including servicing, collecting, and enforcing any 
loans made under the program that remain outstanding, was transferred 
from the Secretary of Health and Human Services to the Secretary of 
Education on July 1, 2014, the date of the enactment of the 
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014.
    The HEAL program system of records covers records for all 
activities that the Department carries out with regard to servicing, 
collecting, and enforcing Federal student loans made under title VII, 
part A, subpart I of the Public Health Service Act that remain 
outstanding. The HEAL program system also contains records of 
transactions performed by the Department to carry out the purposes of 
this system of records. The Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) and (11)) 
requires Federal agencies to publish in the Federal Register this 
notice of an altered system of records. The Department's regulations 
implementing the Privacy Act are contained in part 5b of title 34 of 
the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
    The Privacy Act applies to records about individuals that contain 
individually identifying information and that are retrieved by a unique 
identifier associated with each individual, such as a name or Social 
Security number. The information about each individual is called a 
``record,'' and the system, whether manual or computer-based, is called 
a ``system of records.''
    Whenever the Department makes a significant change to an 
established system of records, the Privacy Act requires the Department 
to publish a notice of an altered system of records in the Federal 
Register and to prepare and send a report to the Chair of the Committee 
on Oversight and Government Reform of the House of Representatives, the 
Chair of the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of 
the Senate, and the Administrator of the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, OMB. These reports are intended to permit an 
evaluation of the probable effect of the proposal on the privacy rights 
of individuals.
    A change to a system of records is considered to be a significant 
change that must be reported whenever an agency expands the types or 
categories of information maintained, significantly expands the number, 
types, or categories of individuals about whom records are maintained, 
changes the purpose for which the information is used, changes the 
equipment configuration in a way that creates substantially greater 
access to the records, or adds a routine use disclosure to the system.
    The Department of Education previously published the HEAL program 
system of records in the Federal Register on June 26, 2014 (79 FR 
36299). This notice will revise programmatic routine use (18) (formerly 
routine use (15)) to include the Federal Register, and a Defaulted 
Borrowers Web site, should the Department elect to reestablish this or 
a similar Web site, as locations where the Department may publish the 
names of defaulted HEAL program borrowers (and any other fields the 
Department intends to publish, e.g., area of practice). Former 
programmatic routine use (15) included only the Defaulted Borrowers Web 
site as the location for this information to be published.
    Accessible Format: Individuals with disabilities can obtain this 
document in an accessible format (e.g., braille, large print, 
audiotape, or compact disc) on request to the person listed under FOR 
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
    Electronic Access to This Document: The official version of this 
document is the document published in the Federal Register. Free

Code of Federal Regulations is available via the Federal Digital System 
at: www.thefederalregister.org/fdsys. At this site you can view this document, as well

Register, in text or Portable Document Format (PDF). To use PDF you

the records of an individual to a Member of Congress in response to an

and the third party, and requires that the matching be conducted in 
compliance with the requirements of the Privacy Act. Purposes of these 
disclosures may be: (a) To establish or verify program eligibility and 
benefits, (b) to establish or verify compliance with program 
regulations or statutory requirements, such as to investigate possible 
fraud or abuse; and (c) to recoup payments or delinquent debts under 
any Federal benefit programs, such as to locate or take legal action 
against a delinquent or defaulted debtor. At the time of the 
publication of this notice, the Department is not engaged in a computer 
matching program for the HEAL program.
    (17) Disclosure of Information to Treasury. The Department may 
disclose records of this system to (a) a Federal or State agency, its 
employees, agents (including contractors of its agents), or 
contractors, or (b) a fiscal or financial agent designated by the 
Treasury, including employees, agents, or contractors of such agent, 
for the purpose of identifying, preventing, or recouping improper 
payments to an applicant for, or recipient of, Federal funds, including 
funds disbursed by a State in a State-administered, Federally funded 
program; and disclosure may be made to conduct computerized comparisons 
for this purpose.
    (18) Disclosure of Defaulted Debtors in Federal Register 
Publication or on Designated Web sites. In accordance with the 
directive in 42 U.S.C. 292h(c), ED must publish in the Federal Register 
a list of borrowers who are in default on a HEAL loan. FSA intends to 
publish the names of the defaulted borrowers, last known city and 
state, area of practice, and amount of HEAL loan in default. FSA 
intends to publish the additional information about the borrower, as 
well as the names, in order to correctly identify the person in default 
and to provide relevant information to the intended recipients of this 
information, such as State licensing boards and hospitals. 
Additionally, this information may be published on a Defaulted 
Borrowers Web site, should the Department elect to reestablish this, or 
a similar, Web site. The Department may do this in order to provide the 
information to the intended recipients in a timely and effective way.
    (19) Disclosure of Defaulted Debtors to Other Authorized Parties. 
In accordance with the directive in 42 U.S.C. 292h(c)(2), disclosure of 
borrowers who are in default on a HEAL loan may be made to relevant 
Federal agencies, schools, school associations, professional and 
specialty associations, State licensing boards, hospitals with which a 
HEAL loan defaulter may be

associated, or other similar organizations.

DISCLOSURE TO CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCIES:
    Disclosures pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(12) (as set forth in 31 
U.S.C. 3711(e)): Disclosures may be made from this system to ''consumer 
reporting agencies,'' as defined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 
U.S.C. 1681a(f)) or the Debt Collection Improvement Act (31 U.S.C. 
3701(a)(3)). The purpose of these disclosures is to provide an 
incentive for debtors to repay delinquent Federal Government debts by 
making these debts part of their credit records.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, 
AND DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
STORAGE:
    Records are maintained in database servers, file folders, CDs, 
DVDs, and magnetic tapes.

RETRIEVABILITY:
    Records are retrieved by SSN or other identifying number.

SAFEGUARDS:
    Authorized users: Access to the system is limited to authorized 
HEAL program personnel and contractors responsible for administering 
the HEAL program. Authorized personnel include ED employees and 
officials, financial and fiscal management personnel, computer 
personnel and program managers who have responsibilities for 
implementing the HEAL program. Read-only users: Read-only access is 
given to servicers, holders, and financial/fiscal management personnel.
    Physical safeguards: Magnetic tapes, disc packs, computer 
equipment, and other forms of personal data are stored in areas where 
fire and life safety codes are strictly enforced. All documents are 
protected during lunch hours and nonworking hours in locked file 
cabinets or locked storage areas. Security guards are staffed 24 hours 
a day, seven days a week, to perform random checks on the physical 
security of the records storage areas.
    Procedural safeguards: A password is required to access the 
terminal and a data set name controls the release of data to only 
authorized users. All users of personal information in connection with 
the performance of their jobs protect information from public view and 
from unauthorized personnel entering an unsupervised office. In 
addition, all sensitive data is encrypted using Oracle Transparent Data 
Encryption functionality. Access to records is strictly limited to 
those staff members trained in accordance with the Privacy Act and 
automatic data processing (ADP) security procedures. Contractors are 
required to maintain, and are also required to ensure that 
subcontractors maintain, confidentiality safeguards with respect to 
these records. Contractors and subcontractors are instructed to make no 
further disclosure of the records except as authorized by the System 
Manager and permitted by the Privacy Act. All individuals who have 
access to these records receive the appropriate ADP security 
clearances. ED personnel make site visits to ADP facilities for the 
purpose of ensuring that ADP security procedures continue to be met. 
Privacy Act and ADP system security requirements are specifically 
included in contracts. The HEAL program project directors, project 
officers, and the system manager oversee compliance with these 
requirements.
    Implementing guidelines: The safeguards described above were 
established in accordance with HHS Chapter 45-13 and supplementary 
Chapter PHS.hf: 45-13 of HHS' General Administration Manual.

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:
    In accordance with the Department's record retention and 
disposition schedule, records for HEAL program awards are retained for 
seven years after final payment or discharge of the loan, whichever is 
sooner, and thereafter destroyed.
