Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, HHS is altering an existing department-wide system of records, ``Records About Restricted Dataset Requesters,'' System Number 09-90-1401. This system of records covers records about individuals within and outside HHS who request restricted datasets and software products from HHS (e.g., for health-related scientific research and study purposes), when HHS maintains the requester records in a system from which they are retrieved directly by an individual requester's name or other personal identifier. The system of records currently covers records maintained by three HHS Operating Divisions. It is being altered to include records maintained by a fourth Operating Division, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and to include three revised and five new routine uses, some of which will apply to all records in the system and some of which will apply to only NIH's records. The alterations affect the System Locations, Legal Authorities, Purposes, Retention, System Manager, and Routine Uses sections of the System of Records Notice (SORN).
