| 2016-29059 | Privacy Act of 1974; Notice To Establish an Exempt System of Records | Notice | In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) proposes to establish a new system of records, to be numbered and titled: SORN 09- 25-0225 "NIH Electronic Research Administration (eRA) Records, HHS/ NIH/OD/OER," which will be related to, but separate from, the system of records covered in SORN 09-25-0036 "NIH Extramural Awards and Chartered Advisory Committee (IMPAC II), Contract Information (DCIS), and Cooperative Agreement Information, HHS/NIH." The new system of records will cover records used by NIH throughout the research and development award lifecycle, from application to scientific peer review, post-award monitoring, and close-out. Elsewhere in today's Federal Register, NIH has published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) proposing to exempt confidential source- identifying material in the new system of records (i.e., material that would inappropriately reveal the identities of referees who provide letters of recommendation and peer reviewers who provide written evaluative input and recommendations to NIH about particular funding applications under an express promise by the government that their identities in association with the written work products they authored and provided to the government will be kept confidential) from certain requirements of the Privacy Act, specifically, from the provisions pertaining to providing an accounting of disclosures, access and amendment and notification. The exemptions and the promises of confidentiality are necessary to protect the integrity of NIH extramural peer review and award processes and ensure that NIH efforts to obtain accurate and objective assessments and evaluations of funding applications from referees and peer reviewers is not hindered. The exemptions will become effective when NIH publishes a Final Rule, which will not occur until the 60-day comment period provided in the NPRM has expired and any comments received on the NPRM (or on this System of Records Notice) have been addressed. | 2016-12-08 | 2016 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/12/08/2016-29059/privacy-act-of-1974-notice-to-establish-an-exempt-system-of-records | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-12-08/pdf/2016-29059.pdf | Health and Human Services Department; National Institutes of Health | 221,353 | In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) proposes to establish a new system of records, to be numbered and titled: SORN 09- 25-0225 "NIH Electronic Research Administration (eRA)... |
