{"database": "openregs", "table": "federal_register", "rows": [["E6-17058", "Privacy Act of 1974; Report of a Modified or Altered System of Records", "Notice", "In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, we are proposing to modify or alter an existing SOR, \"Person-Level Medicaid Data System (PMDS),\" System No. 09-70-0033, established at 49 Federal Register (FR) 47573 (December 5, 1984) and last modified at 65 FR 37792 (June 16, 2000). We propose to assign a new CMS identification number to this system to simplify the obsolete and confusing numbering system originally designed to identify the Bureau, Office, or Center that maintained information in the Health Care Financing Administration systems of records. The new assigned identifying number for this system should read: System No. 09-70-0507. We propose to modify existing routine use number 2 that permits disclosure to agency contractors and consultants to include disclosure to CMS grantees who perform a task for the agency. CMS grantees, charged with completing projects or activities that require CMS data to carry out that activity, are classified separate from CMS contractors and/or consultants. The modified routine use will be renumbered as routine use number 1. We will delete routine use number 3 authorizing disclosure to support constituent requests made to a congressional representative. If an authorization for the disclosure has been obtained from the data subject, then no routine use is needed. The Privacy Act allows for disclosures with the \"prior written consent\" of the data subject. We propose to broaden the scope of the disclosure provisions of this system by adding a routine use to permit the release of information to other Federal and State agencies to: (1) Contribute to the accuracy of CMS' proper payment of Medicare benefits; and (2) enable such agency to administer a Federal health benefits program, and/or as necessary to enable such agency to fulfill a requirement of a Federal statute or regulation that implements a health benefits program funded in whole or in part with Federal funds. We are modifying the language in the remaining routine uses to provide a proper explanation as to the need for the routine use and to provide clarity to CMS's intention to disclose individual-specific information contained in this system. The routine uses will then be prioritized and reordered according to their usage. We will also take the opportunity to update any sections of the system that were affected by the recent reorganization or because of the impact of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) (Pub. L 108-173) provisions and to update language in the administrative sections to correspond with language used in other CMS SORs. The primary purpose of this modified system is to collect and maintain individually-identifiable data to study Medicaid use and expenditures in order to increase CMS' understanding of the Medicaid and Medicare programs and to improve CMS' ability to conduct program evaluation, strengthen program management, evaluate policy alternatives, conduct and evaluate demonstration projects, and advise States in the area of Medicaid financing. The information retrieved from this system of records will also be disclosed to: (1) Support regulatory, reimbursement, and policy functions performed within the Agency or by a contractor, consultant, or grantee; (2) assist another Federal and/or State agency; (3) support an individual or organization for research, evaluation or epidemiological projects; and (4) support litigation involving the agency. We have provided background information about the modified system in the Supplementary Information section below. Although the Privacy Act requires only that CMS provide an opportunity for interested persons to comment on the modified or altered routine uses, CMS invites comments on all portions of this notice.
