Program Files and PSAonline Application System (18-06-03)
AGENCY: Office of Communications and Outreach, Department of Education.
ACTION: Notice of an altered system of records.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended
(Privacy Act), we publish this notice to amend the system of records
entitled ``Presidential Scholars Program Files and PSAonline
Application System'' (18-06-03) to reflect the fact that the general
support system for the
[[Page 61437]]
``PSAonline'' application system has changed from a contractor site to
the U.S. Department of Education's Network (EDNet). This change in the
host of the online system will increase the security of the information
contained in this system of records. More specifically, we are amending
the system of records, last published in the Federal Register on
December 3, 2003 (68 FR 67782), in the following ways: (1) By listing
the Office of Chief Information Officer as the central system location.
(2) By updating the sections on storage and safeguards to reflect
current retention and safety measures. (3) By adding an appendix
listing additional system locations.
DATES: The amendments in this notice are effective on October 24, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Introduction
The Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) requires the Department to publish
in the Federal Register this notice of an altered system of records
maintained by the Department. The Department's regulations implementing
the Privacy Act are contained in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
in 34 CFR part 5b.
The Privacy Act applies to information about individuals that
contains individually identifiable information that is 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.''
The Privacy Act requires each agency to publish a notice of new or
altered systems of records in the Federal Register. Each agency also
must submit reports to the Administrator of the Office of Information
and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the
Chair of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental
Affairs, and the Chair of the House Committee on Government Reform
whenever the agency publishes a new system of records or makes a
significant change to an established system of records. Minor changes
to an established system of records, such as the amendments to the
Presidential Scholars Program Files and PSAonline Application System,
do not require an agency to prepare a report.
