Information Systems Security Program
Handbook.
4. Certification and Accreditation:
The Program’s electronic data systems
are certified under the auspices of
HRSA’s Office of Information
Technology Certification and
Accreditation system.
5. Physical Safeguards: All computer
equipment and files and hard copy files
are stored in areas where fire and life
safety codes are strictly enforced. All
automated and non-automated
documents are protected on a 24-hour
basis. Perimeter security includes
intrusion alarms, key/passcard/
combination controls, and receptionist
controlled area. Most hard copy files are
maintained in a file room used solely for
this purpose with access limited by
combination lock to authorized users
identified above. Computer files are
password protected and are accessible
only by use of computers which are
password protected.
6. Procedural Safeguards: A password
is required to access computer files. 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
area. All authorized users sign a
nondisclosure statement. All passwords,
keys and/or combinations are changed
when a person leaves or no longer has
authorized duties. Access to records is
limited to those authorized personnel
trained in accordance with the Privacy
Act and ADP security procedures. The
transmission of records is protected
using secure protocols. Individuals with
access to the system have User IDs and
passwords and must be granted access
to the system. External access to the
data requires two-factor authentication.
The contractor(s) shall maintain current
lists of authorized users. The safeguards
described above were established in
accordance with NIST 800–53 and OMB
Circular A–130 Appendix III.
RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:

Patient and donor records will be
retained indefinitely.

Department is committed to improving
its BAA processes and invites interested
persons to comment on the following
forms and instructions (hereinafter
‘‘Forms Package’’) for the (BAA)

Technology (S&T) BAA Web Site

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Interested

The DHS S&T Directorate issues RFIs
in accordance with Federal Acquisition
Regulation (FAR) 15.201(e) and accepts
responses to those RFIs from the public.
DHS S&T also issues BAAs in
accordance with FAR 6.102(d)(2)(i) and
FAR 35.016 and accepts white papers
and proposals from the public in
response to those BAAs. DHS S&T
evaluates white papers and proposals
received from the public in response to
a DHS S&T BAA using the evaluation
criteria specified in the BAA through a
peer or scientific review process in
accordance with FAR 35.016(d). White
paper evaluation determines those
research ideas that merit submission of
a full proposal, and proposal evaluation
determines those proposals that merit
selection for contract award.
Unclassified white papers and
proposals are typically collected via the
DHS S&T BAA secure Web site, while
classified white papers and proposals
must be submitted via proper classified
courier or classified mailing procedures
as described in the National Security
Program Operating Manual (NISPOM).
DHS is particularly interested in
comments that:
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Suggest ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
(4) Suggest ways to minimize the
burden of the data collection on those
who respond, including the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
