SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Memorandum 17-12 (M-17-12), Preparing for and Responding to a Breach of Personally Identifiable Information (January 3, 2017) requires Federal agencies to publish a routine use in its systems of records that authorizes disclosure of records that may reasonably be needed by a Federal agency or Federal entity in connection with the response and remedial efforts in the event of a breach. The proposed routine use permits SSA to disclose records that may reasonably be needed by another Federal agency or Federal entity in its efforts to respond and remediate a breach of personally identifiable information. Such a routine use will serve to protect the interests of the people whose information is at risk by allowing SSA to assist another Federal agency or Federal entity to take appropriate steps to facilitate a timely and effective response to a confirmed or suspected breach. It will also help SSA improve its ability to prevent, minimize, or remedy any harm that may result from a compromise of data maintained in SSA's systems of records. Such a use is in the best interest of both the individual whose record is at issue and the public.

To satisfy the routine use requirements in OMB M-17-12, SSA is adding the following routine use to our Privacy Act systems of records: [1]

To another Federal agency or Federal entity, when SSA determines that information from this system of records is reasonably necessary to assist the recipient agency or entity in:

(a) responding to a suspected or confirmed breach; or

(b) preventing, minimizing, or remedying the risk of harm to individuals, the recipient agency or entity (including its information systems, programs, and operations), the Federal Government, or national security, resulting from a suspected or confirmed breach.

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER

SSA will establish the new routine use listed above in the following systems of records:
