Privacy Act of 1974; Report of a New System of Records; Food and Drug Administration Commissioning of State and Local Officials

Resumen

In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974 (the Privacy Act) and the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA or the Agency) regulations for the protection of privacy, FDA is publishing notice of a Privacy Act system of records entitled, "FDA Commissioning of State and Local Officials, HHS/FDA/ORA" System No. 09-10-0022. FDA is deleting the System of Records Notice (SORN) for "FDA Credential Holder File, HHS/FDA/OC" System No. 09-10-0003, because the records covered by that SORN are now covered by this new SORN and by existing personnel records SORNs. The new system of records will contain information about State and local officials who have applied for an FDA commission that would allow them to assist FDA with its regulatory compliance and enforcement efforts. FDA will use the records in this system to assess qualifications of commissioning candidates, initiate background investigations, record the status of applications, and track the status of commissioned officials.
