Publication ID: Fall 2011

Title: Privacy Act; Exempt Record System
Abstract: The purpose of this proposed rule is to exempt the system of records for the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) from certain provisions of the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a). Currently the system of records for the Healthcare Integrity and Protection Data Bank (HIPDB) has an exemption from certain provisions of the Privacy Act. In order to maintain this exemption for the HIPDB materials, which are now under the NPDB due to implementation of section 1921 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396r-2), it is necessary to expand the same privacy act exemptions for the HIPDB to the NPDB.
