 Subpart D_Protection of Privacy and Access to Individual Records Under 
                         the Privacy Act of 1974
 
Sec. 16.51  Security of systems of records.

    (a) Each component shall establish administrative and physical 
controls to prevent unauthorized access to its systems of records, to 
prevent unauthorized disclosure of records, and to prevent physical 
damage to or destruction of records. The stringency of these controls 
shall correspond to the sensitivity of the records that the controls 
protect. At a minimum, each component's administrative and physical 
controls shall ensure that:
    (1) Records are protected from public view;
    (2) The area in which records are kept is supervised during business 
hours to prevent unauthorized persons from having access to them;
    (3) Records are inaccessible to unauthorized persons outside of 
business hours; and
    (4) Records are not disclosed to unauthorized persons or under 
unauthorized circumstances in either oral or written form.
    (b) Each component shall have procedures that restrict access to 
records to only those individuals within the Department who must have 
access to those records in order to perform their duties and that 
prevent inadvertent disclosure of records.
