Privacy Act of 1974; proposed major alteration to existing system of records--PHS. Notification of proposed major alteration to an existing system of records: 09-30-0041.

In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act, the Public Health Service (PHS) is publishing a notice of a proposed altered system of records, to be renamed "Participants in Drug Abuse Research Studies Supporting New Drug Applications," HHS/ADAMHA/NIDA, in the Alcohol, Drug Abuse and Mental Health Administration (ADAMHA), national Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). The system is currently entitled "Subject-Participants in a Drug Abuse Research Study on Naltrexone." We propose to alter the existing system to incorporate a second study with a narcotic agonist, LAAM (levo-alpha-acetylmethadol), thus creating an umbrella system. PHS invites interested parties to submit comments on the proposed alteration on or before July 11, 1983. We are not proposing changes to the nature of the routine use for this system of records but are rewording it to accommodate the LAAM study. This technical revision, in and of itself, does not require a public comment period. Additional technical changes to accommodate the LAAM study also appear elsewhere in the system notice.
