detection and prevention systems, and
role-based access controls. Additional
safeguards will vary by program. All
records are protected from unauthorized
access through appropriate
administrative, operational, and
technical safeguards. These safeguards
include restricting access to authorized
personnel who have a ‘‘need to know’’
and using locked file cabinets and/or
locked offices or file rooms. Contractors

Exchange Act Rule 17a–5 (17 CFR
240.17a–5) to file with the Commission
the Facing Page, a Statement of Income
