This General Support System (GSS) is established by the National
Cancer Institute (NCI), Office of the Director (OD), Center for
Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology (CBIIT). The
NCI Local Network (LAN) General Support System (GSS) is
aligned as a Tier 1 GSS to fulfill the purpose mandated by the NIH
IT System Realignment; streamline reporting for the Federal
Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA) 2014 and
facilitate efficiency. This Tier 1 General Support System (GSS) does
not itself have a website or online application; however, the NCI
LAN GSS contains significant subcomponents (subsystems) which
are essential to achieving the mission of the National Cancer
Institute (NCI). These Tier 2, 3, and 4 subsystems have unique and
specific Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs); which may address
website(s); online applications; Personally Identifiable Information
(PII); applicability to Privacy Act System of Records Notice
(SORN) and the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) Information
Collection Request.

Question 9 Comment

Due to the scope of the NCI LAN GSS, it is not usable to list all
changes to the system within the format of this Privacy Impact
Assessment (PIA). However, all changes to the NCI Local Network
(LAN) GSS are managed within an established baseline system
configuration which adheres to federal standards and settings
10. Describe in further detail including configuration guidelines for desktops, firewalls, software,
any changes to the system
operating systems, environment, and other IT devices. NCI currently
that have occurred since the uses multiple repositories (e.g., JIRA, Collaborate) to maintain
last PIA.
Configuration Management artifacts and Collaborate to dynamically
generate and display real-time server information using SQL from
data. NCI uses a private implementation of ServiceNow to manage
all configuration change requests. The complete inventory of all
LAN systems, devices, and assets is maintained in various formats,
depending on the nature of the asset.

11. Describe the purpose of
the system.

Due to the scope and purpose of this General Support System, the
NIH Senior Official for Privacy requests that the final Privacy
Impact Assessment be withheld from publication on an external
website. The purpose of the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Local
Network (LAN) General Support System (GSS) is to provide
infrastructure, network services, and application hosting to support a
variety of cancer related research, education, and biomedical
initiatives. It is used to provide access and connectivity to NCI
computing devices and storage resources. Included within the NCI
LAN GSS authorization boundary are NCI Center for Biomedical
Informatics and Information Technology (CBIIT) supported servers,
end-user computers, network devices, and print services.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) leads the National Cancer
Program and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) efforts to
dramatically reduce the prevalence of cancer and improve the lives
of cancer patients and their families, through research into
prevention and cancer biology, the development of new
interventions, and the training and mentoring of new researchers.

Question 12 Comment

13. Provide an overview of
the system and describe the
information it will collect,
maintain (store), or share,
either permanently or

The National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Local Network (LAN)
General Support System (GSS) provides infrastructure, network
services, and application hosting to support a variety of cancer
related research, education, and biomedical initiatives. It is used to
provide access and connectivity to NCI computing devices and
storage resources. The NCI LAN GSS provides a range of
supporting and shared services that enable NCI stakeholders to
operate applications, manage directory services, manage software
development services, maintain knowledge platforms and enable
common communications tools (i.e. unified communications,
WebEx), security operations and monitoring services, but does not
directly own the data stored, collected or processed by these
applications. Included within the NCI LAN GSS authorization
boundary are NCI Center for Biomedical Informatics and
Information Technology (CBIIT) supported servers, end-user
computers, network devices, and print services.
Users log in to the various supported applications/systems on this
GSS using NIH Active Directory, which maintains its own unique
privacy impact assessment (PIA). The purpose of NIH Active
Directory is to authenticate and authorize all users and computers in
a Windows domain type network; assigning and enforcing
information security policies for all computers and installing or
updating software. NIH Active Directory collects unique user names
and passwords (user credentials) and stores them in an encrypted
