(1) The Authority may use and disclose information as appropriate for the work of the Authority, without further restriction, if the Authority or another entity has taken steps to de-identify the information pursuant to 45 CFR part 164.514(a) and (b).

(2) The Authority may assign a code or other means of record identification to allow the Authority to re-identify the de-identified information provided that:

(a) The code or other means of record identification is not derived from or related to information about the individual and cannot otherwise be translated to identify the individual; and,

(b) The Authority does not use or disclose the code or other means of record identification for any other purpose, and does not disclose the mechanism for re-identification.

(3) The Authority may use and disclose a limited data set if the Authority enters into a data use agreement with an entity requesting or providing the Authority with a limited data set subject to the requirements of 45 CFR part 164.514(e).

(a) The Authority may use and disclose a limited data set only for the purposes of research, public health, or health care operations. The Authority may use limited data set for its own activities or operations if the Authority has obtained a limited data set that is subject to a data use agreement.

(b) If the Authority knows of a pattern of activity or practice of a limited data set recipient that constitutes a material breach or violation of a data use agreement, the Authority shall take reasonable steps to cure the breach or end the violation. If such steps are unsuccessful, the Authority shall discontinue disclosure of information to the recipient and report the problem to the Secretary of DHHS.
