    Records retained by FEHBP carriers on Federal subscribers and 
members of their families serve the carriers' own commercial function of 
paying health benefits claims and are not maintained to accomplish an 
agency function of OPM. Consequently, the records do not fall within the 
provisions of the Privacy Act. Nevertheless, OPM recognizes the need for 
carriers to keep certain records confidential. The clause at 1652.224-70 
shall be inserted in all FEHBP contracts.
