Statement of General Routine Uses

    The following general routine uses are incorporated by reference 
into each system of records set forth herein, unless specifically 
limited in the system description.
    1. A record may be disclosed as a routine use to a Member of 
Congress or his or her staff, when the Member of Congress or his or her 
staff requests the information on behalf of, and at the request of, the 
individual who is the subject of the record.
    2. A record may be disclosed as a routine use to designated 
officers and employees of other agencies and departments of the Federal 
government having an interest in the subject individual for employment 
purposes (including the hiring or retention of any employee; the 
issuance of a security clearance; the letting of a contract; or the 
issuance of a license, grant, or other benefits by the requesting 
agency) to the extent that the information is relevant and necessary to 
the requesting agency's decision on the matter involved.
    3. In the event that a record in a system of records maintained by 
IMLS indicates, either by itself or in combination with other 
information in IMLS' possession, a violation or potential violation of 
the law (whether civil, criminal, or regulatory in nature, and whether 
arising by statute or by regulation, rule, or order issued pursuant 
thereto), that record may be referred, as a routine use, to the 
appropriate agency, whether Federal, State, local, or foreign, charged 
with investigating or prosecuting such violation, or charged with 
enforcing or implementing the statue, rule, regulation, or order issued 
pursuant

[[Page 19789]]

thereto. Such referral shall be deemed to authorize: (1) Any and all 
appropriate and necessary uses of such records in a court of law or

interagency referrals as may be necessary to carry out the receiving 
agencies' assigned law enforcement duties.

routine use to the Office of Child Support Enforcement, Administration 
for Children and Families, Department of Health and Human Services, as

recipient of federal funds when the record to be released reflects 
serious inadequacies with the recipient's personnel, and disclosure of 
the record is for the purpose of permitting the recipient to effect 
corrective action in the government's best interest.
    10. A record may be disclosed to a contractor, grantee, or other
