General Prefatory Statement
The following routine uses apply to and are incorporated by
reference into each system of records published below unless the text
of a particular notice of a system of records indicates otherwise.
These routine uses do not apply to DOL/OASAM-5, Rehabilitation and
Counseling File, nor to DOL/OASAM-7, Employee Medical Records.
1. It shall be a routine use of the records in this system of
records to disclose them to the Department of Justice when: (a) The
agency or any component thereof; or (b) any employee of the agency in
his or her official capacity where the Department of Justice has
agreed to represent the employee; or (c) the United States
Government, is a party to litigation or has an interest in such
litigation, and by careful review, the agency determines that the
records are both relevant and necessary to the litigation and the use
of such records by the Department of Justice is therefore deemed by
the agency to be for a purpose that is compatible with the purpose
for which the agency collected the records.
2. It shall be a routine use of the records in this system of
records to disclose them in a proceeding before a court or
adjudicative body, when: (a) The agency or any component thereof; or
(b) any employee of the agency in his or her official capacity; or
(c) any employee of the agency in his or her individual capacity
where the agency has agreed to represent the employee; or (d) the
United States Government, is a party to litigation or has an interest
in such litigation, and by careful review, the agency determines that
the records are both relevant and necessary to the litigation and the
use of such records is therefore deemed by the agency to be for a
purpose that is compatible with the purpose for which the agency
collected the records.
3. When a record on its face, or in conjunction with other
records, indicates a violation or potential violation of law, whether
civil, criminal or regulatory in nature, and whether arising by
general statute or particular program statute, or by regulation,
rule, or order issued pursuant thereto, disclosure may be made to the
appropriate agency, whether Federal, foreign, State, local, or
tribal, or other public authority responsible for enforcing,
investigating or prosecuting such violation or charged with enforcing
or implementing the statute, or rule, regulation, or order issued
pursuant thereto, if the information disclosed is relevant to any
enforcement, regulatory, investigative or prosecutive responsibility
of the receiving entity, and by careful review, the agency determines
that the records are both relevant and necessary to the litigation
and the use of such records is therefore deemed by the agency to be
for a purpose that is compatible with the purpose for which the
agency collected the records.
4. A record from this system of records may be disclosed to a
Member of Congress or to a Congressional staff member in response to
an inquiry of the Congressional office made at the written request of
the constituent about whom the record is maintained.

contract, service, grant, cooperative agreement or other activity
related to this system of records and who need to have access to the
records in order to perform the activity. Recipients shall be
required to comply with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974,
as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a; see also 5 U.S.C. 552a(m).
7. The name and current address of an individual may be disclosed

Department of HHS or to other authorized persons defined by Pub. L.
93-647 for the purpose of locating a parent who is not paying
required child support.
8. Disclosure may be made to any source from which information is
requested in the course of a law enforcement or grievance
investigation, or in the course of an investigation concerning
retention of an employee or other personnel action, the retention of
a security clearance, the letting of a contract, the retention of a
grant, or the retention of any other benefit, to the extent necessary
to identify the individual, inform the source of the purpose(s) of
the request, and identify the type of information requested.
9. Disclosure may be made to a Federal, State, local, foreign, or
tribal or other public authority of the fact that this system of
records contains information relevant to the hiring or retention of
an employee, the granting or retention of a security clearance, the
letting of a contract, a suspension or debarment determination or the

Government-Wide Records
Two systems of records are reported by the Department of Labor
for all federal agencies since this Department has overall
responsibility for the administration of the programs in connection
with which these systems of records have been compiled. It is
presumed that most, if not all federal agencies maintain systems of
records comprising a portion of the government wide systems of
records. In order to avoid duplication in reporting, the Department
is reporting these systems on behalf of all agencies. The Department
has control over these systems to the same extent as the Office of
Personnel Management has control over systems of records containing
federal employee personnel records.
1. Federal Employees' Compensation Act Files: All records
relating to injury or death of civilian employees or other persons
entitled to benefits under the Federal Employees' Compensation Act
are the records of the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs of
the Department of Labor. The Office asserts control of these records
under the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 8149 and Department regulations at
20 CFR 10.10. This notice applies to copies of claim forms and other
documents relating to a compensation claim maintained by the
employing agency. This notice, however, does not apply to other
medical or related files not created pursuant to the Federal
Employees' Compensation Act which may be in the possession of an
agency. This system is now entitled DOL/GOVT-1, Office of Workers'
Compensation Programs, Federal Employees' Compensation File (formerly
known as DOL/ESA-13).
Initial determinations on requests for access, amendment or
correction of records maintained in this system of records shall be
made by the OWCP district office having jurisdiction over the
particular claim. In addition, requests for access to copies of
records maintained by the employing agency may be directed to that
agency. Administrative appeals from initial determinations denying
access, amendment or correction, shall be addressed to the Solicitor
of Labor, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW,
Washington, DC 20210, as required by 20 CFR 70.9.
2. Job Corps Student Records: All records which contain
information about students during their stay in Job Corps, from
entrance to placement and/or termination, are records which must be
maintained by the Job Corps center. The Office of Employment and
Training Administration asserts control of these records under 29
U.S.C. 1691 et. seq. This system is now entitled DOL/GOVT-2, Job
Corps Student Records (formerly known as DOL/ETA-14.)
Initial determinations concerning access, amendment or correction
of this government-wide system of records shall be made by screening
contractors, Job Corps Center Directors, Job Corps National or
Regional Offices. Administrative appeals shall be referred to the
Solicitor of Labor, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution
Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20210.
Special California Earthquake Co-operative Agreement
The San Francisco, California Regional Office of the Department
of Labor's Office of Assistant Secretary for Administration and
Management (OASAM), Region IX of OASAM, has entered into a reciprocal
agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service's Office of the
Regional Counsel located in San Francisco. The purpose of this
reciprocal agreement is to provide each with an alternative off-site
location to store computer data. This back-up storage capacity will
mitigate damage if an earthquake ever occurs in the San Francisco
area. This agreement is based upon the fact that the respective
offices of the participants are located at opposite ends of the
downtown San Francisco district and the ground structure of the two
areas is substantially different.
Addresses to Which Requests May Be Directed
The addresses of the various component units of the Department as
well as its field offices are contained in Appendix 1 annexed to this
document. For general assistance, you may wish to contact the Privacy
Act Coordinators listed in Appendix 2.
In addition, the following government agencies also have

Government-Wide Systems by the Department of Labor
DOL/GOVT-1
System name: Office of Workers' Compensation Programs, Federal
Employees' Compensation Act File.
Security classification:
Most files and data are unclassified. Files and data in certain
cases have Top Secret classification, but the rules concerning their
maintenance and disclosure are determined by the agency which has
given the information the security classification of Top Secret.
System location:
Central database is located at Computer Science Corporation,
11700 Montgomery road, Beltsville, Maryland, 20706. Case files and
local databases are located at District Offices (see appendix 1 for
addresses of those offices and responsible officials); files of
employees of the Central Intelligence Agency are located at that
agency. Copies of claim forms and other documents relating to a
compensation claim may also be maintained by the employing agency. In
addition, the records relating to third-party claims of FECA
beneficiaries are maintained in the Division of Employee Benefits,
U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Ave., NW, Washington, DC
20210, and the Office of the Regional Solicitor and Associate
Regional Solicitor at various field locations.
Categories of individuals covered by the system:
Individuals or their survivors who claim benefits under the FECA
for injuries or death sustained while in the performance of duty,
including local law enforcement officers and their survivors who
claim benefits under the FECA. The FECA covers all federal employees
and certain other individuals as defined. Individuals in addition to
federal employees who are covered include: Civil Air Patrol, Peace
Corps Volunteers, Job Corps enrolles, Volunteers in Service to
America, members of the National Teacher Corps, certain student
employees, certain employees of the Alaska Railroad, members of the
Reserve Officer Training Corps, certain state and local law
enforcement officers (in addition to those employed by the United
States), certain former prisoners of war, and employees of certain
commissions and other agencies. Prior to January 1, 1957, the FECA
also covered reservists in the Armed Forces of the Unite States. Also
covered are various classes of persons who provide or have provided
personal service to the Government of the United States and certain
volunteers with other government agencies.
Categories of records in the system:
Records include reports of injury by the employee and employing
establishment, claims by survivors for benefits accruing at the death
of a federal employee or other covered individual, authorization for
medical treatment, medical records, medical and transportation bills,
compensation payment records, formal orders for or against payment of
compensation, transcripts of informal hearings, any and all medical,
employment and personal information submitted or gathered in
connection with the claim, including vital statistics such as birth,
death and marriage certificates, notes on telephone conversations
held in connection with the claim, and information related to
vocational rehabilitation plans and progress reports. Records may
also include court records, insurance records, records of employers,
articles from publications, published financial data, corporate
information, bank information, and information received from various
investigative and law enforcement agencies who report findings to
OWCP relating to investigations concerning possible violations of
federal civil and criminal law relating to the compensation claim.
This system contains the work product of the Department of Labor and
other government personnel and consultants involved in the
development of the claim.
The system may also contain consumer credit reports of
individuals indebted to the United States, correspondence to and from
the debtor, information or records relating to the debtor's current
whereabouts, assets, liabilities, income and expenses, debtor's
personal financial statements, and other information such as the
nature, amount and history of a debt owed by an individual covered by
this system, and other records and reports relating to the
implementation of the Debt Collection Act of 1982, including any
investigative reports or administrative review matters. The
individual records listed herein are included only as pertinent or
applicable to the individual employee or beneficiary.
Authority for maintenance of the system:
5 U.S.C. 8101 et seq., 20 CFR 1.1, et seq.
Purpose(s):
The Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) establishes the
workers' compensation system for federal employees, including a
process for adjudicating and administering compensation claims. The
records maintained under this system are created as a result of and
are necessary to this function. These records provide information and
verification about claimant's work related injuries on which may be
based any entitlement to medical treatment and vocational
rehabilitation, continuation of pay, compensation and survivors'
benefits, under the FECA and certain other statutes.
Routine uses of records maintained in the system, including
categories of users and the purpose of such uses:
In addition to the Labor Department-wide routine uses set forth
in the general prefatory statement, disclosure of relevant documents
may be made to the following individuals and entities for the
purposes noted:
a. Any third-party named in a claim or responsible for the injury
or representative acting on his/her behalf until the third-party
action is adjudicated and all appeals are resolved, for the purpose
of pursuing that third-party action.
b. Federal agencies which employed the claimant at the time of
the occurrence or recurrence of the injury or occupational illness
(or to a duly designated contractor performing services for that
agency) in order to verify billing, to answer questions about the
status of the claim, to consider rehire, retention or other actions
the agency may be required to take with regard to the claim.
c. To other Federal agencies, other government entities and to
private-sector employers as part of rehabilitation and other return-
to-work programs and services available through the Office of
Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP), where the entity is
considering hiring the claimant or where otherwise necessary as part
of that return-to-work effort.
d. Federal, state or private rehabilitation agencies and
individuals to whom the claimant has been referred for evaluation of
rehabilitation and possible reemployment.
e. Physicians and other health care providers for their use in
treating the claimant and/or making an evaluation on behalf of OWCP
(including payment of charges and other matters related to that
evaluation) and for other purposes relating to the medical management
of the claim.
f. To medical insurance or health and welfare plans (or their
designees) which cover the claimant in instances where by OWCP had
paid for treatment of a medical condition which is not compensable
under the FECA, or where a medical insurance plan or health and
welfare plan has paid for treatment of a medical condition which may
be compensable under the FECA.
g. Labor unions and other voluntary employee associations of
which the claimant is a member for assistance with claims processing
and adjudication and other services provided to members.
h. To a Federal, state or local agency for the purpose of
obtaining information relevant to a Departmental decision concerning
the determination of initial or continuing eligibility for program
benefits; whether benefits have been or are being paid improperly,
including whether dual benefits prohibited under any Federal or state
statute are being paid; salary offset and debt collection procedures,
including those actions required by the Debt Collection Act of 1982.
i. To the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the purpose of
obtaining taxpayer mailing addresses in order to locate such taxpayer
to collect, compromise, or write-off a Federal claim against the
taxpayer; and informing the IRS of the discharge of a debt owed by an
individual. Records from this system of record may be disclosed to
the Internal Revenue Service for the purpose of offsetting a Federal
claim from any income tax refund that may be due to the debtor.
j. To the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
since OSHA uses OWCP injury reports to fulfill federal agency injury
reporting requirements (under agreement between OWCP and OSHA).
Information on these reports from this system may be used by them as
part of any MIS system established under OSHA regulations to monitor
health and safety.
k. To a credit bureau for the purpose of obtaining consumer
credit reports identifying the assets, liabilities, expenses, and
income of a debtor in order to ascertain the debtor's ability to pay
a debt and in order to be able to establish a payment schedule.
l. The claimant's employing agency may disclose information
contained in this system of records, of which it has custody, to
contractors for the purpose of evaluating the employing agency's
implementation of the FECA and the agency's safety program. Should
the employing agency disclose such information to a contractor, it is
the employing agency's responsibility to assure that the contractor
complies fully with all Privacy Act provisions, including those
prohibiting unlawful disclosure of such information.
m. To contractors providing automated data processing or other
services to DOL, the employing agency or to any Federal agency or
other entity to whom the data may be released under any of the uses
listed above, who require the data to perform the services for which
they have appropriately contracted. It is the agency's responsibility
to ensure that any contract extends the responsibilities and
penalties of the Privacy Act to the contractor.
n. Records from this system of records may be disclosed to the
Defense Manpower Data Center--Department of Defense and the United
States Postal Service to conduct computer matching programs for the
purpose of identifying and locating individuals who are receiving
Federal salaries or benefit payments and are delinquent in their
repayment of debts owed to the United States Government under certain
programs administered by the United States Department of Labor in
order to collect the debts under the provisions of the Debt
Collection Act of 1982 (Pub. L. 97-365) by voluntary repayment, or by
salary or administrative offset procedures.
Note: Disclosure of information contained in the file to the
claimant, a person who is duly authorized to act on his/her behalf,
or to others to whom disclosure is authorized by these routine uses,
may be made over the telephone. Disclosure over the telephone will
only be done where the requestor provides appropriate identifying
information. Telephonic disclosure of information is essential to
permit efficient administration and adjudication of claims under the
FECA.
Disclosure to consumer reporting agencies:
The amount, status and history of overdue debts, the name and

Until 1987 they were gathered by the CPS through a supplement and
then elaborated by USDA's Economic Research Service (ERS). In 1987,
the responsibility to carry out this national survey was taken over
by the OASP/DOL, initially to accomplish the mandate of the
Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 to measure the supply of
the farm labor during fiscal years 1990 through 1993. Along with the
task of carrying out the labor supply estimate assigned to OASP came
the responsibility and the associated resources of the traditional

Investigatory portion of system exempted from certain provisions
of the act: In accordance with paragraph 3(k)(2) of the Privacy Act,
investigatory material compiled for civil law enforcement purposes,
which is maintained in this system's files of the Office of Workers'
Compensation Programs of the Employment Standards Administration, is
exempt from paragraphs (c)(3), (d),(e)(1),(e)(4) (G), (H), and (I),
and paragraph (f) of 5 U.S.C. 552a. The disclosure of civil
investigatory information, if any, contained in this system's files,
including the names of persons and agencies to whom the information
has been transmitted, would substantially compromise the
effectiveness of investigations. Knowledge of such investigations
would enable subjects to take such action as is necessary to prevent
detection of illegal activities, conceal evidence, or otherwise
escape civil enforcement action. Disclosure of this information could
lead to the intimidation of, or harm to informants, witnesses, and
their respective families, and in addition, could jeopardize the

Systems exempted from certain provisions of the act:
The Secretary of Labor has promulgated regulations which exempt
information contained in this system of records from various
provisions of the Privacy Act depending upon the purpose for which
the information was gathered and for which it will be used. The
various law enforcement purposes and the reasons for the exemptions
are as follow:
(a) Criminal Law Enforcement: In accordance with 5 U.S.C.
552a(j)(2) information compiled for this purpose is exempt from all
of the provisions of the Act except the following sections: (b),
(c)(1) and (2), (e)(4)(A) through (F), (e)(6), (7), (9), (10), and
(11), and (i). This material is exempt because the disclosure and
other requirements of the Act would substantially compromise the
efficacy and integrity of OIG operations in a number of ways. Indeed,
disclosure of even the existence of these files would be problematic.
Disclosure could enable suspects to take action to prevent detection
of criminal activities, conceal evidence, or escape prosecution.
Required disclosure of information contained in this system could
lead to the intimidation of, or harm to, informants, witnesses and
their respective families or OIG personnel and their families.
Disclosure could invade the privacy of individuals other than
subjects and disclose their identity when confidentiality was
promised or impliedly promised to them. Disclosure could interfere
with the integrity of information which would otherwise be
privileged, (see, e.g., 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(5)), and which could
interfere with other important law enforcement concerns: (see, e.g.,
5 U.S.C. 552 (b)(7)).
The requirement that only relevant and necessary information be
included in a criminal investigative file is contrary to
investigative practice which requires a full and complete inquiry and
exhaustion of all potential sources of information. See, 5 U.S.C.
552a(e)(1).
Similarly, maintaining only those records which are accurate,
relevant, timely and complete and which assure fairness in a
determination is contrary to established investigative techniques.
See, 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(5). Requiring investigators to obtain
information to the greatest extent practicable directly from the
subject individual would be counterproductive to performance of
clandestine criminal investigation. See, 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(2).
Finally, providing notice to an individual interviewed of the
authority of the interviewer, the purpose to which the information
provided may be used, the routine uses of that information and the
effect upon the individual should he/she choose not to provide the
information sought could discourage the free flow of information in a
criminal law enforcement inquiry. 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(3).
(b) Other Law Enforcement: In accordance with 5 U.S.C.
552a(k)(2), investigatory material compiled for law enforcement
purposes (to the extent it is not already exempted by 5 U.S.C.
552a(j)(2)), is exempted from the following provisions of the Act:
(c)(3), (d), (e)(1), (e)(4)(G), (H) and (I), and (f). This material
is exempt because the disclosure and other requirements of the Act
could substantially compromise the efficacy and integrity of OIG
operations. Disclosure could invade the privacy of other individuals
and disclose their identity when they were expressly promised
confidentiality. Disclosure could interfere with the integrity of
information which would otherwise be subject to privileges, see,
e.g., 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(5), and which could interfere with other
important law enforcement concerns. See, e.g., 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(7).
(c) Protective Services: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(k)(3)
investigatory material maintained in connection with assisting the
U.S. Secret Service to provide protective services to the President
of the United States or other individuals pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 3056
is exempt from the following sections of the Act: (c)(3), (d),
(e)(1), (e)(4)(G), (H) and (I), and (f). This material is exempt in
order to enable the OIG to continue its support of the Secret Service
without compromising the effectiveness of either agency's activities.
(d) Contract Investigations: In accordance with 5 U.S.C.
552a(k)(5), investigatory material compiled solely for the purpose of
determining integrity, suitability, eligibility, qualifications, or
employment for a DOL contract is exempt from the following sections
of the Act: (c)(3), (d), (e)(1), (e)(4)(G), (H), (I) and (f). This
exemption was obtained in order to protect from disclosure the
identity of a confidential source when an express promise of
confidentiality has been given in order to obtain information from
sources who would otherwise be unwilling to provide necessary
information. See 29 CFR 70a.13(b)(iv).

System manager(s) and address:
Assistant Inspector General for the Office of Labor Racketeering
and Assistant Inspector General for Investigations, OIG/DOL, 200
Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20210.
Notification procedure:
Inquiries concerning this system can be directed to: Disclosure
Officer, OIG, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20210.

her by mailing a request to the Disclosure Officer listed above under
``Notification Procedure'' See 29 CFR 70a.4 and .5.

Systems exempted from certain provisions of the act:
The Secretary of Labor has promulgated regulations which exempt
information contained in this system of records from various
provisions of the Privacy Act depending upon the purpose for which
the information was gathered and for which it will be used. The
various law enforcement purposes and the reasons for the exemptions
are as follow:
(a) Criminal Law Enforcement: Information compiled for this
purpose is exempt from all of the provisions of the Act except the
following sections: (b), (c)(1) and (2), (e)(4)(A) through (F),
(e)(6), (7), (9), (10), and (11), and (i). This material is exempt
because the disclosure and other requirements of the Act would
substantially compromise the efficacy and integrity of OIG operations
in a number of ways. Indeed, disclosure of even the existence of
these files would be problematic.
Disclosure could enable suspects to take action to prevent
detection of criminal activities, conceal evidence, or escape
prosecution. Required disclosure of information contained in this
system could lead to the intimidation of, or harm to, informants,
witnesses and their respective families or OIG personnel and their
families.
Disclosure could invade the privacy of individuals other than
subjects and disclose their identity when confidentiality was
promised to them. Disclosures from these files could interfere with
the integrity of other information which would otherwise be
privileged, see, e.g., 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(5) and which could interfere
with other important law enforcement concerns, see, e.g., 5 U.S.C.
552(b)(7).
The requirement that only relevant and necessary information be
included in a criminal investigative file is contrary to good
investigative practices which require a full and complete inquiry and
exhaustion of all potential sources of information. 5 U.S.C.
552a(e)(1). Similarly, maintaining only those records which are
accurate, relevant, timely and complete and which assure fairness in
a determination is contrary to established investigative techniques.
5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(5). Requiring investigators to obtain information to
the greatest extent practicable directly from the subject individual
would be counterproductive to performance of a clandestine criminal
investigation. 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(2). Finally, providing notice to an
individual interviewed of the authority of the interviewer, the
purpose to which the information provided may be used, the routine
uses of that information and the effect upon the individual should he
choose not to provide the information sought could discourage the
free flow of information in a criminal law enforcement inquiry. 5
U.S.C. 552a(e)(3).
(b) Other Law Enforcement: In accordance with 5 U.S.C.
552a(k)(2), investigatory material compiled for law enforcement
purposes (to the extent it is not already exempted by 5 U.S.C.
552a(j)(2)), is exempted from the following provisions of the Act:
(c)(3), (d), (e)(1), (e)(4)(G), (H), (I) and (f). This material is
exempt because the disclosure and other requirements of the act could
substantially compromise the efficacy and integrity of OIG
operations. Disclosure could invade the privacy of other individuals
and disclose their identity when they were expressly promised
confidentiality.
Disclosure could interfere with the integrity of information
which would otherwise be subject to privileges, see, e.g., 5 U.S.C.
552(b)(5), and which could interfere with other important law
enforcement concerns. See, e.g., 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(7).

System manager(s) and address:
Assistant Inspector General for Investigations, Assistant
Inspector General for Audit and Assistant Inspector General for Labor
Racketeering, Assistant Inspector General, Office of Resource
Management and Legislative Assessment, Office of Inspector General,
200 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20210.
Record source categories:
Official personnel folders; other personnel documents, activity
supervisors, audit/investigation report standard forms.
System exempted from certain provisions of the act:
The Secretary of Labor has promulgated regulations which exempt
information contained in this system of records from various
provisions of the Privacy Act depending upon the purpose for which
the information was gathered and for which it will be used.
The various law enforcement purposes and the reasons for the
exemptions are as follow:
(a) Criminal Law Enforcement: Information compiled for this
purpose is exempt from all of the provisions of the Act except the
following sections: (b), (c)(1) and (2), (e) (4)(A) through (F),
(e)(6), (7), (9), (10), and (11), and (i). This material is exempt
because the disclosure and other requirements of the Act would
substantially compromise the efficacy and integrity of OIG operations
in a number of ways. Indeed, disclosure of even the existence of
these files would be problematic. Disclosure could enable suspects to
take action to prevent detection of criminal activities, conceal
evidence, or escape prosecution.
Required disclosure of information contained in this system could
lead to the intimidation of, or harm to, informants, witnesses and
their respective families or OIG personnel and their families.
Disclosure could invade the privacy of individuals other than
subjects and disclose their identity when confidentiality was
promised to them. Disclosures from these files could interfere with
the integrity of other information which would otherwise be
privileged, see, e.g., 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(5), and which could interfere
with other important law enforcement concerns, see, e.g., 5 U.S.C.
552(b)(7).
The requirement that only relevant and necessary information be
included in a criminal investigative file is contrary to good
investigative practices which require a full and complete inquiry and
exhaustion of all potential sources of information. 5 U.S.C.
552a(e)(1). Similarly, maintaining only those records which are
accurate, relevant, timely and complete and which assure fairness in
a determination is contrary to established investigative techniques.
5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(5). Requiring investigators to obtain
information to the greatest extent practicable directly from the
subject individual would be counterproductive to performance of a
clandestine criminal investigation. 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(2). Finally
providing notice to an individual interviewed of: the authority of
the interviewer, the purpose to which the information provided may be
used, the routine uses of that information and the effect upon the
individual should he choose not to provide the information sought
could discourage the free flow of information in a criminal law
enforcement inquiry. 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(3).
(b) Other Law Enforcement: In accordance with 5 U.S.C.
552a(k)(2), investigatory material compiled for law enforcement
purposes (to the extent it is not already exempted by 5 U.S.C.
552a(j)(2)), is exempted from the following provisions of the Act:
(c)(3), (d), (e)(1), (e)(4)(G), (H), and (I), and (f). This material
is exempt because the disclosure and other requirements of the Act
could substantially compromise the efficacy and integrity of OIG
operations. Disclosure could invade the privacy of other individuals
and disclose their identity when they were expressly promised
confidentiality. Disclosure could interfere with the integrity of
information which would otherwise be subject to privileges, see,
e.g., 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(5), and which could interfere with other
important law enforcement concerns. See, e.g., 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(7).
(c) Protective Services: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(3)
investigatory material maintained in connection with assisting the
U.S. Secret Service to provide protective services to the President
of the United States or other individuals pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 3056
is exempt from the following section of the Act: (c)(3), (d), (e)(1),
(e)(4)(G), (H), and (I), and (f). This material is exempt in order to
enable the OIG to continue its support of the Secret Service without
compromising the effectiveness of either agency's activities.
(d) Contract Investigations: In accordance with 5 U.S.C.
552a(k)(5), investigatory material compiled solely for the purpose of
determining integrity, suitability, eligibility, or qualifications
for a DOL contract is exempt from the following sections of the Act:
(c)(3), (d), (e)(1), (e)(4)(G), (H), and (I) and (f). This exemption
was obtained in order to protect from disclosure the identity of a
confidential source when an express promise of confidentiality has
been given in order to obtain information from sources who would
otherwise be unwilling to provide necessary information. See 29 CFR
70a.13(b)(2)(iv).

Subpart A--General
Sec. 71.1 General provisions.
(a) Purpose and scope. This part contains the regulations of the U.S.
Department of Labor implementing the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a.
The regulations apply to all records which are contained in systems of
records maintained by, or under the control of, the Department of Labor
and which are retrieved by an individual's name or personal identifier.
These regulations set forth the procedures by which an individual may
seek access under the Privacy Act to records pertaining to him, may
request correction or amendment of such records, or may seek an
accounting of disclosures of such records by the Department. These
regulations are applicable to each component of the Department.
(b) Government-wide systems of records. (1) DOL/GOVT-1 (Office of
Workers' Compensation Programs, Federal Employees' Compensation Act
File):
(i) All records, including claim forms, medical, investigative and
other reports, statements of witnesses, and other papers relating to
claims for compensation filed under the Federal Employees' Compensation
Act (as amended and extended), are covered by the government-wide system
of records entitled DOL/GOVT-1. This system is maintained by and under
the control of the Employment Standards Administration's Office of
Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP), and, as such, all records
contained in the OWCP claims file, as well as all copies of such
documents retained and/or maintained by the injured worker's employing
agency, are official records of the OWCP.
(ii) The protection, release, inspection and copying of records
covered by DOL/GOVT-1 shall be accomplished in accordance with the
rules, guidelines and provisions of this part, as well as with part 70
of this subtitle, and with the notice of the systems of records and
routine uses published in the Federal Register. All questions relating
to access/disclosure, and/or the amendment of FECA records maintained by
the OWCP or an employing agency, are to be resolved in accordance with
this part.
(iii)(A) While an employing agency may establish procedures that an
injured employee or beneficiary should follow in requesting access to
documents it maintains, any decision issued in response to such a
request must comply with the rules and regulations of the Department of
Labor.
(B) Any administrative appeal taken from a denial issued by the
employing agency shall be filed with the Solicitor of Labor in
accordance with Secs. 71.7 and 71.9 of this part.
(iv) No agency other than the OWCP has authority to issue
determinations in response to requests for the correction or amendment
of records contained in or covered by DOL/GOVT-1. Any request for
correction or amendment received by an employing agency must be referred
to the OWCP for review and decision.
(2) For the government-wide system of records entitled DOL/GOVT-2 (Job
Corps Student Records), a system maintained by and under the control of
the Employment and Training Administration, the regulations of this
Department shall govern, including the procedure for requesting access
to, or amendment of the records, as well as appeals therefrom, shall
govern.
(c) Definitions. As used in this subpart, the following terms shall
have the following meanings:
(1) Agency has the meaning set forth in 5 U.S.C. 552(f).
(2) Component means each separate agency, bureau, office, board,
division, commission, service, or administration of the Department of
Labor, as well as each agency which possesses records covered by a DOL
government-wide system of records.
(3) Individual Data Subject means the individual by whose name or
identifier the subject record is retrieved.
(4) Record means any item, collection, or grouping of information
about an individual which is maintained by any component within a system
of records and which contains the individual's name, identifying number,
symbol, or other identifying particular assigned to the individual, such
as a fingerprint, voiceprint, or photograph.
(5) Requester means an individual who makes either a request for
access, a request for correction or amendment, or a request for an
accounting.
(6) Routine use has the meaning set forth in 5 U.S.C. 552a(7).
(7) Statistical record has the meaning set forth in 5 U.S.C. 552a(6).
(8) System of records means a group of any records under the control
of the Department or any component from which information is retrieved
by the name of an individual or by some identifying number, symbol, or
other identifying particular assigned to that individual.
(9) Under the control of means those official records for which the
agency is officially responsible and either has in its possession or
exercises dominion over. This excludes those records which, although in
the physical possession of agency employees and used by them in
performing official functions, are not, in fact, agency records.
Uncirculated personal notes, papers and records which are retained or
discarded at the author's discretion and over which the agency exercises
no dominion or control (e.g., personal telephone list) are not agency
records for purposes of this part.
(10) He, his, and him include ``she'', ``hers'' and ``her''.
Sec. 71.2 Requests for access to records.
(a) Procedure for making requests for access to records. An
individual, or legal representative acting on his behalf, may request
access to a record about himself by appearing in person or by writing to
the component that maintains the record. (See appendix A to this part
which lists the components of the Department of Labor and their
addresses.) A requester in need of guidance in defining his request may
write to the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management, U.S.
Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20210-
0002. A request should be addressed to the component that maintains the
requested record. Both the envelope and the request itself should be
marked: ``Privacy Act Request.''
(b) Description of records sought. A request for access to records
must describe the records sought in sufficient detail to enable
Department personnel to locate the system of records containing the
record with a reasonable amount of effort. Whenever possible, a request
for access should describe the nature of the record sought, the date of
the record or the period in which the record was compiled, and the name
or identifying number of the system of records in which the requester
believes the record is kept.
(c) Agreement to pay fees. The filing of a request for access to a
record under this subpart shall be deemed to constitute an agreement to
pay all applicable fees charged under Sec. 71.6 up to $25.00. The
component responsible for responding to the request shall confirm this
agreement in its letter of acknowledgment to the requester. When filing
a request, a requester may specify a willingness to pay a greater
amount, if applicable.
(d) Verification of identity. Any individual who submits a request for
access to records must verify his identity in one of the following ways:
(1) Any requester making a request in writing must state in his
request his full name, and current address. In addition, a requester
must provide with his request an example of his signature, which shall
be notarized, or signed as an unsworn declaration under penalty of
perjury, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1746. In order to facilitate the
identification of the requested records, a requester may also include in
his request his Social Security number.
(2) Any requester submitting a request in person may provide to the
component a form of official photographic identification, such as a
passport, an identification badge or a driver's license which contains
the photograph of the requester. If a requester is unable to produce a
form of photographic identification, he may provide to the component two
or more acceptable forms of identification bearing his name and address.
In all cases, sufficient identification must be presented to confirm
that the requester is the individual data subject.
(e) Verification of guardianship. The parent, guardian, or
representative of a minor or the guardian or representative of a person
judicially determined to be incompetent who submits a request for access
to the records of the minor or incompetent must establish:
(1) His identity, as required in paragraph (d) of this section,
(2) That the requester is the parent, guardian, or representative of
the subject of the record, which may be proved by providing a copy of
the subject's birth certificate showing parentage or by providing a
court order establishing the guardianship, and
(3) That he seeks to act on behalf of the subject of the record.
(f) The disclosure officer may waive the requirements set forth in
paragraphs (d) and (e) of this section when he deems such action to be
appropriate, and may substitute in lieu thereof, other reasonable means
of identification.
Sec. 71.3 Responses by components to requests for access to records.
(a) In general. Except as otherwise provided in this section, the
component that:
(1) First receives a request for access to a record, and
(2) Has possession of the requested record is the component ordinarily
responsible for responding to the request.
(b) Authority to grant or deny requests. The head of a component, or
his designee (i.e. disclosure officer), is authorized to make an initial
grant or denial of any request for access to a record in the possession
of that component.
(c) Processing of requests for access not properly addressed. A
request for access that is not properly addressed as specified in
Sec. 71.2 shall be forwarded to the Assistant Secretary for
Administration and Management, who shall forward the request to the
appropriate component or components for processing. A request not
addressed to the appropriate component will be deemed not to have been
received by the Department until the Assistant Secretary for
Administration and Management has forwarded the request to the
appropriate component which has the record and that component has
received the request. When the component receives an improperly
addressed request, it shall notify the requester of the date on which it
received the request. Accordingly, a request for access shall be deemed
received on the date that it is received in the appropriate component.
(d) Date for determining responsive records. In determining the extent
to which records are responsive to a request for access, a component
ordinarily will include only those records within the component's
possession and control as of the date of its receipt of the request.
(e) First party requests. A request for access by the individual data
subject for his or her own records shall be processed both under the
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and the Privacy Act (PA).
Sec. 71.4 Form and content of component responses.
(a) Form of notice granting request for access. A request by the
individual data subject for access to his or her own records shall not
be denied unless both a Privacy Act exemption and a Freedom of
Information Act exemption apply to the requested records. A component
shall make a determination within 30 days to grant or deny a request for
access in whole or in part. If the request is granted in whole, the
component shall so notify the requester in writing. The notice shall
describe the manner in which access to the record will be granted and
shall inform the requester of any fees to be charged in accordance with
Sec. 71.6.
(b) Form of notice denying request for access. A component denying a
request for access in whole or in part shall so notify the requester in
writing. The notice, signed by the responsible agency official, shall
include:
(1) The name and title or position of the person responsible for the
denial;
(2) A brief statement of the reason or reasons for the denial,
including the Privacy Act and FOIA exemption or exemptions which the
component has relied upon in denying the request; and
(3) A statement that the denial may be appealed under Sec. 71.7(a),
and a description of the requirements of that paragraph.
(c) Record cannot be located. If no records are found which are
responsive to the request, the component shall so notify the requester
in writing. Such notification by the component shall inform the
requester that, if the requester considers this response to be a denial
of their request, the requester has a right to appeal to the Solicitor
of Labor, within ninety days, as set forth in Sec. 71.7.
(d) Medical records. When an individual requests medical records
concerning himself, which are not otherwise exempt from disclosure, the
disclosure officer shall, if deemed necessary because of possible harm
to the individual, advise the individual that the Department of Labor
believes that the records should be provided to a physician designated
in writing by the individual. In addition, the Department shall request
the individual to designate such a physician. Upon receipt of the
designation, the disclosure officer will permit the physician to review
the records or to receive copies of the records by mail, upon proper
verification of identity.
Sec. 71.5 Access to records.
(a) Manner of access. A component that has made a determination to
grant a request for access shall grant the requester access to the
requested record either by providing the requester with a copy of the
record, or making the record available for inspection by the requester
at a reasonable time and place. The component shall charge the requester
only duplication costs in accordance with the provisions of Sec. 71.6.
If a component provides access to a record by making the record
available for inspection by the requester, the manner of such inspection
shall not unreasonably disrupt the operations of the component.
(b) Accompanying person. A requester appearing in person to review his
own records may be accompanied by another individual of his own
choosing. The requester shall provide the Department with his or her
written consent to disclose the record to the accompanying person.
Sec. 71.6 Fees for access to records.
(a) When charged. A component shall charge fees pursuant to 31 U.S.C.
9701 and 5 U.S.C. 552a(f)(5) for the copying of records unless the
component, in its discretion, waives or reduces the fees for good cause
shown. A component shall charge fees at the rate of $0.15 per page. In
accordance with the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act, the
first 100 pages of copying shall be furnished without charge. For
materials other than paper copies, the component may charge the direct
costs of reproduction, but only if the requester has been notified of
such costs before they are incurred. Fees shall not be charged where
they would amount, in the aggregate, for one request or for a series of
related requests, to less than $15.00. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this paragraph, the first copy of an individual's Privacy
Act record shall be provided to the individual at no cost.
(b) Notice of estimated fees amounting to between $25 to $250. When a
component determines or estimates that the fees to be charged under this
section may amount to between $25 to $250, the component shall notify
the requester as soon as practicable of the actual or estimated amount
of the fee, unless the requester has indicated in advance his
willingness to pay a fee as high as that anticipated.
(c) Notice of estimated fees in excess of $250. When a component
determines or estimates that the fees to be charged under this section
may amount to more than $250, the component shall notify the requester
as soon as practicable of the actual or estimated amount of the fee,
unless the requester has indicated in advance his willingness to pay a
fee as high as that estimated. If the fee is estimated to be in excess
of $250, then the agency may require payment in advance. (If only a
portion of the fee can be estimated readily, the component shall advise
the requester that the estimated fee may be only a portion of the total
fee.) Where the estimated fee exceeds $250 and a component has so
notified the requester, the component will be deemed not to have
received the request for access to records until the requester has paid
the anticipated fee, in full or in part. A notice to a requester
pursuant to this paragraph shall offer him the opportunity to confer
with Department personnel with the object of reformulating his request
to meet his needs at a lower cost.
(d) Form of payment. Requesters must pay fees by cash, check or money
order payable to either the Treasury of the United States, or the U.S.
Department of Labor. However, the Department shall not require advance
payment in any case where the fee is under $250, except that where a
requester has previously failed to pay a fee charged under this part,
the requester must pay the component or the Department the full amount
owed and make an advance deposit of the full amount of any estimated fee
before a component shall be required to process a new or pending request
for access from that requester.
Sec. 71.7 Appeals from denials of access.
(a) Appeals to the Solicitor of Labor. When a component denies in
whole or in part a request for access to records, the requester may
appeal the denial to the Solicitor of Labor within 90 days of his
receipt of the notice denying his request. An appeal to the Solicitor of
Labor shall be made in writing, addressed to the Solicitor of Labor,
U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC.
20210-0002. Both the envelope and the letter of appeal itself must be
clearly marked: ``Privacy Act Appeal.'' An appeal not so addressed and
marked shall be forwarded to the Office of the Solicitor as soon as it
is identified as an appeal under the Privacy Act. An appeal that is
improperly addressed shall be deemed not to have been received by the
Department until the Office of the Solicitor receives the appeal.
(b) Form of action on appeal. The disposition of an appeal shall be in
writing. A written decision affirming in whole or in part the denial of
a request for access shall include a brief statement of the reason or
reasons for the affirmation, including each Privacy Act and FOIA
exemption relied upon and its relation to each record withheld, and a
statement that judicial review of the denial is available in the U.S.
District Court for the judicial district in which the requester resides
or has his principal place of business, the judicial district in which
the requested records are located, or the District of Columbia. If the
denial of a request for access is reversed on appeal, the requester
shall be so notified and the request shall be processed promptly in
accordance with the decision on appeal.
(c) Delegation of Authority by the Solicitor of Labor. The Solicitor
of Labor is authorized to delegate his authority to decide appeals from
any and all denials of access to other senior attorneys within the
Office of the Solicitor.
Sec. 71.8 Preservation of records.
Each component shall preserve all correspondence relating to the
requests it receives under this subpart, and all records processed
pursuant to such requests, until such time as the destruction of such
correspondence and records is authorized pursuant to title 44 of the
U.S. Code and record schedules approved by the National Archives and
Records Administration, and otherwise in accordance with retention
requirements as published in the agency's system of records. Under no
circumstances shall records be destroyed while they are the subject of a
pending request for access, appeal, or lawsuit under the Act. 0
Sec. 71.9 Request for correction or amendment of records.
(a) How made. An individual may submit a request for correction or
amendment of a record pertaining to him. The request must be in writing
and must be addressed to the component that maintains the record.
(Appendix A of this part lists the components of the Department and
their addresses.) The request must identify the particular record in
question, state the correction or amendment sought, and set forth the
justification for the change. Both the envelope and the request itself
must be clearly marked: ``Privacy Act Amendment Request.''
(b) Initial determination. Within 30 working days of receiving a
request for correction or amendment, a component shall notify the
requester whether his request will be granted or denied, in whole or in
part. If the component grants the request in whole or in part, it shall
send the requester a copy of the amended record, in releasable form, as
proof of the change. If the component denies the request in whole or in
part, it shall notify the requester in writing of the denial. The notice
of denial shall state the reason or reasons for the denial and advise
the requester of his right to appeal.
(c) Appeals. When a request for correction or amendment is denied in
whole or in part, the requester may appeal the denial to the Solicitor
of Labor within 90 days of his receipt of the notice denying his
request. An appeal to the Solicitor of Labor shall be made in writing,
shall set forth the specific item of information sought to be corrected
or amended, and shall include any documentation said to justify the
change. An appeal shall be addressed to the Solicitor of Labor, U.S.
Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20210-
0002. Both the envelope and the letter of appeal itself must be clearly
marked: ``Privacy Act Amendment Appeal.''
(d) Determination on appeal. The Solicitor of Labor shall decide all
appeals from denials of requests to correct or amend records. All such
appeals shall be decided within 30 working days of receipt of the
appeal, unless there is good cause shown to extend this period. The
appellant shall be notified if the period for decision has been
extended.
(1) If the denial of a request is affirmed on appeal, the requester
shall be so notified in writing and advised of:
(i) The reason or reasons the denial has been affirmed,
(ii) The requester's right to file a Statement of Disagreement, as
provided in paragraph (f) of this section, and
(iii) The requester's right to obtain judicial review of the denial in
the U.S. District Court for the judicial district in which the requester
resides or has its principal place of business, the judicial district in
which the record is located, or the District of Columbia.
(2) If the denial is reversed on appeal, the requester shall be so
notified and the request for correction or amendment shall be promptly
remanded to the component that denied the request for processing in
accordance with the decision on appeal.
(e) Delegation of Authority by the Solicitor of Labor. The Solicitor
of Labor is authorized to delegate his or her authority to decide any
and all appeals from denials of requests to correct or amend records to
other senior attorneys within the Office of the Solicitor.
(f) Statements of disagreement. A requester whose request or appeal
under this section has been denied shall have the right to file a
Statement of Disagreement with the Solicitor of Labor, U.S. Department
of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20210-0002, within
30 days of receiving notice of denial. Statements of Disagreement may
not exceed one typed page per fact disputed. Statements exceeding this
limit shall be returned to the requester for condensation. Upon receipt
of a Statement of Disagreement under this section, the agency shall
promptly have the statement included in the record and shall have the
disputed record marked so as to indicate that a Statement of
Disagreement has been filed.
(g) Notices of correction or amendment or disagreement. Within 30
working days of the correction or amendment of a record, the component
that maintains the record shall advise all components or agencies to
which it previously disclosed the record that the record has been
amended. Whenever an individual has filed a Statement of Disagreement, a
component shall append a copy of the Statement to the disputed record
whenever the record is disclosed. The component may also append to the
disputed record a written statement giving the component's reasons for
denying the request to correct or amend the record.
Sec. 71.10 Certain records not subject to correction.
Certain records are not subject to correction or amendment. These
include, but are not limited to:

made under oath;
(b) Transcripts or decisions of grand jury, administrative, judicial,
or quasi-judicial proceedings which constitute the official record of
such proceedings;
(c) Records duly exempted from correction pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)
or 552a(k) by rulemaking promulgated under the Administrative Procedure
Act (5 U.S.C. 551 et seq.)
Sec. 71.11 Emergency disclosures.
If the record of an individual has been disclosed to any person under
compelling circumstances affecting the health or safety of any person,
as described in 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(8), the individual to whom the record
pertains shall be notified of the disclosure at his last known address
within 10 working days. The notice of such disclosure shall be in
writing and shall state the nature of the information disclosed, the
person or agency to whom it was disclosed, the date of disclosure, and
the compelling circumstances justifying the disclosure. The officer who
made or authorized the disclosure shall be responsible for providing
such notification.
Sec. 71.12 Use and collection of social security numbers.
(a) Each component unit that requests an individual to disclose his
social security account number shall provide the individual, in writing,
with the following information:
(1) The statute, regulation, Executive Order or other authority under
which the number is solicited;
(2) Whether the disclosure is mandatory or voluntary; and
(3) The consequences, if any, to the individual should he or she
refuse or fail to disclose the number.
(b) Neither the Department nor any of its component units shall, in
the absence of specific federal statutory authority, deny to an
individual any right, benefit or privilege provided by law solely
because of such individual's refusal to disclose his social security
account number.
(c) The head of each component unit shall ensure that employees
authorized to collect social security account numbers or tax identifying
numbers, are aware of the statutory or other basis for collecting such
information, of the uses to which such numbers may be put, and of the
consequences, if any, that might follow if a person refuses to disclose
the requested number.
Sec. 71.13 Employee standards of conduct.
(a) Each component shall inform its employees of the provisions of the
Privacy Act, including the Act's civil liability and criminal penalty
provisions. Each component also shall notify its employees that they
have a duty to:
(1) Protect the security of records,
(2) Ensure the accuracy, relevance, timeliness, and completeness of
records,
(3) Avoid the unauthorized disclosure, either verbal or written, of
records, and
(4) Ensure that the component maintains no system of records without
public notice.
(b) Except to the extent that the Privacy Act permits such activities,
an employee of the Department of Labor shall:
(1) Not collect information of a personal nature from individuals
unless the employee is authorized to collect such information to perform
a function or discharge a responsibility of the Department;
(2) Collect from individuals only that information which is necessary
to the performance of the functions or to the discharge of the
responsibilities of the Department;
(3) Collect information about an individual directly from that
individual, whenever practicable;
(4) Inform each individual from whom information is collected of:
(i) The legal authority that authorizes the Department to collect such
information,
(ii) The principal purposes for which the Department intends to use
the information,
(iii) The routine uses the Department may make of the information, and
(iv) The practical and legal effects upon the individual of not
furnishing the information;
(5) Maintain all records which are used by the agency in making any
determination about any individual with such accuracy, relevance,
timeliness, and completeness as to ensure fairness to the individual in
the determination;

guaranteed by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution,
unless:
(i) The individual has volunteered such information for his own
benefit,
(ii) A statute expressly authorizes the Department to collect,
maintain, use, or disseminate the information, or
(iii) The individual's beliefs, activities, or membership are
pertinent to and within the scope of an authorized law enforcement
activity;
(7) Notify the head of the component of the existence or development
of any system of records that has not been disclosed to the public;
(8) Disclose no record to anyone, for any use, unless authorized by
the Act;
(9) Maintain and use records with care to prevent the inadvertent
disclosure of a record to anyone; and
(10) Notify the head of the component of any record that contains
information that the Act or the foregoing provisions of this paragraph
do not permit the Department to maintain.
Sec. 71.14 Use of nonpublic information.
(a) Prohibition. (1) An employee shall not engage in a financial
transaction using nonpublic information, nor allow the improper use of
nonpublic information to further his own private interest or that of
another, whether through advice or recommendations, or by knowing
unauthorized disclosure. See 5 CFR 2635.703.
(2) Nonpublic information is information that an employee gains by
reason of Federal employment that he knows or reasonably should know has
not been made available to the general public. Nonpublic information
includes information contained in a Privacy Act system of records which
an individual knew or should have known:
(i) Is normally exempt from disclosure under Exemptions 6 or 7(C) of
the Freedom of Information Act, or is otherwise protected from
disclosure by statute, Executive Order or regulation;
(ii) Has not actually been disseminated to the general public and is
not authorized to be made available to the public upon request.
(b) Sanctions. Any DOL employee who willfully discloses any
information or records from any file that contains individually-
identifiable information to any person or agency not entitled to receive
it, and the disclosure of which is prohibited by the Privacy Act or by
rules or regulations established thereunder, and who, knowing the
disclosure of the specific material is so prohibited, will be subject to
disciplinary action, as appropriate.
(c) Public Disclosures by Third Parties of DOL Privacy Act Records.
When Labor Department records subject to the Privacy Act are disclosed
to third parties, and as a condition of the disclosure of such records,
the person or entity to whom the records are furnished is expressly
prohibited from further disseminating the information, any further
dissemination of the information so furnished to such person or entity
may be subject to the penalties set forth in 18 U.S.C. 641.
Sec. 71.15 Training.
All DOL systems managers, disclosure officers, and employees with
responsibilities under the Privacy Act shall periodically attend
training offered by the Department on the Privacy Act.
Subpart B--Exemption of Records Systems Under the Privacy Act
Sec. 71.50 General exemptions pursuant to subsection (j) of the
Privacy Act.
(a) The following systems of records are eligible for exemption under
5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) because they are maintained by a component of the
agency or subcomponent which performs as its principal function the
enforcement of criminal laws, and they contain investigatory material
compiled for criminal law enforcement purposes. Accordingly, these
systems of records are exempt from the following subsections of 552a of
title 5 U.S. Code: (c)(3) and (4), (d), (e)(1), (2), and (3), (e)(4)(G),
(H), and (I), (e)(5) and (8), (f) and (g).
(1) DOL/ESA-45 ( Investigative Files of the Office of Labor-Management
Standards), a system of records maintained by the Office of Labor-
Management Standards.
(2) DOL/OIG-1 (General Investigative Files, and Subject Title Index,
USDOL/OIG), a system of records maintained by the Office of the
Inspector General (OIG).
(3) DOL/OIG-2 (Freedom of Information/Privacy Acts Records), a system
of records maintained by the OIG.
(4) DOL/OIG-3 (Case Development Records), a system of records
maintained by the OIG.
(5) DOL/OIG-5 (Investigative Case Tracking Systems/Audit Information
Reporting Systems, USDOL/OIG), a system of records maintained by the
OIG.
(6) DOL/MSHA-20 (Civil/Criminal Investigations), a system of records
maintained by the Mine Safety and Health Administration.
(7) DOL/PWBA-2 (Office of Enforcement Index Cards and Investigation
Files), a system of records maintained by the Pension and Welfare
Benefits Administration.
(b) This exemption applies to the extent that information in these
systems of records is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
552a(j)(2).
(c) These systems are exempted for the reasons set forth in paragraphs
(c)(1) through (12) of this section, from the following subsections of 5
U.S.C. 552a:
(1) Subsection (c)(3). The release of the disclosure accounting would
present a serious impediment to law enforcement by permitting the
subject of an investigation of an actual or potential criminal violation
to determine whether he is the subject of investigation, or to obtain
valuable information concerning the nature of that investigation and the
information obtained, or to identify witnesses and informants.
(2) Subsection (c)(4). Since an exemption is being claimed for
subsection (d) of the Act (Access to Records), this subsection is
inapplicable to the extent that these systems of records are exempted
from subsection (d).
(3) Subsection (d). Access to records contained in these systems would
inform the subject of an actual or potential criminal investigation of
the existence of that investigation, of the nature and scope of the
investigation, of the information and evidence obtained as to his or her
activities, and of the identity of witnesses or informants. Such access
would, accordingly, provide information that could enable the subject to
avoid detection, apprehension, and prosecution. This result, therefore,
would constitute a serious impediment to effective law enforcement not
only because it would prevent the successful completion of the
investigation but also because it could endanger the physical safety of
witnesses or informants, lead to the improper influencing of witnesses,
the destruction of evidence, or the fabrication of testimony. Amendment
of the records would interfere with ongoing criminal law enforcement
proceedings and imposes an impossible administrative burden by requiring
criminal investigations to be continuously reinvestigated.
(4) Subsection (e)(1). In the course of criminal and related law
enforcement investigations, cases, and matters, the agency will
occasionally obtain information concerning actual or potential
violations of law that may not be technically within its statutory or
other authority, or it may compile information in the course of an
investigation which may not be relevant to a specific prosecution. In
the interests of effective law enforcement, it is necessary to retain
some or all of such information since it can aid in establishing
patterns of criminal activity and can provide valuable leads for Federal
and other law enforcement agencies. Moreover, it is difficult to know
during the course of an investigation what is relevant and necessary. In
this connection, facts or evidence may not seem relevant at first, but
later in the investigation, their relevance is borne out.
(5) Subsection (e)(2). To collect information to the greatest extent
practicable from the subject individual of a criminal investigation or
prosecution would present a serious impediment to law enforcement
because the subject of the investigation or prosecution would be placed
on notice as to the existence of the investigation and would therefore
be able to avoid detection or apprehension, improperly influence
witnesses, destroy evidence, or fabricate testimony.
(6) Subsection (e)(3). To provide individuals supplying information
with a form which includes the information required by subsection (e)(3)
would constitute a serious impediment to law enforcement, i.e., it could
compromise the existence of a confidential investigation or reveal the
identity of witnesses or confidential informants.
(7) Subsections (e)(4)(G) and (H). These subsections are inapplicable
to the extent that these systems are exempt from the access provisions
of subsection (d) and the rules provisions of subsection (f).
(8) Subsection (e)(4)(I). The categories of sources of the records in
these systems have been published in the Federal Register in broad
generic terms in the belief that this is all that subsection (e)(4)(I)
of the Act requires. In the event, however, that this subsection should
be interpreted to require more detail as to the identity of sources of
the records in this system, exemption from this provision is necessary
to protect the confidentiality of the sources of criminal and related
law enforcement information. Such exemption is further necessary to
protect the privacy and physical safety of witnesses and informants.
(9) Subsection (e)(5). In the collection of information for criminal
enforcement purposes it is impossible to determine in advance what
information is accurate, relevant, timely, and complete. With the
passage of time, seemingly irrelevant or untimely information may
acquire new significance as further investigation brings new details to
light. Furthermore, the accuracy of such information can often only be
determined in a court of law. The restrictions of subsection (e)(5)
would inhibit the ability of government attorneys in exercising their
judgment in reporting on information and investigations and impede the
development of criminal information and related data necessary for
effective law enforcement.
(10) Subsection (e)(8). The individual notice requirements of
subsection (e)(8) could present a serious impediment to law enforcement
as this could interfere with the ability to issue warrants or subpoenas
and could reveal investigative techniques, procedures, or evidence.
(11) Subsection (f). Procedures for notice to an individual pursuant
to subsection (f)(1) as to existence of records pertaining to the
individual dealing with an actual or potential criminal, civil, or
regulatory investigation or prosecution must be exempted because such
notice to an individual would be detrimental to the successful conduct
and/or completion of an investigation or case, pending or future. In
addition, mere notice of the fact of an investigation could inform the
subject or others that their activities are under investigation or may
become the subject of an investigation and could enable the subjects to
avoid detection, to influence witnesses improperly, to destroy evidence,
or to fabricate testimony. Since an exemption is being claimed for
subsection (d) of the Act (Access to Records) the rules required
pursuant to subsections (f)(2) through (5) are inapplicable to these
systems of records to the extent that these systems of records are
exempted from subsection (d).
(12) Subsection (g). Since an exemption is being claimed for
subsections (d) (Access to Records) and (f) (Agency Rules) this section
is inapplicable, and is exempted for the reasons set forth for those
subsections, to the extent that these systems of records are exempted
from subsections (d) and (f).
Sec. 71.51 Specific exemptions pursuant to subsection (k)(2) of the
Privacy Act.
(a) The following systems of records are eligible for exemption under
5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2) because they contain investigatory material compiled
for law enforcement purposes other than material within the scope of
subsection (j)(2) of 5 U.S.C. 552a. Provided however, that if any
individual is denied any right, privilege or benefit to which he would
otherwise be entitled by Federal law, or for which he would otherwise be
eligible, as a result of the maintenance of such material, such material
shall be provided to such individual, except to the extent that the
disclosure of such material would reveal the identity of a source who
furnished information to the Government under an express promise that
the identity of the source would be held in confidence, or prior to
January 1, 1975, under an implied promise that the identity of the
source would be held in confidence. Accordingly the following systems of
records are exempt from (c)(3), (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3), (d)(4), (e)(1),
(e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(I) and (f) of 5 U.S.C. 552a.

(b) This exemption applies to the extent that information in these
systems is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2).
(c) The systems of records listed under paragraphs (a)(1) through
(a)(39) of this section are exempted for the reasons set forth in
paragraphs (c) (1) through (6) of this section, from the following
subsections of 5 U.S.C. 552a:
(1) Subsection (c)(3). The release of the disclosure accounting, for
disclosures made pursuant to subsection (b) of the Act, including those
permitted under the routine uses published for these systems of records,
would enable the subject of an investigation of an actual or potential
civil case to determine whether he or she is the subject of
investigation, to obtain valuable information concerning the nature of
that investigation and the information obtained, and to determine the
identity of witnesses or informants. Such access to investigative
information would, accordingly, present a serious impediment to law
enforcement. In addition, disclosure of the accounting would constitute
notice to the individual of the existence of a record even though such
notice requirement under subsection (f)(1) is specifically exempted for
this system of records.
(2) Subsections (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3), and (d)(4). Access to the
records contained in these systems would inform the subject of an actual
or potential civil investigation of the existence of that investigation,
of the nature and scope of the information and evidence obtained as to
his or her activities, and of the identity of witnesses or informants.
Such access would, accordingly, provide information that could enable
the subject to avoid detection. This result, therefore, would constitute
a serious impediment to effective law enforcement not only because it
would prevent the successful completion of the investigation but also
because it could endanger the physical safety of witnesses or
informants, lead to the improper influencing of witnesses, the
destruction of evidence, or the fabrication of testimony.
(3) Subsection (e)(1). The notices for these systems of records
published in the Federal Register set forth the basic statutory or
related authority for maintenance of these systems. However, in the
course of civil and related law enforcement investigations, cases and
matters, the agency will occasionally obtain information concerning
actual or potential violations of law that are not strictly or
technically within its statutory or other authority or may compile
information in the course of an investigation which may not be relevant
to a specific case. In the interests of effective law enforcement, it is
necessary to retain some or all of such information in this system of
records since it can aid in establishing patterns of compliance and can
provide valuable leads for Federal and other law enforcement agencies.
Moreover, it is difficult to know during the course of an investigation
what is relevant and necessary. In this connection, facts or evidence
may not seem relevant at first, but later in the investigation, their
relevance is borne out.
(4) Subsections (e)(4) (G) and (H). Since an exemption is being
claimed for subsections (f) (Agency Rules) and (d) (Access to Records)
of the Act, these subsections are inapplicable to the extent that these
systems of records are exempted from subsections (f) and (d).
(5) Subsection (e)(4)(I). The categories of sources of the records in
these systems have been published in the Federal Register in broad
generic terms in the belief that this is all that subsection (e)(4)(I)
of the Act requires. In the event, however, that this subsection should
be interpreted to require more detail as to the identity of sources of
the records in this system, exemption from this provision is necessary
in order to protect the confidentiality of the sources of civil law
enforcement information. Such exemption is further necessary to protect
the privacy and physical safety of witnesses and informants.
(6) Subsection (f). Procedures for notice to an individual pursuant to
subsection (f)(1) as to existence of records pertaining to the
individual dealing with an actual or potential criminal, civil, or
regulatory investigation or prosecution must be exempted because such
notice to an individual would be detrimental to the successful conduct
and/or completion of an investigation or case, pending or future. In
addition, mere notice of the fact of an investigation could inform the
subject or others that their activities are under or may become the
subject of an investigation and could enable the subjects to avoid
detection, to influence witnesses improperly, to destroy evidence, or to
fabricate testimony. Since an exemption is being claimed for subsection
(d) of the Act (Access to Records), the rules required pursuant to
subsections (f)(2) through (5) are inapplicable to these systems of
records to the extent that these systems of records are exempted from
subsection (d).
Sec. 71.53 Specific exemptions pursuant to subsection (k)(5) of the
Privacy Act.
(a) The following systems of records are eligible for exemption under
5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(5) because they contain investigatory material compiled
solely for the purpose of determining suitability, eligibility, or
qualifications for Federal civilian employment, military service,
Federal contracts, or access to classified information, but only to the
extent that the disclosure of such material would reveal the identity of
a source who furnished information to the Government under an express
promise that the identity of the source would be held in confidence, or,
prior to January 1, 1975 , under an implied promise that the identity of
the source would be held in confidence. Accordingly, these systems of
records are exempt from (c)(3), (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3), (d)(4), (e)(1),
(e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(I) and (f) of 5 U.S.C. 552a.
(1) DOL/OASAM-20 (Personnel Investigation Records), a system of
records maintained by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for
Administration and Management (OASAM).
(2) DOL/OIG-1 (General Investigative Files, and Subject Title Index,
USDOL/OIG), a system of records maintained by the Office of the
Inspector General (OIG).
(3) DOL/OIG-2 (Freedom of Information/Privacy Acts Records), a system
of records maintained by the OIG.
(4) DOL/OIG-3 (Case Development Records), a system of records
maintained by the OIG.
(5) DOL/OIG-5 (Investigative Case Tracking Systems/Audit Information
Reporting Systems, USDOL/OIG), a system of records maintained by the
OIG.
(b) This exemption applies to the extent that information in these
systems is subject to exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(5).
(c) The systems of records listed under paragraphs (a)(1) through
(a)(5) of this section are exempted for the reasons set forth in
paragraphs (c)(1) through (6) of this section, from the following
subsections of 5 U.S.C. 552a:
(1) Subsection (c)(3). The release of the disclosure accounting, for
disclosures made pursuant to subsection (b) of the Act, including those
permitted under the routine uses published for this system of records,
would enable the subject of an investigation of an actual or potential
civil case to determine whether he or she is the subject of
investigation, to obtain valuable information concerning the nature of
that investigation and the information obtained, and to determine the
identity of witnesses or informants. Such access to investigative
information would, accordingly, present a serious impediment to the
investigation. In addition, disclosure of the accounting would
constitute notice to the individual of the existence of a record even
though such notice requirement under subsection (f)(1) is specifically
exempted for this system of records.
(2) Subsections (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3), and (d)(4). Access to the
records contained in these systems would inform the subject of an actual
or potential investigation of the existence of that investigation, of
the nature and scope of the information and evidence obtained as to his
or her activities, and of the identity of witnesses or informants. Such
access would, accordingly, provide information that could enable the
subject to avoid detection. This result, therefore, would constitute a
serious impediment to effective investigation not only because it would
prevent the successful completion of the investigation but also because
it could endanger the physical safety of witnesses or informants, lead
to the improper influencing of witnesses, the destruction of evidence,
or the fabrication of testimony.
(3) Subsection (e)(1). The notices for these systems of records
published in the Federal Register set forth the basic statutory or
related authority for maintenance of this system. However, in the course
of civil and related investigations, cases and matters, the agency will
occasionally obtain information concerning actual or potential
violations of law that are not strictly or technically within its
statutory or other authority or may compile information in the course of
an investigation which may not be relevant to a specific case. In the
interests of effective investigation, it is necessary to retain some or
all of such information in these systems of records since it can aid in
establishing patterns of compliance and can provide valuable leads for
Federal and other law enforcement agencies. Moreover, it is difficult to
know during the course of an investigation what is relevant and
necessary. In this connection, facts or evidence may not seem relevant
at first, but later in the investigation, their relevance is borne out.
(4) Subsections (e)(4)(G) and (H). Since an exemption is being claimed
for subsections (f) (Agency Rules) and (d) (Access to Records) of the
Act, these subsections are inapplicable to the extent that these systems
of records are exempted from subsections (f) and (d).
(5) Subsection (e)(4)(I). The categories of sources of the records in
these systems have been published in the Federal Register in broad
generic terms in the belief that this is all that subsection (e)(4)(I)
of the Act requires. In the event, however, that this subsection should
be interpreted to require more detail as to the identity of sources of
the records in this system, exemption from this provision is necessary
in order to protect the confidentiality of the sources of investigatory
information. Such exemption is further necessary to protect the privacy
and physical safety of witnesses and informants.
(6) Subsection (f). Procedures for notice to an individual pursuant to
subsection (f)(1) as to existence of records pertaining to the
individual dealing with an actual or potential investigation must be
exempted because such notice to an individual would be detrimental to
the successful conduct and/or completion of an investigation or case,
pending or future. In addition, mere notice of the fact of an
investigation could inform the subject or others that their activities
are under or may become the subject of an investigation and could enable
