OMB does not find the agency's emergency justification compelling since the PRA specifically requires the agency to undergo a review process prior to implementation of an information collection. The agency's wish to implement immediately does not automatically translate into a need. However, given that the agency has already implemented the form, in violation of the PRA, through a pilot program, OMB grants the request for emergency processing. All pilot programs in which 10 or more persons participate are covered by the PRA. Prior to future submission, the agency must reexamine its compliance with the Privacy Act and ensure the all respondents are adequately informed of the routine uses of this collection. The routine uses must be specifically detailed on or with the form. Cross-references to materials not immediately available to the respondent are not a suitable substitute. In addition, the agency may not require the respondent to provide the Social Security Number in the absence of specific statutory authorization to require it. The purpose for collecting the Social Security Number must be disclosed on the form, whether providing it is mandatory or voluntary.
