Secretary of Education, as a condition for funding, that it has adopted and implemented a drug
prevention program as described in regulations at 34 CFR Part 86, (55 FR 33581), August 16,
1990, as amended at 61 FR 66225, December 17, 1996. The provisions of the regulations also

or local educational agency.

RELEASE OF INFORMATION
A.

General Public Information: DHHS makes available routinely to interested persons a report
listing grants awarded. Information made available includes the title of the project, grantee
institution, project director, and the amount of the award.
The Freedom of Information Act (5 USC 552) and the associated Freedom of Information
Regulations of DHHS (45 CFR Part 5) require the release of certain information about grants
upon request. Release does not depend upon the intended use of the information.
Generally available for release upon request are all funded grant applications; progress reports of
grantees; and final reports of any review or evaluation of grantee performance conducted or
caused to be conducted by the Department. Release is subject to deletion of material that would
affect patent or other valuable rights.

B.

Information Available to the Project Director: The Privacy Act of 1974 (5 USC 552a) and the
associated Privacy Act Regulations (45 CFR part 5b) give individuals the right of access, upon
request, to information in the records concerning themselves. The Act provides a mechanism for
correction or amendment of such information. It also provides for the protection of information
pertaining to an individual, but it does not prevent disclosure if release of such information is
required under the Freedom of Information Act. If a Privacy Act system of records applies, the
name and number of the system will be identified.
If applicable, the Privacy Act requires that a Federal agency requesting information from an
individual advise the individual of the agency’s authority to make the request; whether
compliance with the request is voluntary or mandatory; how and why the information will be
used both inside and outside the agency; and what the consequences are for the individual of
failing to provide all or any part of the requested information.
The DHHS requests the information described in these instructions under authority of the PHS
Act as amended (42 USC 289a-1). Although provision of the information requested is entirely
voluntary, it is necessary for making grant award decisions. A lack of sufficient information may
hinder DHHS’s ability to review applications. This information will be used with the DHHS and
may be disclosed outside the Department as permitted by the Privacy Act under the applicable
system of records.

C.

Government Use of Information: In addition to being used in evaluating applications, other
routine uses of information can include disclosures to the public as required by the Freedom of
Information Act; to the Congress; to the National Archives and Records Service; to the Bureau of
the Census; to law enforcement agencies upon their request; to the General Accounting Office;
and under court order. It may also be disclosed outside of the Department if necessary for the
following purposes.
1. To the cognizant audit agency for auditing;
2. To the Department of Justice as required for litigation;
3. To respond to an inquiry from a Congressional office about the record of an individual made
at the request of that individual;

4. To qualified experts not within the definition of Department employees as prescribed in
Department regulations (45 CFR Part 5b.2, Purpose and Scope) for opinion as a part of the
application review process;
5. To a Federal agency, in response to its request, in connection with the letting of a contract, or
the issuance of a license, grant or other benefit by the requesting agency, to the extent that the
record is relevant and necessary to the requesting agency’s decision on the matter;
6. To individuals and organizations deemed qualified by the DHHS to carry out specific
research related to the review and award process of the DHHS;
7. To organizations in the private sector with whom DHHS has contracted for the purpose of
collating, analyzing, aggregating or otherwise refining records in a system. Relevant records
will be disclosed to such a contractor. The contractor shall be required to maintain Privacy
Act safeguards with respect to such records; and
8. To the applicant organization in connection with performance or administration under the
terms and conditions of the award.
