Privacy Act Statement

Subsection (e) (3) of 5 U.S.C. x 522a (Section 3 of the Privacy Act) requires that TVA inform you of its authority to request information and the uses which TVA may make of the information requested. That subsection further requires TVA to inform you of the effects of not providing any or all of the requested information.

TVA’s authority to request the information you will provide is derived from the TVA Act and the Veterans Preference Act of 1944, as amended, and will be used to determine your preference eligibility status. Information provided on the form may be furnished to people, agencies, organizations, or institutions in order to verify such status.

Furnishing the requested information is voluntary; however, failure to provide all or part of the information and documentation requested may result in a lack of further consideration for employment, your preference status not being considered, or in the termination of your employment.

Information provided on this form is normally used only to determine eligibility for veterans preference. Information obtained on this form may be furnished to third parties as authorized by law. For example, should a dispute arise or a congressional inquiry be made regarding TVA employment practices, the information may be made available outside of TVA in the course of that dispute or inquiry. Further, information on this form may be made available to law enforcement agencies in the exercise of their duties, or to a prospective employer or TVA contractor upon proper request.
