Appendix L. Response to NASS Comment
In response to the NASS comment, we revised the Statement of Confidentiality and Nondisclosure for the Summer Meals Study to incorporate additional explicit requirements. See Appendix A4. In making the revisions, we consulted both the example provided by NASS that is used for NASS and NASDA employees, as well as the current statement in use for another FNS study, the Access, Participation, Eligibility and Certification (APEC) study.
We also updated confidentiality/privacy statements on all study instruments and recruitment materials to add reference to the FNS System of Record Notice as follows:
As described in the system of record notice (SORN) titled FNS-8 USDA/FNS Studies and Reports (published in the Federal Register on April 25, 1991, volume 56, pages 19078-19080), FNS and contractors working on their behalf may collect and analyze this information for research purposes and are required to have safeguards in place to keep data private.
