operation of a system of records on individuals on behalf of the
agency must extend all Privacy Act safeguards to the contractors
and employees engaged in the performance of these contracts. This

with the requirement for Federal contractors to provide privacy
training, whenever contract performance requires access to
personally identifiable information (PII), including access to a
system of records on individuals or the design, development,
maintenance, or the operation of a system of records on
individuals.
