4. I, the Cooperator, have been informed of the manner in which the damage management components listed in Section 3 will be used, and of the possible hazards associated with their use. I understand
that the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), to include its officers, employees, and agents, will exercise reasonable precautions to safeguard all persons and to prevent injury to animal
life other than those listed in Section 2 above, guard against the mishandling of control devices and materials, and exercise due caution and proper judgment in all control operations.
In consideration of these understandings and of the benefits to be derived, I, the Cooperator, agree to take reasonable precautions to prevent injury to domestic animals, to assume responsibility for injury
to my property or to property under my control, when said injury is not the result of negligence on the part of APHIS; and that no traps should be left actively deployed and unmonitored over weekends or
holidays.

5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(3), requires that each agency that maintains a system of records provide each individual from whom the agency solicits information with the following information.
AUTHORITY FOR REQUESTING INFORMATION
7 U.S.C. 8351 to 8353, and 16 U.S.C. 667, authorizes officers, agents, and employees of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS),
Wildlife Services (WS) to conduct a program of wildlife services and to enter into agreements with States, local jurisdictions, individuals, and public and private agencies, organizations, and institutions
for the purpose of conducting such services.
NATURE OF YOUR DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
Disclosure of information solicited by USDA, APHIS, Wildlife Services is voluntary.
PRINCIPLE PURPOSE FOR WHICH THE INFORMATION IS SOLICITED
Information is solicited from you for the purpose of executing and implementing agreements for control of wildlife damage.
ROUTINE USES WHICH MAY BE MADE OF THE INFORMATION
(1) To cooperative Federal, State, Tribal, and local government officials, employees, or contractors and other parties as necessary to carry out the program; and other parties engaged to assist in
administering the program. Such contractors and other parties will be bound by the nondisclosure provisions of the Privacy Act. This routine use assists the agency in carrying out the program, and thus
is compatible with the purpose for which the records are created and maintained;
(2) To the appropriate agency, whether Federal, State, local, Tribal, or foreign, charged with responsibility of investigating or prosecuting a violation of law or of enforcing, implementing, or complying
with a statute, rule, regulation, or order issued pursuant thereto, of any record within this system when information available indicates a violation or potential violation of law, whether civil, criminal, or
regulatory in nature, and either arising by general statute or particular program statute, or by rule, regulation, or court order issued pursuant thereto;
(3) To the Department of Justice when the agency, or any component thereof, or any employee of the agency in his or her official capacity, or any employee of the agency in his or her individual
capacity where the Department of Justice has agreed to represent the employee, or the United States, in litigation, where the agency determines that litigation is likely to affect the agency or any of its
components, is a party to litigation or has an interest in such litigation, and the use of such records by the Department of Justice is deemed by the agency to be relevant and necessary to the litigation;
provided, however, that in each case, the agency determines that disclosure of the records to the Department of Justice is a use of the information contained in the records that is compatible with the
purpose for which the records were collected;
(4) For use in a proceeding before a court or adjudicative body before which the agency is authorized to appear, when the agency, or any component thereof, or any employee of the agency in his or
her official capacity, or any employee of the agency in his or her individual capacity where the agency has agreed to represent the employee, or the United States, where the agency determines that
litigation is likely to affect the agency or any of its components, is a party to litigation or has an interest in such litigation, and the agency determines that use of such records is relevant and necessary to
the litigation; provided, however, that in each case, the agency determines that disclosure of the records to the court is a use of the information contained in the records that is compatible with the
purpose for which the records were collected;
(5) To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when the agency suspects or has confirmed that the security or confidentiality of information in the system of records has been compromised; the
agency has determined that as a result of the suspected or confirmed compromise, there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, a risk of identity theft or fraud, or a risk of harm to the security
of integrity of this system or other systems or programs (whether maintained by the agency or another agency or entity) that rely upon the compromised information; and the disclosure made to such
agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to assist in connection with the agency’s efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such
harm;
(6)

To USDA contractors, partner agency employee or contractors, or private industry employed to identify patterns, trends, or anomalies indicative of fraud, waste, or abuse;

(7)

To land management agencies, such as the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, relating to wildlife damage on grazing allotments;

(8)

To consumer reporting agencies in accordance with 31 U.S.C. 3711(e);

(9) To Federal, State, Tribal, and local regulatory agencies and their employees and contractors who collaborate with Wildlife Services in implementation of, or agencies that regulate, wildlife
management projects or programs, or who have an interest in, or regulate, animal or public health, or national security;
(10) To Federal or State Government-level representatives of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, in compliance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA)
mandate in 7 U.S.C. 136(f, and i thru l), of the location on a cooperator’s property where certain regulated pesticide devices are deployed or regulated pesticides are applied; and
(11) To the National Archives and Records Administration or to the General Services Administration for records management inspections conducted under 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906.
