PRIVACY ACT NOTICE
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 (NARA) or to the General Services Administration for records management inspections

conducted under 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906.
EFFECTS OF FAILURE TO FURNISH INFORMATION
Failure to provide the solicited information will not subject you to penalties or adverse consequences.

Instructions for Completing WS Form 30, Wildlife Services Assistance Request
This form is used to collect information about a person who has requested assistance from WS about wildlife damage. This information will usually be
collected by telephone from requesters who call a WS office seeking assistance. The information captured includes the location of the problem, name of
caller, phone number and data about the nature of the damage and the species involved. It also collects information about what recommendations might
be provided for resolving the damage. If the number of items to be reported exceeds the capacity of this form, a new form should be filled out for those
additional items. Example: The form is designed to capture information about one species (Item 6a). If the requester reports damage from two separate
species, a form should be filled out for each.
The WS employee filling out this form is instructed to refer to the MIS Help Files for further information about entries.
1. Keep short notes on this line about what stage of the process you are in with the customer. Example: an entry such as “called, left message on voice
mail” could mean you called the customer back but he/she was not available and you left a message on the voice mail. Messages to yourself about
commitments to loan equipment or distribute supplies could be entered here also.
2a-b. After discussing the problem with the customer, you may have agreed to send a wildlife damage management leaflet, or some material to the
person, or you may have agreed to provide a damage control device, tool, or supply. This line is to be used to instruct the WS employee (or to remind
yourself) to send or provide such items to the requester and to post the date that it was sent or provided.
3a-c. Enter the name, address, phone number of the requester.
3d. If a trip to the requesters property to look at the problem is planned, you may need additional directions beyond the address. They are entered here.

available” from any source.
8a. This line is to be used to record a second resource type affected (if applicable).
8b-g. Refer to instructions for # 7b-g.
9a-b. If a federal permit is discussed as a means to address the damage problem, record whether the permit is to be a “NEW” permit or “RENEWAL” of
an existing one.
9c-d. Notate whether the permit was recommended or not recommended by marking the appropriate box.
10a-b. If a state permit is recommended by WS, mark item a; if a state permit is issued by the appropriate state agency representative mark the
“ISSUED” box.
