REQUEST FOR DISCLOSURE OF RECORDS PROTECTED UNDER THE PRIVACY ACT
1.

Name of the individual who is the subject of the record(s) sought.

2.

Individuals submitting a request under the Privacy Act of 1974 must be either "a citizen of the United States or an alien lawfully admitted for
permanent residence," pursuant to 5 U.S.C. Section 552a(a)(2). Requests will be processed as Freedom of Information Act requests pursuant to 5
U.S.C. Section 552, rather than Privacy Act requests, for individuals who are not United States citizens or aliens lawfully admitted for permanent
residence.

3.

This information is required for the agency to be able to match the individual's information provided in this request with the records that pertain to
that individual. Although not required, information such as Social Security number, permanent resident ("green card") number, passport number
and other personal identifying information will assist the Department in matching the individual's information provided in this request with the
records that pertain to that individual.

4.

Requests for access should describe the requested record(s) in sufficient detail to permit identification of the record(s). At a minimum, requests
should include the individual's full name (including maiden name, if appropriate) and any other names used. Helpful data includes the approximate
time period of the record and the circumstances that give the individual reason to believe that the Department maintains a record under the
individual's name or personal identifier, and, if known, the system of records in which the record is maintained.

Public Burden Statement
A Federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply
with an information collection subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 unless the information collection has a currently valid
OMB Control Number. The approved OMB Control Number for this information collection is 0503-NEW. Without this approval, we could not conduct this
information collection. Public reporting for this information collection is estimated to be approximately 0.40 hours per response, including the time for
reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the information
collection. All responses to this information collection are voluntary. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this information
collection, including suggestions for reducing this burden to the OCIO-ISC Privacy Office at: United States Department of Agriculture, 1400 Independence
