PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT
Authorities: 5 U.S.C. 552, 5 U.S.C. 552a, 32 CFR 310, and 32 CFR 286.
Principal Purpose(s): The purpose of the collection is to enable the DCSA – Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency – to locate applicable
records and to respond to requests made under the Freedom of Information Act and the Privacy Act of 1974.
Routine Use(s): The information collected on this form will primarily be used to comply with requests for information under 5 U.S.C. § 552 and 5 U.S.C.
§ 552a. The information requested may be used by and disclosed to DCSA personnel, contractors, and/or shared externally with other government
agency personnel as a routine use when necessary and relevant to assist in activities related to the processing of your Freedom of Information Act
and/or Privacy Act request. Additionally, DCSA may use the information as necessary and authorized by the routine uses in the system of records
notice associated with this form: DoD-0008 Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act Records. A complete list of the routine uses and the full
text of DoD-0008 can be found at: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/12/22/2021-27710/privacy-act-of-1974-system-of-records.
Disclosure: Information Regarding Disclosure of your Social Security Number (SSN) under Public Law 93-579, Section 7 (b). Solicitation of SSNs by
DCSA is authorized under the provisions of Executive Order 9397, dated November 22, 1943. Providing your social security number is voluntary.
You are asked to provide your social security number only to facilitate the identification of records relating to you. Without your social security
number, DCSA may be unable to locate records pertaining to you. The use of SSNs is necessary because of the large number of Federal

their SSNs.
