This system collects employment and contact information from participating scholars to verify the fulfillment of their service obligation and assess program performance. Verifying service obligation requires collecting personally identifying information from grantees, scholars, and employers. This data collection has been authorized by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 2004 (IDEA) and its corresponding requirements 34 CFR Part 304 printed in the Federal Register Volume 70 No. 57 March 25, 2005 and regulations Vol. 71 No. 107 June 5, 2006, as well as reporting requirements under 34 CFR 75.110.

Users of the PDPDCS must agree to certain conditions and agree to act to ensure the accuracy and confidentiality of the information stored by the PDPDCS.

Violation of this policy will result in suspension of grantee access to the PDPDCS. Users representing grantees agree to:

• Maintain requested grant information, including grant contact information;

• Maintain PDPDCS accounts established to collect grant, grantee and scholar information by:

  • Protecting account login names and passwords;

  • Submitting scholar information as requested by PDPDCS;

Privacy Act Notice

The Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a) requires that the following notice be provided to you. The authority for collecting the requested information about the scholar is part D of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, as amended by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004. We request the scholar’s educational information pertinent to the OSEP scholarship grant received whether provided by the scholar, grantee, or other entity, including personally identifiable information (PII), under this authority in order to accurately track the scholar’s records and to differentiate the scholar’s financial obligation from other scholars who may have the same name. The scholar’s participation in the Office of Special Education (OSEP) Personnel Development Program (PDP) is voluntary and that giving us the scholar’s student educational information is voluntary, but you must provide the requested information, including the scholar’s PII, to participate. The information will be used to ensure that recipients of scholarships provided with funds under part D of the IDEA meet specific statutory and regulatory requirements, including service obligation fulfillment or repayment of financial obligation.

The information in you the scholar’s records may be disclosed to third parties as authorized under routine uses in the appropriate systems of records, either on a case-by-case basis, or, if the Department has complied with the computer matching requirements of the Privacy Act, under a computer matching agreement.

The routine uses of this information include sending the information, in the event of litigation, to the Department of Justice (DOJ), a court, adjudicative body, counsel, party, or witness if the disclosure is relevant and necessary to the litigation. If this information, either alone or with other information, indicates a potential violation of law, we may send it to the appropriate authority for action. We may also send this information to law enforcement agencies if the information is relevant to any enforcement, regulatory, investigative, or prosecutorial responsibility within the receiving entity’s jurisdiction. We may send information to the Department of Treasury and to credit agencies to verify the identity and location of the debtor and to the Department of Treasury, collection agencies, and employers of the scholarship recipient in order to service or collect on the debt. We may send information to members of Congress if you ask them to help you with questions related to this Program. In circumstances involving employment complaints, grievances, or disciplinary actions, we may disclose relevant records to adjudicate or investigate the issues. If provided for by a collective bargaining agreement, we may disclose records to a labor organization recognized under 5 U.S.C. Chapter 71. If necessary for the Department to obtain advice from the DOJ, we can disclose information to the DOJ. We may disclose information to the DOJ or the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to help us determine whether the Freedom of Information Act requires the disclosure of particular records. We can disclose records to contractors if we contract with an entity to perform functions that require the disclosure of the records. Disclosures may also be made to qualified researchers under Privacy Act safeguards. Finally, disclosures may be made to OMB as necessary under the requirements of the Credit Reform Act.
