21. INFORMATION REQUESTED IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN
DoD 5400.11–R requires giving a Privacy Act advisory statement
whenever individuals are requested to supply information about
themselves for a system of records; hence, the requirement is
not avoided merely because the information is in the public domain
or required to be disclosed under the Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA). If information solicited from an individual is to be
placed in a system of records, an advisory statement is necessary,
regardless of whether the same information is in the public domain
or would be disclosed under the FOIA.
