Privacy Impact Assessments

The Privacy Act of 1974 requires that agencies create and maintain, as necessary, a system of record notice for systems as defined in the Privacy Act provisions. A system is subject to the Privacy Act if it contains a system of records; any item, collection, or grouping of information about an individual that identifies an individual, and where those records are retrieved by the name of the individual or by some type of unique identifier. In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, OPDIVs are responsible for completing and maintaining system or records notices.
