Sec. 806b.26  Disposing of records.

    You may use the following methods to dispose of records protected by 
the Privacy Act according to records retention schedules:

[[Page 31]]

    (a) Destroy by any method that prevents compromise, such as tearing, 
burning, or shredding, so long as the personal data is not recognizable 
and beyond reconstruction.
    (b) Degauss or overwrite magnetic tapes or other magnetic medium.
    (c) Dispose of paper products through the Defense Reutilization and 
Marketing Office (DRMO) or through activities who manage a base-wide 
recycling program. The recycling sales contract must contain a clause 
requiring the contractor to safeguard privacy material until its 
destruction and to pulp, macerate, shred, or otherwise completely 
destroy the records. Originators must safeguard Privacy Act material 
until it is transferred to the recycling contractor. A federal employee 
or, if authorized, a contractor employee must witness the destruction. 
This transfer does not require a disclosure accounting.
