(a) Recordkeeping. Each State agency will make and maintain records
pertaining to the administration of the Act as the Secretary requires
and will make all such records available for inspection, examination and
audit by such Federal officials as the Secretary may designate or as may
be required by law. Such recordkeeping will be adequate to support the
reporting of TAA activity on reporting form ETA 563 approved under OMB
control number 1205-0016.
(b) Disclosure of information. Information in records maintained by
a State agency in administering the Act shall be kept confidential, and
information in such records may be disclosed only in the same manner and
to the same extent as information with respect to UI and the entitlement
of individuals thereto may be disclosed under the applicable State law.
Such information shall not, however, be disclosed to an employer or any
other person except to the extent necessary to obtain information from
the employer or other person for the purposes of this part 617. This
provision on the confidentiality of information maintained in the
administration of the Act shall not apply, however, to the Department or
for the purposes of Sec. 617.55 or paragraph (a) of this section, or in
the case of information, reports and studies required pursuant to
Sec. 617.61, or where the result would be inconsistent with the Freedom
of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552), the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C.
552a), or regulations of the Department promulgated thereunder (see 29
CFR parts 70 and 70a).
