Privacy Act Statement
The USDA Forest Service is authorized to
obtain certain information under Section 515
of the Treasury and General Government Appropriations
Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (Public Law No. 106-554,
codified at 44 U.S.C. 3516, note). Information
is needed by the the USDA Forest Service to
process the request for correction and allow
the USDA Forest Service to reply accordingly.
This information is needed by the USDA
Forest Service to respond to the requestor
and initiate follow-up contact with the requestor
if required. Requestors should not send
the USDA Forest Service their Social Security
Number. Requestors are advised that
they do not have to furnish the information
but failure to do so may prevent their request
from being processed. The information
requestors furnish is almost never used for
any purpose other than to process and respond
to their request. However, the USDA
Forest Service may disclose information to
a congressional office in response to an inquiry
made on behalf of the requestor, to the Department
of Justice, a court, other tribunal when the
information is relevant and necessary to litigation,
or to a contractor or another Federal agency
to help accomplish a function related to this
process.
