Appendix B 

Standard Routine Uses—NASA 

The following routine uses of 

information contained in Systems of 

Records (SORs), subject to the Privacy 

Act of 1974, are standard for many 

NASA systems. They are cited by 

reference in the paragraph ‘‘Routine 

uses of records maintained in the 

system, including categories of users 

and the purpose of such uses’’ of the 

Federal Register Notice on those 

systems to which they apply. 

Standard Routine Use No. 1—Law 

Enforcement 

In the event this SOR indicates a 

violation or potential violation of law, 

whether civil, criminal, or regulatory in 

nature, and whether arising by general 

statute or particular program statute, or 

by regulation, rule or order issued 

pursuant thereto, the relevant records in 

the SOR may be referred, as a routine 

use, to the appropriate agency, whether 

Federal, State, local or foreign, charged 

with the responsibility of investigating 

or prosecuting such violation or charged 

with enforcing or implementing the 

statute, or rule, regulation or order 

issued pursuant thereto. 

Standard Routine Use No. 2—Disclosure 

When Requesting Information 

A record from this SOR may be 

disclosed as a ‘‘routine use’’ to a 

Federal, State, or local agency 

maintaining civil, criminal, or other 

relevant enforcement information or 

other pertinent information, such as 

current licenses, if necessary to obtain 

information relevant to an agency 

decision concerning the hiring or 

retention of an employee, the issuance 

of a security clearance, the letting of a 

contract, or the issuance of a license, 

grant, or other benefit. 

Standard Routine Use No. 3—Disclosure 

of Requested Information 

A record from this SOR may be 

disclosed to a Federal agency, in 

response to its request, in connection 

with the hiring or retention of an 

employee, the issuance of a security 

clearance, the reporting of an 

investigation of an employee, the letting 

of a contract, or the issuance of a 

license, grant, or other benefit by the 

requesting agency, to the extent that the 

information is relevant and necessary to 

the requesting agency’s decision on the 

matter. 

Standard Routine Use No. 4—Disclosure 

to the Department of Justice for Use in 

Litigation 

A record from this SOR may be 

disclosed to the Department of Justice 

when (a) the Agency, or any component 

thereof; or (b) any employee of the 

Agency in his or her official capacity; or 

(c) any employee of the Agency in his 

or her individual capacity where the 

Department of Justice or the Agency has 

agreed to represent the employee; or (d) 

the United States, where the Agency 

determines that litigation is likely to 

affect the Agency or any of its 

components, is a party to litigation or 

has an interest in such litigation, and 

the use of such records by the 

Department of Justice or the Agency is 

deemed by the Agency to be relevant 

and necessary to the litigation provided, 

however, that in each case it has been 

determined that the disclosure is 

compatible with the purpose for which 

the records were collected. 

Standard Routine Use 5—Routine Use 

for Agency Disclosure in Litigation 

It shall be a routine use of the records 

in this SOR to disclose them in a 

proceeding before a court or 

adjudicative body before which the 

agency is authorized to appear, when: 

(a) The Agency, or any component 

thereof; or (b) any employee of the 

Agency in his or her official capacity; or 

(c) any employee of the Agency in his 

or her individual capacity where the 

Agency has agreed to represent the 

employee; or (d) the United States, 

where the Agency determines that 

litigation is likely to affect the Agency 

or any of its components, is a party to 

litigation or has an interest in such 

litigation, and the use of such records by 

the Agency is deemed to be relevant and 

necessary to the litigation, provided, 

however, that in each case, the Agency 

has determined that the disclosure is 

compatible with the purpose for which 

the records were collected. 

Standard Routine Use No. 6—Suspected 

or Confirmed Confidentiality 

Compromise 

A record from this SOR may be 

disclosed to appropriate agencies, 

entities, and persons when (1) NASA 

suspects or has confirmed that the 

security or confidentiality of 

information in the SOR has been 

compromised; (2) NASA has determined 

that as a result of the suspected or 

confirmed compromise there is a risk of 

harm to economic or property interests, 

identity theft or fraud, or harm to the 

security or integrity of this system or 

other systems or programs (whether 

maintained by NASA or another agency 

or entity) that rely upon the 

compromised information; and (3) the 

disclosure made to such agencies, 

entities, and persons is reasonably 

necessary to assist in connection with 

NASA’s efforts to respond to the 

suspected or confirmed compromise 

and prevent, minimize, or remedy such 

harm.
