In addition to the disclosure generally 

permitted under 5 U.S.C. 552a(b) of the 

Privacy Act, these records or 

information in these records may be 

used pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3): 

a. To disclose pertinent information to 

the appropriate Federal, State, or local 

agency responsible for investigating, 

prosecuting, enforcing, or implementing 

a statute, rule, regulation, or order, 

when the FLRA becomes aware of an 

indication of a violation or potential 

violation of civil or criminal law or 

regulation. 

b. To disclose information to any 

source from whom additional 

information is requested in the course of 

processing an appeal or administrative 

review procedure, to the extent 

necessary to identify the individual, 

inform the source of the purpose(s) of 

the request, and identify the type of 

information requested. 

c. To disclose information 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, a security or 

suitability investigation of an 

individual, the classifying of jobs, 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. 

d. To provide information to a 

congressional office from the record of 

an individual in response to an inquiry 

from that congressional office made at 

the request of that individual. 

e. In an appropriate proceeding before 

a court, grand jury, or administrative or 

adjudicative body, when the FLRA

when the adjudicator determines the 

records to be relevant to the proceeding.

Office of Personnel Management in the 

production of summary descriptive 

statistics and analytical studies in 

support of the function for which the 

records are collected and maintained, or 

for related work-force studies. While 

published statistics and studies do not 

contain individual identifiers, in some 

instances, the selection of elements of 

data included in the study may be 

structured in such a way as to make the 

data individually identifiable by 

inference. 

h. To disclose, in response to a 

request for discovery or for appearance 

of a witness, information that is relevant 

to the subject matter involved in a 

pending judicial or administrative 

proceeding.

of: The Merit Systems Protection Board, 

the Office of Special Counsel, or the 

Equal Employment Opportunity 

Commission, when requested in 

performance of their authorized duties. 

j. To appropriate agencies, entities, 

and persons when (1) the FLRA 

suspects or has confirmed that there has 

been a breach of the system of records; 

(2) the FLRA has determined that as a 

result of the suspected or confirmed 

breach there is a risk of harm to 

individuals, the FLRA (including its 

information systems, programs, and 

operations), the Federal Government, or 

national security; and (3) the disclosure 

made to such agencies, entities, and 

persons is reasonably necessary to assist 

in connection with the FLRA’s efforts to 

respond to the suspected or confirmed 

breach or to prevent, minimize, or 

remedy such harm. 

k. To another Federal agency or 

Federal entity, when the FLRA 

determines that information from this 

system of records is reasonably 

necessary to assist the recipient agency 

or entity in (1) responding to a 

suspected or confirmed breach or (2) 

preventing, minimizing, or remedying 

the risk of harm to individuals, the 

recipient agency or entity (including its 

information systems, programs, and 

operations), the Federal Government, or 

national security, resulting from a 

suspected or confirmed breach. 

l. To contractors, grantees, experts, 

consultants, students, and others 

performing or working on a contract, 

service, grant, cooperative agreement, or 

other assignment for the federal

to this system of records.
