Appendix 4 - AFRL Privacy Act for Covered Individuals.pdf

This is a Privacy Act Statement from the Air Force Research Laboratory that must accompany federal contract, grant, and cooperative agreement applications and awards.

The statement outlines the authority for information collection under multiple federal statutes and regulations, including the Government Paperwork Elimination Act, Executive Orders, and DoD directives related to national security and personnel security. The collected information will be used to process, investigate, and maintain records relevant to Federal Grants, Cooperative Agreements, Contracts, and Other Transaction Agreements awarded by the Department of the Air Force. The information may be disclosed to appropriate Federal, State, local, territorial, tribal, foreign, or international law enforcement authorities when records indicate a violation or potential violation of law. Providing information is voluntary; however, 42 U.S. Code § 6605 imposes disclosure requirements for Federal research and development awards, and failure to provide information may result in rejection of applications through civil or criminal remedies. The statement requires acknowledgment of consent with signature and date from both the covered individual and the institution's authorized representative, along with the institution name and proposal title.
