Privacy Act Guidance-Update

Citation
Office of Management and Budget, Privacy Act Guidance-Update (May 24, 1985) (full-text).

Overview
The OMB issued comprehensive Privacy Act Guidelines in 1975 and have updated them on an ad hoc basis since then. This Update focused on three issues:


 * Agencies' disclosure of personal information from systems of records during the course of litigation.
 * The disclosure of personal information from Privacy Act files pursuant to Section (b)(2), which allows agencies to make non-consensual disclosures if the disclosure would be "required" under the Freedom of Information Act.
 * The relationship between the exemption provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 and those of the Freedom of Information Act.
