General Prefatory Statement

A. Universal Routine Uses of the Records

    The following routine uses of the records apply to and are 
incorporated by reference into each system of records published below 
unless the text of a particular notice of a system of records indicates 
otherwise. These routine uses do not apply to DOL/OASAM-5, 
Rehabilitation and Counseling File; DOL/OASAM-7, Employee Medical 
Records, and DOL/CENTRAL-3, Internal Investigations of Harassing 
Conduct.
    1. To disclose the records 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) the United States Government, 
is a party to litigation or has an interest in such litigation, and by 
careful review, the agency determines that the records are both 
relevant and necessary to the litigation, and the use of such records 
by the Department of Justice is for a purpose that is compatible with 
the purpose for which the agency collected the records.
    2. To disclose the records in a proceeding before a court or 
adjudicative body, 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; or (d) 
the United States Government, is a party to litigation or has an 
interest in such litigation, and by careful review, the agency 
determines that the records are both relevant and necessary to the 
litigation, and that the use of such records is for a purpose that is 
compatible with the purpose for which the agency collected the records.
    3. When a record on its face, or in conjunction with other 
information, 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, disclosure may be made to the 
appropriate agency, whether Federal, foreign, State, local, or tribal, 
or other public authority responsible for enforcing, investigating or 
prosecuting such violation or charged with enforcing or implementing 
the statute, or rule, regulation, or order issued pursuant thereto, if 
the agency determines by careful review that the records or information 
are both relevant and necessary to any enforcement, regulatory, 
investigative or prosecutive responsibility of the receiving entity, 
and that the use of such records or information is for a purpose that 
is compatible with the purposes for which the agency collected the 
records.
    4. To a Member of Congress or to a Congressional staff member in 
response to an inquiry of the Congressional office made at the written 
request of the constituent about whom the record is maintained.
    5. To the National Archives and Records Administration or to the 
General Services Administration for records management inspections 
conducted pursuant to 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906.
    6. To disclose to contractors, employees of contractors, 
consultants, grantees, and volunteers who have been engaged to assist 
the agency in the performance of or working on a contract, service, 
grant, cooperative agreement or other activity or service for the 
Federal Government.

    Note: Recipients shall be required to comply with the 
requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a; 
see also 5 U.S.C. 552a(m).

    7. To the parent locator service of the Department of Health and 
Human Services or to other authorized persons defined by Public Law 93-
647 (42 U.S.C. 653(c)) the name and current address of an individual 
for the purpose of locating a parent who is not paying required child 
support.
    8. To any source from which information is requested in the course 
of a law enforcement or grievance investigation, or in the course of an 
investigation concerning retention of an employee or other personnel 
action, the retention of a security clearance, the letting of a 
contract, the retention of a grant, or the retention of any other 
benefit, 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.
    9. To a Federal, State, local, foreign, tribal, or other public 
authority of the fact that this system of records contains information 
relevant to the hiring or retention of an employee, the granting or

suspension or debarment determination or the issuance or retention of a 
license, grant, or other benefit.

    12. To the news media and the public when (1) the matter under 
investigation has become public knowledge, (2) the Solicitor of Labor 
determines that disclosure is necessary to preserve confidence in the 
integrity of the Department or is necessary to demonstrate the 
accountability of the Department's officers, employees, or individuals 
covered by this system, or (3) the Solicitor of Labor determines that 
there exists a legitimate public interest in the disclosure of the 
information, provided the Solicitor of Labor determines in any of these 
situations that the public interest in disclosure of specific 
information in the context of a particular case outweighs the resulting 
invasion of personal privacy.
