Abstract: OMB M-21-04 provides guidance for Federal agencies to modernize the processes by which individuals may request access to, and consent to the disclosure of, records protected under the Privacy Act of 1974.

The request and consent forms, hosted at www.usda.gov/privacy-policy/privacy-office, will allow individuals to electronically request privacy records from the USDA. Information collected in this form will allow the USDA to locate any privacy records and submit to the identity-proofed requestor.
