36. PRIVACY ACT WARNING LABELS
Using warning labels indicating that particular records are subject
to the Privacy Act and require protection from unauthorized disclosure
should be left to the discretion of each Department of Defense
(DoD) component. In accordance with 5 U.S.C. § 552a(e)(10),
agencies are required to establish appropriate safeguards for
records and warning labels likely would be appropriate in many
cases. However, no standard warning label produced within or
outside the DoD appears to be entirely satisfactory for all DoD
components in all cases. Therefore, each component in its discretion
may adopt existing labels or design its own labels and prescribe
their internal use.
