II. Privacy Act
The Privacy Act of 1974, as amended,
embodies fair information practice
principles in a statutory framework
governing the means by which Federal
Agencies collect, maintain, use, and

‘‘system of records’’ is a group of any
records under the control of an agency
for which information about an
individual is retrieved by the name or
by some identifying number, symbol, or
other identifying particular assigned to
the individual. The Privacy Act defines
an individual as a United States citizen
or lawful permanent resident. As a
matter of policy, DOI extends
administrative Privacy Act protections
to all individuals. Individuals may
request access to their own records that
are maintained in a system of records in
the possession or under the control of
