This Order provides General Services Administration’s (GSA) policy on releasing information relating to GSA employees, contractors, and others on whom GSA maintains information described herein.
This Order cancels and supersedes CIO 9297.1 GSA Data Release Policy, dated March 18, 2015.
a. Directive number changed to a new series of classification numbers for “Privacy Act and Personally Identifiable Information (PII)” related policies,
b. Outdated links updated,
c. Language simplified in several paragraphs throughout the document, and
d. “Home Address” and “Emergency Contact Information,” added to listing (paragraph 7.b).
Under this Order, GSA continues to comply with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and the Privacy Act, which require a balance between the public’s right of access to Federal Government documents and the privacy rights of Federal employees, contractors, and others associated with the Federal Government, whose records are maintained by Federal agencies.
This Order applies to:
a. All GSA employees and contractors that release GSA records to the public via the FOIA or via other records requests and those who collect, maintain, disseminate, use, manage, or come in contact with personally identifiable or sensitive information owned by GSA.
b. The Office of Inspector General (OIG) to the extent that the OIG determines it is consistent with the OIG’s independent authority under the Inspector General Act and it does not conflict with other OIG policies or the OIG mission.
