SPECIFIC QUESTIONS
1.
Describe the project and its purpose:
The SAFETY Act provides important legal liability protections for providers of
Qualified Anti‐Terrorism Technologies‐whether they are products or services. The
goal is to encourage the development and deployment of new and innovative anti‐
terrorism products and services by providing liability protections.
2.
Status of Project:

This an existing project.
Date first developed: July 11, 2003
Date last updated: July 10, 2006
July 10, 2006 is the date the final rule became effective. Streamlined
application kit August 16th , 2006
3.
Could the project relate in any way to an individual?∗
No.
Yes. Please provide a general description, below.
The SAFETY Act protections apply to Products and/or Services. You may have a
Service that consists of consultants. The information gathered would relate to the
business i.e. their experience and not the individual consultants.
4.
What information about individuals could be collected, generated or retained?
Information would be related to the business, i.e. POC, name of the company,
address, email, phone, etc.
5.
∗
Is the contact information limited to non‐sensitive personally identifiable information? An
example of sensitive personally identifiable information is the social security number or date of
birth.
Projects can relate to individuals in a number of ways. For example, a project may include a camera for
the purpose of watching a physical location. Individuals may walk past the camera and images of those
individuals may be recorded. Projects could also relate to individuals in more subtle ways. For example, a
project that is focused on detecting radioactivity levels may be sensitive enough to detect whether an
individual received chemotherapy.
