Principal Purpose(s) for Which Information Collected is to be Used: This Form collects your Personally Identifiable Information (PII) to be used by USAID to process your request in exercise of your rights to your records under the Privacy Act or to locate and provide you, as a requester under FOIA, records responsive to your FOIA request. Privacy Act rights are exercisable only by requesters who are U.S. citizens or aliens lawfully admitted for permanent residence.

Routine Uses: Information in your records is used for identification. In connection with a Privacy Act request, the information also enables USAID to locate records in its systems of records associated with requestor. This information may also be disclosed in accordance with any current and future blanket routine uses established for the systems of records applicable to this collection. Use and disclosure of your information outside of USAID may also occur in accordance 5 U.S.C. 552a(b) of the Privacy Act and in accordance with the other routine uses set out in USAID-25, the USAID system of records notice (SORN) referenced below.

Whether Disclosure is Mandatory or Voluntary and Effect on Individual of Not Providing Information: Providing the information required by the USAID Form 507-1, Certification, is voluntary. However, failure to provide the requested information may result in USAID not being able to process your request under the Privacy Act or 1974 or FOIA, as appropriate.

SORN: USAID-25, Freedom of Information Act, Privacy Act, and Mandatory Declassification Review Requests Records (79 FR 7164, February 6, 2014).

1 Individuals submitting a request under the Privacy Act of 1974 must be either “a citizen of the United States or an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence,” pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 552a(a)(2). Requests will be processed as Freedom of Information Act requests pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 552, rather than Privacy Act requests, for individuals who are not United States citizens or aliens lawfully admitted for permanent residence.
