Principal Purposes for Which the Information is Solicited - The principal purpose for which the information
is solicited is for use in delinquent debt collection. The routine uses which may be made of the information
are: (1) Referral to other Federal, State, local or foreign investigative, prosecuting, or enforcement
agencies; (2) Disclosure to the U.S. Department of Justice for use in litigation; (3) Disclosure to a court or
adjudicative body in a proceeding when the use of such records is therefore deemed by the Agency to be
for a purpose that is compatible with the purpose for which the Agency collected the records; (4)
Disclosure may be made to a congressional office from the record of an individual in response to an
inquiry from the congressional office made at the request of that Individual; (5) Information contained in
this system of records may be disclosed to a debt collection agency when the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) determines such referral is appropriate for collecting the debtor's account as provided
for in U.S. Government contracts with the collection agencies executed pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 3718; (6)
Where prior collection efforts have failed, the USDA will refer to the U.S. Department of the Treasury
information from this system of records concerning past due legally enforceable debts for offset against
tax refunds that may become due the debtors for the tax year in which referral is made in accordance with
Internal Revenue Service regulations at 26 CFR 301.6402-6T, offset of past-due Legally Enforceable
Debt Against Overpayment, and under the authority contained in 31 U.S.C. 3720A; (7) Information
contained in this system of records may be disclosed to a consumer reporting agency in accordance with
31 U.S.C. 3711 (f); (8) Information contained in this system of records, related to non-tax debts or claims
that are delinquent for 180 days, will be sent to the Department of the Treasury or to other Federal
agencies designated by the Secretary of the Treasury for the purpose of offsetting Federal payments to
collect delinquent debts, owed to the Federal Government. Records will be matched by Taxpayer
Identification Number (TIN) and name. For an Individual, the TIN is the social security number. For a
business, the TIN is the Employee Identification Number. The release of this information is in accordance
with 31 U.S.C. 3716 and 4 CFR part 102. Failure to provide the solicited information will not subject you
to penalties or adverse consequences.
