| <p><strong>IV. Privacy</strong></p> |
| <p>Agencies should review the OMB memorandum entitled </p> |
| <p>``Safeguarding Personally Identifiable Information,'' dated May 22, </p> |
| <p>2006, and ensure that their respective telework technology </p> |
| <p>infrastructures, practices and procedures are in compliance with </p> |
| <p>that memorandum and the Privacy Act. The OMB memorandum reemphasizes </p> |

| <p>other things, the Privacy Act requires each agency to establish:</p> |
| <p>``Rules of conduct for persons involved in the design, development, </p> |
| <p>operation, or maintenance of any system of records, or in </p> |
| <p>maintaining any record, and instruct each such person with respect </p> |
| <p>to such rules and the requirements of [the Privacy Act], including </p> |
| <p>any other rules and procedures adopted pursuant to [the Privacy Act] </p> |
| <p>and the penalties for noncompliance;'' [and]</p> |
| <p>``appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to </p> |
| <p>insure the security and confidentiality of records and to protect </p> |
| <p>against any anticipated threats or hazards to their security or </p> |
| <p>integrity which could result in substantial harm, embarrassment, </p> |
| <p>inconvenience, or unfairness to any individual on whom information </p> |
| <p>is maintained.'' (5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(9)-(10))</p> |
