DOE Privacy Program Ensures Protection of Personally Identifiable Information

Note: Single-source report; awaiting corroboration.

The Department of Energy (DOE) Privacy Program, overseen by the Office of the Chief Information Officer, manages compliance with the Privacy Act of 1974 and Section 208 of the e-Government Act of 2002.

The program also ensures adherence to privacy directives from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and DOE-specific privacy policies.

A key objective is to integrate privacy protections into DOE operations, focusing on safeguarding personally identifiable information (PII) that is collected, used, maintained, retained, and shared across DOE programs.
