41 CFR 105-64.105: -64.105 When may Social Security Numbers (SSNs) be collected?
Where this section sits in the code
- Title 41—Public Contracts and Property Management
- Subtitle C—Federal Property Management Regulations System
- CHAPTER 105—GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION
- PART 105-64—GSA PRIVACY ACT RULES
- Subpart 105-64.1—Policies and Responsibilities
(a) Statutory or regulatory authority must exist for collecting Social Security Numbers for record systems that use the SSNs as a method of identification. Systems without statutory or regulatory authority implemented after January 1, 1975, will not collect Social Security Numbers.
(b) In compliance with OMB M-07-16 (Safeguarding Against and Responding to the Breach of Personally Identifiable Information) collection and storage of SSN will be limited to systems where no other identifier is currently available. While GSA will strive to reduce the collection and storage of SSN and other PII we recognize that some systems continue to need to collect this information.
