Privacy Program
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Privacy Program is based on the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. § 552a, all public-facing sites and/or forms requesting personal information will display or link to the NLRB privacy notice. The NLRB protects your information in accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the E-Government Act of 2002, P.L. 107-347, and the Federal Records Act, 44 U.S.C. § 3301 et seq. The NLRB is committed to protecting individual privacy and securing the personal information made available to us when you visit NLRB.gov.
A system of records is defined by the Privacy Act of 1974 as a group of any records under the control of any agency from which information is retrieved by the name of an individual or by some identifying number, symbol, or other identifying particular assigned to the individual. Rules exempting systems of records from certain Privacy Act requirements are in 29 C.F.R. 102.119(h)-(r).
By federal law and regulation, privacy issues and protections must be considered for information technology systems that contain personally identifiable information. To fulfill these legal and regulatory obligations, NLRB uses the Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA).
By conducting PIAs, the NLRB ensures that:
- The information collected is used only for the intended purpose.
- The information is timely and accurate.
- The information is protected according to applicable laws and regulations while in the NRLB’s possession.
- The impact of the information systems on individual privacy is fully addressed.
- The public is aware of the information that NLRB collects and how the information is used.

Instructions for submitting a Privacy Act request
The Privacy Act permits an individual to gain access to records or any information pertaining to that individual which is contained in a system of records, subject to certain limitations and exemptions. Procedures for requesting access to records under the Privacy Act can be found at 29 C.F.R. 119(a), (b), (c), and (d).
Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)
Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) is information that requires safeguarding or dissemination controls pursuant to and consistent with applicable law, regulations, and government-wide policies but is not classified under Executive Order 13526 or the Atomic Energy Act, as amended.
Executive Order (EO) 13556, Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), 75 Fed. Reg. 68,675 (Nov. 9, 2010), establishes a program for managing CUI across the Executive branch and designates the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) as Executive Agent to implement the Order and oversee agency actions to ensure compliance.
NARA issued 32 CFR Part 2002, Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), to establish policy for agencies on designating, safeguarding, disseminating, marking, decontrolling, and disposing of CUI, self-inspection and oversight requirements, and other facets of the CUI Program. The rule affects federal executive branch agencies that handle CUI and all organizations (sources) that handle, possess, use, share, or receive CUI—or which operate, use, or have access to Federal information and information systems on behalf of an agency.
To effectuate the requirements of NARA regulations, the NLRB has established a CUI Program. The NLRB’s Chief Information Officer serves as its CUI Senior Agency Official (SAO). The NLRB has issued a Limited CUI Marking Waiver, pursuant to 32 CFR 2002.38(a), waiving the requirement to mark CUI within the Agency; NLRB CUI will be marked only when disseminated outside the Agency.
