PART 401_PRIVACY AND DISCLOSURE OF OFFICIAL RECORDS AND INFORMATION--Table 
of Contents
 
        Subpart C_Disclosure of Official Records and Information
 
Sec. 401.160  Health or safety.

    The Privacy Act allows us to disclose information in compelling 
circumstances where an individual's health or safety is affected. For 
example, if we learn that someone has been exposed to an excessive 
amount of radiation, we may notify that person and appropriate health 
officials. If we learn that someone has made a threat against someone 
else, we may notify that other person and law enforcement officials. 
When we make these disclosures, the Privacy Act requires us to send a 
notice of the disclosure to the last known address of the person whose 
record was disclosed.
