with the Privacy Act and this part.
    (b) A contractor and any employee of such contractor will be 
considered employees of SSA only for the purposes of the criminal 
penalties of the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a(i), and the employee 
standards of conduct (see appendix A of this part) where the contract 
contains a provision requiring the contractor to comply with the Privacy 
Act and this part.

a contractor as a result of his management discretion, e.g., the 
contractor's personnel records.
