    (1) The disclosure is required by law; or

    (2) The disclosure is from a system of records in existence and 

operating before January 1, 1975, and was required under statute or 

regulation adopted before that date to verify the identity of the 

individual(s).

    (b) Any time individuals are requested to disclose their social 

security numbers, NASA shall indicate whether that disclosure is 

mandatory or voluntary, by what authority the numbers are requested, and 

what uses will be made of them.
