# §686.950. What procedures apply to disclosure of information about Job Corps students and program activities?

- (a) The Secretary develops procedures to respond to requests for information or records or other necessary disclosures pertaining to students.
- (b) Department disclosure of Job Corps information must be handled according to the Freedom of Information Act and according to Department regulations at [29 CFR part 70](/cfr/29/part70.md).
- (c) **Job Corps contractors are not “agencies” for Freedom of Information Act purposes.** Therefore, their records are not subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act or [29 CFR part 70](/cfr/29/part70.md).
- (d) The regulations at [29 CFR part 71](/cfr/29/part71.md) apply to a system of records covered by the Privacy Act of 1974 maintained by the Department or to a similar system maintained by a contractor, such as a screening agency, contract center operator, or career transition service provider on behalf of the Job Corps.
