While the content of
applications is subject to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA),
reviewers should not disclose information contained in applications
as it is the role of the Department of Agriculture, not the
reviewer, to determine whether such information is releasable
pursuant to the FOIA. For this reason, confidentiality must be
maintained--therefore please DO NOT copy, quote, or otherwise use
material from this application. If you believe that a colleague can
make a substantial contribution to the review, consult with the
appropriate National Program Leader before disclosing either the
contents of the application or the applicant's name. When you
complete the review, please destroy the application and maintain its
confidentiality. If you are unable to review, please contact the
respective National Program Leader, destroy the application and
maintain its confidentiality.
