Special Factors Affecting Confidentiality Impact Determination: Where more sensitive information is involved, it will typically be personal information subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or other laws and executive orders affecting the dissemination of information regarding individuals. The Privacy Act Information provisional impact levels are documented in the Personal Identity and Authentication information type. In such cases, the consequences of unauthorized disclosure of permits and licensing information could be serious. In such cases, the confidentiality impact level might be moderate. Recommended Confidentiality Impact Level: The provisional confidentiality impact level recommended for most permits and licensing information is low.
