Pistachio-Apricot Granola
Pantry ingredients come together in crunchy homemade granola. Making your own granola means you can pick the mix-ins. Change up the nuts, fruits, and flavorings as you wish. The oat base and easy method stay the same.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Yield: Makes 5 cups
Source: Everyday Food, April 2011
- 3 cups rolled oats (not quick-cooking)
- 1 cup unsalted, shelled pistachios
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1 cup dried apricots, diced medium
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In a large bowl, combine oats and pistachios. In a small saucepan, combine butter, honey, cardamom, and salt over medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until butter melts, about 2 minutes. (Or, place ingredients in a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave until butter melts, 1 to 2 minutes; stir until combined.) Pour butter mixture over oat mixture and toss until oats and nuts are completely coated. Transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and spread in an even layer. Bake until oats are lightly golden, 30 to 35 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Let cool completely on sheet on a wire rack, 20 minutes, then stir in apricots.

Classic rock: Deep Purple-Fireball, Guns N Roses-Paradise City (on and off after the 5min mark), Van Halen-Hot for Teacher is a 2 bass off step pattern, Primus uses a ton of it, lots of it in Whitesnake and numerous hair bands (now considered classic rock, as is Metallica for that matter), STP had fills with 2 kicks, and when I saw them live Eric Kretz used it a lot actually, Man-O-War, Judas Priest, I seem to remember a Triumph song or two, Ginger Baker used both kicks as did Bill Ward at times. I wouldn't consider Tool metal either. It is there, not a big part of mainstream music, but it is there.
Just because double bass has a stigma of being only for metal is really a poor reason to disqualify the double pedal. You don't have to use it just for running your feet.

Andy Landers enters his 36th season at UGA seven wins shy of 850 victories with the Lady Bulldogs.
ATHENS, Ga. --- The Georgia Lady Bulldogs will play 19 games against teams that advanced to the postseason last spring during the 2014-15 season. In addition, 10 of 16 Southeastern Conference dates will air on television, with seven on the SEC Network and three on Fox Sports Net. Georgia's schedule was released on Friday along with the other 13 SEC teams.
"This will be an extremely challenging schedule," head coach Andy Landers said. "There are at least six teams on the non-conference schedule that will compete for their conference championship. And the SEC...while it has always been competitive, this year will be even more so. Our league, top to bottom, in the best."
The Lady Bulldogs open the season with a Friday-Sunday homestand the weekend of the Georgia-Auburn football game. Georgia will host Morgan State on Friday, Nov. 14 at 7 p.m. and then take on TCU two days later at 1 p.m. on Sunday afternoon.
The next week will feature road matchups with two power conference schools. Georgia will face Ohio State on Wednesday, Nov. 19 before traveling to Atlanta to take on Georgia Tech on Sunday, Nov. 23.
The Thanksgiving week features three games. The Lady Bulldogs will host back-to-back contests with Georgia Southern and Colgate on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively, and then travel to Tennessee Tech, Landers' alma mater, on Saturday, Nov. 29.
Georgia's remaining five non-conference games include a Thursday, Dec. 4 trip to Mercer; home games against Michigan State (Sunday, Dec. 7), Furman (Saturday, Dec. 20) and Belmont (Monday, Dec. 22); and a trip to Seton Hall on Sunday, Dec. 28.
The opening day of SEC play will shift from its traditional Thursday date to Friday, Jan. 2 for every school's league opener. Georgia will travel to Mississippi State for its initial conference outing. The Lady Bulldogs' home-and-home SEC foes this winter will be Florida, Auburn and Tennessee.
League games that will televised on the SEC Network are Sunday, Jan. 11 at Auburn; Sunday, Jan. 25 at Tennessee; Sunday, Feb. 1 at Kentucky; Thursday, Feb. 5 vs. South Carolina; Monday, Feb. 9 at Arkansas; Thursday, Feb. 26 vs. Tennessee; and Sunday, March 1 at Florida. FOX Sports Net will air games against Alabama on Sunday, Jan. 4; Vanderbilt on Sunday, Jan. 18; and Auburn on Sunday, Feb. 22. Additional non-conference TV dates could be added in the future.
Georgia's 11 games against 2014 NCAA Tournament participants will come against Georgia Tech, Michigan State, Vanderbilt, Texas A&M, Tennessee (twice), Kentucky, South Carolina, Florida (twice) and LSU. The eight contests versus WNIT teams from last season are TCU, Furman, Belmont, Seton Hall, Mississippi State, Missouri and Auburn (twice).
The Lady Bulldogs will return four starters - guards Shacobia Barbee and Erika Ford and forwards Krista Donald and Merritt Hempe - and six additional letterwinners from last season. In addition, six newcomers will join the Georgia roster this fall - four freshmen and two transfers.
Georgia finished 20-12 a year ago, the 29th 20-win season in Landers' 35 years at UGA. The Lady Bulldogs also earned their 31st NCAA Tournament bid, second-most of any program in the nation. Georgia has appeared in each of the past 20 NCAA Tournaments. All told, the Lady Bulldogs have advanced to 20 "Sweet 16s," 11 "Elite Eights," five Final Fours and finished as NCAA runners-up in both 1985 and 1996.
The Georgia staff got a jump on preparations for the upcoming season during the Lady Bulldogs' 10-day, three-game exhibition tour of Italy earlier this month. Georgia won all three of its contests in Italy by an average of 34.0 points per game.
"Our trip to Italy has allowed our coaches and players to assess where we stand," Landers said. "We know more going into the fall than we would have otherwise. We have the pieces. Now, we must create a competitive team."
Landers enters the upcoming season within reach of two significant milestones. He has 843 victories at the University of Georgia (seven shy of 850) and 925 wins as a collegiate head coach (25 away from 950).
Season tickets for Lady Bulldog Basketball are just $40 and include reserved seats for all 16 homes games. Season tickets are now on sale by calling the UGA Ticket Office at 1-877-542-1231 or online here.

Triond Ulsterman Quits Writing About Obama, White House Insider Not Real After All?
Triond Ulsterman Quits Writing, White House Insider Not Real After All?…
President Obama: Triond Ulsterman Should be Arrested (Seize Him)
While Ulsterman still writes articles on Triond, it seems that he is loosing his touch with reality.
Before I thought that Ulsterman's articles have some value but I must admit that the quality of Ulsterman's articles is going down.
How Much Do You Know About Ulster? (Ulster Society Short Description)
Northern Ireland is often referred to as Ulster and that is the meaning of the term that we will use in this basic description.
Obama Has a Drug Problem? Just Wait for Ulsterman to Find Out About This!
Just wait for Ulsterman to find out about this!
I am sure he will be happy like a little child and publish article about it right away…
The Ulsterman's Report: Husein Obama is to Blame (There is No White America)
USA was always like a role model for other countries.
Example that other countries should follow.
I still remember the time when word American had completely different meaning than it has today.
Obama Mccain Family Story (Birth Certificate)
In Africa, long time ago, white settlers came.
They came to kill, colonize and enslave.
"Civilization", what a great word…
Obama; We are Change, Ulsterman Must be Stopped!
Our beloved president finally decided to move on.
Order from the top that the Triond writer Ulsterman must be stopped at all costs is kind of surprise because nobody believed that Obama would say it openly.
Ulsterman's? Negative Comments Posted by Members Without Picture and Profile

It's not much, but it's better than nothing. Check out The Simpsons The Movie teaser that runs before Ice Age 2. If that's not enough for you, Ain't It Cool News has a Ridiculously Minor Spoiler today. I feel like such a tease, but it's the best I can do. Can't wait for 2K7.
Lindsay Lohan: Revolutionary
Nip Slips are so last year. Lindsay Lohan showed us the future last night… at Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Awards, of all places. So pay attention kids– nipples are out, ass slips are in.
The ass slip movement has already swung into full gear, with elementary school teachers from coast to coast calling in to announce that several attention seeking pre-teens with a history of poor decision making and a killer coca-cola addiction have already begun to "accidentally" slip out of their Underoos. It's true. Lindsay has made Ass Slips the new Pokemon.
Click below to see the money shot that started the revolution, or just head over to Egotastic to see a whole bunch of Lindsay Lohan money shots. Umm, that sounded dirty. Sorry about that.
It's Been The Best Week Ever
It's been a big week.
Naomi Campbell attacked her assistant, a leprechaun took over the internet, Wilmer Valderamma spilled the beans, Kevin Smith called Reese Witherspoon a C-you-next-tuesday, we saw how cracked-out Whitney really is, and Fergie's boyfriend went into hiding. And that's just the beginning!
Tune in to VH1 tonight at 11 and all weekend long for a brand new episode of Best Week Ever. And for your viewing pleasure, straight from the editing room, we have this week's Best Drinking Game Ever for you. Ready?
When you're watching the show, drink* everytime you hear a reference made to a woman's… um… hoo ha. You know. That Sharon Stone part. Got it? Okay, so there you have it. Enjoy the show.
*by drink we mean a non-alcoholic beverage, of course. i mean, we would never endorse binge drinking. no. of course not. unless you're buying.
Real World: Podunk?
Look, I will always watch the Real World, whether it takes place on a tropical island or in a bunker in Libya. But I can't help noticing, the cities they're basing the shows in are getting less and less, well, cool.
Paris, San Francisco, New York, Hawaii. There was a time when people wanted to get on the show just to live in a really cool place. But somewhere around Boston or even Chicago, the locations lost their "wow" factor. And then came Philadelphia. I'm sure it's a great place if you're born and raised there, but in spite of its Liberty Bell, it's not a mecca for youthful discovery. And as pretty as Key West must be, when Jimmy Buffett is a town's biggest star, it doesn't bode well for young urban hipsters.
But now for the breaking news: next season of the Real World will reportedly take place on the campus of Lake Superior State University in Michigan! Is this some kind of joke? I'm sure northern Michigan is beautiful, but I'm positive the moose population out-numbers humans 5 to 1. Nevertheless as long there's booze, jocks and a hot tub, I will always be a humble servant of the Real World.
(in the meantime check out gratuitous pics of the Key West crew at a recent Miami fashion show after the jump)
SIZZLER: Paris Hilton, The Documentary?
According to Miami Herald blogger Leslie Abravnal, some one is making a documentary on the one and only Paris Hilton . The uber-heiress was spotted at Miami's Opium nightclub on stage. She "commanded the microphone and did shout outs to all her friends in the crowd. As she did that, a camera crew captured every moment for her next dreadful project–a documentary on her life. "
That's the only information we have so far. But if this documentary is anything like her sex tape, it will expose more about the state of the nation than Farenheit 911 and the Fog of War combined.
Celebrate Your Wonder Showzen
Tonight is the premiere episode of the second season of MTV2's genius comedy program Wonder Showzen. If you're not already watching this, you're missing one of the funniest, most subversive and just…wrong shows ever created. Here's an appetizer:
Are Big Mistakes Having The Best Week Ever?
I think they are. Here are three examples why:
1) Keanu Reeves took a break from thinking just long enough to throw out this gem. Here's what he learned while filming a rape scene with Hilary Swank: "that some of the ladies don't mind it… Hah, that's awful to say."
2) Danny Glover plans on appearing at an early-evening news conference tonight with Cynthia McKinney, the Georgia congresswoman who punched a police officer. What are the first two words that pop into your head when you think of Danny Glover? They're Lethal Weapon, aren't they? Probably not the best person to have by your side when you're awaiting assault charges…
3) Basic Instinct 2. I'm no expert, but I'd say that when 71 of 77 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.com, are negative, the movie could prooooobably be classified as a mistake. In fact, I think that seals the deal: mistakes are having the best week ever.
You Cannot Petition Hot Topic With Prayer
There is an issue that is burning up the petition circuit. No, I'm not talking about puppy mills, though that is an excellent cause. I'm talking about Hot Topic, the only place for "young men and women between the ages of 12 and 22 who are passionate about rock music, pop culture and music-inspired fashion" to shop. What is the problem with Hot Topic? That depends on who you ask. It's either too goth, not punk enough, not in enough places, essential to San Francisco teens, or not in Australia. Before you decided which petition to sign, read the argument for each one after the jump…
The Daily Danza
If you saw a homeless person on the street wearing a birthday hat and rapping to pigeon you'd think: that dude's crazy. But what about when Tony Danza does it?

I'd be happy if we signed brooks. But I don't think its that big of a deal. I'd rather see Dunbar be given a shot. That dude is a hammer. OLB's aren't as important as they used to be. With all the passing that goes on in the league, defenses are in nickle and dime packages more and more. Where you really need a stud OLB is in run support and Dunbar brings more wood that what Brooks has at this point. I still hope we sign him for his coverage skills and leadership, but its not that big of a deal if the younger guys get a chance. I'm just glad Jason David got cut. Haven't been that happy to see a saint cut since Aaron Brooks.
Along with Deuce and Horn lets see......... His first year as starter he had Ricky WIlliams and Deuce. He had Horn, Willie Jackson, and later Stallworth. I know Stallworth didn't live up to his first round pick but he did ok for us. He went on to have a good year in Philly and a decent year in New England as well. Along with having a very good D, which one blogger already pointed out had 66 sacks, he had one of the best O lines in football. Roaf and Turley did a pretty good job protecting the ends. Plus, we had very good special teams with the beer man and Carney. So like I said, good D, good O line, good rbs and wrs, good special teams, and one stupid QB. I'm not saying he's the worst qb we've ever had cause lets face it, we've sucked at that position for most of our history. My all time order is Brees, Manning, and Hebert. Its hard to rank Arch and Bobby because they were both pretty good. If either one of them were playing right now in todays NFL with the weapons we have, they'd both be doing just as well as Brees. Brooks would still suck in whatever decade you want to choose. If he was so good, why did he have to take a deal in Oakland and where is he now? The only person I wanted to see cut more than Brooks is Jason David.
Brooks came in for Blake and went 3-3 to finish the season. Then he went 1-1 in the playoffs. The following years he went 9-7, 7-9, 8-8, 8-8, then 3-13. I'll give him the 3-13 because that was the year the storm hit. So not counting that year, we led our team to a .500 record in all of his starts. He was surrounded by good talent on that side of the ball and still couldn't get us over the hump. He had all the talent in the world, but sadly had the drive of Jeff George. Haslett is an idiot. While hitching his waggon to Brooks he let Delhomme and Marc Bulger go to other teams and do better than his guy. Everyone in the state knew Delhomme could play, except for Jim Haslett. I'll take a guy like Delhomme, who may lack talent but makes up for it in smarts and drive, than a Brooks. Drew Brees is the same type of QB. Not too big, not a strong arm, but very smart and a will to win. I say cut Brunell and keep Joey and the rook. If Brees goes down we're toast. We're not set up to just hand the ball off like the Titans do with Collins so we better have a backup that can move in the pocket and make plays. I'm not saying Joey is great but I always thought in the right system he could play. Brunell is just too old and slow to get the job done anymore. He'll look like Brad Johnson did for the Cowboys if we have to depend on him. If Joey came in and did something, then we'd have Brees's backup for years to come. If he stinks, we'll get a top draft pick. The best idea would be to turn off injuries like I do on my madden game. Then we'd go all the way.
The best unis in the league in my opinion is the detroit lions throw backs. Grey helmet, blue shirt with grey lettering, grey pants, and blue socks. Its simple, but it looks cool. The Saints should try a black helmet with a gold fleur de leis, gold shirts with gold numbers, black pants, and gold socks. They should take the louisiana patch off of the jersey. Keep it plain and simple.
Or we could just go with the FEMA logo and be done with it.
Thats a terrible idea. While I admit that a great qb makes a joe blow receiver look like an all pro, this would be an all around bad move. We struck gold with Colston. Getting luck like that doesn't happen very often. The Saints have tried getting a compliment to Colston for the past couple of years. They thought Henderson would step up, but he didn't. They spent decent money on Patten and that didn't work. They spent a large amount on Meachum and so far that didn't work. If the Saints were to let Moore go, we really don't know for sure that any of these guys would step up. We don't have but 1 first day pick in the draft at this point. So if you get rid of Moore, you would have to use your 1st round pick (not gonna happen), try and get lucky again in the late rounds (not likely), or you'll have to sign a veteran wr in free agency that might be a good fit for your team. There is only 1 free agent out there that we know has the heart, and the skills to mesh in our offense, and thats Lance Moore. Now, if you really want to talk about freeing up some coin by cutting a run of the mill player, then lets talk about shipping Reggie Bush out of town. Trading Bush and cutting Deuce would give us plenty of room to bring in some free agent help on D. It would also get us 2 or 3 picks extra for the draft. Not to mention that without Bush, Payton wouldn't feel obligated to try and get him the ball knowing he can't run for more than a 3.5 yard average. He's a good wr out of the backfield and has a nose for the endzone. So does Pierre Thomas. We could draft or sign a power back to off set Thomas and use the money and picks on D. Is it me or did it seem like the offense ran better with Bush on the sideline and Thomas breaking off long runs? There was a time when everybody thought Jimmy Johnson was crazy for trading away Hershall Walker. Just look how that turned out.
I thought that LT deserved the MVP in 2006. At the time, Phillip Rivers wasn't a very effective QB. The only receiver they had was Gates. They played in the AFC which was clearly the more dominate conference in 2006. The Saints went 10-6 and were the number 2 seed in the playoffs. Plus, LT broke a major record. I know that touchdown record has been broken several times in the past 15 years (Emmitt, Faulk, Alexander, LT), but it is still an important record. If Brees breaks Marino's record which has stood since 1984, he should be a lock no matter what the Saints record is. When you look at his situation, the numbers are unreal. His number 1 WR has been hurt all year. His new TE has been hurt and hasn't been very good when healthy. His supposed number 2 WR (Meachum) is a bust. His supposed number 3 WR (Patten) has come up missing. His supposed number 4 WR (Henderson) hasn't done anything. His number 1 RB has been injured for the last 4 games. His pounder RB has been hurt and old looking all season, and his starting FB has been hurt. Not to mention, he hasn't had a kicker to help out in those close games, and the revamped D looks like the unvamped D. The Saints spent 42 days on the road too. I don't think there is another player in NFL history who has done more with less. Even his coach seems to have lost his freaking mind. This thing will sort itself out. We still have more than a quarter of the season left to play.

Maybe we'll sign a kicker to take Grants place. Then cut him and sign another.
Why isn't Morten Andersen on this list. He's still money from 40 and in, and he can do it when it counts. They could sign Billy Cundiff for the kick offs and long field goals. Cut Harrington for now to make room on the roster. Also, what did the poor punter from the chargers game do that I didn't see.
At least Harrington is a white qb
As long as they don't screw us again by making us play our "home" game in tampa bay, I don't care where they end up. Jackson seems the best fit, followed by shreveport.
On a side note, whats the odds that the team leaves Jason David in new orleans? Just a thought.
The plan for this season was to get better preasure on the Qb with our front 4, and stop the run with our front 7 without bringing the safteys up. If that works, then the secondary will be better than last year regardless. Everyone has been talking about David's physical abilities. I don't think thats the problem. I think he is a little slow in the head. He hasn't grown at all since last season. If anything, he has gotten worse. Craft and Glenn have been around a while, and Porter looks good so far. Our corners need to be smart and keep the plays in front of them. Cutting David is the only thing to do, cause he just plain sucks.
I'll be the first to admit, I get tired of reading the same articles again and again, only with slight differences. I know Brees is a good guy. I know he is obsessed with being perfect within the offense. I don't have to read it everytime. They keep saying that Bush has taken a different approach this offseason. However, in 2 preseason games, he looks like he always has. Doesn't follow blockers, has no patience, and reverses field more times than I do on Madden. Still, he has a nose for the endzone and big play ability. They keep talking about how Deuce looks good in camp. He's 29 with 2 ACL operations, which makes him 31 in football math. Time to put him out to pasture and hand the keys to Thomas.
All of that being said, I would rather see the same articles over and over about our team, than to reread the same old junk about the artist formally known as pacman jones, chris henry, or doobie williams. Mickey Loomis and Payton have brought in good people that play football. I have always been, and will always be a Saints fan. Win or lose, I'd rather do it with good guys than a bunch of thugs.
Also, Jason David's mama doesn't even like him, so quit telling me he's good. He sucks, and the whole league knows it. We should trade him for a new brett favre jersey.
I like all the moves ths Saints have done this year. Everybody knew that the D was a problem. We trade for Vilma, draft Ellis and Porter, and sign Gay.
If everyone will remember the year the Saints won their 1st playoff game, the secondary was very weak. We had Mathis and Weary at the corners with Bellamy and Knight at saftey. However our front 4 was one of the best in the league. Johnson and Howard on the ends with Hand and Glover in the middle. That line got after the QB and plugged running lanes. There wasn't a need to bring up the saftey in run support like we have done the last few seasons.
Now I know David is terrible, but having a saftey will help. Gay may not be the answer either, but at least its new blood. McKenzie is coming off an injury. But this group will be greatly improved because of our front 4.
I love the Shockey move. I look at it as a back up plan just in case our D doesn't work out. If you can't keep the other team from scoring, then you have to be able to score 30pts a game. He brings a defensive mentality to the offense.
Portis is clearly the 5th best rb option for 2008. Addai is close, but the redskins give all the carries to portis. Plus you can "hand cuff" portis by selecting ledell betts late in the draft, just in case portis goes down. Betts was a beast in 06 when Portis was injured.
I think to be considered as one of the best teams ever, you have to be from New Orleans, therefore LSU should not be on the list. Also, I think the team or teams should have a combination of local and national success. Outside of New Orleans, does anyone in the country even know that the Zephyrs won the title? Also, was the entire city and country sitting on the edge of their seats for the AAA World Series? The '06 Saints captivated the country. It meant so much more than just a football season. Plus, let us not forget what that Saints win over the Rams felt like. The wieght that was lifted off of our sports shoulders for getting that W was long overdue. Anyway, here is the rest of it in my opinion.
1 - 2006 Saints
2 - 2000 Saints
3 - 2008 Hornets
4 - 1998 Green Wave
5 - The John Forcade years
Shouldn't we be doing the Top 5 worst moments in N.O. history? just a thought.
Deuce did good in 06 because the opposing D was so worried about Bush. Not taking anything away from Deuce, but the carries are starting to add up. I'm really not trying to be a homer, but I really hope the Saints draft Hester late. He is one of the best pounders in the draft. He could spell Deuce and eventually replace him, while Thomas could replace Stecker. Lets face it. This will be the last year Deuce plays for the Saints, no matter how well he comes back from ACL surgery. The best way to replace a fan favorite is to bring in another. That would give us Hester as our power, Bush as our weapon, and Thomas spelling them both. We have to start saving money at some point or our players will have to wash cars on saturdays.
I don't think that Payton and Loomis have drafted poorly. They got Bush, Evans, and one of the biggest steals in draft history in Colston. Last season, we took a gamble with Meachum. We'll have to wait and see how that turns out. I grant you that he may be a bust, but the jury is still out. What I love about Payton is that he has a great eye for talent, and he has no loyalty. In his first year, he sent Butterworth packing in favor of Colston. Then last season, he sent 4th round pick Pittman packing in favor of Thomas, who was undrafted. He isn't scared to pull the trigger. He doesn't keep you around just because he brought you in. Thats what Haslett did. Jim Haslett would still be our coach had he realized Aaron Brooks sucked. Everyone in the state knew it but him. In doing so, he let Delhomme go and never tried to develope Bulger. He stuck to his guns and it cost him his job. Payton doesn't do that.
I've been reading all the possible trades that the saints may do. I, along with every other LSU fan, would love to see Glenn Dorsey come to the black and gold. He is the best bet in all the draft. However, I don't think that is the best thing for our team. I think the saints should trade the 10th pick with the eagles for their 19th in exchange for sheppard. Then, use that pick on Kentwann Balmer from NC. That gives us a pro bowl corner, the 3rd best DT in the draft, and we still own our 2nd round pick. We have sold out of a draft once before. We shouldn't do it again.

Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: I got this recipe about 12-15 years ago from my brother. I don't know where he got it--most likely from a friend or the Times. We have laughed because I make this way more than he does. The original recipe calls for capers and I'm not sure why I began using caperberries instead, but I like them. People really seem to like this dish. It's easy to make, but takes a little time (but not too much) and then is best served at room temperature, which also makes it great for buffets, pot-lucks, easy preparation for home. Somehow I began serving it with roast/grilled chicken and fettucine tossed with a bit of butter and parmesan-reggiano. Especially in the summer it's my go-to company menu. —ellenl

September 26, 03
FROM: Joshua B. Bolten
SUBJECT: OMB Guidance for Implementing the Privacy Provisions of the
E-Government Act of 2002
The attached guidance provides information to agencies on implementing the privacy provisions of the E-Government Act of 2002, which was signed by the President on December 17, 2002 and became effective on April 17, 2003.
The Administration is committed to protecting the privacy of the American people.This guidance document addresses privacy protections when Americans interact with their government.The guidance directs agencies to conduct reviews of how information about individuals is handled within their agency when they use information technology (IT) to collect new information, or when agencies develop or buy new IT systems to handle collections of personally identifiable information.Agencies are also directed to describe how the government handles information that individuals provide electronically, so that the American public has assurances that personal information is protected.
The privacy objective of the E-Government Act complements the National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace.As the National Strategy indicates, cyberspace security programs that strengthen protections for privacy and other civil liberties, together with strong privacy policies and practices in the federal agencies, will ensure that information is handled in a manner that maximizes both privacy and security.
Section 208 of the E-Government Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-347, 44 U.S.C. Ch 36) requires that OMB issue guidance to agencies on implementing the privacy provisions of the E-Government Act (see Attachment A).The text of section 208 is provided as Attachment B to this Memorandum.Attachment C provides a general outline of regulatory requirements pursuant to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA").Attachment D summarizes the modifications to existing guidance resulting from this Memorandum.A complete list of OMB privacy guidance currently in effect is available at OMB's website.
As OMB has previously communicated to agencies, for purposes of their FY2005 IT budget requests, agencies should submit all required Privacy Impact Assessments no later than October 3, 2003.
For any questions about this guidance, contact Eva Kleederman, Policy Analyst, Information Policy and Technology Branch, Office of Management and Budget, phone (202) 395-3647, fax (202) 395-5167, e-mail email@example.com.
E-Government Act Section 208 Implementation Guidance
I. General
A.Requirements.Agencies are required to:
1.conduct privacy impact assessments for electronic information systems and collections and, in general, make them publicly available (see Section II of this Guidance),
2.post privacy policies on agency websites used by the public (see Section III),
3.translate privacy policies into a standardized machine-readable format (see Section IV), and
4.report annually to OMB on compliance with section 208 of the E-Government Act of 2002 (see Section VII).
B.Application. This guidance applies to:
1.all executive branch departments and agencies ("agencies") and their contractors that use information technology or that operate websites for purposes of interacting with the public;
2.relevant cross-agency initiatives, including those that further electronic government.
C.Modifications to Current Guidance.Where indicated, this Memorandum modifies the following three memoranda, which are replaced by this guidance (see summary of modifications at Attachment D):
1.Memorandum 99-05 (January 7, 1999), directing agencies to examine their procedures for ensuring the privacy of personal information in federal records and to designate a senior official to assume primary responsibility for privacy policy;
2.Memorandum 99-18 (June 2, 1999), concerning posting privacy policies on major entry points to government web sites as well as on any web page collecting substantial personal information from the public; and
3.Memorandum 00-13 (June 22, 2000), concerning (i) the use of tracking technologies such as persistent cookies and (ii) parental consent consistent with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA").
II. Privacy Impact Assessment
1.Individual - means a citizen of the United States or an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence.
2.Information in identifiable form - is information in an IT system or online collection: (i) that directly identifies an individual (e.g., name, address, social security number or other identifying number or code, telephone number, email address, etc.) or (ii) by which an agency intends to identify specific individuals in conjunction with other data elements, i.e., indirect identification.(These data elements may include a combination of gender, race, birth date, geographic indicator, and other descriptors).
3.Information technology (IT) - means, as defined in the Clinger-Cohen Act, any equipment, software or interconnected system or subsystem that is used in the automatic acquisition, storage, manipulation, management, movement, control, display, switching, interchange, transmission, or reception of data or information.
4.Major information system - embraces "large" and "sensitive" information systems and means, as defined in OMB Circular A-130 (Section 6.u.) and annually in OMB Circular A-11 (section 300-4 (2003)), a system or project that requires special management attention because of its: (i) importance to the agency mission, (ii) high development, operating and maintenance costs, (iii) high risk, (iv) high return, (v) significant role in the administration of an agency's programs, finances, property or other resources.
5.National Security Systems - means, as defined in the Clinger-Cohen Act, an information system operated by the federal government, the function, operation or use of which involves:(a) intelligence activities, (b) cryptologic activities related to national security, (c) command and control of military forces, (d) equipment that is an integral part of a weapon or weapons systems, or (e) systems critical to the direct fulfillment of military or intelligence missions, but does not include systems used for routine administrative and business applications, such as payroll, finance, logistics and personnel management.
6.Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) - is an analysis of how information is handled: (i) to ensure handling conforms to applicable legal, regulatory, and policy requirements regarding privacy, (ii) to determine the risks and effects of collecting, maintaining and disseminating information in identifiable form in an electronic information system, and (iii) to examine and evaluate protections and alternative processes for handling information to mitigate potential privacy risks.
7.Privacy policy in standardized machine-readable format - means a statement about site privacy practices written in a standard computer language (not English text) that can be read automatically by a web browser.
E.When to conduct a PIA:
1.The E-Government Act requires agencies to conduct a PIA before:
a.developing or procuring IT systems or projects that collect, maintain or disseminate information in identifiable form from or about members of thepublic, or
b.initiating, consistent with the Paperwork Reduction Act, a new electronic collection of information in identifiable form for 10 or more persons (excluding agencies, instrumentalities or employees of the federal government).
2.In general, PIAs are required to be performed and updated as necessary where a system change creates new privacy risks. For example:
a.Conversions -when converting paper-based records to electronic systems;
b.Anonymous to Non-Anonymous - when functions applied to an existing information collection change anonymous information into information in identifiable form;
c.Significant System Management Changes - when new uses of an existing IT system, including application of new technologies, significantly change how information in identifiable form is managed in the system:
§For example, when an agency employs new relational database technologies or web-based processing to access multiple data stores; such additions could create a more open environment and avenues for exposure of data that previously did not exist.
d.Significant Merging - when agencies adopt or alter business processes so that government databases holding information in identifiable form are merged, centralized, matched with other databases or otherwise significantly manipulated:
§For example, when databases are merged to create one central source of information; such a link may aggregate data in ways that create privacy concerns not previously at issue.
e.New Public Access - when user-authenticating technology (e.g., password, digital certificate, biometric) is newly applied to an electronic information system accessed by members of the public;
f.Commercial Sources - when agencies systematically incorporate into existing information systems databases of information in identifiable form purchased or obtained from commercial or public sources.(Merely querying such a source on an ad hoc basis using existing technology does not trigger the PIA requirement);
g.New Interagency Uses - when agencies work together on shared functions involving significant new uses or exchanges of information in identifiable form, such as the cross-cutting E-Government initiatives; in such cases, the lead agency should prepare the PIA;
§For example the Department of Health and Human Services, the lead agency for the Administration's Public Health Line of Business (LOB) Initiative, is spearheading work with several agencies to define requirements for integration of processes and accompanying information exchanges.HHS would thus prepare the PIA to ensure that all privacy issues are effectively managed throughout the development of this cross agency IT investment.
h.Internal Flow or Collection - when alteration of a business process results in significant new uses or disclosures of information or incorporation into the system of additional items of information in identifiable form:
§For example, agencies that participate in E-Gov initiatives could see major changes in how they conduct business internally or collect information, as a result of new business processes or E-Gov requirements.In most cases the focus will be on integration of common processes and supporting data.Any business change that results in substantial new requirements for information in identifiable form could warrant examination of privacy issues.
i.Alteration in Character of Data - when new information in identifiable formadded to a collection raises the risks to personal privacy (for example, theaddition of health or financial information)
3.No PIA is required where information relates to internal government operations, has been previously assessed under an evaluation similar to a PIA, or where privacy issues areunchanged, as in the following circumstances:
a.for government-run websites, IT systems or collections of information to the extent that they do not collect or maintain information in identifiable form about members of the general public (this includes government personnel and government contractors and consultants);
b.for government-run public websites where the user is given the option of contacting the site operator for the limited purposes of providing feedback (e.g., questions or comments) or obtaining additional information;
c.for national security systems defined at 40 U.S.C. 11103 as exempt from the definition of information technology (see section 202(i) of the E-Government Act);
d.when all elements of a PIA are addressed in a matching agreement governed by the computer matching provisions of the Privacy Act (see 5 U.S.C. §§ 552a(8-10), (e)(12), (o), (p), (q), (r), (u)), which specifically provide privacy protection for matched information;
e.when all elements of a PIA are addressed in an interagency agreement permitting the merging of data for strictly statistical purposes and where the resulting data are protected from improper disclosure and use under Title V of the E-Government Act of 2002;
f.if agencies are developing IT systems or collecting non-identifiable information for a discrete purpose, not involving matching with or retrieval from other databases that generates information in identifiable form;
g.for minor changes to a system or collection that do not create new privacy risks.
4.Update of PIAs:Agencies must update their PIAs to reflect changed information collection authorities, business processes or other factors affecting the collection and handling of information in identifiable form.
F.Conducting a PIA.
a.PIAs must analyze and describe:
i.what information is to be collected (e.g., nature and source);
ii.why the information is being collected (e.g., to determine eligibility);
iii.intended use of the information (e.g., to verify existing data);
iv.with whom the information will be shared (e.g., another agency for a specified programmatic purpose);
v.what opportunities individuals have to decline to provide information (i.e., where providing information is voluntary) or to consent to particular uses of the information (other than required or authorized uses), and how individuals can grant consent;
vi.how the information will be secured (e.g., administrative and technological controls); and
vii.whether a system of records is being created under the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a.
b.Analysis: PIAs must identify what choices the agency made regarding an IT system or collection of information as a result of performing the PIA.
2.Agencies should commence a PIA when they begin to develop a new or significantly modified IT system or information collection:
a.Specificity.The depth and content of the PIA should be appropriate for the nature of the information to be collected and the size and complexity of the IT system.
i.IT development stage.PIAs conducted at this stage:
1.should address privacy in the documentation related to systems development, including, as warranted and appropriate, statement of need, functional requirements analysis, alternatives analysis, feasibility analysis, benefits/cost analysis, and, especially, initial risk assessment;
2.should address the impact the system will have on an individual's privacy, specifically identifying and evaluating potential threats relating to each of the elements identified in section II.C.1.a.(i)-(vii) above, to the extent these elements are known at the initial stages of development;
3.may need to be updated before deploying the system to consider elements not identified at the concept stage (e.g., retention or disposal of information), to reflect a new information collection, or to address choices made in designing the system or information collection as a result of the analysis.
ii.Major information systems.PIAs conducted for these systems should reflect more extensive analyses of:
1.the consequences of collection and flow of information,
2.the alternatives to collection and handling as designed,
3.the appropriate measures to mitigate risks identified for each alternative and,
4.the rationale for the final design choice or business process.
iii.Routine database systems.Agencies may use a standardized approach (e.g., checklist or template) for PIAs involving simple systems containing routine information and involving limited use and access.
b.Information life cycle analysis/collaboration.Agencies must consider the information "life cycle" (i.e., collection, use, retention, processing, disclosure and destruction) in evaluating how information handling practices at each stage may affect individuals' privacy.To be comprehensive and meaningful, privacy impact assessments require collaboration by program experts as well as experts in the areas of information technology, IT security, records management and privacy.
3.Review and publication.
a.Agencies must ensure that:
i.the PIA document and, if prepared, summary are approved by a "reviewing official" (the agency CIO or other agency head designee, who is other than the official procuring the system or the official who conducts the PIA);
ii.for each covered IT system for which 2005 funding is requested, and consistent with previous guidance from OMB, the PIA issubmitted to the Director of OMB no later than October 3, 2003 (submitted electronically to firstname.lastname@example.com along with the IT investment's unique identifier as described in OMB Circular A-11, instructions for theExhibit 300); and
iii.the PIA document and, if prepared, summary, aremade publicly available (consistent with executive branch policy on the release of information about systems for which funding is proposed).
1.Agencies may determine to not make the PIA document or summary publicly available to the extent that publication would raise security concerns, reveal classified (i.e., national security) information or sensitive information (e.g., potentially damaging to a national interest, law enforcement effort or competitive business interest) contained in an assessment.Such information shall be protected and handled consistent with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
2.Agencies should not include information in identifiable form in their privacy impact assessments, as there is no need for the PIA to include such information.Thus, agencies may not seek to avoid making the PIA publicly available on these grounds.
G.Relationship to requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA).
1.Joint Information Collection Request (ICR) and PIA.Agencies undertaking new electronic information collections may conduct and submit the PIA to OMB, and make it publicly available, as part of the SF83 Supporting Statement (the request to OMB to approve a new agency information collection).
2.If Agencies submit a Joint ICR and PIA:
a.All elements of the PIA must be addressed and identifiable within the structure of the Supporting Statement to the ICR, including:
i.a description of the information to be collected in the response to Item 1 of the Supporting Statement;
ii.a description of how the information will be shared and for what purpose in Item 2 of the Supporting Statement;
iii.a statement detailing the impact the proposed collection will have on privacy in Item 2 of the Supporting Statement;
iv.a discussion in item 10 of the Supporting Statement of:
1.whether individuals are informed that providing the information is mandatory or voluntary
2.opportunities to consent, if any, to sharing and submission of information;
3.how the information will be secured; and
4.whether a system of records is being created under the Privacy Act).
b.For additional information on the requirements of an ICR, please consult your agency's organization responsible for PRA compliance.
3.Agencies need not conduct a new PIA for simple renewal requests for information collections under the PRA.As determined by reference to section II.B.2. above, agencies must separately consider the need for a PIA when amending an ICR to collect information that is significantly different in character from the original collection.
H.Relationship to requirements under the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S. C. 552a.
1.Agencies may choose to conduct a PIA when developing the System of Records (SOR) notice required by subsection (e)(4) of the Privacy Act, in that the PIA and SOR overlap in content (e.g., the categories of records in the system, the uses of the records, the policies and practices for handling, etc.).
2.Agencies, in addition, may make the PIA publicly available in the Federal Register along with the Privacy Act SOR notice.
3.Agencies must separately consider the need for a PIA when issuing a change to a SOR notice (e.g., a change in the type or category of record added to the system may warrant a PIA).
III. Privacy Policies on Agency Websites
I.Privacy Policy Clarification.To promote clarity to the public, agencies are required to refer to their general web site notices explaining agency information handling practices as the "Privacy Policy."
J.Effective Date.Agencies are expected to implement the following changes to their websites by December 15, 2003.
K.Exclusions:For purposes of web privacy policies, this guidance does not apply to:
1.information other than "government information" as defined in OMB Circular A-130;
2.agency intranet web sites that are accessible only by authorized government users (employees, contractors, consultants, fellows, grantees);
3.national security systems defined at 40 U.S.C. 11103 as exempt from the definition of information technology (see section 202(i) of the E-government Act).
L.Content of Privacy Policies.
1.Agency Privacy Policies must comply with guidance issued in OMB Memorandum 99-18 and must now also include the following two new content areas:
a.Consent to collection and sharing.Agencies must now ensure that privacy policies:
i.inform visitors whenever providing requested information is voluntary;
ii.inform visitors how to grant consent for use of voluntarily-provided information; and
iii.inform visitors how to grant consent to use mandatorily-provided information for other than statutorily-mandated uses or authorized routine uses under the Privacy Act.
b.Rights under the Privacy Act or other privacy laws.Agencies must now also notify web-site visitors of their rights under the Privacy Act or other privacy-protecting laws that may primarily apply to specific agencies (such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, the IRS Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998, or the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act):
i.in the body of the web privacy policy;
ii.via link to the applicable agency regulation (e.g., Privacy Act regulation and pertinent system notice); or
iii.via link to other official summary of statutory rights (such as the summary of Privacy Act rights in the FOIA/Privacy Act Reference Materials posted by the Federal Consumer Information Center at www.Firstgov.gov).
2.Agency Privacy Policies must continue to address the following, modified, requirements:
a.Nature, purpose, use and sharing of information collected.Agencies shouldfollow existing policies (issued in OMB Memorandum 99-18) concerning notice of the nature, purpose, use and sharing of information collected via the Internet, as modified below:
i.Privacy Act information.When agencies collect information subject to the Privacy Act, agencies are directed to explain what portion of the information is maintained and retrieved by name or personal identifier in a Privacy Act system of records and provide a Privacy Act Statement either:
1.at the point of collection, or
2.via link to the agency's general Privacy Policy.
ii."Privacy Act Statements."Privacy Act Statements must notify users of the authority for and purpose and use of the collection of information subject to the Privacy Act, whether providing the information is mandatory or voluntary, and the effects of not providing all or any part of the requested information.
iii.Automatically Collected Information (site management data).Agency Privacy Policies must specify what information the agency collects automatically (i.e., user's IP address, location, and time of visit) and identify the use for which it is collected (i.e., site management or security purposes).
iv.Interaction with children:Agencies that provide content to children under 13 and that collect personally identifiable information from these visitorsshould incorporate the requirements of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") into their Privacy Policies (see Attachment C).
v.Tracking and customization activities.Agencies are directed to adhere to the following modifications to OMB Memorandum 00-13 and the OMB follow-up guidance letter dated September 5, 2000:
1.Tracking technology prohibitions:
a.agencies are prohibited from using persistent cookies or any other means (e.g., web beacons) to track visitors' activity on the Internet except as provided in subsection (b) below;
b.agency heads may approve, or may authorize the heads of sub-agencies or senior official(s) reporting directly to the agency head to approve, the use of persistent tracking technology for a compelling need.When used, agency's must post clear notice in the agency's privacy policy of:
1 the nature of the information collected;
2 the purpose and use for the information;
3 whether and to whom the information will be disclosed; and
4 the privacy safeguards applied to the information collected.
c.agencies must report the use of persistent tracking technologies as authorized for use by subsection b. above (see section VII).
2.The following technologies are not prohibited:
a.Technology that is used to facilitate a visitor's activity within a single session (e.g., a "session cookie") and does not persist over time is not subject to the prohibition on the use of tracking technology.
b.Customization technology (to customize a website at the visitor's request) if approved by the agency head or designee for use (see v.1.b above) and where the following is posted in the Agency's Privacy Policy:
5 the purpose of the tracking (i.e., customization of the site);
6 that accepting the customizing feature is voluntary;
7 that declining the feature still permits the individual to use the site;and
8 the privacy safeguards in place for handling the information collected.
c.Agency use of password access to information that does not involve "persistent cookies" or similar technology.
vi.Law enforcement and homeland security sharing: Consistent with current practice, Internet privacy policies may reflect that collected information may be shared and protected as necessary for authorized law enforcement, homeland security and national security activities.
b.Security of the information.Agencies should continue to comply with existing requirements for computer security in administering their websitesand post the following information in their Privacy Policy:
i.in clear language, information about management, operational and technical controls ensuring the security and confidentiality of personally identifiable records (e.g., access controls, data storage procedures, periodic testing of safeguards, etc.), and
ii.in general terms, information about any additional safeguards used to identify and prevent unauthorized attempts to access or cause harm to information and systems.(The statement should be at a level to inform the public that their information is being protected while not compromising security.)
M.Placement of notices.Agencies should continue to follow the policy identified in OMB Memorandum 99-18 regarding the posting of privacy policies on their websites.Specifically, agencies must post (or link to) privacy policies at:
1.their principal web site;
2.any known, major entry points to their sites;
3.any web page that collects substantial information in identifiable form.
N.Clarity of notices.Consistent with OMB Memorandum 99-18, privacy policies must be:
1.clearly labeled and easily accessed;
2.written in plain language; and
3.made clear and easy to understand, whether by integrating all information and statements into a single posting, by layering a short "highlights" notice linked to full explanation, or by other means the agency determines is effective.
IV. Privacy Policies in Machine-Readable Formats
1.Agencies must adopt machine readable technology that alerts users automatically about whether site privacy practices match their personal privacy preferences.Such technology enables users to make an informed choice about whether to conduct business with that site.
2.OMB encourages agencies to adopt other privacy protective tools that become available as the technology advances.
P.Reporting Requirement.Agencies must develop a timetable for translating their privacy policies into a standardized machine-readable format.The timetable must include achievable milestones that show the agency's progress toward implementation over the next year.Agencies must include this timetable in their reports to OMB (see Section VII).
V. Privacy Policies Incorporated by this Guidance
In addition to the particular actions discussed above, this guidance reiterates general directives from previous OMB Memoranda regarding the privacy of personal information in federal records and collected on federal web sites.Specifically, existing policies continue to require that agencies:
Q.assure that their uses of new information technologies sustain, and do not erode, the protections provided in all statutes relating to agency use, collection, and disclosure of personal information;
R.assure that personal information contained in Privacy Act systems of records be handled in full compliance with fair information practices as set out in the Privacy Act of 1974;
S.evaluate legislative proposals involving collection, use and disclosure of personal information by the federal government for consistency with the Privacy Act of 1974;
T.evaluate legislative proposals involving the collection, use and disclosure of personal information by any entity, public or private, for consistency with the Privacy Principles;
U.ensure full adherence with stated privacy policies.
VI. Agency Privacy Activities/Designation of Responsible Official
Because of the capability of information technology to capture and disseminate information in an instant, all federal employees and contractors must remain mindful of privacy and their obligation to protect information in identifiable form.In addition, implementing the privacy provisions of the E-Government Act requires the cooperation and coordination of privacy, security, FOIA/Privacy Act and project officers located in disparate organizations within agencies.Clear leadership and authority are essential.
Accordingly, this guidance builds on policy introduced in Memorandum 99-05 in the following ways:
V.Agencies must:
1.inform and educate employees and contractors of their responsibility for protectinginformation in identifiable form;
2.identify those individuals in the agency (e.g., information technology personnel, Privacy Act Officers) that have day-to-day responsibility for implementing section 208 of the E-Government Act, the Privacy Act, or otherprivacy laws and policies.
3.designate an appropriate senior official or officials (e.g., CIO, AssistantSecretary) to serve as the agency's principal contact(s) for information technology/web matters and for privacy policies.The designated official(s) shall coordinate implementation of OMB web and privacy policy and guidance.
4.designate an appropriate official (or officials, as appropriate) to serve as the "reviewing official(s)" for agency PIAs.
W.OMB leads a committee of key officials involved in privacy that reviewed and helped shape this guidance and that will review and help shape any follow-on privacy and web-privacy-related guidance.In addition, as part of overseeing agencies' implementation of section 208, OMB will rely on the CIO Council to collect information on agencies' initial experience in preparing PIAs, to share experiences, ideas, and promising practices as well as identify any needed revisions to OMB's guidance on PIAs.
VII.Reporting Requirements
Agencies are required to submit an annual report on compliance with this guidance to OMB as part of their annual E-Government Act status report.The first reports are due to OMB by December 15, 2003.All agencies that use information technology systems and conduct electronic information collection activities must complete a report on compliance with this guidance, whether or not they submit budgets to OMB.
Reports must address the following four elements:
A. Information technology systems or information collections for which PIAs were conducted.Include the mechanism by which the PIA was made publicly available (website, Federal Register, other), whether the PIA was made publicly available in full, summary form or not at all (if in summary form or not at all, explain), and, if made available in conjunction with an ICR or SOR, the publication date.
B. Persistent tracking technology uses.If persistent tracking technology is authorized, include the need that compels use of the technology, the safeguards instituted to protect the information collected, the agency official approving use of the tracking technology, and the actual privacy policy notification of such use.
C. Agency achievement of goals for machine readability: Include goals for and progress toward achieving compatibility of privacy policies with machine-readable privacy protection technology.
D. Contact information.Include the individual(s) (name and title) appointed by the head of the Executive Department or agency to serve as the agency's principal contact(s) for information technology/web matters and the individual (name and title) primarily responsible for privacy policies.

Attachment C
This attachment is a summary by the Federal Trade Commission of its guidanceregarding federal agency compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
The hallmarks of COPPA for purposes of federal online activity are (i) notice of information collection practices (ii) verifiable parental consent and (iii) access, as generally outlined below:
§Notice of Information Collection Practices
Agencies whose Internet sites offer a separate children's area and collect personal information from them must post a clear and prominent link to its Internet privacy policy on the home page of the children's area and at each area where it collects personal information from children.The privacy policy should provide the name and contact information of the agency representative required to respond to parental inquiries about the site.Importantly, the privacy policy should inform parents about the kinds of information collected from children, how the information is collected (directly, or through cookies), how the information is used, and procedures for reviewing/deleting the information obtained from children.In addition, the privacy policy should inform parents that only the minimum information necessary for participation in the activity is collected from the child.
In addition to providing notice by posting a privacy policy, notice of an Internet site's information collection practices must be sent directly to a parent when a site is requesting parental consent to collection personal information from a child.This direct notice should tell parents that the site would like to collect personal information from their child, that their consent is required for this collection, and how consent can be provided.The notice should also contain the information set forth in the site's privacy policy, or provide an explanatory link to the privacy policy.
§Verifiable Parental Consent
With limited exceptions, agencies must obtain parental consent before collecting any personal information from children under the age of 13.If agencies are using the personal information for their internal use only, they may obtain parental consent through an e-mail message from the parent, as long as they take additional steps to increase the likelihood that the parent has, in fact, provided the consent.For example, agencies might seek confirmation from a parent in a delayed confirmatory e-mail, or confirm the parent's consent by letter or phone call.
However, if agencies disclose the personal information to third parties or the public (through chat rooms or message boards), only the most reliable methods of obtaining consent must be used. These methods include: (i) obtaining a signed form from the parent via postal mail or facsimile, (ii) accepting and verifying a credit card number in connection with a transaction, (iii) taking calls from parents through a toll-free telephone number staffed by trained personnel, or (iv) email accompanied by digital signature.
Although COPPA anticipates that private sector Internet operators may share collected information with third parties (for marketing or other commercial purposes) and with the public (through chat rooms or message boards), as a general principle, federal agencies collect information from children only for purposes of the immediate online activity or other, disclosed, internal agency use.(Internal agency use of collected information would include release to others who use it solely to provide support for the internal operations of the site or service, including technical support and order fulfillment.)By analogy to COPPA and consistent with the Privacy Act, agencies may not use information collected from children in any manner not initially disclosed and for which explicit parental consent has not been obtained.Agencies' Internet privacy policies should reflect these disclosure and consent principles.
COPPA's implementing regulations include several exceptions to the requirement to obtain advance parental consent where the Internet operator (here, the agency) collects a child's email address for the following purposes: (i) to provide notice and seek consent, (ii) to respond to a one-time request from a child before deleting it, (iii) to respond more than once to a specific request, e.g., for a subscription to a newsletter, as long as the parent is notified of, and has the opportunity to terminate a continuing series of communications, (iv) to protect the safety of a child, so long as the parent is notified and given the opportunity to prevent further use of the information, and (v) to protect the security or liability of the site or to respond to law enforcement if necessary.
Agencies should send a new notice and request for consent to parents any time the agency makes material changes in the collection or use of information to which the parent had previously agreed.Agencies should also make clear to parents that they may revoke their consent, refuse to allow further use or collection of the child's personal information and direct the agency to delete the information at any time.
At a parent's request, agencies must disclose the general kinds of personal information they collect online from children as well as the specific information collected from a child.Agencies must use reasonable procedures to ensure they are dealing with the child's parent before they provide access to the child's specific information, e.g., obtaining signed hard copy of identification, accepting and verifying a credit card number, taking calls from parents on a toll-free line staffed by trained personnel, email accompanied by digital signature, or email accompanied by a PIN or password obtained through one of the verification methods above.
In adapting the provisions of COPPA to their Internet operations, agencies should consult the FTC's web site at http://www.ftc.gov/privacy/privacyinitiatives/childrens.html or call the COPPA compliance telephone line at (202) 326-3140.
Attachment D
Summary of Modifications to Prior Guidance
This Memorandum modifies prior guidance in the following ways:
* Internet Privacy Policies (Memorandum 99-18):
1 must identify when tracking technology is used to personalize the interaction, and explain the purpose of the feature and the visitor's option to decline it.
2 must clearly explain when information is maintained and retrieved by personal identifier in a Privacy Act system of records; must provide (or link to) a Privacy Act statement (which may be subsumed within agency's Internet privacy policy) where Privacy Act information is solicited.
3 should clearly explain an individual's rights under the Privacy Act if solicited information is to be maintained in a Privacy Act system of records; information about rights under the Privacy Act may be provided in the body of the web privacy policy or via link to the agency's published systems notice and Privacy Act regulation or other summary of rights under the Privacy Act (notice and explanation of rights under other privacy laws should be handled in the same manner).
4 when a Privacy Act Statement is not required, must link to the agency's Internet privacy policy explaining the purpose of the collection and use of the information (point-of-collection notice at agency option).
5 must clearly explain where the user may consent to the collection or sharing of information and must notify users of any available mechanism to grant consent.
6 agencies must undertake to make their Internet privacy policies "readable" by privacy protection technology and report to OMB their progress in that effort.
7 must adhere to the regulatory requirements of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) when collecting information electronically from children under age 13.
*Tracking Technology (Memorandum 00-13):
8 prohibition against tracking visitors' Internet use extended to include tracking by any means (previous guidance addressed only "persistent cookies").
9 authority to waive the prohibition on tracking in appropriate circumstances may be retained by the head of an agency, or may be delegated to (i) senior official(s) reporting directly to the agency head, or to (ii) the heads of sub-agencies.
10 agencies must report the use of tracking technology to OMB, identifying the circumstances, safeguards and approving official.
11 agencies using customizing technology must explain the use, voluntary nature ofand the safeguards applicable to the customizing device in the Internet privacy policy.
12 agency heads or their designees may approve the use of persistent tracking technology to customize Internet interactions with the government.
* Privacy responsibilities (Memorandum 99-05)
13 agencies to identify individuals with day-to-day responsibility for implementingthe privacy provisions of the E-Government Act, the Privacy Act and any other applicable statutory privacy regime.
14 agencies to report to OMB the identities of senior official(s) primarily responsible for implementing and coordinating information technology/web policies and privacy policies.

Science Hill and Dobyns-Bennett have been streaking toward a showdown for nine weeks — and 18 years.
The undefeated Indians and Hilltoppers will meet tonight at 7:30 in what is expected to be a madhouse setting at J. Fred Johnson Stadium with a Big Eight Conference title on the line.
How good are Graham Clark's Indians (6-0, 9-0)? The consensus of numerous people who've seen both teams would make the Hilltoppers (6-0, 9-0) a two- to three-touchdown underdog despite the fact that they have outscored opponents 446-161 this season.
As for how good Science Hill is, many of those same people didn't mention the fact that it hasn't beaten D-B since 1994 until long after talking about how much fun it is watching quarterback Reed Hayes, running back Will Adams and receivers such as Malik McGue and Tre Webster operate Stacy Carter's up-tempo scheme. For the majority of this century, The Streak had been on the tip of every tongue.
Science Hill has lost 18 straight to the Indians, which won two games in the series in 1998, but Clark doesn't think his players feel any pressure to maintain it.
"I always tell our kids, 'Guys, pressure's when you send your wife with your credit card to Pigeon Forge,' " Clark said. "I mean, this is a game, you know, and that's how we try to approach it every week. Every year's a different year."
The only thing different about D-B this year is it's been even more dominant than usual. The Indians have outscored the opposition 510-99.
Quarterback Malik Foreman moved from flanker when Chris Cook was injured early in the season, and Foreman and running back Devaun Swafford have lit up opponents' scoreboards like pinball machines.
Swafford has averaged 11.9 yards on 70 carries (831 yards), which seems astounding until looking at Foreman's 22.7-yard average per carry (30-682). Each has scored 21 TDs, and they have exceeded expecations despite having exceptional seasons on 2011.
"Obviously, we knew they were very athletic," Clark said. "Ray Charles could see that. But I don't know that you ever think guys are gonna average the yards per carry that they've averaged. They've been awful good for us. And so have Seth Barger and Zach Casey. I mean, they've got pretty daggone good averages per carry also, and that says something about your offensive line."
Carter, like everyone else in the Tri-Cities, anticipates a shootout being more likely than a slugfest.
"They (Foreman and Swafford) are fantastic players," Carter said. "They're lucky to have those two kids. They both are phenomenal with what they can do and they use them very well. …
"You know they're gonna make plays. … We've got athletes that can do the same type of stuff, and we've just gotta come right back at 'em."
Hayes' statistics shine about as brightly as D-B's skilled stars. He's passed for 1,886 yards, 27 TDs and five interceptions while completing 63.3 percent of his passes. His strong arm and scrambling ability concern Clark.
"He scrambles more than the head chef at the IHOP," Clark said. "He makes plays last a long time and you've gotta get him tackled. But you can't just concentrate on him.
"They've got a number of playmakers. Reed Hayes is a pretty special player. Will Adams is a pretty special player. And you go on down the list – McGue and then (Grant) Janeway on defense. They've got a lot of really good football players."
Clark said D-B has sold an unusally high amount of advance tickets this week. The anticipation generated by the hype of two unbeaten rivals playing before an overflow crowd with a league title and an 18-game wins streak at stake could adversely affect players' mindsets, but Clark would be surprised if both teams aren't focused and sharp.
"Shoot, that ought to be what they've got up at 6:30 in the morning to lift weights for – games like this," Clark said. "I always tell them, 'Guys, these are the kind of games you were born to play in. It ought to be a lot of fun for you and excite you.' …
"It ought to be a great crowd and two good football teams. We'll see who takes care of business."
Science Hill will get a Willis Reed-like appearance — or more — from senior offensive lineman/linebacker Tate Isbell, who tore an ACL on Oct. 5 against Daniel Boone. When he was in elementary school playing at the Boys Club, Isbell already wanted to know if the Dobyns-Bennett game was in Johnson City or Kingsport his senior year.
He will start on the offensive line tonight, and his presence should be more valuable than blocking charts can measure.
"This senior bunch, they're gonna come out there to fight," Carter said. "That's the mentality they have."
Carter doesn't put any stock in The Streak having any bearing. Science Hill fell behind 14-0 en route to a 47-14 loss to D-B last year.
"Last year, how that went, we didn't even compete," he said. "Hopefully, we're beyond that and we're ready to roll. .You've got two good teams. You just want to get out there and compete and play well and the best team wins. ...
"It's two good football teams and it's great for high school football. We (coaches) are glad to be a part of something like this, too."
