(b)The Privacy Certificate shall briefly describe the project and shall contain assurance by the applicant that:
(1)Data identifiable to a private person will not be used or revealed, except as authorized under §§ 22.21, 22.22.
(2)Access to data will be limited to those employees having a need therefore and that such persons shall be advised of and agree in writing to comply with these regulations.

Where the notification requirement is to be waived, pursuant to § 22.27(c), a justification must be included in the Privacy Certificate.
