NAO 216-100: Appendix C – Statement of Nondisclosure

I have read the NOAA Administrative Order on Confidentiality of Statistics and understand its contents.

I will not disclose any data identified as confidential to any person(s), except as directed by the Assistant Administrator for Fisheries. I am fully aware of the civil and criminal penalties for unauthorized disclosure, misuse, or other violation of the confidentiality of such data.

I understand that I may be subject to criminal and civil penalties under provisions of Titles 5 U.S.C. 552 and 18 U.S.C. 1905, which are the primary Federal statutes prohibiting unauthorized disclosure of confidential data. I may also be subject to civil penalties for improper disclosure of data collected under the Magnuson Act or the MMPA.
