SUBJECT:
ALLEGATION GU E MEMORANDUM 96 ADDITIONAL l NEASURES TO P ECT THE IDENTITY OF ALLEGERS AND l CONFIDENTIAL SOURCES The purpose of this Allegation Guidance Memorandum (AGM) is to require additional measures for protecting the identity of allegers and confidential sources. There have been a number of recent instances of the staff inadvertently revealing the identity of an alleger. The inadvertent release f of allegers' identities can make allegers more vulnerable to discrimination l and damages the credibility of the agency and the allegation program. The following requirements are intended to heighten the staff's awareness of allegation material and increase the opportunities to detect potential releases before they occur. Guidance in this AGM supersedes guidance on these topics in Management Directive 8.8 (MD 8.8), " Management of Allegations."
This guidance will be included in the next revision of MD 8.8 which is currently scheduled for the Spring of 1997.
Markina and Storace of Files Involvino Alleaers or Confidential Sources
- 1) Allegation files that contain the identity of a confidential source are to be stored within a secure filing cabinet drawer designated solely for files involving confidential sources and should not be stored with allegation files that do not involve a confidential source;
- 2) Allegation files containing the identity of a confidential source must have a cover sheet attached to the outside of the case file that indicates the file contains the identity of a confidential source and provides handling instructions (Attachment A);
- 3) Correspondence containing the identity of a confidential source that is separated from the file must also have the cover sheet described in 2) above, l attached; i 9701240135 970114 PDR FOIA KELLER96-488 PDR
Multiple Addressees 4) Correspondence containing the identity of an alleger that is separated from the file must have a cover sheet that indicates the correspondence contains the identity of an alleger and provides handling instructions, (Attachment B).
ArJmowledaement. status. and Closure Letters l To help prevent the inadvertent release of correspondence to an alleger, acknowledgement, status, and closure letters shall have the allegation number clearly typed on the front page of the letter and on the upper right corner of ;
each subsequent page. This action will reduce the possibility of a staff member not recognizing that the letter concerns an allegation and may identify an alleger. Additionally, any letter from an alleger or confidential source shall be clearly stamped on each page, "This document identifies an alleger (or confidential source)" as appropriate.
Traininq l
. The allegation coordinators in each region and office are requested to discuss ,
these new requirements with staff members currently working on allegations. I In addition, future training sessions should cover the new requirements and emphasize protecting the identity of allegers and confidential sources.
Revision of Office Letters and Reaional Instructions Office letters and regional instructions should be revised to reflect this guidance. Alternatively, this AGM may be forwarded to the staff as interim guidance pending revision of Management Directive 8.8, " Management of Allegations."
