Can a Cooperative Extension Service release mailing lists to Federal, State, or private agencies?
A— Mailing lists comprise systems of records established to assist in carrying out various programs of a Cooperative Extension Service. These mailing lists are for the sole use of the Cooperative Extension Service and should not be furnished directly or indirectly to any person, firm, association, or Federal government agency unless authorized by the individual Cooperative Extension Service director/administrator. State freedom of information or privacy regulations and institutional policies may apply to the release of these records. As such, legal consultation with the State Attorney’s office and institutional counsel is recommended concerning the proper handling of access requests.
