rights which are discussed below. All notices must be provided to you in writing (written notification includes
electronic notification, but excludes oral notification). These obligations are pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1972,
Title 5, United States Cod (U.S.C.) Section 552a, and Title 28 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 50.12, among

APPLICANT ASSURANCES
I
have received a copy of the
Noncriminal Justice Applicant’s Privacy Rights. I have read the Rights and I understand
them.
I acknowledge, accept, and understand the following:
1. I have been provided written notification that my fingerprints will be used to check
the criminal history records of the FBI.
2. If I have a criminal history record, the officials making a determination of my
suitability for the job, license, or other benefit must provide me the opportunity to
complete or challenge the accuracy of the information in the record.
3. I acknowledge that the procedures for obtaining a change, correction, or updating of
my criminal history record are set forth at Title 28, Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), Section 16.30 through16.34.
4. I have the right to expect that officials receiving the results of the criminal history
record check will use it only for authorized purposes and will not retain or
disseminate it in violation of federal statute, regulation or executive order, or rule,
procedure or standard established by the National Crime Prevention and Privacy
Compact Council. (See 5 U.S.C. 552a(b); 28 U.S.C. 534(b); 42 U.S.C. 14616, Article
IV(c); 28 CFR 20.21(c), 20.33(d) and 906.2(d).)
5. I have been informed that the Colville Tribal Gaming Commission’s policy does not
permit us to provide you a copy of the record. You may obtain a copy of the record
by submitting fingerprints and a fee to the FBI. Information regarding this process
may be obtained at http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/background-checks.
6. If I decide to challenge the accuracy or completeness of my FBI criminal history
record, I should send my challenge to the agency that contributed the questioned
information to the FBI. Alternatively, you may send your challenge directly to the
FBI. The FBI will then forward my challenge to the agency that contributed the
questioned information and request the agency to verify or correct the challenged
entry. Upon receipt of an official communication form that agency, the FBI will make
any necessary changes/corrections to my record in accordance with the information
supplied by that agency. (See 28 CFR 16.30 through 16.34.)
