When a commission form requests a person to supply information
about that person, the commission shall notify the person of the use that will
be made of the information, which persons outside the commission might
routinely be provided this information, which parts of the requested
information are required and which are optional, and the consequences of a
failure to provide the information requested. This notice may be given in these
rules, on the written form used to collect the information, on a separate fact
sheet or letter, in brochures, in formal agreements, in contracts, in
handbooks, in manuals, verbally or by other appropriate means. Notice need not
be given in connection with discovery requests in litigation or administrative
proceedings, subpoenas, investigations of possible violations of law or similar
demands for information.
