3 U.S.C. § 456 — Confidentiality

(a) Counseling: All counseling that happens under section 452 must be kept strictly confidential. There is one exception: the employing office^* may be notified, but only if the covered employee^* consents.

(b) Mediation: All mediation that happens under section 452 must also be kept strictly confidential. This section does not list any exception for mediation like it does for counseling, and it does not say what happens if this confidentiality rule is broken.
