(C) Procedural requirements.—State agencies to which information is disclosed pursuant to such section 4241 shall adhere to
uniform procedures established by the Secretary.
(c) Covered Algorithm Defined.—In this section, the term “covered algorithm”—
(1) means a predictive modeling or other analytics technology, as used for purposes of section 4241(a)
of the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 (42 U.S.C. 1320a–7m(a)) to identify
