foundation model for a potential intelligence use shall
request or otherwise lawfully gather pertinent information on
sources of training data and methods of data labeling,
including any functions carried out by third party vendors,
in order to make informed decisions on what mitigation
practices or other relevant dissemination, usage, or
retention measures may be applicable to that element's future
adoption of the foundation model under consideration.
