What is punishment for breaking the privacy act of 1974 pertaining to the health care industry?

If there were a punishment/penalty, the privacy act is itself is required by law to state the penalties. After reading the document myself, I concluded that since no penalties are described for any specific crime, there must be no penalty. The Privacy Act of 1974 says that -each federal agency that asks you for information must tell you: a. its legal right to ask for the information and whether the law says you must give it b. What major purpose the agency has in asking for it, and how it will be used c. What could happen if the agency does not receive it.
