AGENCY: Defense Logistics Agency, DoD.
ACTION: Notice to Alter Systems of Records.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Defense Logistics Agency proposes to alter a system of
records notice in its inventory of record systems subject to the
Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), as amended.
The alterations (1) add a new purpose where information will be
collected on individuals who are involved in incidents of domestic
violence. The reporting and maintenance of such information is mandated
by Public Law
[[Page 35653]]
106-65, section 594, as codified at 10 U.S.C. 1562, and (2) adds a new
routine use to permit release of information to the FBI for the
purposes of identifying individuals for whom access to a biological
agent or toxin would violate the Public Health Security and
Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002, Pub. L. 107-188.
DATES: This action will be effective without further notice on July 16,
2003 unless comments are received that would result in a contrary
determination.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to the Privacy Act Officer, Headquarters,
Defense Logistics Agency, ATTN: DSS-CF, 8725 John J. Kingman Road,

as amended, have been published in the Federal Register and are
available from the address above.
The proposed system report, as required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) of the
Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, was submitted on May 29, 2003, to the

In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C.

therein may be disclosed outside the Department of Defense as a routine
use pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) only as follows:
To the Department of Justice, or any of its components to which
authority has been delegated:
(1) To compile crime statistics so that such information can be
both disseminated to the general public and used to develop statistical
data for use by law enforcement agencies.
(2) To compile information on those individuals for whom receipt or
possession of a firearm would violate the law so that such information
can be included in the National Instant Criminal Background Check
System which may be used by firearm licensees (importers, manufactures
or dealers) to determine whether individuals are disqualified from
receiving or possessing a firearm.
(3) To compile information on those individuals for whom access to
a biological agent or toxin would violate the law so that such
information can be included in a database which may be used to
determine whether individuals are disqualified from accessing such
agents or toxins.
The DoD `Blanket Routine Uses' set forth at the beginning of DLA's
compilation of record system notices do not apply to this record
system.
Policies and practices for storing, retrieving, accessing, retaining,
and disposing of records in the system:
Storage:
Electronic storage media.
Retrievability:
Retrieved by name, Social Security Number, incident number, or any
other data element contained in system.
Safeguards:
Computerized records are maintained in a controlled area accessible
only to authorized personnel. Entry to these areas is restricted by the
use of locks, guards, and administrative procedures. Access to personal
information is limited to those who require the records in the
performance of their official duties. Access to personal information is
further restricted by the use of passwords which are changed
periodically.
Retention and disposal:
The master file is retained permanently. Input and source records
are destroyed after data have been entered into the master file or when
no longer needed for operational purposes, whichever is later. Output
products (electronic or paper) are destroyed when no longer needed for
operational purposes.
