System name:
Civilian Pay Accounting Bridge Records.
System location:
Defense Finance and Accounting Service, 6760 E. Irvington Place,
Denver, CO 80279-8000.
Categories of individuals covered by the system:
United States (U.S.) Air Force, Army, Navy, Marine Corps, active,
reserve, and guard members, Defense Security Service and National
Geospatial-Intelligence Agency civilian employees, Department of
Defense (DoD) civilian employees and other Federal civilian employees
paid by appropriated funds and whose pay is processed by the Defense
Finance and Accounting Service.
Categories of records in the system:
Name, Social Security Number (SSN), address, telephone number and
accounting data.
Authority for maintenance of the system:
5 U.S.C. 301, Departmental Regulations, Department of Defense
Financial Management Regulation (DoDFMR) 7000.14-R Vol. 4, 31 U.S.C.
Sections 3511 and 3513, and E.O. 9397 (SSN).
Purpose(s):
To provide a bridge or link between the Defense Civilian Payroll
System (DCPS) and the Civilian Pay Accounting Interface System (CPAIS).
This system will create pay information files from DCPS. The pay
information files will contain civilian payroll costs and manpower
data; this data will then be provided to the U.S. Air Force accounting
activities for processing. The system contains information on other
than U.S. Air Force civilian employees; however, the CPAIS system will
not use the non-Air Force data other than to transmit it directly to
the General Accounting and Finance System (GAFS).
Routine uses of records maintained in the system, including categories
of users and the purposes of such uses:
In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C.
552a(b) of the Privacy Act, these records or information contained
therein may specifically be disclosed outside the DoD as a routine use
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) as follows:
The DoD `Blanket Routine Uses' published at the beginning of the
DFAS compilation of systems of records notices apply to this system.
Policies and practices for storing, retrieving, accessing, retaining,
and disposing of records in the system:
Storage:
Electronic storage media and hard copy output products.
Retrievability:
Name or Social Security Number (SSN).
Safeguards:
Records are stored in an office building protected by guards,
controlled screening, use of visitor registers, electronic access, and/
or locks. Access to records is limited to authorized individuals who
are properly screened and cleared on a need-to-know basis in the
performance of their duties. Passwords and digital signatures are used
to control access to the system data, and procedures are in place to
deter and detect browsing and unauthorized access. Physical and
electronic access are limited to persons responsible for servicing and
authorized to use the system.
Retention and disposal:
Records may be temporary in nature and deleted when actions are
completed, superseded, obsolete, or no longer needed. Pay affecting
records may be cut off at the end of the payroll year, and then
destroyed up to 6 years and 3 months after cutoff. Records are
destroyed by degaussing the electronic media and recycling hardcopy
records. The recycled hardcopies are destroyed by shredding, burning,
or pulping.
