Office of the Inspector General; Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

Résumé

The Office of the Inspector General, DoD is proposing to add an exempt system of records to its existing inventory of record systems subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, (5 U.S.C. 552a), as amended. The exemption is needed because during the course of processing a Congressional inquiry, exempt materials from other systems of records may become part of the records in this system. To the extent that copies of exempt records from those "other" systems of records are entered into the Congressional case records, the Office of the Inspector General, DoD, hereby claims the same exemptions for the records from those other systems that are entered into this system, as claimed for the original primary systems of records, which they are a part. Therefore, the Inspector General, DoD is proposing to exempt the system of records CIG-21, entitled, "Congressional Correspondence Tracking System" from 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2), (k)(1) through (k)(7).
