Privacy Act of 1974; Implementation

Résumé

The Department of Defense (Department or DoD) is giving concurrent notice of a new Department-wide system of records pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974 for the DoD-0008, "Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act Records" system of records and this proposed rulemaking. In this proposed rulemaking, the Department proposes to exempt portions of this system of records from certain provisions of the Privacy Act because of national security requirements; to avoid interference during the conduct of criminal, civil, or administrative actions or investigations; to prevent the compromise of protective services processes; to protect the identity of confidential sources incident to Federal employment, military service, contract, and security clearance determinations; and to prevent the undermining of testing and evaluation materials.
