32 CFR Part 310

Privacy Act; Implementation

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DoD.

ACTION: Final rule, with comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As directed by Secretary of Defense memorandum dated May 25, 
2000, the Department of Defense Privacy Program is being amended to 
include specific language for providing periodic Privacy Act training 
for DoD personnel who may be expected to deal with the news media or 
the public.

DATES: This rule is effective May 25, 2000. Comments must be received 
by October 6, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Defense Privacy Office, 1941 Jefferson Davis Highway, Suite 
920, Arlington, VA 22202-4502.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Executive Order 12866. It has been determined that this Privacy Act 
rule for the Department of Defense does not constitute `significant 
regulatory action'. Analysis of the rule indicates that it does not 
have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more; does not 
create a serious inconsistency or otherwise interfere with an action 
taken or planned by another agency; does not materially alter the 
budgetary impact of entitlements, grants, user fees, or loan programs 
or the rights and obligations of recipients thereof; does not raise 
novel legal or policy issues arising out of legal mandates, the 
President's priorities, or the principles set forth in Executive Order 
12866 (1993).
Regulatory Flexibility Act. It has been determined that this Privacy 
Act rule for the Department of Defense does not have significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because it is 
concerned only with the administration of Privacy Act systems of 
records within the Department of Defense.
Paperwork Reduction Act. It has been determined that this Privacy Act 
rule for the Department of Defense imposes no information requirements 
beyond the Department of Defense and that the information collected 
within the Department of Defense is necessary and consistent with 5 
U.S.C. 552a, known as the Privacy Act of 1974.
