SYSTEM NAME:
    Joint Advertising, Market Research & Studies (JAMRS) Survey 
Database.

SYSTEM LOCATION:
    Equifax Database Services, Inc., 500 Edgewater Drive, Suite 525, 
Wakefield, MA 01880-6222.

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM:
    Individuals aged 16 through maximum recruiting age; Selective 
Service System registrants; individuals who have taken the Armed 
Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) test; current military 
personnel who are on Active Duty or in the Reserves; prior service 
individuals who still have remaining Military Service Obligation 
(commonly known as the Individual Ready Reserve or IRR); individuals 
who are in the process of enlisting or enrolled in ROTC (commonly known 
as the Military Entrance Program Command (MEPCOM) applicant file); and 
individuals who have asked to be removed from consideration as a 
participant in any future JAMRS survey.

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
    Individual's name, gender, mailing address, date of birth, 
information source code.

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:
    10 U.S.C. 503(a), Enlistments: recruiting campaigns; 10 U.S.C. 136, 
Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness; 10 U.S.C. 3013, 
Secretary of the Army; 10 U.S.C. 5013, Secretary of the Navy; 10 U.S.C.

development projects.

PURPOSE(S):
    To compile names of individuals aged 16 through maximum recruiting 
age to create a mailing frame from which to conduct surveys. These 
surveys will be conducted multiple times per year and each survey will 
be designed so that appropriate levels of precision can be achieved for 
inferences to be made at various geographic levels. The system also 
provides JAMRS with the ability to remove the names of individuals who 
are current/former members of, or are enlisting in, the Armed Forces, 
and individuals who have asked to be removed from consideration as a 
participant in any future JAMRS survey.

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's Blanket Routine Uses set forth at the beginning of OSD's 
compilation of systems of records notices do not apply to this system 
except:
    To any component of the Department of Justice for the purpose of 
representing the Department of Defense, or any officer, employee or 
member of the Department, in pending or potential litigation to which 
the record is pertinent.
    To the General Services Administration and the National Archives 
and Records Administration for the purpose of records management 
inspections conducted under authority of 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, 
AND DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
STORAGE:
    Electronic storage media.

RETRIEVABILITY:
    Individual's full name, address, and date of birth.

SAFEGUARDS:

[[Page 42787]]

overlapping controls, monitoring and authentication to ensure overall 
security of the data, network and system resources. Sophisticated 
physical security, perimeter security (firewall, intrusion prevention), 
access control, authentication, encryption, data transfer, and 
monitoring solutions prevent unauthorized access from internal and 
external sources.

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:
    If selected for a survey: Records will be retained for one year 
after the completion of the survey. If not selected for a survey, the 
record will be deleted after other records have been selected. Opt-outs 
will be deleted when the individual is no longer eligible for 
recruiting.
