Irvington Place, Denver, CO 80279-8000.

Categories of individuals covered by the system:
    United States Air Force (USAF), 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, manpower and payroll cost 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.

originates in the Defense Civilian Payroll System (DCPS). The Civilian 
Pay Accounting Interface System (CPAIS) will receive bi-weekly files 
that will be used to generate civilian payroll costs, manpower data and 
reports; and detailed management reports for the U.S. Air Force. The 
system will contain 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 of 1974, these records 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 are cut off at the end of the payroll year and destroyed after 
being maintained for 6 years and 3 months. Records are destroyed by 
degaussing the electronic media and recycling hardcopy records. The 
recycled hardcopies are destroyed by shredding, burning, or pulping.
