Purpose(s):
    National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Enterprise Workforce System 
(NEWS) is a human resources system used to manage acquisition, 
management and training for NGA civilian, military, and contractor 
workforces. It also manages personnel security and clearance 
management; and is used to satisfy Federal, DoD and community reporting 
requirements for manpower, EEO and diversity reports. It addition, the 
system is used for the management of user accounts on internal computer 
systems.

Routine uses of records maintained in the system, including categories 
of uses and the purposes for such uses:
    In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 
552a(b) of the Privacy Act of 1974 and the DoD Blanket Routine Uses, 
these records contained therein may be specifically disclosed outside 
the DoD as a routine use pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) as follows:
    Relevant records from this system may be provided regularly to the 
Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) for the 
Intelligence Community to provide aggregate workforce planning, 
analysis, and reporting purposes. Records provided to the ODNI through 
this routine use for the Personnel Data Repository (PDR) and 
Intelligence Community Capabilities Catalog (IC3) initiatives will not 
include any individual's name or Social Security Number (SSN).
    The DoD `Blanket Routine Uses' set forth at the beginning of NGA's 
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:
    Records are maintained on electronic storage media.

Retrievability:
    Records are retrieved in the system by name, Social Security Number 
(SSN), NGA Identification Number (NGA ID).

Safeguards:
    Records are maintained in a controlled facility. Physical access is 
restricted by the use of locks, guards, and is accessible only to 
authorized personnel. Access to records is limited to individuals 
responsible for servicing the record in performance of their official 
duties and who are properly screened and cleared for need-to-know. 
Access to computerized data is restricted by technical measures, 
including password protection, firewalls, and encryption.

Retention and disposal:
    Forms, notices, reports, and memoranda considered to be of 
permanent value or required by law or regulation to be preserved are 
retained for the period of employment or assignment, then forwarded to 
the gaining organization or retained indefinitely.
    If the action is separation or retirement, these items are 
forwarded to the Office of Personnel Management or retired to a records 
storage facility as appropriate. Items considered to be relevant for a 
temporary period are retained for that period, either transferred with 
the employee, assignee, or destroyed when they are no longer relevant 
or either at a time of separation or retirement.
    The computerized portion is deleted and updated as appropriate. 
Records relating to adverse actions, grievances, excluding EEO 
complaints and performance-based actions, except SFs-50, are retained 
for four years. Personnel summary, training, testing and past activity 
segments are retained permanently. All other portions are deleted at 
end of tenure.
