Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary of Defense, DoD.

ACTION: Notice to alter a System of Records.

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

SUMMARY: The Office of the Secretary of Defense proposes to alter a 
system of records, DHRA 12 DoD, entitled ``Defense Injury and 
Unemployment Compensation System'', in its inventory of record systems 
subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. This system will 
process FECA claims seeking monetary, medical, and similar benefits for 
injuries or deaths sustained while performing assigned duties. Data is 
collected for incident notification to safety personnel responsible for 
OSHA recording. Safety claim records are used to support DoD management 
responsibilities under the applicable regulations and to obtain 
appropriate injury compensation benefits for qualifying employees or 
their dependents.
