DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary

[Docket ID: DOD-2016-OS-0093]


Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary of Defense, DoD.

ACTION: Notice to alter a System of Records.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, and Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular No. A-130, notice is hereby 
given that the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) proposes to 
alter a system of records, DUSDI 01-DoD, ``Department of Defense (DoD) 
Insider Threat Management and Analysis Center (DITMAC) and DoD 
Component Insider Threat Records System,'' last published at 81 FR 
31614, May 19, 2016.
    This system of records exists to: Analyze, monitor, and audit 
insider threat information for insider threat detection and mitigation 
within the DoD on threats that persons who have or had been granted 
eligibility for access to classified information or eligibility to hold 
sensitive positions may pose to DoD and U.S. Government installations, 
facilities, personnel, missions, or resources. The system of records 
will support the DITMAC and DoD Component insider threat programs, 
enable the identification of systemic insider threat issues and 
challenges, and provide a basis for the development and recommendation 
of solutions to deter, detect, and/or mitigate potential insider 
threats. It will assist in identifying best practices among other 
Federal Government insider threat programs, through the use of existing 
DoD resources and functions and by leveraging existing authorities, 
policies, programs, systems, and architectures.
    This alteration reflects a change to the categories of individuals 
by removing the phrase: And who have exhibited actual, probable, or 
possible indications of insider threat behaviors or activities. Public 
Law 112-81, 10 U.S.C. 2224 note, Insider Threat Detection, requires the 
Department to detect and prevent insider threats in order to protect 
sensitive information and information systems. This authority requires 
the Department to employ anomaly detection techniques, which logically 
require ingestion of non-anomalous information in order to identify 
anomalous information. Accordingly, the individuals subject to the DoD 
Insider Threat program are those individuals who had or have been 
granted eligibility or access to classified information.

DATES: Comments will be accepted on or before October 24, 2016. This 
proposed action will be effective the day following the end of the 
comment

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cindy Allard, Chief of the Defense

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of the Secretary of Defense 
notices for systems of records subject to the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 
U.S.C. 552a), as amended, have been published in the Federal Register 
and are available from the address in FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT 
or at the Defense Privacy, Civil Liberties, and Transparency Division 
Web site at http://dpcld.defense.gov/.
    The proposed system report, as required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) of the 
Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, was submitted on September 2, 2016, to 
the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, the Senate 
Committee on Governmental Affairs, and the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) pursuant to paragraph 4 of Appendix I to OMB Circular No. 
A-130, ``Federal Agency Responsibilities for Maintaining Records About 
Individuals,'' revised November 28, 2000 (December 12, 2000, 65 FR 
77677).
    The Department received comments from five submitters related to 
the initial publication of the Privacy Act System of Records Notice for 
the Department of Defense (DoD) Insider Threat Management and Analysis 
Center (DITMAC) and DoD Component Insider Threat Records System. A 
response to the comments received has been posted to the electronic 
docket under docket ID DOD-2016-OS-0060 on http://www.regulations.gov.
    Although a change is being published to the categories of 
individuals, this resulted from further review of the published system 
of records notice and not the comments received.
