[Docket ID: USA-2017-HQ-0002]


Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD.

ACTION: Notice to alter a System of Records.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974 notice is hereby given 
that the Department of the Army proposes to alter a system of records, 
A0350-1b TRADOC, entitled ``Army Career Tracker (ACT),'' last published 
at 76 FR 26714 on May 9, 2011. The Army Career Tracker (ACT) exists to 
enable Soldiers and Army civilians world-wide with career development 
and transition resources. ACT provides users with a more efficient and 
effective way to monitor their career development while allowing 
leaders to track and advise subordinates on personalized leadership 
development. As a leader development tool, it integrates data on 
training, education, and experiential learning from a number of source 
systems into one personalized and easy-to-use

[[Page 8180]]

interface. ACT allows supervisors to track and advise employees on 
their leadership development and allows career program managers the 
ability to reach their geographically dispersed careerists. The Total 
Army Sponsorship Program is also administered through ACT. The 
sponsorship program provides Soldiers and Army civilians and their 
families with resources to facilitate their transition and/or 
relocation between commands and duty assignments.
    This alteration to the system of records notice incorporates the 
applicable DoD Routine Uses in the notice to provide clarity for the 
public. The categories of individuals has been updated to reflect the 
inclusion of Army Reserve, Guard, and Reserve Officer Training Corps 
personnel. The category of records was expanded to cover data that is 
collected and used in support of the Total Army Sponsorship Program. 
Further, the authorities were updated to cite the specific sections of 
the United States Code and identify the DoD issuances that implement 
the program. The purpose has been revised to clarify the use and 
description of these records. The systems that are data sources or 
interface with ACT have been denoted in the records source categories. 
Lastly, administrative corrections were made to the system location, 
retrievability, safeguards, system manager and address, notification 
and record access procedures, and contesting records procedures.

DATES: Comments will be accepted on or before February 23, 2017. This 
proposed action will be effective the date following the end of the 
comment period unless comments are received which result in a contrary 
determination.
