DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary

[Docket ID: DoD-2020-OS-0031]


Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller), 
Department of Defense (DoD).

ACTION: Notice of a new System of Records.

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

SUMMARY: The Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) 
proposes to add a System of Records titled, ``Defense Repository for 
Common Enterprise Data (DRCED),'' DUSDC 01. This system will automate 
financial and business transactions, perform cost-management analysis, 
produce oversight and audit reports, and provide critical data linking 
to improve performance of mission objectives. Congress mandated the 
creation of this system through the National Defense Authorization Act 
of 2018 and then codified it by statute as ``Defense Business Systems: 
Business Process Reengineering; Enterprise Architecture; Management.'' 
The DRCED's purpose is to improve the Department's defense business 
enterprise by synchronizing and normalizing data for affordability, 
performance, and mission readiness. To achieve this, the DRCED will 
optimize technology to provide an enterprise solution for integrating 
and analyzing targeted data from existing Department systems to develop 
timely, actionable, and insightful conclusions in support of national 
strategies. Also, DRCED is capable of creating predictive analytic 
models based upon specific data streams to equip decision makers with 
critical data necessary for execution of fiscal and operational 
requirements.

DATES: This new System of Records is effective upon publication; 
however, comments on the Routine Uses will be accepted on or before 
April 16, 2020. The Routine Uses are effective at the close of the 
comment period.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by docket number and 
title, by any of the following methods:
    * Federal Rulemaking Portal: https://www.regulations.gov.
    Follow the instructions for submitting comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DRCED is a single authoritative repository 
for DoD Common Enterprise Data (CED) to provide decision-makers greater 
insight into financial auditability, business processes, and 
operational combat/mission readiness. CED is defined as automatically 
accessible data from business operations or management records provided 
in a usable format to authorized DoD personnel or DoD components. DRCED 
will extract records from relevant Department systems, synchronize and 
normalize CED from those systems to facilitate and streamline 
enterprise-wide analysis and management of business processes. DRCED 
capabilities include: robust auditing to recognize fraudulent budget, 
programming, and fiscal transactions; linking of data from multiple 
systems (such as personnel, financial, and medical systems) to specific 
operations and missions for visibility and traceability of expenditures 
and resource allocation; producing reports for individual transaction 
processing for each stage of the budgetary life cycle; assessment tools 
for decision-makers charged with overseeing costs for specific missions 
or functions (e.g., equipment, training, personnel); and applying 
predictive analysis to identify common operational factors for 
readiness and unit deploy ability.
    The DoD notices for Systems of Records subject to the Privacy Act 
of 1974, 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 website 
at https://dpcld.defense.gov.
    The proposed systems reports, as required by of the Privacy Act, as 
amended, were submitted on January 24, 2020, to the House Committee on 
Oversight and Reform, the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and 
Governmental Affairs, and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)

Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, and Publication under the 
Privacy Act,'' revised December 23, 2016 (December 23, 2016, 81 FR
