Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), Department of 
Defense (DoD).

[[Page 41026]]


ACTION: Notice of a modified system of records.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the DoD is 
modifying and reissuing a current system of records titled ``Identity 
Synchronization Services (IdSS),'' K890.14. This system of records was 
originally established by the DISA to populate and maintain persona-
based user objects in DoD enterprise-level Domain Controllers, such as 
the Enterprise Application and Services Forest (EASF) implemented by 
DISA to provide DoD Enterprise E-Mail, DoD Enterprise Portal Service 
(DEPS), etc. In addition, the DISA uses the IdSS to populate and 
maintain persona data elements in DoD Component networks and systems, 
such as directory services and account provisioning systems. This 
system of records notice (SORN) is being updated to make various 
changes, including expanding the individuals covered and adding DoD's 
standard routine uses.

DATES: This system of records is effective upon publication; however, 
comments on the Routine Uses will be accepted on or before August 30, 
2021. 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.
    Mail: DoD cannot receive written comments at this time due to the 
COVID-19 pandemic. Comments should be sent electronically to the docket 
listed above.
    Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name 
and docket number for this Federal Register document. The general 
policy for comments and other submissions from members of the public is 
to make these submissions available for public viewing on the internet 
at https://www.regulations.gov as they are received without change, 
including any personal identifiers or contact information.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mrs. Jeanette M. Weathers-Jenkins, 
DISA Privacy Officer, 6914 Cooper Ave., Fort Meade, MD 20755-7090, or 
by phone at (301) 225-8158.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The DISA is modifying the K890.14 IdSS system of records, to 
provide DoD Enterprise E-Mail, DEPS, etc. In addition, it will allow 
the IdSS to populate and maintain persona data elements in DoD 
Component networks and systems, such as directory services and account 
provisioning systems to provide DoD Enterprise E-Mail. Subject to 
public comment, the DoD proposes to update this SORN to add the 
standard DoD routine uses (routine uses A through I) and to allow for 
additional disclosures outside DoD related to the purpose of this 
system of records.
    Additionally, the following sections of this SORN are being 
modified as follows: (1) System Location and System Manager(s), to 
provide instructions on obtaining a list of system location(s); (2) 
Authority for Maintenance of the System, to update citation(s) and add 
additional authorities; (3) Purpose(s) of the System, to clarify the 
system's purpose for the general public; (4) Categories of Individuals 
Covered by the System, to expand the individuals covered, and 
Categories of Records, to clarify how the records relate to the revised 
Category of Individuals; (5) Record Source Categories, to provide 
clarity; (6) Routine Uses, to align with DoD's standard routine uses; 
(7) Record Access Procedures, to reflect the need for individuals to 
identify the appropriate DoD office or component to which their request 
should be directed; and (8) Contesting Records Procedures and 
Notification Procedures, to update the appropriate citation for 
contesting records. Additionally, the sections containing the policies 
on storage, retrieval of records, retention and disposal of records, 
and safeguards have been modified to improve clarity generally and for 
compliance with National Archives and Records Administration approved 
records schedules. This notice also includes non-substantive changes to 
simplify the formatting and text of the previously published notice.
    DoD SORNs 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 (DPCLTD) 
website at https://dpcld.defense.gov/privacy.
