[Docket ID: DoD-2021-OS-0083]


Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

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

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 Enterprise 
Application and Services Forest (EASF), K890.15. This system of records 
was originally established by the DISA to collect and maintain records 
on the core active directory (AD) Infrastructure (domain controllers) 
for Enterprise Services such as DoD Enterprise Email (DEE), Identity 
Synchronization Services (IdSS), and DoD Enterprise Portal Service 
(DEPS). It is an Enterprise-wide hierarchical directory structure 
designed to employ greater centralization and standardization of 
network management for user data, security, and distributed resources 
and services across the DoD Enterprise. This system of records notice 
(SORN) is being updated to make various compliance changes as well as 
add 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 September 9, 
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 K890.15 EASF system of records to allow 
the provision of user accounts, and to authenticate users to DoD 
enterprise Web applications (e.g., Defense Collaboration Services, 
Defense Enterprise Portal, DEE) for non-dual persona personnel with 
DoD's Personal Identity Verification (PIV)--Authentication (Auth) 
certificate, rather than DoD's Email signing certificate. 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) To the Authority for Maintenance of 
the System section to update citation(s) and add additional 
authorities; (2) purpose of the system to improve clarity; (3) to the 
Categories of Individuals Covered by the System section to expand the 
individuals covered and Categories of Records to clarify how the 
records relate to the revised Category of Individuals; (4) Record 
Source Categories to account for Five Eyes partners and Coalition 
partners exchange in order to populate the information into the Five 
Eyes national directory; (5) Routine Uses to align with DoD's standard 
routine uses; (6) to the Administrative, Technical, and Physical 
Safeguards to update the individual safeguards protecting the personal 
information; (7) to the Record Access Procedures section to reflect the

[[Page 43632]]

need for individuals to identify the appropriate DoD office or 
component to which their request should be directed; and (8) to the 
Contesting Records Procedures and Notification procedures section to 
update the appropriate citation for contesting records. Furthermore, 
this notice 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.

II. Privacy Act
