AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice to alter a system of 

records. 

SUMMARY: The Department of the Army 

proposes to alter a system of records 

notice in its inventory of records 

systems subject to the Privacy Act of 

1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), as amended. 

DATES: This proposed action will be 

effective without further notice on 

February 7, 2007 unless comments are 

received which result in a contrary 

determination. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to 

Department of the Army, Freedom of 

Information/Privacy Division, U.S. 

Army Records Management and 

Declassification Agency, ATTN: AHRC–

PDD–FPZ, 7701 Telegraph Road, Casey 

Building, Suite 144, Alexandria, VA 

22325–3905. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Robert Dickerson at (703) 428–6513. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The notice 

was published on October 25, 2005 at 70 

FR 61607. There were numerous 

comments, but many were virtually 

identical in format and content. We 

agree, in part, with some of the 

comments, and where so, we have made 

changes to the system notice. 

The commenter’s observe that the 

system violates victims’ (and offender’s) 

privacy rights. We disagree. The 

inclusion of personal information in the 

SADMS does not violate law or 

contravene public policy. The personal 

identifying information (PII) that will be 

incorporated into the Sexual Assault 

Data Management System (SADMS) 

already exists in other Army 

information systems that are identified 

in the system notice. SADMS simply 

consolidates data for the purposes set 

forth in the notice. 

The commenter’s remark that use of 

PII would deter victims from reporting 

sexual assaults. We disagree. The Army 

Sexual Assault Prevention and 

Response (SAPR) Program is designed to 

foster the confidence of Soldiers and 

increase their likelihood of reporting. It 

is widely recognized that sexual assault 

is the most underreported crime in the 

United States. SADMS, as a 

consolidation of data reported and 

captured in other Army information 

systems, will enable Army SAPR 

Program officials to assess the 

effectiveness of the Army’s response 

and prevention program and to make 

necessary and appropriate changes to 

policy and procedure to correct any 

identified weaknesses or failings in the 

program. Incident to analyzing the data 

in the system, great care is taken, both 

technically and procedurally, to ensure 

that the privacy and confidentiality of 

victim data is preserved and protected. 

Fewer than ten individuals in or 

supporting the Headquarters 

Department of the Army (HQDA) SAPR 

Program Office will be authorized direct 

system access to PII contained in the 

SADMS, but only on an as needed basis 

for purposes of discharging their SAPR 

Program management responsibilities. 

Additionally, the Assistant Deputy 

Chief of Staff, G–1 (Personnel) must 

explicitly approve such access prior to 

personnel being granted system 

privileges (or permissions), to access PII 

within the SADMS. No other 

Department of the Army personnel will 

be authorized direct access to PII in 

SADMS. Victims can be assured that 

their PII is not disseminated throughout 

the Army, but is only disclosed in 

accordance with authorized program 

management purposes. 

The commenter’s observe that 

personally identifying information 

should not be included in the system. 

We disagree. As indicated above, 

SADMS is a consolidation of sexual 

assault incident and response data 

previously reported and captured in 

other Army information systems. It is 

designed to provide Army SAPR 

program leaders a holistic view of these 

incidents, to measure the effectiveness 

of the Army’s SAPR Program, to support 

the management of the program as 

recommended by the Acting Secretary 

of the Army’s Task Force Report on 

Sexual Assault Policies published in 

May 2004, and to respond to queries by 

Congress and/or Senior Army Leaders. 

To ensure it fulfills these purposes, it is 

critically important that data contained 

in the system be accurate. Analysis of 

sexual assault incident and response 

data across all the SADMS feeder 

systems identified in the systems notice 

demonstrates that the most effective 

way to accurately synthesize these 

separate information systems is to 

correlate data by common data fields—

the personal identifying information. 

Inclusion of this information is the most 

efficient means of assuring that accurate 

information is received and correlated 

from these feeder systems. 

The commenter’s question the 

rationale for developing a separate data 

management system in addition to the 

Defense Incident-Based Reporting 

System (DIBRS). The Army elected to 

develop and implement the SADMS 

because the Defense Incident Based 

Reporting System (DIBRS) did not 

provide the information necessary to 

manage and measure the effectiveness of 

the different components of the Army’s 

SAPR Program. DIBRS, while containing 

incident, investigative and offender 

accountability information, does not 

address support services being made 

available to and/or received by victims. 

The Acting Secretary of the Army’s Task 

Force Report on Sexual Assault Policies 

found that the Army lacked a 

centralized system to document all 

relevant data regarding sexual assault 

cases, including care provided to the 

victim. The Task Force recognized that 

critical information is not available at a 

single location, information that could 

provide greater understanding about 

how well the Army’s sexual assault 

prevention and response policies and 

procedures are working. At the time 

when the report was issued, all 

available Army data on sexual assaults, 

victims, and alleged perpetrators 

resided in different systems across 

several Army organizations. This 

decentralization made it difficult to 

follow victims, alleged perpetrators, and 

cases between services, components, 

and organizations. SADMS is designed 

to specifically address this shortcoming 

and to provide Army SAPR Program 

leaders the capability to manage and 

measure the effectiveness of the Army’s 

SAPR Program. 

The commenters point out that it is 

unclear who will have access to the 

SADMS. As indicated above, the 

SADMS will only operate in support of 

HQDA (Army G–1) Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response (SAPR) 

Program requirements. As discussed 

above, fewer than ten individuals in or 

supporting the HQDA SAPR Program 

Office will be authorized direct system 

access to personal identifying 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 4 / Monday, January 8, 2007 / Notices 743 

information (PII) contained in the 

SADMS and only then for authorized 

SADMS purposes. Moreover, as stated 

above, no PII in SADMS will be 

disclosed in response to internal Army 

requests for information unless 

specifically approved for release first by 

the functional system owner(s) of the 

data and then by either the Assistant 

Deputy Chief of Staff, G–1 or the Deputy 

Assistant Secretary of the Army for 

Human Resources, either of whom must 

personally determine that the 

requester’s need to know is at least 

equal to, if not greater than, the 

potential impact of divulging the PII and 

that disclosure is otherwise consistent 

with law and regulation. Limiting 

SADMS access and disclosure authority 

will ensure that information 

management processes are firmly 

established across this small population 

of users. And finally, but most 

importantly, commanders or others will 

not have access to PII contained within 

SADMS. SADMS information will not 

be used to inform or influence 

command or legal process decisions 

with respect to either victims or 

offenders. Other than as described 

above, SADMS data is neither accessible 

by nor releasable to the general public 

except to the extent mandated by law, 

e.g., the Freedom of Information Act. As 

indicated above, great care is being 

taken, both technically and 

procedurally, to ensure that the privacy 

and confidentiality of the PII is 

preserved and protected. 

The commenters remark that persons 

accused of sexual assault may be 

exempt from being included in SADMS 

based upon rank or security clearance. 

We disagree. The term ‘‘exemptions’’

refers to statutory exemptions that an 

agency may claim for its record systems. 

As stated in the notice and exemption 

rule for the SADMS, an exemption has 

been claimed but only to the extent that 

the SADMS record is obtained from an 

Army information system for which an 

exemption has been previously claimed. 

In effect, SADMS will claim the same 

exemptions as claimed for the original 

system, but only if the purpose 

underlying the exemption for the 

original record still pertains to the 

record which is now contained in 

SADMS. Moreover, sexual assault 

incident reporting is not predicated on 

or affected by rank or security clearance. 

No one in the Army is exempt from 

inclusion in the SADMS if their 

information is captured and reported by 

one of the Army information systems 

identified in the SADMS systems notice. 

All reported incidents will be captured 

and where the investigative process 

determines an allegation to be founded, 

offender information will be maintained 

within the SADMS. Upon completion of 

actions by an offender’s chain of 

command, information on disposition of 

all judicial or nonjudicial and 

administrative actions adjudged and/or 

ordered will be maintained within the 

SADMS as well. 

The commenters observe that the 

system will infringe upon due process 

rights of victims and alleged offenders. 

We disagree. PII on alleged offenders 

will be added to the system after an 

allegation is determined to be 

‘‘founded’’ as reflected in the final 

report of investigation by the lead 

investigating agency. Final disposition 

of these charges, once completed, will 

also be maintained within SADMS 

records. As discussed above, no PII 

contained within SADMS will be 

disclosed in response to any request for 

information unless specifically 

approved for release first by SAPR 

program office and then by either the 

Assistant Deputy Chief of Staff, G–1 or 

the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the 

Army for Human Resources or 

otherwise required by law. As with the 

source systems, PII will remain 

protected under the Privacy Act. 

Administrative, physical and technical 

safeguards have been established to 

prevent unauthorized access to the 

information maintained in SADMS. 

Limitations on the number of personnel 

with direct system access to PII in 

SADMS support efforts to minimize/ 

eliminate unauthorized disclosure of 

this information. As discussed above, 

fewer than ten individuals in the Army 

will have direct system access to the 

personal identifying information in the 

system. This direct access to PII will be 

restricted to those individuals at the 

Army headquarters level who have an 

official need for this information in 

order to discharge their Army SAPR 

Program management responsibilities. 

If, and when, a decision is made to 

extend SADMS access beyond the Army 

SAPR Program Office, other Army users 

of the SADMS will not have access to 

personal identifying information 

contained within the system. Their 

access will be limited to aggregated, 

non-personal identifying information. 

Moreover, as stated above, commanders 

or others will not have access to PII 

contained in SADMS. SADMS 

information will not be used to inform 

or influence command or legal process 

decisions with respect to either victims 

or offenders. Additionally, ongoing 

education efforts will continually 

sensitize personnel authorized to view 

PII within SADMS that the privacy and 

confidentiality of the data must be 

preserved and protected, thereby 

ensuring that the data is only used as 

authorized. 

The commenters remark that the 

system is inconsistent with DoD 

confidentiality policy. We disagree. 

Sexual assault victims have two options 

for reporting incidents in accordance 

with the DoD Confidentiality policy: 

‘‘Unrestricted’’ or ‘‘Restricted’’

reporting. ‘‘Unrestricted’’ reporting 

allows a victim who is sexually 

assaulted and desires medical treatment, 

counseling, and an official investigation 

of his/her allegation to use current 

reporting channels. ‘‘Restricted’’

reporting means a victim can, on a 

confidential basis, disclose the details of 

his/her assault to the Sexual Assault 

Response Coordinator, victim advocate, 

chaplain or a healthcare provider and 

receive medical treatment and 

counseling, without triggering the 

official investigative process. Where 

victims choose restricted reporting, no 

PII will be contained within SADMS, 

nor will any combination of other 

potentially identifying information be 

maintained that could reasonably lead 

to the discovery of a victim’s identity. 

SADMS supports the DoD 

confidentiality policy and its intent of 

fostering the confidence of victims to 

report incidents of sexual assault. 

The commenters observe that SADMS 

will include detailed medical treatment 

information. We disagree. There will be 

no information provided to or 

maintained in SADMS concerning the 

substance or nature of medical care 

provided. Medical information is 

provided to the SADMS only when 

victims are Army servicemembers and 

elect unrestricted reporting. As 

indicated in the system notice, the data 

provided is limited to start and end 

dates of medical treatment resulting 

from sexual assault and the aggregate 

number of episodes of care received. 

In view of the foregoing discussion, 

we have made changes to the system 

notice in an effort to eliminate any 

potential ambiguity or lack of clarity 

that now exists. The changes do not 

substantively change the design of 

SADMS design or its present reliance on 

the use of personal identifying 

information to accurately correlate the 

data it will receive from the functional, 

Army data sources identified. 

Among the more significant changes 

are: 

We have simplified the description of 

the individuals covered by the system to 

make clear that the individual must be 

a uniformed member of the Army, as 

either a victim or an alleged perpetrator 

of a sexual assault, in order for his or 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
744 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 4 / Monday, January 8, 2007 / Notices 

her name, and data related to the sexual 

assault, to be included in the system of 

records. 

We have expanded the safeguards to 

explain in greater detail the protections 

afforded the system and to identify who 

will have access to the system. 

We have deleted the ‘‘Blanket Routine 

Uses’’ from the notice, finding that, in 

general, their inclusion is inconsistent 

with the objectives sought by the Army 

for this system.
