The Office of the Secretary of Defense 

is proposing to establish a new 

Department of Defense ‘‘Blanket Routine 

Use’’ (BRU) that will apply to each of its 

current Privacy Act system of records. 

The BRU will permit the disclosure of 

information, as necessary, in connection 

with, and in response to, a data breach 

of information that identifies an 

individual for purposes of taking such 

remedial actions as considered 

appropriate to prevent or minimize 

potential harms that may result to an 

individual as a consequence of the 

breach. 

The proposed systems reports, as 

required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) of the 

Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, were 

submitted on May 2, 2007, to the House 

Committee on Oversight and 

Government Reform, the Senate 

Committee on Homeland Security and 

Governmental Affairs, and the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

pursuant to paragraph 4c of Appendix I 

to OMB Circular No. A–130, ‘‘Federal 

Agency Responsibilities for Maintaining 

Records About Individuals,’’ dated 

February 8, 1996 (February 20, 1996, 61

ROUTINE USE—DATA BREACH REMEDIATION

PURPOSES: 

‘‘A record from a system of records 

maintained by a Component may be 

disclosed to appropriate agencies, 

entities, and persons when (1) The 

Component suspects or has confirmed 

that the security or confidentiality of the 

information in the system of records has 

been compromised; (2) the Component 

has determined that as a result of the 

suspected or confirmed compromise 

there is a risk of harm to economic or 

property interests, identity theft or 

fraud, or harm to the security or 

integrity of this system or other systems 

or programs (whether maintained by the 

Component or another agency or entity) 

that rely upon the compromised 

information; and (3) the disclosure 

made to such agencies, entities, and 

persons is reasonably necessary to assist 

in connection with the Components 

efforts to respond to the suspected or 

confirmed compromise and prevent, 

minimize, or remedy such harm.’’

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section

that the Office of Management and

Federal agencies and the public an early 

opportunity to comment on information 

collection requests. OMB may amend or 

waive the requirement for public 

consultation to the extent that public

with any agency’s ability to perform its 

statutory obligations. The IC Clearance 

Official, Regulatory Information 

Management Services, Office of 

Management, publishes that notice 

containing proposed information 

collection requests prior to submission 

of these requests to OMB. Each 

proposed information collection, 

grouped by office, contains the 

following: (1) Type of review requested, 

e.g. new, revision, extension, existing or 

reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) Summary of 

the collection; (4) Description of the 

need for, and proposed use of, the 

information; (5) Respondents and 

frequency of collection; and (6) 

Reporting and/or Recordkeeping 

burden. OMB invites public comment. 

The Department of Education is 

especially interested in public comment 

addressing the following issues: (1) Is 

this collection necessary to the proper 

functions of the Department; (2) will 

this information be processed and used 

in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate 

of burden accurate; (4) how might the 

Department enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (5) how might the 

Department minimize the burden of this 

collection on the respondents, including 

through the use of information 

technology.
