Relating to the Civil Service Commission and labor-management in the 
Federal Service; 5 CFR part 410, Office of Personnel Management--
Training; and E.O. 9397.

Purpose(s):
    Information is used to manage and administer training and 
development programs; to identify individual training needs; to screen 
and select candidates for training; and for reporting, forecasting, 
tracking, monitoring, and assessment purposes. Statistical data, with 
all personal identifiers removed, are used to compare training 
completion data among different DTRA activities.

Routine uses of records maintained in the system, including categories 
of users and the purposes of such uses:
    In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 
552a (b) of the Privacy Act, these records or information contained 
therein may specifically be disclosed outside the DoD as a routine use 
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a (b)(3) as follows:
    To the Department of Veterans Affairs for inspecting, surveying, 
auditing, or evaluating apprentice or on-the-job training programs.
    To the Department of Labor for inspecting, surveying, auditing, or 
evaluating apprentice training programs and other programs under its 
jurisdiction.
    To Federal, state, and local agencies and oversight entities to 
track, manage, and report on mandatory training requirements and 
certifications.
    To public and private sector educational, training, and 
conferencing entities for participant enrollment, tracking, evaluation, 
and payment reconciliation purposes.
    To Federal agencies for screening and selecting candidates for 
training or developmental programs sponsored by the agency.
    To Federal oversight agencies for investigating, reviewing, 
resolving, negotiating, settling, or hearing complaints, grievances, or 
other matters under its cognizance.
    The DoD ``Blanket Routine Uses'' set forth at the beginning of 
DTRA's compilation of systems of records notices apply to this system.

Policies and practices for storing, retrieving, accessing, retaining, 
and disposing of records in the system:
Storage:
    Records are stored in paper and electronic form.

Retrievability:
    Automated records may be retrieved by Social Security Number, name, 
logon identification, or by a combination of these data elements. 
Manual records are retrieved by employee last name.

Safeguards:
    Records are maintained in physical and electronic areas accessible 
only to DTRA personnel who must use the records to perform assigned 
duties. Physical access is limited through the use of locks, guards, 
card swipe, and other administrative procedures. The electronic records 
are deployed on accredited systems with access restricted by the use of 
login, password, and/or card swipe protocols. The web-based files are 
accessible only via the Agency's intranet, which is protected in 
accordance with approved information assurance protocols. Employees are 
warned through screen log-on protocols and periodic briefings of the 
consequences of improper access or use of the data on the Agency 
intranet. In addition, users are trained to lock or shutdown their 
workstations when leaving the work area. During non-duty hours, records 
are secured in access-controlled buildings, offices, cabinets or 
computer systems.

Retention and disposal:
    Training files are destroyed when 5 years old or when superseded, 
whichever is sooner. Employee agreements, individual training plans, 
progress reports, and similar records used in intern, upward mobility, 
career management, and similar developmental training programs are 
destroyed 1 year after employee has completed the program.
