DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Army 

[Docket ID USA–2018–HQ–0014] 

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of a modified system of 

records. 

SUMMARY: The Department of the Army 

is modifying its system of records notice 

entitled ‘‘Army Career Tracker (ACT), 

A0350–1b TRADOC’’. The Army Career 

Tracker (ACT) enables Soldiers and 

Army civilians world-wide with career 

development and transition resources. 

ACT provides users with a more 

efficient and effective way to monitor 

their career development while allowing 

leaders to track and advise subordinates 

on personalized leadership 

development. As a leader development 

tool, it integrates data on training, 

education, and experiential learning 

from a number of source systems into 

one personalized and easy to use 

interface. ACT allows supervisors to 

track and advise employees on their 

leadership development and allows 

career program managers the ability to 

reach their geographically dispersed 

careerists. The Total Army Sponsorship 

Program is also administered through 

ACT. The sponsorship program 

provides Soldiers, Army civilians, and 

their families with resources to facilitate 

their transition and/or relocation 

between commands and duty 

assignments. 

DATES: Comments will be accepted on or 

before July 23, 2018. This proposed 

action will be effective the date 

following the end of the comment 

period unless comments are received 

which result in a contrary 

determination. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by docket number and title, 

by any of the following methods: 

* Federal Rulemaking Portal: http://

www.regulations.gov. 

Follow the instructions for submitting 

comments. 

* Mail: Department of Defense, Office 

of the Chief Management Officer, 

Directorate of Oversight and 

Compliance, 4800 Mark Center Drive, 

Mailbox #24, Suite 08D09, Alexandria, 

VA 22350–1700. 

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Army 

Career Tracker, initially implemented in 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 121 / Friday, June 22, 2018 / Notices 29105 

2011, is managed by the U.S. Army 

Training and Doctrine Command 

(TRADOC). It was developed under the 

authority of 5 U.S.C. 4103, 

Establishment of training programs and 

10 U.S.C. 3013, Secretary of the Army. 

The ACT is a career management and 

development tool for Army enlisted, 

Officer, and civilian employees. While 

use of ACT is required for Soldiers, it 

is voluntary for the Army civilian 

workforce. The ACT leverages existing 

Army systems to capture and present 

career management data pertaining to 

training, education, and job 

assignments; it provides unique 

capabilities and does not replace or 

eliminate any other Army system of 

records. The system allows users to: 

Search course catalogs in Army training 

systems to identify courses they want to 

add to their Individual Development 

Plans (IDP); create IDP for short and 

long term goals; map out events, 

decision points, and outcomes; track 

progress against known career 

benchmarks; and receive personalized 

advice from mentors and leadership. 

This easy-to-use portal, effectively 

charts the user’s career progression, 

manages career development activities, 

and connects the individual to mentors. 

Additionally, ACT is the Army 

enterprise application that automates 

the sponsorship process for personnel 

relocations. The system ensures a 

virtual handshake between transitioning 

Soldiers and civilians and their 

designated sponsor prior to departure 

from the unit of current assignment. 

Army transitioning personnel utilize 

ACT to make known their sponsorship 

needs via the Department of the Army 

(DA) Form 5434, Sponsorship Program 

Counseling and Information Sheet, as 

part of the reassignment management 

process. The completed DA Form 5434 

is transmitted to the gaining unit of 

assignment to ensure personnel receive 

information and assistance needed 

during their relocation. The automated 

and collaborative functions of the 

system are used to identify sponsors, 

send notifications, monitor status, 

provide reporting mechanism, and 

conduct individual satisfaction surveys. 

This system of records notice is being 

modified to include four routine uses 

that were omitted in the previous 

notice. The additional routine uses are 

for disclosures to: DoD contractors in 

the performance of the contract; to the 

National Archives and Records 

Administration for records inspection 

purposes; and to another Federal agency 

for breach mitigation and notification. 

In addition, the authorities were 

updated to include 10 U.S.C. 1056, 

Relocation Assistance, which is the 

implementing statute for Army 

Regulation 600–8–8, The Total Army 

Sponsorship Program. The categories of 

records was revised to clarify what 

information is collected on the DA Form 

5434, and the description of the 

safeguards was expanded to address 

administrative and physical measures 

that are currently utilized to protect the 

system of records. All other changes to 

this notice are administrative in nature. 

The DoD is publishing the notice in its 

entirety to comply with current 

standards and formatting requirements 

prescribed in OMB Circular A–108, 

‘‘Federal Agency Responsibilities for 

Review, Reporting, and Publication 

under the Privacy Act.’’ 

The Department of the Army’s notices 

for system of records subject to the 

Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, have 

been published in the Federal Register 

and are available from the address in 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT or 

from the Defense Privacy, Civil 

Liberties, and Transparency Division 

website at http://defense.gov/privacy. 

The proposed systems reports, as 

required by the Privacy Act, as 

amended, were submitted on April 27, 

2018, 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 OMB Circular No. 

A–108, ‘‘Federal Agency 

Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, 

and Publication Under the Privacy Act,’’

biographical data from several Army 

information systems and presents a 

comprehensive and personalized view

monitor the individual’s goals and 

provide them developmental 

recommendations, notifications and 

career advice. Supervisors can view 

records for both their civilian and 

military employees.
