[Docket ID USN-2018-HQ-0014]


Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DoD.

ACTION: Notice of a modified system of records.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Office of the Department of the Navy proposes to modify a 
system of records, Family and Unaccompanied Housing Program, NM1110-01. 
This system is used for Department of Defense (DoD) housing program 
management and therefore used to determine the eligibility of civilian 
and contract personnel to utilize government owned, leased and 
privatized housing for current and retired military and to provide 
housing services at military installations and enterprise reporting and 
performance metrics. The system also provides a public website for 
property owners and managers to advertise referral properties to 
Service members. This system is required to ensure timely and efficient 
DoD housing operations, products and services.

DATES: Comments will be accepted on or before October 5, 2018. This 
proposed action will be effective on the date following the end of the 
comment period unless comments are received which will 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, Alexandria, VA 22350-1700.
    Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name 
and docket number for this Federal Register document. The general

Privacy Act Program Office, Department of the Navy, 2000 Navy Pentagon, 
Washington, DC 20350-2000, or by phone at (202) 685-6546.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This system was established to automate 
housing program management and provide enterprise reporting and program 
metrics. 10 U.S.C. chapter 169 provides authorities for the DoD housing 
programs which require a modern, secure, information system for 
operations, monitoring, compliance and reporting. The SORN is updated 
to reflect the Navy system and is now named Enterprise Military Housing 
(EMH). The system is also utilized by the Army (DA), Marines (Included 
in DON), Air Force (DAF) and Coast Guard (CG). Data elements collected 
have also been revised to include additional personal contact 
information such as cell phone, email and DoD ID, and to reflect a new 
source, property managers and owners. Additional parties have been 
added within the new routine uses for the system. These new parties 
include, DoD Medical Commands, the Department of Housing and Urban 
Development, the Department of Justice, State, Federal, local, foreign, 
and international law enforcement agencies, the National Archives and 
Records Administration, members of Congress, and other Federal 
entities.
    The Department of the Navy's notices for systems 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 and Civil Liberties 
Division website at http://defense.gov/privacy.
    The proposed system report, as required by the Privacy Act of 1974, 
as amended, was submitted on June 5, 2018, to the House Committee on 
Oversight and Government Reform, the Senate Committee on Governmental 
Affairs, and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) pursuant to
