commuter costs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

DoD is establishing the Defense Mass 

Transportation Benefits Records 

(DMTBR), DoD–0009, as a DoD-wide 

Privacy Act system of records. A DoDwide system of records notice (SORN) 

supports multiple DoD paper or 

electronic recordkeeping systems 

operated by more than one DoD 

component that maintain the same kind 

of information about individuals for the 

same purpose. Establishment of DoDwide SORNs helps DoD standardize the 

rules governing the collection, 

maintenance, use, and sharing of 

personal information in key areas across 

the enterprise. DoD-wide SORNs also 

reduce duplicative and overlapping 

SORNs published by separate DoD 

components. The creation of DoD-wide 

SORNs is expected to make locating 

relevant SORNs easier for DoD 

personnel and the public, and create 

efficiencies in the operation of the DoD 

privacy program. 

The DoD Mass Transportation Benefit 

Program encourages employees to use 

mass transit for commuting to and from 

work by offering a commuter subsidy as 

an incentive. The purpose of the 

program is to reduce traffic congestion 

and pollution and to improve employee 

quality of life by providing them 

commuting flexibility through multiple 

transportation alternatives. DoD 

provides mass transportation benefits to 

offset commuting costs to active duty 

Service members and civilian personnel 

(to include NAF employees), as 

authorized by law and regulation. The 

program covers a wide variety of 

alternative transportation modes such as 

vanpools, commuter trains, and local 

busses. 

DoD SORNs have been published in 

the Federal Register and are available 

from the address in FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT or at the Privacy, 

Civil Liberties, and FOIA Directorate 

website at https://dpcld.defense.gov. 

II. Privacy Act 

Under the Privacy Act, a ‘‘system of 

records’’ is a group of records under the 

control of an agency from which 

information is retrieved by the name of 

an individual or by some identifying 

number, symbol, or other identifying 

particular assigned to the individual. In 

the Privacy Act, an individual is defined 

as a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent 

resident. 

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) 

and Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) Circular No. A–108, DoD has 

provided a report of this system of 

records to OMB and to Congress. 

Dated: January 4, 2022.
