DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary

32 CFR Part 310

[DoD Reg. 5400.11-R]


DoD Privacy Program

AGENCY: Department of Defense.
ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Defense Privacy Office is amending Appendix C to 32 CFR 
Part 310 by adding a new Department of Defense `Blanket Routine Use'.
EFFECTIVE DATE: April 16, 1997.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Vahan Moushegian, Jr., at (703) 
607-2943.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    The `Blanket Routine Use' was previously published on February 13, 
1987 at 52 FR 4645, and then amended on May 5, 1987 at 52 FR 16431.
Executive Order 12866. It has been determined that this Privacy Act 
rule for the Department of Defense does not constitute `significant 
regulatory action'. Analysis of the rule indicates that it does not 
have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more; does not 
create a serious inconsistency or otherwise interfere with an action 
taken or planned by another agency; does not materially alter the 
budgetary impact of entitlements, grants, user fees, or loan programs 
or the rights and obligations of recipients thereof; does not raise 
novel legal or policy issues arising out of legal mandates, the 
President's priorities, or the principles set forth in Executive Order 
12866.
Regulatory Flexibility Act. It has been determined that this Privacy 
Act rule for the Department of Defense does not have significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because it is 
concerned only with the administration of Privacy Act systems of 
records within the Department of Defense.
Paperwork Reduction Act. It has been determined that this Privacy Act 
rule for the Department of Defense imposes no information requirements 
beyond the Department of Defense and that the information collected 
within the Department of Defense is necessary and consistent with 5 
U.S.C. 552a, known as the Privacy Act, and 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35.

List of Subjects in 32 CFR Part 310

    Accordingly, 32 CFR part 310 is amended as follows:

    2. Appendix C to part 310 is amended by adding paragraph N as 
follows:

Appendix C to Part 310-DoD Blanket Routine Uses

* * * * *
    N.  Routine Use-Counterintelligence Purpose
    A record from a system of records maintained by this component may 
be disclosed as a routine use outside the DoD or the U.S. Government

protect the national security of the United States.
