BILLING CODE 3710–08–P 

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Office of the Secretary 

[Docket ID: DoD–2022–OS–0064] 

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, 

Department of Defense (DoD). 

ACTION: Notice of a modified system of 

records. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Privacy Act of 1974, the DoD is 

modifying and reissuing a current 

system of records titled, ‘‘Defense 

Enrollment Eligibility Reporting 

Systems (DEERS),’’ DMDC 02 DoD. This 

system of records was originally 

established by the Defense Manpower 

Data Center to collect and maintain 

records that are used to manage the 

issuance of DoD identification cards, 

manage physical and logical access to 

DoD facilities and to provide a database 

for determining DoD entitlements and 

privileges. Additionally, DEERS is used 

to support DoD healthcare management 

programs, assess manpower and support 

personnel and readiness functions. This 

system of records notice (SORN) is 

being updated to support additional 

information sharing of records outside 

of the DoD in order to streamline the 

DoD identification card issuance 

process. In addition, it clarifies the 

routine use governing the data sharing 

DoD utilizes in support of the Public 

Service Forgiveness loan program and it 

expands the routine use governing the 

data sharing in support of the 

Unemployment Compensation for Exservice members to state workforce 

agencies, or to the Department of Labor 

contractors or grantees. This 

modification revises the routine uses. 

The new routine use will allow DoD to 

disclose information to the Government 

Publishing Office (GPO). 

DATES: This system of records is 

effective upon publication; however, 

comments on the Routine Uses will be 

accepted on or before June 30, 2022. The 

Routine Uses are effective at the close of 

the comment period. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by docket number and title, 

by either of the following methods: 

* Federal Rulemaking Portal: https://

www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments. 

* Mail: Department of Defense, Office 

of the Assistant to the Secretary of 

Defense for Privacy, Civil Liberties, and 

Transparency, Regulatory Directorate, 

4800 Mark Center Drive, Attn: 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 

viewing on the internet at https://

www.regulations.gov as they are 

received without change, including any 

personal identifiers or contact 

information. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Sam Peterson, DMDC Privacy Officer,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The DEERS system of records is used 

to manage the issuance of DoD badges 

and identification cards, i.e., Common 

Access Cards (CACs) or beneficiary 

identification cards. In addition, this 

system of records is used to authenticate 

and identify DoD affiliated personnel 

(e.g., contractors) and manage physical 

and logical access to DoD facilities. This 

modification will allow DoD 

Identification (ID) cardholders to 

request renewal of their CAC online as 

part of a pilot program. The pilot 

program postures the GPO to more 

efficiently produce and distribute the 

DoD ID cards on behalf of and in 

conjunction with DoD. Implementation 

of the online DoD ID card issuance 

capability presents an opportunity for 

increased convenience for cardholders 

and overall cost savings to the 

Department. In support of this initiative 

and subject to public comment, DoD is 

adding new routine use (KK) for this 

system of records. This routine use 

would allow for disclosure of 

information to the GPO to facilitate 

GPO’s role in supporting the production 

and distribution of CAC cards on behalf 

of the DoD. 

Additionally, subject to public 

comment, the DoD is modifying existing 

routine use (F), which currently permits 

disclosures of information to entities 

engaged in financial and legal 

transactions with Service members. The 

modification will clarify and broaden 

this routine use to support disclosures 

to these same entities to facilitate 

communication with Service members 

and to support student loan forgiveness 

programs. 

DoD SORNs have been published in 

the Federal Register and are available 

from the address in FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT or at the Office of 

the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense 

for Privacy, Civil Liberties, and 

Transparency (OATSD(PCLT)) website 

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

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, 

OATSD(PCLT) has provided a report of 

this system of records to the OMB and 

to Congress.

PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: 

In addition to those disclosures 

generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 

552a(b) of the Privacy Act of 1974, as

contractors, the Transportation Security 

Administration and other federal 

transportation agencies, for purposes of

individuals who, incident to the 

conduct of official business, present the 

CAC or other valid identification as 

proof of identity to gain physical or 

logical access to government and 

contractor facilities, locations, networks, 

systems, or programs. 

B. To Federal and State agencies to 

validate demographic data (e.g., SSN, 

citizenship status, date and place of 

birth, etc.) for individuals in DMDC 

personnel and pay files so that accurate 

information is available in support of 

DoD requirements. 

C. To the Social Security 

Administration for the purpose of 

verifying an individual’s identity. 

D. To the DVA: 

1. To provide uniformed service 

personnel (pay, wounded, ill, and

separating eligible Reservists of their 

right to apply for Veteran’s Group Life

used to process all DVA award actions 

more efficiently, reduce subsequent 

overpayment collection actions, and 

minimize erroneous payments. 

5. To provide identifying uniformed 

service personnel data to the DVA for 

the purpose of notifying such personnel

employment information necessary to 

determine initial and continuing 

eligibility for the TRICARE Reserve 

Select (TRS) program and the TRICARE 

Retired Reserve (TRR) program

TRICARE programs). Reserve 

Component members who are not 

eligible for FEHB program are eligible 

for TRS (10 U.S.C. 1076d) or TRR (10 

U.S.C. 1076e).

5. Providing data to the Centers for 

Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS), 

HHS, for the purpose of identifying DoD 

eligible beneficiaries both over and 

under the age of 65 who are Medicare 

eligible. Current law requires the 

Defense Health Agency to discontinue 

military health care benefits to Military 

Health Services beneficiaries who are 

Medicare eligible unless they are 

enrolled in Medicare Part B. 

H. To the CMS, HHS, for the purpose 

of verifying individual’s healthcare 

eligibility status, in accordance with the 

Affordable Care Act. Data provided to 

CMS will be used to make eligibility 

determinations for insurance 

affordability programs, administered by 

Medicaid, the Children’s Health 

Insurance Program, the Basic Health

and in response to a National Medical 

Support Notice (NMSN) (or equivalent 

notice if based upon the statutory 

authority for the NMSN), regarding the 

military status of identified individuals 

and whether, and for what period of 

time, the children of such individuals 

are or were eligible for DoD health care 

coverage. NOTE: Information requested 

by the states is not disclosed when it 

would contravene U.S. national policy 

or security interests (42 U.S.C. 653(e)). 

O. To the HHS: 

1. For purposes of providing 

information, consistent with the 

requirements of 42 U.S.C. 653 and in 

response to an HHS request, regarding 

the military status of identified 

individuals and whether the children of 

such individuals are or were eligible for 

DoD healthcare coverage and for what 

period of time they were eligible. NOTE:
