    In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C.

herein may specifically be disclosed outside the DoD as a routine use 
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) as follows:
    1. Law Enforcement Routine Use: If a system of records maintained 
by a DoD Component to carry out its functions indicates a violation or 
potential violation of law, whether civil, criminal, or regulatory in 
nature, and whether arising by general statute or by regulation, rule, 
or order issued pursuant thereto, the relevant records in the system of 
records may be referred, as a routine use, to the agency concerned, 
whether federal, state, local, or foreign, charged with the 
responsibility of investigating or prosecuting such violation or 
charged with enforcing or implementing the statute, rule, regulation, 
or order issued pursuant thereto.
    2. Congressional Inquiries Disclosure Routine Use: Disclosure from 
a system of records maintained by a DoD Component may be made to a 
congressional office from the record of an individual in response to an 
inquiry from the congressional office made at the request of that 
individual.
    3. Disclosures Required by International Agreements Routine Use: A 
record from a system of records maintained by a DoD Component may be 
disclosed to foreign law enforcement, security, investigatory, or 
administrative authorities to comply with requirements imposed by, or 
to claim rights conferred in, international agreements and arrangements 
including those regulating the stationing and status in foreign 
countries of DoD military and civilian personnel.
    4. Disclosure to the Department of Justice for Litigation Routine 
Use: A record from a system of records maintained by a DoD Component 
may be disclosed as a routine use to any component of the Department of

management inspections conducted under authority of 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 
2906.
    6. Data Breach Remediation Purposes Routine Use: A record from a 
system of records maintained by a Component may be disclosed to 
appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when (1) The Component 
suspects or has confirmed that the security or confidentiality of the 
information in the system of records has been compromised; (2) the 
Component has determined that as a result of the

[[Page 78414]]

suspected or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to economic 
or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the security 
or integrity of this system or other systems or programs (whether 
maintained by the Component or another agency or entity) that rely upon 
the compromised information; and (3) the disclosure made to such 
agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to assist in 
connection with the Components efforts to respond to the suspected or 
confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm.
