and implements the provisions of 45

of the Coast Guard or members of the

Coast Guard’s jurisdiction. This notice 

updates the April 28, 2003, notice by

adding the reference, Commandant

military command authorities to assure 

the proper execution of the military

Security, when the Coast Guard is not 

operating as a service in the Department

proper execution of the military 

mission. 

3. Purposes for which protected 

health information may be used or 

disclosed. For purposes of paragraph 1, 

the purposes for which any and all of 

the protected health information of an 

individual who is a member of the 

Armed Forces may be used or disclosed
