Federal Register :: Department of Defense Privacy Program
A Rule by the Defense Department on 11/22/2005
70 FR 70489
70489-70491 (3 pages)
05-23070
PART 310—DOD PRIVACY PROGRAM
https://www.federalregister.gov/d/05-23070 https://www.federalregister.gov/d/05-23070
The Department of Defense updates policies and responsibilities for the Defense Privacy Program which implements the Privacy Act of 1974 by showing organizational changes and realignments and by revising referenced statutory and regulatory authority.
Effective Date: November 7, 2005.
The proposed rule was published September 7, 2005 at 70 FR 53135. No comments were received. The Office of the Secretary is therefore adopting the rule as published.
It has been determined that Privacy Act rules for the Department of Defense do not have significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because they are concerned only with the administration of Privacy Act systems of records within the Department of Defense.Start Printed Page 70490
