Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary of Defense, DoD.

ACTION: Notice to add a System of Records.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, and Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular No. A-130, notice is hereby 
given that the Office of the Secretary of Defense proposes to add a new 
system of records, DSCA 06, entitled ``Defense Security Assistance 
Management System (DSAMS).'' The system will facilitate case 
development, implementation, and management of the Foreign Military 
Sales and International Military Education and Training (IMET) 
Programs. The DSAMS Training Module (DSAMS-TM) is used to manage 
training activities of individuals who have been selected by the U.S. 
government to attend various Department of Defense (DoD) security 
cooperation training courses.

[[Page 62485]]

    In establishing this system of records, the Defense Security 
Cooperation Agency reviewed the safeguards established for the system 
to ensure they are compliant with the DoD's requirements and are 
appropriate to the sensitivity of the information stored within the 
system. Any specific routine uses have been reviewed to ensure the 
minimum amount of personally identifiable information is provided to 
other federal agencies requesting emergency language support to 
facilitate U.S. efforts on the war on terrorism or in furtherance of 
national security objectives.

DATES: Comments will be accepted on or before October 11, 2016. This 
proposed action will be effective the date following the end of the 
comment period unless comments are received which result in a contrary 
determination.
