participation in the Telework Program, minus personal identifiers, is 
provided in management reports and to the DoD for a consolidated 
response to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) annual data call.

sum warrant an alteration to the systems of records notice. The 
applicable DoD Routine Uses have been incorporated in the notice to 
provide clarity for the public. Additionally, the categories of 
individuals has been updated to clearly identify the population of 
individuals who are included in the system of records and the 
categories of records has been updated to better define the information 
collected in the records. There are also modifications to system name, 
system location, authority, purpose, storage, retrievability, 
safeguards, retention and disposal, system manager(s) and address, 
notification procedure, record access procedures, and record source 
categories.
