SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: USAID is proposing to alter its system of 
records pursuant to the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a), entitled the 
Deployment Tracking System (DTS). This system was established to 
support USAID's responsibilities as part of an interagency effort led 
by the Department of State, known as the Civilian Response Corps (CRC). 
In order to participate as a partner agency, USAID must have mechanisms 
in place to identify, assign or employ personnel with appropriate skill 
sets and have the ability to mobilize these resources rapidly in 
response to stabilization crisis.
    USAID is proposing to alter its ``Deployment Tracking System 
Records'' to increase the categories of records contained within the 
system of records.

[[Page 39615]]

This expansion is needed in order to fully participate with the other 
partner agencies and meet the data collection requirements of the CRC. 
USAID proposes to add the following categories of records: Citizenship, 
military service information, social security number, medical clearance 
information and security clearance information. This information is 
required by the CRC to help determine which individuals are appropriate 
for each mission, assist in coordinating visas, registering individuals 
on military flights, ensuring individuals are properly cleared for 
deployment and determining if an individual has the appropriate 
clearances to attend briefings.

Chief Privacy Officer.
