It provides the Military Health System (MHS) (including Health Affairs, the TRICARE Management Activity, and the JMISO Office) with a comprehensive enterprise human resource system with capabilities to manage our personnel, manpower, education & training, labor cost assignment, and readiness functional areas. Everyone in the MHS—Active Duty, Reserves, National Guard, government civilian, contractor, and volunteer—assigned or borrowed, will be accounted for in DMHRSi. Most JMIS products are designed for deployment to medical facilities and PO 00000 Frm 00020 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 field use. DMHRSi has applicability at the headquarters level allowing JMIS to use this product to conduct its own dayto-day workforce management. This comprehensive tool provides the capability to manage positions, develop telephone rosters, monitor individual training status, etc. Deciding to implement DMHRSi within all JMIS program offices, provides a great opportunity to LEAD BY EXAMPLE using the application just as we expect those ‘‘in the field’’ to do. The information in DMHRSi is sometimes personal or sensitive; therefore it contains built-in safeguards to limit access and visibility of this information. DMHRSi uses role-based security so a user sees only the information for which permission has been granted. It uses state-of-the-market 128-bit encryption security for our transactions. It is DITSCAP certified, having been subjected to and passed thorough security testing and evaluation by independent parties. It meets safeguards specified by the Privacy Act of 1974 in that it maintains a published Department of Defense (DoD) Privacy Impact Assessment and System of Record covering Active Duty Military, Reserve, National Guard, and government civilian employees, to include non-appropriated fund employees and foreign nationals, DoD contractors, and volunteers. DMHRSi is hosted in a secure facility managed by the Defense Information Systems Agency. For JMIS military and government civilian personnel, most of the required data is received from Service or DoD source systems. However, there may be some additional data entered locally. For contract support personnel, records must be created. So, the first step to implement DMHRSi in JMIS is to collect selected data and have it entered into the application. JMIS will provide templates to ease this initial data gathering process. Once the initial record is created, there is some data such as local address and phone number that each employee can review and maintain individually. This is accomplished through the DMHRSi Employee Self-Service interface. Therefore, the second step to implement DMHRSi in JMIS is for all personnel to complete two online courses, Introduction to DMHRSi and DMHRSi Employee Self-Service. Training is through the MHS Learning Management System—MHS Learn— accessed at https:// mhslearn.satx.disa.mil. MHS Learn guidance including login instructions and timelines for completion will be provided separately. E:\FR\FM\26JAN1.SGM 26JAN1

Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) for individuals not 
pre-enrolled in the DEERS, and to maintain a centralized database of 
individuals eligible for a DoD identification card. This information is 
used to establish eligibility for the DoD Common Access Card (CAC) for 
individuals that are either employed by or associated with the 
Department of Defense. The information also provides a source of data 
for demographic reports.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 300,000.
    Number of Respondents: 500,000.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.

    Frequency: On occasion.
    Summary of Information Collected: The DD Form 1172-2, Application 
for Department of Defense Common Access Card--DEERS Enrollment, the 
form associated with this information collection, is used to collect 
relevant data (e.g., name, identifying information, employment status, 
citizenship) from the respondent. The data collected establish 
eligibility for the appropriate DoD Common Access Card for those 
individuals not pre-enrolled in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility 
Reporting System (DEERS).
    The Homeland Security Presidential Directive--12 (HSPD-12), dated 
August 27, 2004, directed the promulgation of a Federal standard for 
secure and reliable forms of identification for Federal Employees and 
contractors that will be interoperable among the Federal departments 
and agencies. The Department of Defense is in the process of adjusting 
the Common Access Card (CAC) program so that it meets the requirements 
of HSPD-12.
    HSPD-12 mandates smart card technology and supports the use of 
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to make access control decisions for 
both logical access to computer systems and physical access to federal 
facilities. PKI is a key and certificate management infrastructure 
designed to support confidentiality, integrity, availability, 
authorization, and access control for both computer networks and 
physical access. Public Law 106-65, Section 373, codified at 10 United 
States Code annotated, ``other provisions,'' directs the Department to 
develop and implement a Smart Card program. The Deputy Secretary of 
Defense memorandum, dated November 10, 1999, ``Smart Card Adoption and 
Implementation,'' directs the implementation of smart card technology 
as a Department-wide Common Access Card (CAC) that shall be: The 
standard ID card for active duty military personnel (to include the 
Selected Reserve); DoD civilian employees, eligible contractor 
personnel and other eligible personnel; the principal card used to 
enable physical access to buildings and controlled spaces; and will be 
used to gain access to the Department's computer networks and systems. 
The Deputy Secretary directs the CAC shall be issued and maintained 
using the infrastructure provided by the Defense Enrollment Eligibility 
Reporting System and the Real-time Automated Personnel Identification 
System (RAPIDS).
    Individuals included in this information collection are eligible 
contractor employees, eligible, foreign national personnel and other 
eligible individuals outside of the DoD. Personnel included in this 
information collection are considered to be eligible for a CAC if they 
require logical access to DoD computer systems, are eligible for DoD 
benefits and entitlements,
