SUMMARY: The Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) proposes to

Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) with a procedure to improve 
international outreach efforts as well as foster collaboration among 
their faculty, current and former students, OSD, and other designated 
Department of Defense (DoD) educational institutions and communities. 
The GlobalNET platform provides a collaborative social networking 
environment/capability for students, alumni, faculty, partners, and 
other community members.

proposed action will be effective the date following the end of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of the Secretary of Defense 
proposes to modify a system of records subject to the Privacy Act of 
1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a. The GlobalNET Outreach and Collaboration Platform 
(DSCA 02) is a web based information technology platform to improve 
international partner outreach and collaboration efforts in a federated 
environment. The system collects information on students in order to 
allow them to share information with peers, faculty, and regional 
center personnel. GlobalNET is the official DSCA system for performing 
alumni outreach, facilitating alumnus/professor communication and peer-
to-peer communications (or social networking).
    As a result of reviewing this system of records notice, the DSCA 
proposes to modify this system by updating the following sections: 
Categories of individuals, categories of records, authorities, routine 
uses, retention and disposal, notification procedure, record access 
procedures, and record source categories. This notice also reflects 
changes to ensure compliance with Office of Management and Budget 
Circular A-108.
    The OSD notices for systems of records subject to the Privacy Act 
of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), as amended, have been published in the Federal 
Register and are available from the address in FOR FURTHER INFORMATION 
CONTACT or at the Defense Privacy and Civil Liberties Division website 
at https://defense.gov/privacy.
    The proposed system report, as required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) of the 
Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, was submitted on February 27, 2018 to 
the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, the Senate 
Committee on Governmental Affairs, and the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB).
