DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
[Docket No. DOL–2021–09669]
Privacy Act of 1974; System of
Records
Transition Assistance Program,
Veterans’ Training and Employment
Service, Department of Labor.
ACTION: Notice of a new system of
records.
AGENCY:
Employment Navigators will
be located on-site at specific military
installations. Their primary duty is to
assist transitioning service members by
finding suitable employment before the
transition to the civilian workforce
occurs. This can be done directly, or
with assistance from an approved
Veterans’ Employment and Training
Service (VETS) partner entity. A cloudbased case management system is
required to collect certain key data
elements, including personally
identifiable (PII) information, for the
purposes of employment outcome
analysis and return on investment
calculations. Because of the nature of
geographic spread of Employment
Navigators, Transition Assistance
Program (TAP) partners, and VETS staff,
a cloud-based data entry and reporting
system must be available to all users
wherever internet access is available.
The PII will be matched with external
data sources, such as the National
Directory of New Hires, to produce
validated employment outcomes, as
well as reducing burden on
Employment Navigators to conduct
follow-up assessments with services
members or veterans.
DATES: This System of Records Notice
(SORN) is effective upon its publication
in today’s Federal Register with the
exception of the routine uses. The new
routine uses will not be effective until
June 9, 2021 pending public comment.
Comments on the new routine uses or
other aspects of the SORN must be
submitted on or before June 9, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

partner. This is a new DOL data
collection system.
SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:
Employment Navigator Case
Management System; DOL/VETS–7
SECURITY CLASSIFICATION:
None.
SYSTEM LOCATION:
Primary location: Offices in various
components within the U.S. Department
of Labor, at the Frances Perkins
Building, 200 Constitution Avenue NW,
Washington, DC 20210, or other
Department offices. Additionally,
duplicate versions of some or all system
information may also be at satellite
locations where VETS has granted direct
access to support VETS operations,
system backup, emergency
preparedness, and/or continuity of
operations. To determine the location of
particular program records, contact the
system manager, listed in section
‘‘SYSTEM MANAGER’’ below.

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:
Defense Manpower Data Center Data
Base, November 23, 2011, 76 FR 72391;
38 U.S.C. 4102, Job Counseling,
Training, and Placement Service for
Veterans; and 10 U.S.C. 1142, Preseparation Counselling; E.O. 9397. And
pursuant to 10 U.S. Code § 1144
Employment assistance, job training
assistance, and other transitional
services: Department of Labor. The
above referenced section requires DOL
to ‘‘establish and maintain a program to
furnish counseling, assistance in
identifying employment and training
opportunities, help in obtaining such
employment and training, and other
related information and services to
members of the armed forces under the
jurisdiction of the Secretary concerned
who are being separated from active
duty and the spouses of such members.’’
However, there is currently no way to
measure the effectiveness or capture
best practices of this requirement.
Congress and the Office of Management
and Budget have mentioned a great
desire for DOL to be able to provide
return-on-investment performance
metrics for this program requirement.
This requires analyzing data pertaining
to all transitioning service members.
The Department of Defense maintains
this dataset, and will share the
information with DOL through an
established Memorandum of
Understanding.
PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM:
The purpose of the proposed system
is to enable transitioning service
members and recently separated
veterans’ assistance in finding the bestfit career as quickly as possible. The
system will allow Employment
Navigators and partners to capture
necessary information for DOL to
conduct employment outcome analysis.
The case management/reporting system
should have three separate functions,
with three separate roles assigned to
users. The first module will allow for
Employment Navigators to enter
individual record data for each
participant (transitioning service
member) into the system. This
information will be personal
characteristics, services offered, and/or
referral information. The second module
will be accessible by TAP partner
entities who will provide information
on services they provided, and
outcomes such as job placements,
occupation employed in, and wages

earned at start of employment. The last
module will be accessible by internal
DOL/VETS staff who wish to extract
data entered in the first two modules
mentioned above. DOL staff should be
able to view logs of data entered in the
system, create a data extract, and view
canned reports created from either
module.
CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE
SYSTEM:
Exiting service members participating
in the United States Department of
Defense (DOD) Pre-separation
Counseling of the Transition Assistance
Program (TAP) who complete
documentation.
CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
Data securely stored in the system
will include personal characteristics,
various services received from
Employment Navigators and/or TAP
partners, employment outcome data,
and PII required to match to NDNH for
employment status and earnings.
RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES:
Data stored in this system include
those captured by Employment
Navigators and/or TAP partner entities
at the time of service. Additional
employment and earnings data will
come from the NDNH.
ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE
SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND
PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:
Each record maintained in the system
will represent one transitioning service
member/recently separated veteran.
Routine uses for Employment
Navigators and Tap partners include
data entry for services received, and
employment outcomes. DOL staff will
utilize the system for outcome analysis,
research and return on investment
calculations.
POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF
RECORDS:
Records will be stored electronically
in a secure environment.
