The Department of Defense
(Department or DoD) is issuing a final
rule to amend its regulations to exempt
portions of the system of records titled
DoD–0008, ‘‘Freedom of Information
Act and Privacy Act Records,’’ from
certain provisions of the Privacy Act of
1974.
DATES: This rule is effective September
22, 2022.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Rahwa Keleta, Privacy and Civil
Liberties Division, Directorate for
Privacy, Civil Liberties and Freedom of
Information, Office of the Assistant to
the Secretary of Defense for Privacy,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
SUMMARY:
§ 285.12
Office of the Secretary of
Defense (OSD), Department of Defense
(DoD).
ACTION: Final rule.
Discussion of Comments and Changes
The proposed rule published in the
Federal Register (86 FR 72536–72540)
on December 22, 2021. Comments were
accepted for 60 days until February 22,
2022. A total of two comments regarding
the proposed rule were received. Please
see a summary of the comments and the
Department’s response below:
DoD received one substantive
comment and one non-substantive
comment on the NPRM. The substantive
comment expressed a concern that the
application of exemptions to this system
of records would globally shield all
FOIA case processing records from
disclosure. This rulemaking would not
globally or improperly shield a
requester’s ability to seek access to the
case processing of records of a FOIA or
Privacy Act case. The Privacy Act (5
U.S.C. 552a) generally provides that any
person has a right (enforceable in court)
of access to federal agency records about
themselves, except to the extent that the
information is protected from disclosure
by one of ten exemptions. To the extent
that the case processing records are
‘‘records’’ as defined in the Privacy Act
PO 00000
Frm 00029
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
51611
to which an individual has a Privacy
Act right of access, this rule will deny
the individual access to those records
only to the extent a claimed exemption
applies. In addition, records in the
DoD–0008 Freedom of Information Act
and Privacy Act Records system of
records are only exempt from the
Privacy Act to the extent the purposes
underlying the exemption pertain to the
record. Applying Privacy Act
exemptions allows agencies to withhold
records from access for particular
reasons as articulated by the exemption
rule. Having considered the public
comment, the Department will
implement the rulemaking as proposed.
I. Background
In finalizing this rule, DoD is seeking
to exempt portions of this system of
records titled, DoD–0008 Freedom of
Information Act and Privacy Act
Records, from certain provisions of the
Privacy Act. This system of records
covers DoD’s maintenance of records
about individuals who submit access
requests and administrative appeals
under the Freedom of Information Act,
and who submit access and amendment
requests and administrative appeals
under the Privacy Act. This system of
records data includes information
regarding the individual requesters and
their attorneys or representatives, the
original request for access and any
administrative appeal, and other
supporting documentation to include
related memoranda, correspondence,
notes, and, in some instances, copies of
requested records and records under
administrative appeal.
II. Privacy Exemption
The Privacy Act permits Federal
agencies to exempt eligible records in a
system of records from certain
provisions of the Act, including the
provisions providing individuals with a
right to request access to and
amendment of their own records and
accountings of disclosures of such
records. If an agency intends to exempt
a particular system of records, it must
first go through the rulemaking process
to provide public notice and an
opportunity to comment on the
proposed exemption. The OSD is
amending 32 CFR part 310 to add a new
Privacy Act exemption rule for this
system of records. The DoD is adding an
exemption for this system of records
because some of its records may contain
investigatory material compiled for law
enforcement purposes, classified
national security information, protective
services information pursuant to 18
U.S.C. 3056, and testing or examination
information pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
