Department of Defense April 11, 2019 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Department of Defense (DoD) is revising its Privacy regulation to implement the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. The rule conforms to the requirements of the Office of Management and Budget Circular A-108, December 23, 2016. This part establishes and promotes uniformity in the DoD Privacy Program, creating a single privacy rule for the Department, while incorporating other administrative changes. It takes precedence over all DoD component publications that supplement and implement the DoD Privacy program. Subsequently, DoD plans to remove individual component Privacy Program rulemakings, given that the individual component exemption rules have been incorporated into this rule.
