Department of the Army February 3, 2005 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC), as the Traffic Manager for Department of Defense (DOD) Personal Property Program, is informing the TSP community of SDDC's mandatory requirement to use US Bank's PowerTrack System as the transaction and payment system for all DOD TSP's handling personal property. Furthermore, the use of SDDC's Centralized Web Application (CWA) will also be mandatory. This mandatory usage is effective 30 days from publication of this notice beginning with all TSP's who have a Letter of Intent (LOI) on file with participating sites. Each time a new site is added to Phase I, TSPs not participating in Phase I will have 30 days to execute a Trading Partner Agreement with USBank and be PowerTrack certified. Implementation of PowerTrack at all Military Services and Coast Guard installations is the goal of Families First, which is the first step in moving toward the reengineered Personal Property Program of the future. This announcement is a follow-on to Federal Register notices published on June 5, 2003 (68 FR 33683) and September 29, 2003 (68 FR 55947) proposing mandatory use of US Bank's Power Track System by Department of Defense Personal Property Transportation Service Providers. Effective 30 days from publication of this notice, they are required to have a Trading Partner Agreement with US Bank and be PowerTrack certified in order to participate in the DoD Personal Property Program. This notice affords TSP's ample time to plan for the use of PowerTrack. The Electronic Billing and Payment portion of the Families First Web site is located at https://www.sddc.army.mil, under Personal Property Program. This site offers industry access to updates on the Business Rules, Concept of Operations (CONOPS), System Interface Specifications and the latest information.
