The Office of the Secretary of Defense proposes to alter a system of records, WUSU 07, entitled ``USUHS Grievance Records'', in its inventory of record systems subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. This system will be used to track, analyze and mitigate informal grievances filed by Uniformed Services University employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Utilizing this information allows Uniformed Services University civilian personnel employer relations officers to track grievances, to analyze findings from an investigation, and to research the success and/or failure of mitigation efforts. The information is collected and used by Civilian Personnel Employee Relations Officers.

The Defense Finance and Accounting Service proposes to alter a system of records in its inventory of record systems subject to the Privacy Act of 1974 as amended.

This system will create pay information files from DCPS. The pay information files will contain civilian payroll costs and manpower data; this data will then be provided to the U.S. Air Force accounting activities for processing. The system contains information on other than U.S. Air Force civilian employees; however, the CPAIS system will not use the non-Air Force data other than to transmit it directly to the General Accounting and Finance System (GAFS).
