    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    The DFMCP implements DoD Instruction (DoDI) 1300.26, Operation of the DoD Financial Management Certification Program (DFMCP) and meets the business requirement to comply with 10 U.S.C. 1599d, Financial Management Positions: Authority to Prescribe Professional Certification and Credential Standards, as a condition of employment, authorizing the Secretary of Defense to establish a certification program for the 57,000 Financial Management (FM) workforce in order to improve audit readiness and analytic capability. The DFMCP is the approved strategy to meet this requirement and supports the DoDI 1400.25, Volume 250, DoD Civilian Personnel Management System: Civilian Strategic Human Capital Planning (SHCP).

    FM Online, originally launched in 2011, is an online professional development portal for the DoD FM Workforce. The future state will enhance FM Online by adding a DoD FM Certification Tracking and Reporting module, thus creating a requirement to house Personally Identifiable Information (PII).

    FM Online is sponsored by the OUSD(C). FM Online will support the DoD in administering a variety of professional development programs and tools to support the DoD Financial Management workforce. It will enable the OUSD(C) to identify skill and competency gaps and strengths and provide training and development tools to prepare the workforce to meet current and future requirements to support the mission. FM Online will support the mandatory three level professional certification program applicable to 57,000 members of the FM Workforce. Members must achieve the appropriate certification level for their positions within two years of notification of applicable certification requirements (or the period of any extension). Also, members must sustain their FM certification by the end of each two-year cycle by accomplishing Continuing Education and Training (CET) requirements.

    The OSD notices for Systems of Records subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, have been published in the Federal Register and are available from the address in FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT or on the Defense Privacy, Civil Liberties, and Transparency Division website at https://dpcld.defense.gov.

    The proposed system reports, as required by the Privacy Act, as amended, were submitted on April 13, 2020, to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs, and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) pursuant to Section 6 of OMB Circular No. A-108, “Federal Agency Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, and Publication under the Privacy Act,” revised December 23, 2016 (December 23, 2016, 81 FR 94424).
