        The ``Blanket Routine Uses'' published at the beginning of DLA's 
    compilation of systems of records notices apply to this system.
    Policies and practices for storing, retrieving, accessing, retaining, 
    and disposing of records in the system:
    Storage:
        Records are maintained on magnetic tapes and disks are housed in a 
    controlled computer media library.
    Retrievability:
        Records about individuals are retrieved by an algorithm determined 
    by contractor which uses name, enrollment number, Social Security 
    Number, date of birth, rank and duty location as possible inputs. 
    Retrievals are made on a summary basis by geographic characteristics 
    and location and demographic characteristics. Information about 
    individuals will not be distinguishable in such summary retrievals. 
    Retrievals for the purposes of generating address lists for direct mail 
    distribution of health care information may be made using selection 
    criteria based on geographic and demographic keys.
    Safeguards:
        Computerized records are maintained in a controlled area accessible 
    only to authorized personnel. Entry to these areas is restricted to 
    those personnel with a valid requirement and authorization to enter. 
    Physical entry is restricted by the use of locks, guards, 
    administrative procedures (e.g., fire protection regulations). Exits 
    used solely for emergency situations is secured to prevent unauthorized 
    intrusion.
        Personal data stored at a separate location for backup purposes is 
    protected at least comparably to the protection provided at the primary 
    location.
        Requirements for protection of information are binding on 
    contractors or their representative and are subject to the following 
    minimum standards:
        Access to personal information is restricted to those who require 
    the records in the performance of their official duties, and to the 
    individuals who are the subjects of the record or their authorized 
    representatives. Access to personal information is further restricted 
    by the use of passwords which are changed periodically.
