DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Office of the Secretary
32 CFR Part 311
Privacy Program
AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DOD.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Office of the Secretary of Defense proposes to exempt a
system of records identified as DUSP 11, entitled POW/Missing Personnel
Office Files. The exemption is needed to protect information properly
classified under E.O. 12958, Classified National Security Information.
DATES: Comments must be received no later than September 30, 1997, to
be considered by the agency.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to the OSD Privacy Act Officer, Washington
Headquarter Services, Correspondence and Directives Division, Records
Management Division, 1155 Defense Pentagon, Washington, DC 20301-1155.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. David Bosworth at (703) 695-0970.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Executive Order 12866. It has been
determined that this Privacy Act proposed rule for the Department of
Defense does not constitute `significant regulatory action'. Analysis
of the rule indicates that it does not have an annual effect on the
economy of $100 million or more; does not create a serious
inconsistency or otherwise interfere with an action taken or planned by
another agency; does not materially alter the budgetary impact of
entitlements, grants, user fees, or loan programs or the rights and
obligations of recipients thereof; does not raise novel legal or policy
issues arising out of legal mandates, the President's priorities, or
the principles set forth in Executive Order 12866.
Regulatory Flexibility Act. It has been determined that this Privacy
Act proposed rule for the Department of Defense does not have
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
because it is concerned only with the administration of Privacy Act
systems of records within the Department of Defense.
Paperwork Reduction Act. It has been determined that this Privacy Act
proposed rule for the Department of Defense imposes no information
requirements beyond the Department of Defense and that the information
collected within the Department of Defense is necessary and consistent
with 5 U.S.C. 552a, known as the Privacy Act, and 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35.
List of Subjects in 32 CFR part 311

(11) System identifier and name: DUSP 11, POW/Missing Personnel
Office Files.

implemented by DoD 5200.1-R, may be exempt pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
552a(k)(1).
[[Page 41324]]
(ii) Authority: 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(1).
(iii) Reasons: From subsection 5 U.S.C. 552a(d) because granting
access to information that is properly classified pursuant to E.O.
12958, as implemented by DoD 5200.1-R, may cause damage to the national
security.
