[DSWA Instruction 5400.11B]
Defense Special Weapons Agency Privacy Program
AGENCY: Defense Special Weapons Agency, DOD.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Defense Special Weapons Agency (DSWA) is proposing to add
two sections to its procedural rule for the DSWA Privacy Program. The
two sections are entitled Disclosure of record to persons other than
the individual to whom it pertains and Fees. The addition of these two
sections helps an individual to better understand the DSWA Privacy
Program.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before December 2, 1997.
ADDRESSES: Send comments regarding this proposed rule to the General
Counsel, Defense Special Weapons Agency, 6801 Telegraph Road,
Alexandria, VA 22310-3398.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mrs. Sandy Barker at (703) 325-7681.
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 (1993).
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 the 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 of 1974.
The Defense Special Weapons Agency (DSWA) is proposing to add two
sections to its procedural rule for the DSWA Privacy Program. The two
sections are entitled Disclosure of record to persons other than the
individual to whom it pertains and Fees. The addition of these two
sections helps an individual to better understand the DSWA Privacy
Program.
