DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary of Defense

Narrative Statement on an Altered System of Records

Under the Privacy Act of 1974

1. System identifier and name: DHRA 06, entitled “Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database.”

2. Responsible official: Ms. Darlene Sullivan, Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database Program Manager, 4800 Mark Center Drive, Alexandria, VA 22350-8000, telephone (571) 372-7867.

3. Nature of proposed changes for the Office of the Secretary of Defense to the system: The Office of the Secretary of Defense proposes to alter this system of records by changing the following sections: system location, categories of individuals, categories of records, authority for maintenance of the system, purpose(s), routine uses, safeguards, and record source categories.

4. Authority for the maintenance (maintained, collected,

used, or disseminated) of the system: 10 U.S.C. 136, Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness; 10 U.S.C. 3013, Secretary of the Army; 10 U.S.C. 5013, Secretary of the Navy; 10 U.S.C. 8013, Secretary of the Air Force; 32 U.S.C. 102, National Guard; DoD Directive 6495.01, Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Program; DoD Instruction 6495.02, Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Program Procedures; Army Regulation 600-20, Chapter 8, Army Command Policy (Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program); Secretary of the Navy Instruction 1752.4B, Sexual Assault Prevention and Response; Marine Corps Order 1752.5B, Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Program; Air Force Instruction 90-6001, Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Program; and E.O. 9397 (SSN), as amended.

5. Provide the agency’s evaluation on the probable or

potential effects on the privacy of individuals: In updating this SORN, the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office reviewed the safeguards established for the system of records to ensure they are compliant with the DoD requirements and are appropriate to the sensitivity of the information stored within the system. Any specific routine uses have been reviewed to ensure the minimum amount of personally identifiable information has been established.

6. Is the system, in whole or in part, being maintained,

(maintained, collected, used, or disseminated) by a contractor? Yes.

7. Steps taken to minimize risk of unauthorized access: Records are maintained in a controlled facility. Physical entry is restricted by the use of guards, identification badges, key cards, and locks. Access to case files in the system is role-based and requires the use of a Common Access Card (CAC) and password. Access rights and permission lists for Sexual Assault Response Coordinators (SARCs) and authorized Military Service legal officers are granted by Military Service Sexual Assault Prevention and Response program managers through the assignment of appropriate user roles. Periodic security audits are also conducted. Technical safeguards include firewalls, passwords, encryption of data, and use of a virtual private network. Access is further restricted to authorized users on the Nonsecure Internet Protocol Router Network and with a CAC. In addition, the local drive resides behind a firewall and the direct database cannot be accessed from the outside.

8. Routine use compatibility: In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 552a(b) of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, the records contained herein may be disclosed outside the DoD as a routine use pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) as follows:

To permit the disclosure of records of closed cases of unrestricted reports to the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) for purpose of providing medical care to former Service members and retirees, to determine the eligibility for or entitlement to benefits, and to facilitate collaborative research activities between the DoD and DVA.

Law Enforcement Routine Use: If a system of records maintained by a DoD Component to carry out its functions indicates a violation or potential violation of law, whether civil, criminal, or regulatory in nature, and whether arising by general statute or by regulation, rule, or order issued pursuant thereto, the relevant records in the system of records may be referred, as a routine use, to the agency concerned, whether federal, state, local, or foreign, charged with the responsibility of investigating or prosecuting such violation or charged with enforcing or implementing the statute, rule, regulation, or order issued pursuant thereto.

Disclosure When Requesting Information Routine Use: A record from a system of records maintained by a DoD Component may be disclosed as a routine use to a federal, state, or local agency maintaining civil, criminal, or other relevant enforcement information or other pertinent information, such as current licenses, if necessary to obtain information relevant to a DoD Component decision concerning the hiring or retention of

an employee, the issuance of a security clearance, the letting of a contract, or the issuance of a license, grant, or other benefit.

Disclosure of Requested Information Routine Use: A record from a system of records maintained by a DoD Component may be disclosed to a federal agency, in response to its request, in connection with the hiring or retention of an employee, the issuance of a security clearance, the reporting of an investigation of an employee, the letting of a contract, or the issuance of a license, grant, or other benefit by the requesting agency, to the extent that the information is relevant and necessary to the requesting agency's decision on the matter.
