Office of the Secretary
Docket ID:
Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records
AGENCY: Defense Acquisition University, DoD.
ACTION: Notice of a Modified System of Records.
SUMMARY: The Office of the Secretary of Defense proposes to modify a system of records entitled “Defense Acquisition University Student Files, “DSMC 02”. DSMC 02 is consolidating its current system of records DAU 07, “Acquisition Community Connection (ACC)”, DAU 08, “Student Information System (SIS)” and DSMC 02 in to one system of records DAU 02, “Data Services Management (DSM)” and SORN ID. This is being done to reduce the number of individual SORNs, bring the SORN up to date with the new learning management system and cancel SORNs that are associated with legacy systems that are no longer being used.
DATES: Comments will be accepted on or before 27 Apr 2020. This proposed action will be effective the date following the end of the comment period unless comments are received which result in a contrary determination.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by docket number and title, by any of the following methods:
* Federal Rulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov.
Follow the instructions for submitting comments.
* Mail: Department of Defense, Office of the Deputy Chief Management Officer, Directorate of Oversight and Compliance, 4800 Mark Center Drive, Mailbox #24, Suite 08D09, Alexandria, VA 22350-1700.
Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name and docket number for this Federal Register document. The general policy for comments and other submissions from members of the public is to make these submissions available for public viewing on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov as they are received without change, including any personal identifiers or contact information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DAU is responsible for providing a global learning environment to develop qualified acquisition, requirements and contingency professionals who deliver and sustain effective and affordable warfighting capabilities per Congressional Mandate (NDAA FY2007, Section 801). By not consolidating and updating DAU 02 DSM, DAU cannot collect essential information on our student population that is used to ensure workforce training and certification. DAU will also be unable to provide the necessary information to the Services and 4th Estate Director, Acquisition Career Management (DACM) offices.
The Office of the Secretary of Defense 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 at the Defense Privacy, Civil Liberties, and Transparency Division website at http://dpcld.defense.gov/privacy.
