Abstract

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the DoD is modifying and reissuing a current system of records titled, "Defense Case Activity Tracking System (D-CATS)," CIG-16. The system of records is being retitled, "Inspector General Administrative Investigation Records (IGAIR)." This system of records was originally established by the DoD Office of Inspector General (OIG) to collect and maintain records on individuals who file DoD Hotline complaints and individuals suspected of misconduct and investigated pursuant to the Inspector General Act of 1978, as amended. This system of records notice (SORN) is being updated to incorporate the DoD standard routine uses and support additional information sharing of records outside of the DoD in furtherance of external oversight, case management, and required reporting. This modification revises the system name, system location, system manager, authority for maintenance, purpose, categories of individuals, categories of records, record source categories, routine uses, policies, and practices for retention and disposal of records, policies and practices for retrieval of information, information safeguards, record access procedures, contesting records, and notification procedures and the exemptions promulgated. Additionally, the DoD will issue a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposing to exempt this system of records from certain provisions of the Privacy Act in a future issue of the Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The DoD OIG maintains this system of records in order to carry out 
its responsibilities pursuant to the Inspector General Act of 1978, as 
amended. The DoD OIG is statutorily authorized to conduct as well as 
engage in oversight of investigations relating to the programs and 
operations of the DoD; to promote economy, efficiency, and 
effectiveness in the administration of such programs and operations; 
and to prevent and detect fraud, waste, and abuse in such programs and 
operations. Specifically, the CIG-16 IGAIR system of records 
(hereafter, IGAIR) contains records of DoD OIG mission activities such 
as the identification, referral, and investigation of DoD Hotline 
complaints. The DoD Hotline provides a confidential avenue for 
individuals to report allegations of wrongdoing pertaining to programs, 
personnel, and operations that fall under the purview of the DoD, 
pursuant to the Inspector General Act.
    IGAIR also contains records of administrative investigations of 
both military and civilian senior officials accused of misconduct. In 
addition, it contains records related to the oversight and 
investigation of whistleblower reprisal cases against Service members, 
DoD contractor employees, and DoD civilian employees (appropriated and 
non-appropriated fund). These records also include the improper command 
referrals of Service member mental health evaluations. IGAIR is 
critical to the DoD OIG's management and oversight of DoD programs and 
activities and is used for case management, information storage, to 
respond to requests for information, and to fulfill mandatory reporting 
requirements.
    Subject to public comment, the DoD is updating the Routine Uses 
section of this SORN by removing the incorporation by reference of the 
DoD blanket routine uses, adding the standard DoD routine uses (A 
through J), revising routine uses (K through M), and adding new routine 
uses (N through Z) allowing for additional disclosures outside the DoD. 
In addition to modifications made to the routine uses section, other 
modifications are as follows: (1) Revise the system name in the System 
Name and Number section; (2) update office and address in the System 
Location section; (3) add updated information in the System Manager 
section; (4) add citations in the Authority for Maintenance of the 
System section; (5) add information regarding the purpose of the system 
in the Purpose section; (6) broaden types of information in the 
Categories of Individuals, Categories of Records, and Record Source 
Categories sections; (7) provide records retrieval, retention, and 
disposition guidance in the Policies and Practices for Retrieval of 
Records and the Policies and Practices for Retention and Disposal of 
Records sections; (8) update the security requirements in the 
Administrative, Technical, and Physical Safeguards section; (9) update 
guidance, citation, and information needed to submit request in the 
Record Access Procedures, Contesting Record Procedures, and 
Notification Procedures sections and (10) update to the Exemptions 
Promulgated for the System section to claim exemptions from certain 
provisions of the Privacy Act for classified information in this system 
of records. Furthermore, this notice includes non-substantive changes 
to simplify the formatting and text of the previously published notice.
    The DoD will issue a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposing to 
exempt this system of records from certain provisions of the Privacy 
Act in a future issue of the Federal Register. This rulemaking will 
seek public comment on the recently added exemption under 5 U.S.C. 
552a(k)(1) as well as a previously claimed exemption under 5 U.S.C. 
552a(j)(2) for which a rulemaking was not completed.
    DoD SORNs 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 Freedom of Information 
Directorate website at <a href="https://dpcld.defense.gov">https://dpcld.defense.gov</a>.

II. Privacy Act

operations that fall under the purview of the DoD, pursuant to the 
Inspector General Act, as well as other complaints or allegations 
received which may be outside of the DoD OIG's jurisdiction.
    B. To support the conduct of OIG-led administrative investigations 
and oversee DoD Component-led administrative investigations pertaining 
to programs, personnel, and operations that fall under the purview of 
the DoD, to include misconduct allegations against military and 
civilian senior officials, investigations into alleged whistleblower 
reprisal against Service members, DoD contract employees, and DoD

statistical information, the provision of data for analysis and 
decision-making, and the response to requests for information, related 
to the activities described above.
    D. To identify and address conduct that may warrant criminal or 
disciplinary action, to uphold and enforce the law, and to ensure 
public safety.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF RECORDS:
    Records may be stored electronically or on paper in secure 
facilities in a locked drawer and/or behind a locked door. The records 
may be stored on magnetic disc, tape, or digital media.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF RECORDS:
    Records are retrieved as follows:
    For complaints and allegations made by an individual and received 
by the DoD OIG through the DoD Hotline: By the name of the complainant 
or the number assigned to the complaint or allegation.
    For OIG-led administrative investigations and DoD Component-led

operations that fall under the purview of the DoD: By the name of the 
subject or the investigative case number.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND DISPOSAL OF RECORDS:
    Records are retained and disposed of in accordance with applicable 
disposition schedules. Any unscheduled records are retained 
indefinitely until they have been scheduled with National Archives and 
Records Administration and have become eligible for disposition under 
those schedules.

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL SAFEGUARDS:
    The DoD OIG safeguards records in this system of records according 
to applicable rules, policies, and procedures, including all applicable 
DoD automated systems security and access policies. DoD policies 
require the use of controls to minimize the risk of compromise of 
personally identifiable information (PII) in paper and electronic form 
and to enforce access by those with a need to know and with appropriate 
clearances. Additionally, DoD has established security audit and 
accountability policies and procedures which support the safeguarding 
of PII and detection of potential PII incidents.
    DoD routinely employs safeguards, such as the following, to 
information systems and paper recordkeeping systems: Multifactor log-in 
authentication including common access card authentication and 
password; system firewalls, physical token as required; physical and 
technological access controls governing access to data; network 
encryption to protect data transmitted over the network; disk 
encryption securing data at rest; key management services to safeguard 
encryption keys; masking of sensitive data as practicable; mandatory 
information assurance and privacy training for individuals who will 
have access; identification, marking, and safeguarding of PII; physical 
access safeguards including multifactor identification physical access 
controls, detection and electronic alert systems for access to servers 
and other network infrastructure; and electronic intrusion detection 
systems in DoD facilities.

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES:
    Individuals seeking access to their records should address written 
inquiries to the DoD OIG Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), Privacy and 
Civil Liberties Office, ATTN: Privacy Officer, 4800 Mark Center Drive, 
Alexandria, VA 22350-1500. Signed written requests should contain the 
name and number of this system of records notice along with the full 
name, mailing address and email address of the requester, along with 
any details which may assist in locating requested records, such as the 
case number and date of the event. In addition, the requester must 
provide either a notarized statement or an unsworn declaration made in 
accordance with 28 U.S.C. 1746, in the appropriate format:
    If executed outside the United States: ``I declare (or certify, 
verify, or state) under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United 
States of America that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on 
(date). (Signature).''
    If executed within the United States, its territories, possessions, 
or commonwealths: ``I declare (or certify, verify, or state) under 
penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on 
(date). (Signature).''

CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES:
    The DoD rules for accessing records, contesting contents, and 
appealing initial Component determinations are contained in 32 CFR part 
310, or may be obtained from the system manager.

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES:
    Individuals seeking to determine whether information about 
themselves is contained in this system of records should follow the 
instructions for Record Access Procedures above.

EXEMPTIONS PROMULGATED FOR THE SYSTEM:
    DoD has exempted records maintained in this system from 5 U.S.C. 
552a(c)(3) and (4), (d); (e)(1), (e)(2), (e)(3), (e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(H), 
(e)(4)(I), (e)(5), (e)(8); (f); and (g) of the Privacy Act, pursuant to 
5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2). Additionally, DoD has exempted records maintained 
in this system from 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3); (d); (e)(1), (e)(4)(G), 
(e)(4)(H), (e)(4)(I); and (f) of the Privacy Act pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
