SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
DoD is establishing the Declared Public Health Emergency Exposure
Records, DoD-0013 as a DoD-wide Privacy Act system of records. A DoD-
wide system of records notice (SORN) supports multiple DoD paper or
electronic recordkeeping systems operated by more than one DoD
component that maintain the same kind of information about individuals
for the same purpose. The establishment of DoD-wide SORNs helps DoD
standardize the rules governing the collection, maintenance, use, and
sharing of personal information in key areas across the enterprise.
DoD-wide SORNs also reduce duplicative and overlapping SORNs published
by separate DoD components. The creation of DoD-wide SORNs is expected
to make locating relevant SORNs easier for DoD personnel and the
public, and create efficiencies in the operation of the DoD privacy
program.
DoD prioritizes the safety of its workforce to ensure Department's
missions are able to be accomplished successfully at all times in
defense of the Nation. To do that, DoD must maintain operationally
ready capabilities, including operating within degraded environments
such as during a DPHE. Public health emergencies are varied; they may
be broad or limited in geographical scope and may be declared by
various authorities such as the Secretary of Health and Human Services
or the responsible, designated State, local, tribal, or territorial
official, or cognizant military commander. Responses to public health
emergencies depend on the nature of the emergency, but in some cases
the degraded environment created by the public health emergency may
require the DoD to collect personal information to ensure a safe and
secure workplace for employees and visitors to DoD facilities, and
ultimately, to ensure DoD is able to continue to carry out its mission.
DoD Instruction 6200.03, ``Public Health Emergency Management
within the DoD,'' establishes DoD policy for DPHE. This includes the
authority and responsibilities of DoD commanders and other officials
during a DPHE, and various activities that may be required to address
the emergency. For example, paragraph 3.1.d(1) provides that DoD
[[Page 77082]]
may need to initiate actions to collect and analyze data on the health
hazard causing the DPHE, and paragraph 3.1.d(3) provides that DoD may
need to act to ensure identification, interview, and tracking of all
individuals or groups suspected to have been exposed to the health
hazard to characterize the source and spread of the health hazard. In
carrying out these and other activities, DoD may collect and maintain
information about individuals that is subject to the Privacy Act and
therefore requires a SORN, but is not already covered by other DoD
SORNs. Examples of the types of data in records that may be uniquely
covered by this SORN include contact tracing data, which is the
identification and contact information of individuals suspected or
confirmed to have contracted a disease or illness, or exposed to an
individual suspected or confirmed to have contracted a disease or
illness, related to a DPHE; individual circumstances and dates of
suspected exposure; and health status information. The data may also
include information about individuals exposed to a public health threat
other than a communicable disease such as a radiological exposure or
the release of a toxin or chemical agents, related to a DPHE. This
system of records also supports the sharing of information that may
need to occur during a DPHE, such as sharing of exposure information
about individuals with public health authorities to support public
health goals, such as contact tracing and the reduction of the spread
of a health hazard.
The information covered by this system of records is separate and
unique from other DoD systems of records which contain records
maintained by DoD for accountability and assessment of DoD-affiliated
personnel, or created during the normal course of DoD's delivery of
occupational health and safety services, which DoD provides routinely
to members of the military and DoD civilians, and sometimes to DoD
visitors, concessionaires, and contractors. These records are covered
by other SORNs, and are specifically identified in the notice below for
clarity.
DoD maintains this information to ensure mission success through
the appropriate management and response to the public health emergency,
and to reduce the risk of disease or illness among DoD military and
civilian personnel, contractors, concessionaires, and visitors to DoD
facilities. The collection and use of records covered by this system of
records is only permitted during times of a declared public health
emergency.
Finally, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of
1996 (HIPAA) Rules, as amended by the Omnibus Final Rule, include the
HIPAA Privacy Rule, the HIPAA Breach Rule, the HIPAA Security Rule, and
the HIPAA Enforcement (Parts 160 and 164 of Title 45 CFR), permit a DoD
covered entity to use or disclose protected health information for
public health activities as noted in DoD Manual 6025.18. Under HIPAA,
``public health authority'' means an agency or authority of the United
States, a State, a territory, a political subdivision of a State or
territory, or an Indian tribe, or a person or entity acting under a
grant of authority from or contract with such public agency, including
the employees or agents of such public agency or its contractors or
persons or entities to whom it has granted authority, that is
responsible for public health matters as part of its official mandate.
45 CFR 164.501 (definition of ``public health authority''). The HIPAA
Rules only apply if the entity or individual that is disclosing
protected health information meets the definition of a HIPAA covered
entity or business associate. The records covered under this SORN are
not subject to the HIPAA Rules.
Additionally, the DoD is issuing a direct final rule to exempt this
system of records from certain provisions of the Privacy Act elsewhere
in today's issue of the Federal Register. 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
Under the Privacy Act, a ``system of records'' is a group of
records under the control of an agency from which information is
retrieved by the name of an individual or by some identifying number,
symbol, or other identifying particular assigned to the individual. In
the Privacy Act, an individual is defined as a U.S. citizen or lawful
permanent resident.
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) and Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) Circular No. A-108, DoD has provided a report of this
system of records to the OMB and to Congress.

Note 2: A declared public health emergency may be limited or
broad in geographic scope, and could affect one, many, or all DoD
installations and facilities. This system of records may support
worldwide DoD public health emergency activities in the case of a
pandemic, or local or regional DoD activities in the case of a
geographically limited public health emergency.
CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM:
DoD military Service members (Active Duty, Guard/Reserve, and Coast
Guard personnel when acting as a military service with the Navy),
civilian personnel (including non-appropriated fund employees), DoD
spouses/dependents and cohabitants, military retirees, and DoD
contractors. Also, personnel of partner organizations, visitors,
eligible patrons, or concessionaires accessing or sharing DoD
facilities or attending DoD-sponsored events, and individuals residing
in military housing during a declared public health emergency,
including a pandemic.
CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
A. Personal and Employment Information: name, Employee
Identification Number/DoD ID number, Social Security Number, date of
birth, gender, address, phone number(s), email(s), demographic or

assessment of medical transmission risk status (either for the
individual or because the individual cohabitates with others who may be
considered medically high-risk); medical diagnoses and prognosis
information; dates of medical visits or tests, individual symptoms;
potential or actual exposure to the public health threat (e.g.,
biohazard or communicable disease); medical history related to the
treatment of a virus or communicable disease essential to mitigate the
spread of disease during a public health emergency; immunizations and
vaccination information; medical directives and/or expressions of
interest in receiving a vaccine or other medical treatments, religious
or other objections to medical treatment; correspondence with
individuals or medical/family representatives on medical treatment;
medical, treatment, or disclosure consent forms;, medical or health
emergency notification forms.
C. Contact Tracing Information: proximity tracking information of
individuals after diagnosis or suspected exposure, to include dates
when the individual visited a DoD facility or attended a DoD-sponsored
event, the locations visited within the facility (e.g., floor, room
number), time duration spent in the facility, and identification of
persons in contact with while at the facility; records that indicate an
individual's location and/or proximity to others on DoD property or at

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL SAFEGUARDS:
DoD safeguards records in this system of records according to
applicable rules,
[[Page 77085]]
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
(CAC) authentication and password; 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 disks storing data; 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.
Personal information maintained will be the minimum necessary and
only used for the purposes stated in this notice. Such information will
be retained for the minimum amount of time, remain accessible only to
personnel with a valid operational need, and only be used for the
public health emergency and no other purposes. These records may be
provided in aggregate for accountability and mission readiness
purposes, as long as the information may not be easily re-identified.
RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES:
Individuals seeking access to their records should follow the
procedures in 32 CFR part 310. Individuals should address written
inquiries to the DoD component with oversight of the records, as the
component has Privacy Act responsibilities concerning access,
amendment, and disclosure of the records within this system of records.
The public may identify the contact information for the appropriate DoD
office through the following website: <a href="http://www.FOIA.gov">www.FOIA.gov</a>. Signed written
requests should contain the name and number of this system of records
notice along with the full name, current address, and email address of
the individual. 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:
Individuals seeking to amend or correct the content of records
about them should follow the procedures in 32 CFR part 310.
