Office of the Secretary

Privacy Act of 1974; System of
Records
Office of the Secretary (OSD),
Department of Defense (DoD).
ACTION: Notice of a modified system of
records.
AGENCY:

The OSD is modifying a
system of records, originally titled
‘‘Spouse Education and Career
Opportunities (SECO) Program, DPR
46,’’ to rename it ‘‘Military Spouse
Education and Career Opportunities
(SECO) and Career Advancement
Account Scholarship (MyCAA)
Programs,’’ DPR 46, and make other
changes. This system of records is being
modified to include records of the
Military Spouse Career Advancement
Accounts Scholarship Program. The
SECO and MyCAA Programs make
resources and tools available to help
military spouses with career exploration
and discovery, career education and
training, employment readiness, and
career connections at any point within
the military spouse’s career.
DATES: This system of records is
effective upon publication; however,
comments on the Routine Uses will be
accepted on or before August 9, 2021.
The Routine Uses are effective at the
close of the comment period.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by docket number and title,
by any of the following methods:
* Federal Rulemaking Portal: https://
www.regulations.gov.
Follow the instructions for submitting
comments.
* Mail: DoD cannot receive written
comments at this time due to the
COVID–19 pandemic. Comments should
be sent electronically to the docket

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background
This system of records supports the
SECO and MyCAA Programs, which
make resources and tools available to
help military spouses with career
exploration and discovery, career
education and training, employment
readiness, and career connections at any
point within the military spouse’s
career. The DoD SECO Program, with
the addition of the MyCAA Program,
will assist military spouses in pursuing
licenses, certificates, certifications or
Associate’s degrees (excluding
Associate’s degrees in general studies,
liberal arts, and interdisciplinary
studies that do not have a
concentration) necessary for gainful
employment in high demand, highgrowth portable career fields and
occupations. The system allows the
spouse to build a profile including their
contact information, education, and
employment data. The system allows
the spouse to save information over time
to easily prepopulate it into tools such
as resume builders and career and
education planning resources. Records
in this system may also be used as a
management tool for statistical analysis,
tracking, reporting, evaluating program
effectiveness, conducting research, and
for surveys to inform departmental
decisions on military support and
benefits policy.
Subject to public comment, the DoD
proposes to update this SORN to add
the standard DoD routine uses (routine
uses A through I) and to allow for
additional disclosures outside DoD
related to the purpose of this system of
records. Additionally, the following
sections of the DPR 46 SORN are also
being changed: System name, system
location, authority, purpose, categories
of records, record source categories,
retrieval of records, retention and
disposal of records, safeguards,
contesting records, notification
procedures, and history.

B. MyCAA records are destroyed 10
years after notification of separation,
retirement, or discharge of the spouse’s
sponsor/service member.
ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL
SAFEGUARDS:

Unauthorized access to records is low
due to the system being hosted on a DoD
Risk Management Framework lifecycle
cybersecurity infrastructure. Electronic
records are maintained on a military
installation in a secure building in a
controlled area accessible only to
authorized personnel. Physical entry is
restricted by the use of locks and
passwords and administrative
procedures which are changed
periodically. The system is designed
with access controls, comprehensive
intrusion detection, and virus
protection. Access to personally
identifiable information is role based
and restricted to those requiring the data
in the performance of their official
duties and upon completing annual
information assurance and privacy
training. Records are encrypted during
transmission to protect session
information and at rest. Encrypted
random tokens are implemented to
protect against session hijacking
attempts.
RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES:

Individuals seeking access to their
records should follow the procedures in
32 CFR part 310. Individuals should
address written inquires to the Office of
the Secretary of Defense/Joint Staff
Freedom of Information Act Requester
Service Center, 1155 Defense Pentagon,
Washington, DC 20301–1155. Signed,
written requests should include the
individual’s full name, DoD ID number,
current address, and telephone number
and this system of records notice
number. In addition, the requester must
provide either a notarized signature or
an unsworn declaration made in
accordance with 28 U.S.C. 1746, in the
following format:
If executed outside the United States:

of the United States of America that the
foregoing is true and correct. Executed

that the foregoing is true and correct.
Executed on (date). (Signature).’’

AGENCY:

The U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) invites public comment
on its Request for Information (RFI)
number DE–FOA–0002511 regarding a
proposed definition for areas in which
there is inadequate electric service. This
is a new application requirement added
to DOE’s hydroelectric incentive
program through the Energy Act of
2020. DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency
and Renewable Energy (EERE) Water
Power Technologies Office (WPTO)
seeks input on the proposed definition,
which will apply to DOE’s hydroelectric
incentive program.
DATES: Responses to the RFI must be
received no later than 11:59 p.m. EST
on September 7, 2021.
ADDRESSES: Interested parties are to
submit comments electronically to
[email protected]. Include
definition of ‘‘an area in which there is
inadequate electric service’’ concerning
Section 242 in the subject of the title.
Only electronic responses will be
accepted. The complete RFI is located at

application requirements for the
hydroelectric incentive program
authorized under Section 242 of the
Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Pub. L. 109–
58), 42 U.S.C. 15881. Section 3005 of
the Energy Act of 2020 (Pub. L. 116–
260) amended Section 242 of the Energy
Policy Act of 2005 by expanding the
definition of a qualified hydroelectric
facility to include certain facilities
‘‘constructed in an area in which there
is inadequate electric service.’’ To
define this term, section 3005 requires
the Secretary to take into consideration
(a) access to the electric grid; (b) the
frequency of electric outages; or (c) the
affordability of electricity. EERE is
specifically interested in identifying
potential issues or conflicts that may
arise from applying the proposed
definition during the application review
process. This is solely a request for
information and not a Funding
Opportunity Announcement. EERE is
not accepting applications at this time.

determination about the confidential
status of the information and treat it
according to its determination.

including any personal information
provided in the comments (except
information deemed to be exempt from
public disclosure).
