AGENCY: Office of the Secretary of Defense, Department of Defense (DoD)
ACTION: Notice of a modified system of records.
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Office of the Secretary of Defense is modifying and reissuing a current system of records titled, “Defense Biometric Identification Data System (DBIDS), DMDC 10 DoD.” This system of records was originally established to support DoD physical security programs, to issue individual facility/installation access credentials, and for identity verification purposes. The records may be accessed by other physical access control systems for further verification at other sites. The system also is used to record personal vehicles and property registered with the DoD and for producing facility management reports. The records may be accessed by other physical access control systems for further verification at other sites. Records may also be used for law enforcement purposes. This system of records is being updated to incorporate the DoD standard routine uses (routine uses A through J). The DoD is also modifying various other sections within the SORN to improve clarity or update information that has changed.
DATES: This system of records is effective upon publication; however, comments on the Routine Uses will be accepted on or before [INSERT 30 DAYS AFTER DATE OF PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER]. The Routine Uses are effective at the close of the comment period.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background The Office of the Secretary of Defense proposes to modify a system of records subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a.
