The Department of Defense must publish in the Federal Register a notice of the existence and character of all systems of records being maintained on individuals who are citizens of the United States or aliens lawfully admitted for permanent residence. The notice also includes when the notice was last published in the Federal Register.

    To help you identify a particular system of records, first scan the pertinent DoD Component's listing of Privacy Act systems of records notices. The `system name' reasonably identifies the general purpose of the system of records, and where practical, the category of individuals covered.

    You may search one or more of the DoD Component's listings. Be as specific as possible when you identify the types of records you are trying to locate, i.e., investigative, personnel, radiation exposure, pay, carpooling, etc. If you are having difficulty identifying or locating a system of records, contact the DoD Component Privacy Point of Contact. This Privacy Official can help you navigate through their Component's Privacy Act systems of records notices.

    In addition, certain 'Blanket Routine Uses' for all DoD maintained systems of records have been established that are applicable to every record system maintained within the Department of Defense, unless specifically stated otherwise within the particular record system notice. These additional routine uses of the records are published only once in each DoD Component's Preamble in the interest of simplicity, economy and to avoid redundancy.
