Financial Systems Modernization (J-88), Headquarters, Defense Logistics Agency, 8725 John J. Kingman Road, Stop 6238, Fort Belvoir, VA 22060-6221.
Lockheed Martin Enterprise Information Systems, 1401 Del Norte Street, Denver, CO 80221-6910.
Categories of individuals covered by the system:
Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) civilian employees and civilian employees of other DoD Components who receive accounting support from DLA under an administrative support agreement.
Categories of records in the system:
Individual's name, Social Security Number, activity code, home address, Country Code, Electronic Fund Transfer waiver, Financial Institution, Bank Routing Number, Bank Account Number, Account Type, gross pay data (date paid, disbursing officer voucher number, disbursing station symbol number, pay period ending date, pay system code, work schedule, temporary position code, gross reconciliation code, job order number, hours extended, hours paid, and earnings/employer contributions amount), and reconciliation or error data (if applicable).
Authority for maintenance of the system:
10 U.S.C. 136, Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness; 31 U.S.C. 3512, Executive agency accounting and other financial management reports and plans, as amended by Pub. L. 104-208, Federal Financial Management Improvement Act of 1996; and E.O. 9397 (SSN).
Purpose(s):
Records are used to initiate reimbursements to enable the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) to distribute payments to DLA employees for certain miscellaneous out-of-pocket expenses (training, tuition, Permanent Change of Station, etc). Records are also used to identify employee-related costs associated with reimbursable orders received by DLA and to enable accurate billing of those reimbursable orders.
Records are used to create a general ledger file containing the accounts necessary to reflect DLA operational costs. Operations costs consist of operating accounts, liability accounts, budgetary accounts, and statistical accounts, maintained for the purposes of establishing, in summary form, the status of the DLA accounts and to provide an audit trail to verify accuracy of reports.
Records are used by financial management offices to validate and accurately record employee-labor operational expenses.
Records are used to determine DLA civilian payroll budgetary requirements.
Records are used by internal DLA/DoD auditors to conduct audits or investigations into the DLA accounting process.
Records are used by the DoD Components who receive accounting support from DLA under an administrative support agreement for accounting purposes.
Records devoid of personal identifiers are used for extraction or compilation of data and reports for management studies and statistical analyses for use internally or externally as required by DoD or other government agencies.
Statistical data, with all personal identifiers removed, may be used by management for program evaluation, review, or oversight purposes.
Routine uses of records maintained in the system, including categories of users and the purposes of such uses:
In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 552a(b) of the Privacy Act, these records or information contained therein may specifically be disclosed outside the DoD as a routine use pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) as follows:
To the Office of Management and Budget for the purposes of conducting reviews, audits, or inspections of agency practices.
The DoD 'Blanket Routine Uses' set forth at the beginning of DLA's compilation of systems of records notices apply to this system.
Policies and practices for storing, retrieving, assessing, retaining, and disposing of records in the system.
Storage:
Records are maintained on both paper and electronic media.
Retrievability:
Records are retrieved by individual's name and Social Security Number.
Safeguards:

Access to personal information is restricted by access profiles to those who require the records in the performance of their official duties. Access to personal information is further restricted by the use of passwords that are changed periodically.
Retention and disposal:
General ledger postings are cutoff at the end of the fiscal year and are maintained for 6 years and 3 months, and then destroyed.
Reconciliation or error records are destroyed when no longer needed (not to exceed 2 years).
Ready to pay file disposition is pending. Until the National Archives and Records Administration has approved the retention and disposal of ready to pay files, treated them as permanent.
