Office of the Secretary

[Docket ID: DoD-2020-OS-0031]

Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY:

Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller), Department of Defense (DoD).

ACTION:

Notice of a new System of Records.

SUMMARY:

The Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) proposes to add a System of Records titled, "Defense Repository for Common Enterprise Data (DRCED)," DUSDC 01. This system will automate financial and business transactions, perform cost-management analysis, produce oversight and audit reports, and provide critical data linking to improve performance of mission objectives. Congress mandated the creation of this system through the National Defense Authorization Act of 2018 and then codified it by statute as "Defense Business Systems: Business Process Reengineering; Enterprise Architecture; Management." The DRCED's purpose is to improve the Department's defense business enterprise by synchronizing and normalizing data for affordability, performance, and mission readiness. To achieve this, the DRCED will optimize technology to provide an enterprise solution for integrating and analyzing targeted data from existing Department systems to develop timely, actionable, and insightful conclusions in support of national strategies. Also, DRCED is capable of creating predictive analytic models based upon specific data streams to equip decision makers with critical data necessary for execution of fiscal and operational requirements.

DATES:

This new System of Records is effective upon publication; however, comments on the Routine Uses will be accepted on or before April 16, 2020. The Routine Uses are effective at the close of the comment period.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

DRCED is a single authoritative repository for DoD Common Enterprise Data (CED) to provide decision-makers greater insight into financial auditability, business processes, and operational combat/mission readiness. CED is defined as automatically accessible data from business operations or management records provided in a usable format to authorized DoD personnel or DoD components. DRCED will extract records from relevant Department systems, synchronize and normalize CED from those systems to facilitate and streamline enterprise-wide analysis and management of business processes. DRCED capabilities include: robust auditing to recognize fraudulent budget, programming, and fiscal transactions; linking of data from multiple systems (such as personnel, financial, and medical systems) to specific operations and missions for visibility and traceability of expenditures and resource allocation; producing reports for individual transaction processing for each stage of the budgetary life cycle; assessment tools for decision-makers charged with overseeing costs for specific missions or functions ( e.g., equipment, training, personnel); and applying predictive analysis to identify common operational factors for readiness and unit deploy ability.

The DoD notices for Systems of Records subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 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 Transparency Division website at https://dpcld.defense.gov.

The proposed systems reports, as required by of the Privacy Act, as amended, were submitted on January 24, 2020, to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) pursuant to Section 6 to OMB Circular No. A-108, "Federal Agency Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, and Publication under the Privacy Act," revised December 23, 2016 (December 23, 2016, 81 FR 94424).
