The Office of the Secretary of Defense

current Privacy Act system of records.
The BRU will permit the disclosure of
information, as necessary, in connection

of information that identifies an
individual for purposes of taking such
remedial actions as considered
appropriate to prevent or minimize
potential harms that may result to an
individual as a consequence of the
breach.
The proposed systems reports, as
required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) of the
Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, were
submitted on May 2, 2007, to the House
Committee on Oversight and
Government Reform, the Senate
Committee on Homeland Security and
Governmental Affairs, and the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
pursuant to paragraph 4c of Appendix I
to OMB Circular No. A–130, ‘‘Federal
Agency Responsibilities for Maintaining
Records About Individuals,’’ dated
February 8, 1996 (February 20, 1996, 61

this information be processed and used
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate
