Consistent with the Defense Health Agency's creation on October 1, 2013, the existing system of records, DHA 20 DoD, entitled ``Department of Defense Suicide Event Report (DoDSER) System,'' is being realigned to the Defense Health Agency's compilation of Privacy Act System of Records Notices (SORNs). The realignment of this system requires a change in its system identifier to reflect the numbering system used by the Defense Health Agency. The Defense Health Agency also proposes to alter this system of records. This system establishes, collects, and maintains integrated DoD enterprise and survey data to be used for direct reporting of Reportable Events involving individuals on active duty or serving in the Reserves, supporting ongoing population-based health surveillance activities and public health within DoD, and for analysis. Surveillance activities include the systematic collection, analysis, interpretation, and reporting of outcome-specific data for use in planning and development of best practices, education, public health within DoD, and training on protocols for identifying, responding to, and managing individuals at increased risk of suicide; and implementation, evaluation, and prevention of suicide behaviors and Reportable Events within the DoD.

Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: Defense Health Agency, DoD.

ACTION: Notice to alter a System of Records.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Consistent with the Defense Health Agency's creation on 
October 1, 2013, the existing system of records, DHA 20 DoD, entitled 
``Department of Defense Suicide Event Report (DoDSER) System,'' is 
being realigned to the Defense Health Agency's compilation of Privacy 
Act System of Records Notices (SORNs). The realignment of this system 
requires a change in its system identifier to reflect the numbering 
system used by the Defense Health Agency.
    The Defense Health Agency also proposes to alter this system of 
records. This system establishes, collects, and maintains integrated 
DoD enterprise and survey data to be used for direct reporting of 
Reportable Events involving individuals on active duty or serving in 
the Reserves, supporting ongoing population-based health surveillance 
activities and public health within DoD, and for analysis. Surveillance 
activities include the systematic collection, analysis, interpretation, 
and reporting of outcome-specific data for use in planning and 
development of best practices, education, public health within DoD, and 
training on protocols for identifying, responding to, and managing 
individuals at increased risk of suicide; and implementation, 
evaluation, and prevention of suicide behaviors and Reportable Events 
within the DoD.

DATES: Comments will be accepted on or before May 16, 2016. This 
proposed action will be effective the date following the end of the 
comment period unless comments are received which result in a contrary 
determination.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by docket number and 
title, by any of the following methods:
    * Federal Rulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the 
instructions for submitting comments.
    * Mail: ODCMO, Directorate for Oversight and Compliance, 4800 Mark 
Center Drive, Attn: Mailbox 24, Alexandria, VA 22350-1700.
    Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name 
and docket number for this Federal Register document. The general 
policy for comments and other submissions from members of the public is 
to make these submissions available for public viewing on the Internet 
at http://www.regulations.gov as they are received without change, 
including any personal identifiers or contact information.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Linda S. Thomas, Chief, Defense 
Health Agency Privacy and Civil Liberties Office, 7700 Arlington 
Boulevard, Suite 5101, Falls Church, VA 22042-5101, or by phone at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Defense Health Agency notices for 
systems of records subject to the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), 
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 and Civil Liberties Division Web site at http://dpcld.defense.gov/. The proposed system report, as required by 5 U.S.C. 
552a(r) of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, was submitted on April 
1, 2016, to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, the 
Senate Committee on 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

are designated as public health authorities within DoD to support DoD 
suicide prevention and resilience programs, provide DoD-wide 
comprehensive strategic approaches for suicide prevention, postvention, 
and surveillance; assist the Military Services to reduce the impact of 
suicidal self-directed violence on the readiness of the Military 
Services; fuse, analyze, and assess DoD-wide surveillance and research 
activities related to suicidal self-direct violence and other high risk
