Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

The Office of the Secretary of Defense proposes to add a new system of records, DMDC 19 DoD, entitled ``Secure Web Fingerprint Transmission (SWFT)'' to its inventory of record systems subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. This system will provide a means for all DoD individuals required to submit electronic fingerprints and demographic information to the Office of Personnel and Management (OPM) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for a personnel security clearance or as part of a background investigation. Additionally, SWFT will transmit an electronic fingerprint file with demographic information as part of a background investigation to the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) Person Data Repository (PDR) for identity matching purposes.
