Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

The Office of the Secretary of Defense proposes to alter an existing system of records, DPR 32, entitled ``Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve Ombudsman and Outreach Programs'' to record information related to the mediation of disputes and answering of inquiries related to the USERRA; by tracking case assignments and mediation results of potential conflicts between employers and the National Guard, Reserves, or NDMS members they employ; and by reporting statistics related to the Ombudsman Program in aggregate and at the state committee-level. These records are also used as a management tool for statistical analysis, tracking, reporting, evaluating program effectiveness and conducting research.
