Identifying Privacy Act (PA) Systems of Records
The Navy and Marine Corps maintain Privacy Act (PA) systems of records that are listed at https://www.doncio.navy.mil/ContentView.aspx?id=1876. Also on that web site are listings of all DoD PA systems of records and Government-wide PA systems of records.
A PA system of records notice is the authority that allows you to collect, maintain, and disseminate information which is retrieved by an individual's name and personal identifier.
Because many activities maintain similar kinds of records, we have written generic or "umbrella" PA systems of records notices to cover those activities having the need to collect those kinds of records.
Here are the steps to follow to identify PA systems of records you may hold:
STEP 1: Review this listing of "umbrella" PA systems of records that you may be using:

STEP 2: Some activities have written PA systems of records that are unique to their activity. Accordingly, if you are one of those activities, identify the specific records you hold.
For example, the following activities have systems of records which are specific to the work they do: Board for Correction of Naval Records, Naval Council of Personnel Boards, White House Liaison, Naval Education and Training Command, Chief of Chaplains, Navy Personnel Command, Naval Criminal Investigative Service, Strategic Systems Programs, Navy Installations Command, Military Sealift Command, Naval Health Research Center, Naval Sea Systems Command, General Counsel of the Navy, Naval Postgraduate School, US Naval Academy, Navy Exchange Command Service, Naval Safety Center, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, Judge Advocate General, Civilian Human Resources, Office of Naval Intelligence, Office of Naval Research, etc.
When looking for systems under your cognizance, focus on systems that carry the Standard Subject Identification Code (SSIC) you use.
These systems can be downloaded from https://www.doncio.navy.mil/ContentView.aspx?ID=1877
STEP 3: There are agencies within the U.S. Government that have developed Government-Wide systems of records that agencies may use. For example:

DHA 10 |
DOD Women, Infants and Children Overseas Participant Management System |
T7333 |
Travel Payment System |

These systems can be downloaded from https://www.defense.gov/Legal-Administrative/Privacy-Security/
