Reporting System (DIBRS); and E.O. 9397 (SSN).

Purpose(s):
    To provide a single central facility within the Department of 
Defense (DoD) which can serve as a repository of criminal and specified 
other non-criminal incidents which will be used to satisfy statutory 
and regulatory reporting requirements, specifically to provide crime 
statistics required by the Department of Justice (DoJ) under the 
Uniform Federal Crime Reporting Act; to provide personal information 
required by the DoJ under the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act; 
and statistical information required by DoD under the Victim's Rights 
and Restitution Act; and to enhance DoD's capability to analyze trends 
and to respond to executive, legislative, and oversight requests for 
statistical crime data relating to criminal and other high-interest 
incidents.

Routine uses of records maintained in the system, including categories 
of users and the purposes of such uses:
    In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 
552a(b) of the Privacy Act, these records or information contained 
therein may be disclosed outside the Department of Defense as a routine 
use pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) only as follows:
    To the Department of Justice:
    (1) To compile crime statistics so that such information can be 
both disseminated to the general public and used to develop statistical 
data for use by law enforcement agencies.
    (2) To compile information on those individuals for whom receipt or 
possession of a firearm would violate the law so that such information 
can be included in the National Instant Criminal Background Check 
System which may be used by firearm licensees (importers, manufactures 
or dealers) to determine whether individuals are disqualified from 
receiving or possessing a firearm.
    The `Blanket Routine Uses' set forth at the beginning of the DLA 
compilation of record system notices do not apply to this record 
system.
