The Department of Defense is updating its Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database system, which gathers information about sexual assaults involving armed forces members. This update aligns with new requirements, like including cases from the U.S. Space Force, and improving prevention efforts. It also adds routine uses for the data and updates various system sections, including using cloud storage. Comments on the proposed routine uses will be accepted until January 21, 2025.

The Department of Defense (DoD) has proposed a new rule to modify a system of records called the "Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database," which is intended to collect data related to sexual assault cases involving members of the Armed Forces. The rule seeks to exempt certain records within this database from parts of the Privacy Act to allow for better handling of legal actions or investigations without interference. The rule also invites the public to submit comments before it becomes final, and it explains that it won't significantly affect small businesses or impose compliance costs on state, local, or Tribal governments. The proposal is primarily focused on maintaining the privacy and integrity of ongoing investigations and ensuring a streamlined process for handling reports of sexual assault.
