    The Department of Defense (DoD) is proposing a rule to update the system of records for the DoD 0004 "Defense Repository for Common Enterprise Data (DRCED)" under the Privacy Act of 1974. This update includes an exemption from certain Privacy Act provisions due to national security concerns, allowing certain records to withhold classification information. Comments on this proposal are open until March 8, 2021, and the DoD states that the rule will not significantly impact small businesses or impose extra information collection requirements on the public.

But, it might be hard to understand exactly what they're changing and why since they didn't give a lot of details.

    The Department of the Treasury has issued a final rule to exempt a new system called the Outbound Investment Security Program Notification System from certain parts of the Privacy Act. This system is connected to an Executive Order that deals with national security threats from foreign countries. The exemption aims to protect sensitive information and complies with legal limitations on disclosing certain kinds of data. Public comments were received, highlighting the need for transparency, but the Treasury emphasized that the exemptions are crucial for safeguarding national security and maintaining confidentiality.

    Simple Explanation

    The Treasury Department has decided that a new system called the Outbound Investment Security Program Notification System can keep some information secret for safety reasons, like a secret club protecting its treasures. This means they don't have to tell everyone everything about it, to keep the information safe from bad guys.
