Privacy Exemption Chart
The head of an agency, in this case the DoD, may promulgate regulations to exempt applicable records from particular provisions of the Privacy Act. Most notably those involving release of information to individuals that by its very nature would interfere with critical processes and/or expose the identity of a confidential source. The Privacy, Civil Liberties, and FOIA Directorate processes exemptions with the DoD Components system of records submissions. For more information on exemptions, please consult the Exemption Application Chart located below:
