c. Describe the purpose of this DoD information system or electronic collection and describe the types of personal information about individuals
collected in the system.

DTS provides a DoD-wide travel management system to include the processing of official travel requests for DoD personnel and other
individuals who travel pursuant to DoD travel orders; to provide for the reimbursement of travel expenses incurred by individuals while
traveling on official business; and to create a tracking system whereby DoD can monitor the authorization, obligation, and payment for such
travel.
DTS includes a business intelligence tool and archive that provide a repository for reporting and archiving travel records and can be used to
satisfy reporting and records management requirements. It is used to analyze travel and budgetary trends, respond to requests for data related
to travel, and detect fraud and abuse.
DTS collects the following types of personal information: full name, Social Security Number (SSN), DoD Identification Number (DoDID),
gender, date of birth, Passport information, mailing address, home address, emergency contact information, and personal email address. It
collects employment information including Service/Agency, duty station information, title/rank, civilian/military status information, and
work email address. It collects financial information including the government travel card number and expiration date, personal credit card
number and expiration date, and personal checking and/or savings account numbers and bank routing information. And it collects travel
information including frequent flyer information, travel itineraries (includes dates of travel) and reservations, trip record number, trip cost
estimates, travel vouchers, travel-related receipts, travel document status information, travel budget information, commitment of travel funds,
records of actual payment of travel funds, and supporting documentation.
d. Why is the PII collected and/or what is the intended use of the PII? (e.g., verification, identification, authentication, data matching, mission-related use,
administrative use)

PII is collected for identification verification for airline ticketing in compliance with Homeland Security regulations. Verification of bank
account information for direct deposit of voucher and payment of travel card expenses. PII is also used to establish a repository of travel
records which can be used to satisfy reporting requirements; to assist in the planning, budgeting, and allocation of resources for future DoD
travel; to conduct oversight operations; to analyze travel, budgetary, or other trends; to detect fraud and abuse; and to respond to authorized
internal and external requests for data relating to DoD official travel and travel related services.
e. Do individuals have the opportunity to object to the collection of their PII?

Yes

No

(1) If "Yes," describe the method by which individuals can object to the collection of PII.
(2) If "No," state the reason why individuals cannot object to the collection of PII.

If individuals object to the collection of their PII, then they should not enter the DTS system or accept the disclosure upon DTS login. They
may request a manual itinerary generation to reduce the amount of PII that is collected, however, ultimately, if they choose to travel on DoD
orders, they must allow the collection of PII. The privacy notice presented to the user prior to login states “DISCLOSURE: Voluntary,

m. What is the authority to collect information? A Federal law or Executive Order must authorize the collection and maintenance of a system of
records. For PII not collected or maintained in a system of records, the collection or maintenance of the PII must be necessary to discharge the
requirements of a statue or Executive Order.
(1) If this system has a Privacy Act SORN, the authorities in this PIA and the existing Privacy Act SORN should be similar.
(2) If a SORN does not apply, cite the authority for this DoD information system or electronic collection to collect, use, maintain and/or disseminate PII.
(If multiple authorities are cited, provide all that apply).
(a) Cite the specific provisions of the statute and/or EO that authorizes the operation of the system and the collection of PII.
(b) If direct statutory authority or an Executive Order does not exist, indirect statutory authority may be cited if the authority requires the
operation or administration of a program, the execution of which will require the collection and maintenance of a system of records.
(c) If direct or indirect authority does not exist, DoD Components can use their general statutory grants of authority (“internal housekeeping”) as
the primary authority. The requirement, directive, or instruction implementing the statute within the DoD Component must be identified.

Security Information

Work E-mail Address

If Other, enter the information in the box below

Social Security Number (SSN) (Full or in any
form)

Government travel credit card information, and personal bank account routing and account number, and other information which includes
travel preferences such as frequent flyer information, TSA PreCheck number, etc.
If the SSN is collected, complete the following questions.
(DoD Instruction 1000.30 states that all DoD personnel shall reduce or eliminate the use of SSNs wherever possible. SSNs shall not be used in spreadsheets,
hard copy lists, electronic reports, or collected in surveys unless they meet one or more of the acceptable use criteria.)
(1) Is there a current (dated within two (2) years) DPCLTD approved SSN Justification on Memo in place?
Yes

No

If "Yes," provide the signatory and date approval. If “No,” explain why there is no SSN Justification Memo.

Current memo on file is expired and currently up for renewal at this time. Exp 09/13/2020

(2) Describe the approved acceptable use in accordance with DoD Instruction 1000.30 “Reduction of Social Security Number (SSN) Use within DoD”.

Use of the SSN within the DTS is covered by sections 2.c (4), (7), (8) and (11) acceptable uses described in DoDI 1000.30: “Interactions
With Financial Institutions”, “Federal Taxpayer Identification Number”, “Computer Matching,” and “Legacy System Interface”. As the tax
identification number for all travelers, the SSN, is required by the vendor in order to facilitate payment of the government travel charge card
by Defense Finance and Accounting Service. In cases of investigations and audits, the SSN is also required to allow law enforcement and tax
authorities to cross-reference and validate account numbers and user identifications in the system.
(3) Describe the mitigation efforts to reduce the use including visibility and printing of SSN in accordance with DoD Instructoin 1000.30, “Reduction of
Social Security Number (SSN) Use within DoD”.

There are no plans at this time to reduce the use of SSN in the current system as DTS interfaces with many older systems, removal of the
SSN from the database and implementing a change of this magnitude adds substantial risk to the performance of each of these systems.
(4) Has a plan to eliminate the use of the SSN or mitigate its use and or visibility been identified in the approved SSN Justification request?
If "Yes," provide the unique identifier and when can it be eliminated?
If "No," explain.
Yes

No

Currently, none of the Service personnel systems have transitioned to the use of the DoD ID Number, although DTMO has encouraged such
change. The only way to uniquely identify using the above named data source is to request and use the SSN.

d. What additional measures/safeguards have been put in place to address privacy risks for this information system or electronic collection?

Records are stored in office buildings protected by security guards, closed circuit TV, controlled screening, use of visitor registers,
electronic access, key cards, ID badges, and/or locks. Access to the systems data is controlled using intrusion detection systems, firewalls, a
virtual private network, and DoD PKI certificates. Procedures are in place to deter and detect browsing and unauthorized access. To access
the records, personnel are assigned role-based access and must complete two-factor authentication using a CAC credential and password/
PIN. Access to records is limited to individuals who are properly screened and cleared on a need-to-know basis in the performance of their
official duties. Physical and electronic access are limited to persons responsible for servicing and authorized to use the record system. The
backups of data are encrypted and secured. The program office conducts security audits and monitor security practices.
