This exemption provides limited protection of investigative reports maintained in a system of records used in personnel or administrative actions.
Investigatory material compiled solely for the purpose of determining suitability, eligibility, or qualifications for federal civilian employment, military service, federal contracts, or access to classified information may be exempt pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(5), but only to the extent that such material would reveal the identity of a confidential source.
Exempt materials from other systems of records may in turn become part of the case records in this system. To the extent that copies of exempt records from those ``other'' systems of records are entered into this case record, the Defense Intelligence Agency hereby claims the same exemptions for the records from those ``other'' systems that are entered into this system, as claimed for the original primary systems of records, which they are a part.
An exemption rule for this system has been promulgated in accordance with the requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(1), (2) and (3) (c) and (e) and it published at 32 CFR part 319.''
