(a) DoD Components shall identify the systems of records that will be used in the match to ensure the publication requirements of subpart G have been satisfied.

(b) If a computer matching program is contemplated, the DoD Component shall contact the DPO and provide information regarding the contemplated match. The DoD DPO shall ensure that any proposed computer matching program satisfies the requirements of the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) and OMB Matching Guidelines ( 54 FR 25818 (June 19, 1989) ).
(c) A computer matching agreement (CMA) shall be prepared by the Component, consistent with the requirements of § 310.53 of this subpart and submitted to the DPO.
