What changed

The Department of the Army, through the Department of Defense, is rescinding a System of Records Notice (SORN) titled "Controlled Accountable Document Inventory System, A0001 DAMI." This system was originally established to conduct periodic inventories of classified documents and validate custodial accountability. The rescindment is effective January 23, 2026.

This action is being taken because the records previously managed under A0001 DAMI are now incorporated into a broader system, "A0 0001 DAMI, U.S. Army Security and Foreign Disclosure Files," which is being published concurrently. This is a procedural update to consolidate record management and does not impose new obligations or penalties on regulated entities. Compliance officers should note the rescinded system and ensure any references to it are updated to the new system if applicable to their operations.
