The SORN is being retitled \"U.S. Army Security and Foreign Disclosure Files,\" with a new identifier of A0 0001 DAMI. Originally established to facilitate the processing of personnel security clearance actions, the SORN also documented clearances granted or denied and confirmed eligibility for access to classified information or assignment to sensitive positions. A separate notice rescinding Army SORN A0001 DAMI, \"Controlled Accountable Document Inventory System,\" is being published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register. This update incorporates the DoD standard routine uses and supports additional information sharing outside of the DoD. It also expands the authorities for maintaining the system, integrates records previously managed under the Controlled Accountable Document Inventory System, addresses records maintained across all general intelligence security disciplines, and expands on the purposes of such uses. Additionally, the update revises system locations and managers. These changes align the SORN with modernized automation systems and ensure compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.","document_number":"2026-01236","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/01/23/2026-01236/privacy-act-of-1974-system-of-records","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-01-23/pdf/2026-01236.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-01236.pdf?1769089514","publication_date":"2026-01-23","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE","name":"Defense Department","id":103,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/defense-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/103","parent_id":null,"slug":"defense-department"},{"raw_name":"Department of the Army","name":"Army Department","id":32,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/army-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/32","parent_id":103,"slug":"army-department"}],"excerpts":"Information <span class=\"match\">Security</span> Program; AR 380-49, Industrial <span class=\"match\">Security</span> Program; AR 380-53, Communications <span class=\"match\">Security</span> Monitoring; AR 380-67, Personnel <span class=\"match\">Security</span> Program; AR 380-381 Special Access Programs (SAPs) and Sensitive Activities; AR 381-45, Investigative Records Repository; and E.O. 9397 (SSN), as amended.\n \n <span class=\"match\">PURPOSE</span>(S) OF THE SYSTEM: \n This system of records supports the Department of Army's operational administration, management, accountability, and oversight of its <span class=\"match\">security</span> functions such as Information <span class=\"match\">Security</span>, Personnel <span class=\"match\">Security</span>, Industrial <span class=\"match\">Security</span>, Education"},{"title":"Inmate Discipline Program: Disciplinary Segregation and Prohibited Act Code Changes","type":"Proposed Rule","abstract":"In this document, the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) proposes to amend, clarify, and streamline inmate discipline regulations to conform with current practice; to adopt recommendations of the January 2016 U.S. Department of Justice Report and Recommendations Concerning the Use of Restrictive Housing to reduce the potential length of the disciplinary segregation sanction; and to amend and clarify the list of prohibited act codes.","document_number":"2024-01088","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/02/01/2024-01088/inmate-discipline-program-disciplinary-segregation-and-prohibited-act-code-changes","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-02-01/pdf/2024-01088.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2024-01088.pdf?1706708712","publication_date":"2024-02-01","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE","name":"Justice Department","id":268,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/justice-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/268","parent_id":null,"slug":"justice-department"},{"raw_name":"Bureau of Prisons","name":"Prisons Bureau","id":437,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/prisons-bureau","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/437","parent_id":268,"slug":"prisons-bureau"}],"excerpts":"is necessary to <span class=\"match\">discipline</span> for infractions similarly to current code 196, “use of the mail for an illegal <span class=\"match\">purpose</span> or to commit or further a Greatest category prohibited act;” and 197, “use of the telephone for an illegal <span class=\"match\">purpose</span> or to commit or further a Greatest category prohibited act.” \n \n Expansion of code 196, regarding use of the mail for an illegal <span class=\"match\">purpose</span>. \n \n Current code 196 allows for <span class=\"match\">discipline</span> for use of the mail for an illegal <span class=\"match\">purpose</span> or to commit or further a Greatest category prohibited act.

The proposal would revise the risk-based capital treatment of certain exposure categories under the standardized approach, focusing on improving the calibration and risk sensitivity of risk weights that are particularly material to covered banking organizations' lending activities. The proposal would also modify the definition of regulatory capital by removing the threshold- based deduction for mortgage servicing assets for all banking organizations subject to the regulatory capital rule, including banking organizations subject to the community bank leverage ratio framework. In addition, the proposal would require Category III and IV banking organizations to recognize most elements of accumulated other comprehensive income in their regulatory capital. The agencies are concurrently publishing a separate proposal, which would require Category I and II banking organizations to use a new framework to calculate risk-weighted assets, called the expanded risk-based approach and would allow other banking organizations to elect to use the expanded risk-based approach.","document_number":"2026-05960","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/03/27/2026-05960/regulatory-capital-rules-regulatory-capital-and-standardized-approach-for-risk-weighted-assets","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-03-27/pdf/2026-05960.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-05960.pdf?1774529110","publication_date":"2026-03-27","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY","name":"Treasury Department","id":497,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/treasury-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/497","parent_id":null,"slug":"treasury-department"},{"raw_name":"Office of the Comptroller of the Currency","name":"Comptroller of the Currency","id":80,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/comptroller-of-the-currency","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/80","parent_id":497,"slug":"comptroller-of-the-currency"},{"raw_name":"FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM","name":"Federal Reserve System","id":188,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-reserve-system","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/188","parent_id":null,"slug":"federal-reserve-system"},{"raw_name":"FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION","name":"Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation","id":164,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-deposit-insurance-corporation","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/164","parent_id":null,"slug":"federal-deposit-insurance-corporation"}],"excerpts":"held-to-maturity <span class=\"match\">securities</span> that are included in AOCI.\n \n \n \n \n 19 \n  Available-for-sale <span class=\"match\">securities</span> refers to debt <span class=\"match\">securities</span>.
