SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:


I. Background


In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Transportation Security

Administration (TSA) proposes to update and reissue a DHS/TSA system of

records notice titled, DHS/TSA--002 Transportation Security Threat

Assessment System of Records (70 FR 33383, November 8, 2005).

TSA's mission is to protect the nation's transportation systems to

ensure freedom of movement for people and commerce. To achieve this

mission, TSA is required to develop and adapt its security programs to

respond to evolving threats to transportation security. In accordance

with the biennial review of this system, the following modifications

are being made:

The categories of individuals section is updated to

expressly include individuals who seek maritime or surface

transportation facility access badges or credentials as well as

individuals who undergo a security threat assessment unassociated with

a


[[Page 28047]]


badge or credential. DHS/TSA is also adding individuals seeking to

become, or qualified as, Certified Cargo Screening Program validators;

individuals who are owners, operators, or directors of any mode of

transportation; individuals who undergo security threat assessments or

evaluations in order to obtain access to facilities over which DHS

exercises authority to this system of records. Information regarding an

individual's level of access at transportation facilities other than

airports over which DHS exercises authority, including information on

the termination or expiration of the individual's access is now also

included in the categories of records. The categories of individuals

also includes individuals who have been or seek to be distinguished

from individuals on a watch list through a redress process or other

means.

The routine uses section is updated to incorporate five

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) standard routine uses. One

routine use will allow release of information to appropriate agencies,

entities, and persons when DHS/TSA suspects or has confirmed that the

security or confidentiality of an information system of records has

been compromised. Another routine use permits the release of

information to the media when there exists a legitimate public interest

in disclosing information. Release under this routine use will require

the approval of the DHS Chief Privacy Officer in consultation with

counsel. Another routine use allows the release of information to a

court, magistrate, administrative tribunal or opposing counsel or

parties where a federal agency is a party or has an interest in the

litigation or administrative proceeding. The fourth routine use allows

DHS/TSA to release information to a former employee when it is

necessary to consult with the former employee regarding a matter that

is within that person's former area of responsibility. The fifth

routine use allows DHS/TSA to release information to appropriate

entities where it would assist in the enforcement of civil or criminal

laws.

Additionally, DHS/TSA is revising a routine use by adding

indirect air carriers and other facility operators as potential

recipients of information about individuals who are their employees,

job applicants, or contractors, or persons to whom they issue

identification credentials or grant clearances to secured areas in

transportation facilities when relevant to such employment,

application, contract, training or the issuance of such credentials or

clearances.

The retention and disposal section is updated to reflect

the records retention schedule approved by the National Archives and

Records Administration (NARA).

The notification section was changed to reflect that

inquiries regarding whether the applicable system contains records

about an individual should be directed to The Transportation Security

Administration Freedom of Information Act Office.

The Security Threat Assessment System contains records related to

security threat assessments, employment investigations, and evaluations

DHS/TSA conducts on certain individuals for security purposes. For

example, individuals who apply for a Transportation Worker

Identification Credential or a Hazardous Materials Endorsement must

undergo a security threat assessment and are covered by this system.

Portions of this system are exempt under 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(1) and

(k)(2). In addition, to the extent a record contains information from

other exempt systems of records, DHS/TSA will rely on the exemptions

claimed for those systems as reflected in the final rule published on

June 25, 2004 in 69 FR 35536. The information is collected to conduct

security threat assessments on individuals to ensure they do not pose,

and are not suspected of posing, a threat to transportation or national

security. Consistent with the Privacy Act, information stored in the

Transportation Security Threat Assessment System may be shared with

other DHS components, as well as appropriate federal, state, local,

tribal, foreign, or international government agencies. This sharing

will only take place after DHS determines that the receiving component

or agency has a need to know the information to carry out national

security, law enforcement, immigration, intelligence, or other

functions consistent with the routine uses set forth in this system of

records notice.


II. Privacy Act


The Privacy Act embodies fair information principles in a statutory

framework governing the means by which the United States Government

collects, maintains, uses, and disseminates individuals' records. The

Privacy Act applies to information that is maintained in a ``system of

records.'' A ``system of records'' is a group of any records under the

control of an agency for which information is retrieved by the name of

an individual or by some identifying number, symbol, or other

identifying particular assigned to the individual. In the Privacy Act,

an individual is defined to encompass United States citizens and lawful

permanent residents. As a matter of policy, DHS extends administrative

Privacy Act protections to all individuals where systems of records

maintain information on U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and

visitors. Individuals may request access to their own records that are

maintained in a system of records in the possession or under the

control of DHS by complying with DHS Privacy Act regulations, 6 CFR

part 5.

The Privacy Act requires each agency to publish in the Federal

Register a description denoting the type and character of each system

of records that the agency maintains, and the routine uses that are

contained in each system in order to make agency record keeping

practices transparent, to notify individuals regarding the uses to

their records are put, and to assist individuals to more easily find

such files within the agency. Below is the description of the DHS/TSA-

002 Transportation Security Threat Assessment System system of records.

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), DHS has provided a report of

this system of records to the Office of Management and Budget and to

Congress.

certifying his/her agreement for you to access his/her records.

Without this bulleted information the component(s) may not be able

to conduct an effective search, and your request may be denied due to

lack of specificity or lack of compliance with applicable regulations.


Record access procedure:

Same as ``Notification Procedure,'' above.


Contesting record procedure:

Same as ``Notification Procedure'' above.


Record source categories:

Records are obtained from individuals subject to a security threat

assessment, employment investigation, or other security analysis; from

aviation, maritime, and land transportation operators, flight schools,

or other persons sponsoring the individual; and any other persons,

including commercial entities that may have information that is

relevant or necessary to the assessment or investigation. Information

about individuals is also used or collected from domestic and

international intelligence sources and other governmental, private, and

public databases. The sources of information in the criminal history

records obtained from the Federal Bureau of Investigation are set forth

in the Privacy Act system of records notice Department of Justice

Federal Bureau of Investigation--009 Fingerprint Identification Records

System (72 FR 3410, January 1, 2007).
