I. Background
In accordance with the Privacy Act of
1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, DHS/ICE is
updating, renaming, and reissuing a
DHS system of records now titled,
‘‘DHS/Immigration and Enforcement
(ICE)–011 Criminal Arrest Records and
Immigration Enforcement Records
(CARIER) System of Records.’’
The DHS/ICE update to CARIER
includes several changes. First, the
system of records is being renamed to
better align it with the purpose of the
system. This system of records covers
records documenting ICE’s criminal
arrests, and also those documenting
most of ICE’s immigration enforcement
actions, such as the issuance of
immigration detainers; the arrests,
charging, detention, and removal of
aliens for administrative immigration
violations; the search for and
apprehension of fugitive aliens; and ICE
decisions concerning the grant or denial
of parole to aliens. This system of
records is being created from a
previously issued system of records
named, DHS/ICE 011–Immigration and
Enforcement Operational Records
(ENFORCE), 80 FR 24,269 (Apr. 30,
2015).
Second, this update seeks to clarify
the types of individuals whose
information is contained in this system
of records. Some items in the category
of individuals section have been
reorganized and edited to more clearly
identify the individuals whose records
may be present in this system of
records.
Third, the categories of records
section has been expanded to provide a
more detailed and complete list of the
types of information contained in the
system of records. The new categories of
records added to the system of records
are domestic and foreign criminal
history information; information related
to detainees’ accounts for telephone or
commissary services in a detention
facility; and video recordings of
detainees. The CARIER system of
records also contains detainee
voiceprints used to verify identity when
a detainee is released under an
alternative to detention program, as well
as the actual audio recordings of
detainee ‘‘check-in’’ telephone calls.
Additionally, the CARIER system of
records contains recordings of detainee
telephone calls made from a detention
facility and information about these
calls such as the date, time, duration,
and telephone number called (Note:
Information for protected telephone
calls, such as calls with an attorney, is
not recorded).

Fourth, the system location and
security classification have been
updated to indicate that certain records
may be replicated from ICE’s
Enforcement Integrated Database (EID)
and stored on both DHS unclassified
and classified networks to allow for
analysis and vetting consistent with
existing DHS/ICE authorities and
purposes and this published notice.
Fifth, the title of the system manager
has been updated.
Finally, DHS is proposing to add new
routine uses that would allow ICE to
share information from the CARIER
system of records with the specified
recipients for the specified purpose.
DHS is also proposing to delete several
routine uses and modify several others
to clarify their meaning and/or to
expand or limit the scope of the
information shared. Several of the
routine uses being added to or updated
in the CARIER SORN are the same
routine uses included in the Department
of Homeland Security/U.S. Customs and
Immigration Services (USCIS)/ICE/
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)001 Alien File, Index, and National File
Tracking (A-File) SORN. 78 FR. 69,864,
(Nov. 21, 2013). Although both SORNs
support the immigration enforcement
mission, they often contain different
information about aliens that may need
to be shared. Therefore, identical or
similar routine uses may be needed in
both SORNs to ensure that immigration
information can be shared as needed for
law enforcement and other authorized
purposes.
Below is a summary of the new
routine uses and their corresponding
letter:
(H) To prospective claimants and
their attorneys for the purpose of
negotiating the settlement of an actual
or prospective claim against DHS or its
current or former employees, in advance
of the initiation of formal litigation or

information submitted by an individual
who has requested such redress on
behalf of another individual.
(OO) To federal, state, local, tribal,
territorial, or foreign governmental

territorial, foreign, or international
agencies, after discovery of such
information, if DHS determines: (1) The
information is relevant and necessary to
that agency’s decision concerning the
hiring or retention of an individual, or
issuance of a security clearance, license,

Failure to disclose the information is
likely to create a substantial risk to
government facilities, equipment or
personnel; sensitive information; critical
infrastructure; or public safety.
Below is a summary of the routine
uses that are proposed to be modified or
deleted, and their corresponding letter:
(A) Expanded scope to include
sharing with the Offices of the United
States Attorneys. Also removed sharing
with a court, magistrate, administrative
tribunal, opposing counsel, parties, and
witnesses because routine use LL now
permits sharing with these recipients.
(C) Updated to note that records will
be provided specifically to the General
Services Administration rather than to
other Federal Government agencies.
(D) Updated to clarify that records
will not be given to individuals, but to
agencies or organizations performing the
audit.
(E) Updated to add the risk of identity
theft or fraud, and harm to economic or
property interests as additional risks
that DHS may determine may be a result
of the suspected or confirmed
compromise.
Routine use H in the previous version
of the SORN, which authorized
disclosure during court proceedings, has
been removed and replaced by new
routine use MM. The new routine use
contains improved wording that is
clearer about when disclosures may be
made under these circumstances.
(I) Updated to enable DHS to share
information when it deems that such
disclosure is necessary to carry out its
functions and statutory mandates.
(J) Former routine uses J and K have
been removed and the sharing they
permitted is now combined into one
routine use that authorizes disclosure
for the purposes of national security,
intelligence, counterintelligence, or
antiterrorism activities.
Routine use L in the previous version
of the SORN has been removed and
replaced by a new routine use K
permitting sharing with federal and
foreign government intelligence or
counterterrorism agencies or
components in support of national
intelligence and security investigations
or to assist in anti-terrorism efforts.
(N) Updated to clarify that in
disclosing custodial location to family
members, attorneys, and other agents

E:\FR\FM\19OCN1.SGM

19OCN1

sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 202 / Wednesday, October 19, 2016 / Notices
acting on the behalf of an alien, the
agency may also disclose if the alien
was released from ICE custody and/or
transferred to the custody of another
agency. This authority was implied but
not expressly stated in the previous
version of routine use N. Also modified
to clarify that disclosure is authorized to
attorneys representing the alien in any
legal proceeding, not only immigration
proceedings.
(O) Updated to clarify that
information can be shared for other
purposes or activities within the scope
of the EOIR contract.
(R) (previously routine use Q)
Expanded scope to include sharing with
domestic courts and to clarify agencies
collecting the repayment of loans, or
fraudulently or erroneously secured
benefits.
(V) (previously routine use U)
Expanded scope to include prosecutions
and/or other law enforcement actions.
(W) (previously routine use V)
Expanded scope to include sharing with
federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial
law enforcement or correctional
agencies concerning individuals in ICE
custody that are to be transferred to
such agency’s custody, in order to
coordinate the transportation, custody,
and care of the individuals.
(X) (previously routine use W)
Expanded scope to include sharing in
order to arrange other social services.
(Y) (previously routine use X)
Updated to replace ICE with DHS.
(BB) (previously routine use CC)
Expanded the sharing of custodial
information to witnesses and
individuals with a legal responsibility to
act on behalf of or acting at the request
of a victim or witness, as well as
external victim notification systems.
(CC) (previously routine use Y) Scope
is narrowed to exclude sharing in order
to place an immigration detainer on an
individual. Sharing in order to place a
detainer is now covered by routine use
DD. Additionally, this routine use
previously was used when ICE was
transferring an individual to another
agency. It has been expanded to allow
sharing during the course of transfer of
custody of an individual either to or
from ICE’s custody.
(HH) (previously routine use BB)
Expanded scope to include sharing with
the attorney or guardian ad litem of an
individual’s child for purposes of
allowing the attorney/guardian to
identify the location or status of the
individual.
(KK) (previously routine use FF)
Expanded scope to include sharing with
territorial government agencies or
entities or multinational governmental
agencies. It also expands the purposes of

VerDate Sep<11>2014

17:39 Oct 18, 2016

Jkt 241001

the sharing to developing and
implementing new software or
technology when the purpose of the
software or technology is related to this
system of records.
(LL) (previously routine use GG)
Former routine use GG has been
removed and the sharing it permitted is
now contained in two new routine uses
to improve clarity: Routine use LL
permitting the disclosure of information
via the ICE Online Detainee Locator
System or any successor system, and
routine use VV permitting the
disclosure of information to facilitate
the deposit of monies into detainees’
accounts for telephone or commissary
services in a detention facility.
Finally, there have been changes
regarding the retention period for some
records. Retention periods have been
added for records concerning paroled
aliens and fugitive aliens maintained in
certain ICE information systems. Also,
the fingerprints and photographs
collected using the booking application
EID Arrest Guide for Law Enforcement
(EAGLE), previously known as Mobile
IDENT, originally were stored for up to
seven (7) days in the cache of an
encrypted Government laptop or other
IT device. Now they are stored for up to
fifty (50) days.
Consistent with DHS’s information
sharing mission, information stored in
the DHS/ICE–011 Criminal Arrest
Records and Immigration Enforcement
Records may be shared with other DHS
Components that have a need to know
the information to carry out their
national security, law enforcement,
immigration, intelligence, or other
homeland security functions. In
addition, DHS/ICE may share
information with appropriate federal,
state, local, tribal, territorial, foreign, or
international government agencies
consistent with the routine uses set
forth in this system of records notice.
This updated system will be included
in DHS’s inventory of record systems.
II. Privacy Act
The Privacy Act embodies fair
information principles in a statutory
framework governing the means by
which Federal Government agencies
collect, maintain, use, and disseminate
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
from 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 U.S.

PO 00000

Frm 00049

Fmt 4703

72083

citizens and lawful permanent
residents. As a matter of policy, DHS
extends administrative Privacy Act
protections to all individuals when
systems of records maintain information
on U.S. citizens, lawful permanent
residents, and visitors.
Below is the description of the DHS/
ICE–011 Criminal Arrest Records and
Immigration Enforcement Records
(CARIER) 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.

record contained in this system of
records, or seeking to contest its
content, may submit a request in writing
to ICE’s Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) Officer, whose contact
information can be found at http://
www.ice.gov/foia under ‘‘Contacts.’’
When seeking records about yourself
from this system of records or any other
Departmental system of records your
request must conform with the Privacy
Act regulations set forth in 6 CFR part
5. You must first verify your identity,
meaning that you must provide your full
name, current address, and date and
place of birth. You must sign your
request, and your signature must either
be notarized or submitted under 28
U.S.C. 1746, a law that permits
statements to be made under penalty of
perjury as a substitute for notarization.
While no specific form is required, you
may obtain forms for this purpose from
the Chief Privacy Officer and Chief
Freedom of Information Act Officer,
http://www.dhs.gov/foia or 1–866–431–
0486. In addition you should provide
the following:
• Explain why you believe the
Department would have information on
you;
• Identify which component(s) of the
Department you believe may have the
information about you;
• Specify when you believe the
records would have been created; and
• Provide any other information that
will help the FOIA staff determine
which DHS component agency may
have responsive records.
• If your request is seeking records
pertaining to another living individual,
you must include a statement from that
individual 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.
In processing requests for access to
information in this system, DHS/ICE
will review not only the records in the
operational system, but also the records
that were replicated on the unclassified
and classified networks, and based on
this notice provide appropriate access to
the information.

those records that are claimed for the
original primary systems of records from
which they originated and claims any
