PRIVACY THRESHOLD ANALYSIS (PTA)
This form serves as the official determination by the DHS Privacy Office to
identify the privacy compliance requirements for all Departmental uses of
personally identifiable information (PII).
A Privacy Threshold Analysis (PTA) serves as the document used to identify
information technology (IT) systems, information collections/forms, technologies,
rulemakings, programs, information sharing arrangements, or pilot projects that involve
PII and other activities that otherwise impact the privacy of individuals as determined by
the Chief Privacy Officer, pursuant to Section 222 of the Homeland Security Act, and to
assess whether there is a need for additional Privacy Compliance Documentation. A PTA
includes a general description of the IT system, information collection, form, technology,
rulemaking, program, pilot project, information sharing arrangement, or other Department
activity and describes what PII is collected (and from whom) and how that information is
used and managed.
Please complete the attached Privacy Threshold Analysis and submit it to your
component Privacy Office. After review by your component Privacy Officer the PTA is sent
to the Department’s Senior Director for Privacy Compliance for action. If you do not have a
component Privacy Office, please send the PTA to the DHS Privacy Office:

Tel: 202-343-1717

Upon receipt from your component Privacy Office, the DHS Privacy Office will review this
form and assess whether any privacy compliance documentation is required. If compliance
documentation is required – such as Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), System of Records
Notice (SORN), Privacy Act Statement, or Computer Matching Agreement (CMA) – the DHS
Privacy Office or component Privacy Office will send you a copy of the relevant compliance
template to complete and return.

SPECIFIC IC/Forms PTA QUESTIONS
1. Purpose of the Information Collection or Form
RENEWAL
Application for Marine Event (CG-4423) provides the Coast Guard with the minimum
information needed to identify the marine event and the event contact to consider
whether or not an event is likely to result in the loss of human life unless special
precautions are taken.
Marine events may actually block navigation channels or cause interference with
adjacent vessel traffic or with the ability of larger commercial vessels to safely navigate
designated shipping lanes. Also, adjacent vessel traffic may interfere with the safety or
conduct of the marine event.
CG Form 4423 contains basic business contact information which may include the name,
address, phone number, city and state of any event sponsor wishing to conduct activity
that may block, or impede safe navigation on the navigable waters of the United States.
14 U.S.C. § 505; 33 U.S.C. § 1233; 46 U.S.C. §§ 3717, 12501; 33 CFR 100 are the USCG
authorites for this collection.
Records are maintained in accordance with NARA record retention schedule: N1-026-05015.

DHS Privacy Office Comments:
Please describe rationale for privacy compliance determination above.
USCG is submitting this renewal PTA to discuss Application for Marine Event, Form
CG-4423. This provides the Coast Guard with the minimum information needed to
identify the marine event and the event contact to consider whether or not an event
is likely to result in the loss of human life unless special precautions are taken. CG4423 contains basic business contact information which may include the name,
address, phone number, city and state of any event sponsor wishing to conduct
activity that may block, or impede safe navigation on the navigable waters of the
United States.
The DHS Privacy Office (PRIV) agrees that this form is privacy-sensitive, requiring
PIA coverage because PII is collected from members of the public and U.S. citizens or
lawful permanent residents.
PRIV agrees with USCG Privacy that PIA coverage is provided by DHS/USCG/PIA-008
Marine Information for Safety and Law Enforcement (MISLE), which assess the
collection of information, including PII, associated with vessels as well as
investigatory information.
PRIV agrees with USCG Privacy that SORN coverage is required because information
is being retrieved by a unique identifier. PRIV also agrees with USCG Privacy that
SORN coverage is provided by DHS/USCG-013, which outlines the Coast Guard’s
collection and maintenance of records related to safety, security and law
enforcement performance history of vessels, facilities, people and organizations
engaged in marine transportation, including enforcement action, that can be used to

identify and address safety, security and environmental risks and to establish vessel
eligibility for documentation as a U.S. flag vessel.
PRIV requires USCG update the SORN as under OMB Memorandum M-17-12, the
SAOP shall ensure that all agency Privacy Act SORNs include routine uses for the
disclosure of information necessary to respond to a breach either of the agency’s PII
or, as appropriate, to assist another agency in its response to a breach.
USCG has also submitted a sufficient Privacy Act Statement with this PTA. However,
the Privacy Act Statement needs to be updated in the form (CG-4423).
