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–011, Transportation
Security Intelligence Service (TSIS)
Operations Files System of Records (69
FR 71828, December 10, 2004).
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 records section is
updated to include biometric records.
• DHS/TSA is incorporating four DHS
standard routines 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.
• TSA is revising a routine use by
adding indirect air carriers and other
facility operators as potential recipients
of information from these systems when
appropriate to address a threat or
potential threat to transportation
security or national security, or when

VerDate Nov<24>2008

17:33 Apr 12, 2010

Jkt 220001

required for administrative purposes
related to the effective and efficient
administration of transportation security
laws.
• TSA is also revising a current
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 record source categories are
updated to reflect the use of commercial
and public record databases and Web
sites to obtain information regarding the
identity of individuals who attempt to
gain access to the sterile areas of the
airport and for whom identity needs to
be verified or individuals who are being
vetted to qualify as Federal flight deck
officers. The record source categories to
include Federal, State, local and foreign
agencies; formerly only U.S. agencies
were included.
• For each system of records covered
by this notice, the retention and
disposal sections are updated to reflect
the records retention schedules
approved by the National Archives and
Records Administration (NARA).
• The notification section for each
system of records covered by this notice
was changed to reflect that inquiries
regarding whether the applicable system
contains records about an individual
should be directed to TSA’s Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) Office.
The TSIS Operations Filing System
contains records on individuals
identified in intelligence,
counterintelligence, transportation
security and information systems
security records that relate to TSA’s
mission. For example, this system
contains information on individuals
involved in terrorism or the compromise
of classified information. DHS/TSA is
revising its system of records to reflect
necessary programmatic changes.
Portions of this system are exempt
under 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2), (k)(1), (k)(2)
and (k)(5) as reflected in the final rule
published on August 4, 2006 in 71 FR
44223.
Consistent with the Privacy Act,
information stored in the TSIS
Operations Files 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

PO 00000

Frm 00086

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

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 recordkeeping
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–011 TSIS Operations Files
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.
