SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background
The Department of Homeland
Security (DHS), Office of Security is
publishing an updated Privacy Act
system of records notice to cover its
collection, use and maintenance of
records relating to its role in the
collection and management of
personally identifiable information for
the purpose of issuing credentials
(identification badges) to meet the
requirements of the Homeland Security
Presidential Directive–12 (HSPD–12)
and in furtherance of the Office of
Security’s mission for the Department.
The Personal Identity Verification
Management System (PIVMS) records
will cover all DHS employees,
contractors and their employees,
consultants, and volunteers supporting
DHS who require long-term access to
Federal facilities and information
systems, as well as Federal emergency
response officials, foreign nationals on
assignment, and other Federal
employees detailed or temporarily
assigned to DHS who work in Federally
controlled facilities. The personally
identifiable information to be collected
will consist of data elements necessary
to identify the individual and to

VerDate Nov<24>2008

16:25 Jun 24, 2009

Jkt 217001

perform background or other
investigations concerning the individual
in order to determine their suitability
for access to Federal facilities. The
PIVMS will collect several data
elements from the personal identity
verification (PIV) card applicant,
including: Date of birth, Social Security
Number, organizational and employee
affiliations, fingerprints, digital color
photograph, digital signature and phone
number(s), as well as additional
verification information as determined
necessary. The Office of Security
designed this system to align closely
with its current business practices and
uses set forth in this system of records
notice.
DHS is publishing this updated notice
to include additions to the categories of
records and categories of individuals, as
well as to include an additional routine
use. The categories of records have been
updated to include maiden name,
mother’s maiden name, date of birth,
clearance level, identifying physical
information, financial history, entry on
duty date, weapons bearer designation,
and an expansion on what is included
in an SF–85 or equivalent form. These
records are either new records in the
PIV system or were erroneously
excluded from the previous SORN.
The categories of individuals have
expanded to include Federal emergency
response officials; foreign nationals on
assignment; and other Federal
employees detailed or temporarily
assigned to DHS, all of whom are in
direct support of the DHS mission and
who work in Federally controlled
facilities or require access to Federal
information technology systems. Lastly,
DHS has added a routine use for
responding to or investigating a data
breach.
Consistent with DHS’s information
sharing mission, information stored in
the PIVMS 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 personally identifiable

PO 00000

Frm 00039

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

information. 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 stored and retrieved by
the name of the individual or by some
identifying number such as property
address, mailing address, or symbol,
assigned to the individual. In the
Privacy Act, an individual is defined to
encompass United States citizens and
lawful permanent residents. DHS
extends administrative Privacy Act
protections to all individuals where
information is maintained on U.S.
citizens, lawful permanent residents,
and visitors. Individuals may request
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 5.21.
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 which
personally identifiable information is
put, and to assist individuals to more
easily find such files within the agency.
Below is the description of the Personal
Identity Verification Management
system of records.
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r),
DHS has provided a report of this new
system of records to the Office of
Management and Budget and to
Congress.
System of Records:

DHS/All—026
SYSTEM NAME:

DHS/ALL Personal Identity
Verification Management System
(PIVMS).

access systems at all DHS and
component facilities will have systemlevel access to the PIVMS for real-time
verification of user credentials.
CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE
SYSTEM:

Categories of individuals covered by
this system include: All DHS

PURPOSE(S):

The purpose of this system is to:
• Ensure the safety and security of
DHS facilities, systems, or information,
and our occupants and users;
• Verify that all persons entering
Federal facilities, using Federal
information resources, are authorized to
do so; and
• Track and control PIV cards issued
to persons entering and exiting the DHS
facilities or using DHS systems.
ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE
SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND
THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:

In addition to those disclosures
generally permitted under 5 U.S.C.
552a(b) of the Privacy Act, all or a
portion of the records or information
contained in this system may be
disclosed outside DHS as a routine use
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3).
Disclosures may be made to:
A. To the Department of Justice (DOJ)
or other Federal agency conducting
litigation or in proceedings before any
court, adjudicative or administrative
body, when:
1. DHS or any component thereof;
2. Any employee of DHS in his/her
official capacity;
3. Any employee of DHS in his/her
individual capacity where DOJ or DHS
has agreed to represent the employee; or
4. The United States or any agency
thereof, is a party to the litigation or has
an interest in such litigation, and DHS
determines that the records are both
relevant and necessary to the litigation
and the use of such records is
compatible with the purpose for which
DHS collected the records.
B. To a congressional office from the
record of an individual in response to
an inquiry from that congressional office
made at the request of the individual to
whom the record pertains.
C. To the National Archives and
Records Administration or other Federal
government agencies pursuant to
records management inspections being
conducted under the authority of 44
U.S.C. 2904 and 2906.
D. To an agency, organization, or
individual for the purpose of performing

PO 00000

Frm 00040

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

audit or oversight operations as
authorized by law, but only such
information as is necessary and relevant
to such audit or oversight function.
E. To appropriate agencies, entities,
and persons when:
1. DHS suspects or has confirmed that
the security or confidentiality of
information in the system of records has
been compromised;
2. The Department has determined
that as a result of the suspected or
confirmed compromise there is a risk of
harm to economic or property interests,
identity theft or fraud, or harm to the
security or integrity of this system or
other systems or programs (whether
maintained by DHS or another agency or
entity) that rely upon the compromised
information; and
3. The disclosure made to such
agencies, entities, and persons is
reasonably necessary to assist in
connection with DHS’s efforts to
respond to the suspected or confirmed
compromise and prevent, minimize, or
remedy such harm.
F. To contractors and their agents,
grantees, experts, consultants, and
others performing or working on a
contract, service, grant, cooperative
agreement, or other assignment for DHS,
when necessary to accomplish an
agency function related to this system of

information under this routine use are
subject to the same Privacy Act
requirements and limitations on
disclosure as are applicable to DHS
officers and employees.
G. To an appropriate Federal, State,
tribal, local, international, or foreign law
enforcement agency or other appropriate
authority charged with investigating or
prosecuting a violation or enforcing or
implementing a law, rule, regulation, or
order, where a record, either on its face
or in conjunction with other
information, indicates a violation or
potential violation of law, which
includes criminal, civil, or regulatory
violations and such disclosure is proper
and consistent with the official duties of
the person making the disclosure.
H. To the Department of Justice (DOJ)
when:
1. The agency or any component
thereof;
2. Any employee of the agency in his
or her official capacity;

or her individual capacity where agency
or the Department of Justice has agreed
to represent the employee; or

party to litigation or has an interest in
such litigation, and by careful review,
the agency determines that the records
are both relevant and necessary to the

litigation and the use of such records by
DOJ is therefore deemed by the agency
to be for a purpose compatible with the
purpose for which the agency collected
the records.
I. To a court or adjudicative body in
a proceeding when: (a) The agency or
any component thereof; (b) any
employee of the agency in his or her
official capacity; (c) any employee of the
agency in his or her individual capacity
where agency or the Department of
Justice has agreed to represent the
employee; or (d) the United States
Government is a party to litigation or
has an interest in such litigation, and by
careful review, the agency determines
that the records are both relevant and
necessary to the litigation and the use of
such records is therefore deemed by the
agency to be for a purpose that is
compatible with the purpose for which
the agency collected the records.
J. Except as noted on Forms SF 85,
85–P, and 86, when a record on its face,
or in conjunction with other records,
indicates a violation or potential
violation of law, whether civil, criminal,
or regulatory in nature, and whether
arising by general statute or particular
program statute, or by regulation, rule,
or order issued pursuant thereto,
disclosure may be made to the
appropriate public authority, whether
Federal, foreign, State, local, or tribal, or
otherwise, responsible for enforcing,
investigating or prosecuting such
violation or charged with enforcing or
implementing the statute, or rule,
regulation, or order issued pursuant
thereto, if the information disclosed is
relevant to any enforcement, regulatory,
investigative or prosecutorial
responsibility of the receiving entity.
K. To a Federal, State, local, foreign,
or tribal or other public authority the
fact that this system of records contains
information relevant to the retention of
an employee, the retention of a security
clearance, the letting of a contract, or
the issuance or retention of a license,
grant, or other benefit. The other agency
or licensing organization may then make
a request supported by the written
consent of the individual for the entire
record if it so chooses. No disclosure
will be made unless the information has
been determined to be sufficiently
reliable to support a referral to another
office within the agency or to another
Federal agency for criminal, civil,
administrative personnel or regulatory
action.
L. To the Office of Management and
Budget when necessary to the review of
private relief legislation pursuant to
OMB Circular No. A–19.
M. To a Federal, State, or local
agency, or other appropriate entities or

liaison channels to selected foreign
governments, in order to enable an
intelligence agency to carry out its
responsibilities under the National
Security Act of 1947, as amended, the
CIA Act of 1949, as amended, Executive
Order 12333 or any successor order,
applicable national security directives,
or classified implementing procedures
approved by the Attorney General and
promulgated pursuant to such statutes,
orders or directives.
N. To notify another Federal agency
when, or verify whether, a PIV card is
no longer valid.
O. To the news media and the public,
with the approval of the Chief Privacy
Officer in consultation with counsel,
when there exists a legitimate public
interest in the disclosure of the
information or when disclosure is
necessary to preserve confidence in the
integrity of DHS or is necessary to
demonstrate the accountability of DHS’s
officers, employees, or individuals
covered by the system, except to the
extent it is determined that release of
the specific information in the context
of a particular case would constitute an
unwarranted invasion of personal
privacy.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the
Privacy Act of 1974, and as part of the
Department of Homeland Security’s
ongoing effort to review and update
legacy system of record notices, the
Department of Homeland Security is
giving notice that it proposes to add a
system of records to its inventory of
record systems titled United States
Coast Guard Marine Information for
Safety and Law Enforcement System of
Records. This system is a compilation of
five legacy record systems: DOT/CG
679, Marine Information for Safety and
Law Enforcement System (April 22,
2002), DOT/CG 588, Marine Safety
Information System (April 11, 2000),
DOT/CG 505, Recreational Boating Law
Enforcement Case Files (April 11, 2000),
DOT/CG 590, Vessel Identification
System (April 11, 2000), DOT/CG 591,
Merchant Vessel Documentation System
(April 11, 2000). This record system will
allow the Department of Homeland
Security/United States Coast Guard to
collect and maintain records regarding
marine, safety and law enforcement
information. Categories of individuals,
categories of records, and routine uses
of these legacy system of records notices
have been consolidated and updated to
better reflect the United States Coast
Guard’s marine, safety and law
enforcement information. Additionally,
DHS is issuing a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (NPRM) concurrent with
this SORN elsewhere in the Federal
Register. The exemptions for the legacy
system of records notices will continue
to be applicable until the final rule for
this SORN has been completed. This
new system will be included in the
Department of Homeland Security’s
inventory of record systems.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted on or before July 27, 2009.

Guard to collect and maintain records
regarding marine information and law
enforcement information.
In accordance with the Privacy Act of
1974, and as part of the Department of
Homeland Security’s ongoing effort to
