in the estimates of burden were based
on historical data and current training
provider outreach. The estimate of
annualized cost was updated based off
of actual wage.
The prior information collection
request for OMB No. 1601–0016 was
approved through April 30, 2015 by
OMB. This collection will be submitted
to OMB for review to request
reinstatement of the collection. DHS
CE&A has revised the collection to
reflect three changes. These changes
include the addition of: Training/WFD
Provider Logo, Organization URL,
National Cybersecurity Workforce
Framework Role collection. These
changes were added based on input
received from the public. Including
provider logos and an organization URL
allows users to more easily find
organization information. The addition
of Cybersecurity Workforce Framework
Role information will allow users to
better align their courses with specific
cybersecurity roles found in the newest
Workforce Framework. The adjustments
reported in the estimates of burden were
based on historical data and current
training provider outreach. The estimate
of annualized cost was updated based
off of actual wage.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
which:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

AGENCY:

I. Background

In accordance with the
Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of
Homeland Security proposes to issue a
new Department of Homeland Security
system of records titled, ‘‘Department of
Homeland Security/U.S. Customs and
Border Protection—DHS/CBP–020
Export Information System System of
Records.’’ This system of records is used
by the Department of Homeland
Security/U.S. Customs and Border
Protection to collect and maintain
records on export commodity and
transportation shipment data.
Additionally, the Department of
Homeland Security is issuing a Notice
of Proposed Rulemaking to exempt this
system of records from certain
provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974, as
amended, elsewhere in the Federal
Register. This system will be included
in the Department of Homeland
Security’s inventory of record systems.
DATES: Submit comments on or before
October 2, 2015. This new system will
be effective October 2, 2015.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by docket number DHS–
2015–0054 by one of the following
methods:
• Federal e-Rulemaking Portal:
http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the
instructions for submitting comments.
• Fax: 202–343–4010.
• Mail: Karen L. Neuman, Chief
Privacy Officer, Privacy Office,

In accordance with the Privacy Act of
1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) proposes to
establish a new DHS system of records
titled, ‘‘DHS/CBP–020 Export
Information System (EIS) System of
Records.’’ The system of records is used
by CBP to collect, use, and maintain
paper and electronic records required to
track, control, and process cargo
exported from the United States. EIS
allows CBP to enhance national
security, enforce U.S. law, and facilitate
legitimate international trade.
CBP is publishing a system of records
notice (SORN) for EIS because CBP uses
EIS to collect and process information to
comply with export laws and facilitate
legitimate international trade. CBP is
charged with enforcing all U.S. export
laws at the border and the exporting
community is required to report export
data to CBP that contains personally
identifiable information (PII).
Subsection (a) of Section 343 of the
Trade Act of 2002 (19 U.S.C. 2071)
mandates that the Secretary of
Homeland Security (formerly the
Secretary of Treasury) collect cargo
information ‘‘through an electronic data
interchange system,’’ prior to the
departure of the cargo from the United
States by any mode of commercial
transportation (see 19 U.S.C. 2071 note.)
Pursuant to statute, CBP promulgated a
regulation requiring pre-departure filing
of electronic information to allow CBP
to examine the data before cargo leaves
the United States (see Electronic
Information for Outward Cargo

Privacy Office, Office of the
Secretary, Department of Homeland
Security.

Required in Advance of Departure (19
CFR 192.14)). CBP required exporters to
provide electronic cargo information
through the Automated Export System
(AES) to avoid redundancy as
specifically mandated by Congress (see
Mandatory Pre-Departure Filing of
Export Cargo Information Through the
Automated Export System, 73 FR 32466
(June 9, 2008)).
To comply with the regulation,
exporters must file the Electronic Export
Information (EEI), formerly the
Shipper’s Export Declaration (SED) 1
when the value of the commodity
classified under each individual
Schedule B number is over $2,500 or if
a validated export license is required to
export the commodity. The exporter is
responsible for preparing the EEI and
the carrier files it with CBP through the
AES or AES Direct (operated by the
Department of Commerce, U.S. Census
Bureau). Cargo information collected by
CBP includes PII such as a shipper’s
name, address, and tax identifying
number (TIN).
According to the U.S. Census Bureau,
in a standard export transaction, it is the
U.S. Principal Party in Interest’s (USPPI)
responsibility to prepare the EEI.
However, the USPPI can give freight
forwarders a power of attorney (POA) or
written statement (WA) authorizing
them to prepare and file the EEI on their
behalf. In a routed export transaction,
however, the Foreign Principal Party in
Interest (FPPI) must provide a POA or
WA to prepare the EEI to either the
USPPI or a U.S. Authorized Agent.
The Internal Transaction Number
(ITN) or exemption citation must be
provided by the EEI filer to the carrier
when the goods are presented for
export. The carrier is responsible for
providing the ITN or exemption citation
to CBP. CBP Officers will verify that the
ITN or exemption citations clearly
stated on export documents and
provided to the carrier(s) within the
prescribed timeframes. The procedures
for filing vary by cargo type (vessel,
truck, air, or rail). The timeframes for
filing varies according to the method of
transportation for pre-departure filing
(State Department United States
1 13 U.S.C. 301 (Department of Commerce, U.S.
Census Bureau root authority to collect the SED,
now EEI); pursuant to section 303, CBP (then U.S.
Customs Service, Dept. of Treasury) is required to
develop an automated system for collecting this
export data. Through title 13, the Census Bureau
holds stewardship of export data. Under the Trade
Act of 2002 (19 U.S.C. 2071 note), CBP is required
to collect an export manifest containing a
declaration identifying the parties to the
transaction, a physical description of the
commodity, its quantity, mode of conveyance, and
ports of origin and destination. Through title 19,
CBP, similarly, holds stewardship of export data.

Munitions List (USML) shipments and
non-USML shipments).
CBP is publishing this system of
records notice to provide notice of the
records maintained by CBP concerning
individuals who participate in exporting
goods from the United States. CBP
previously published a Privacy Impact
Assessment (PIA) for EIS last year.2
Consistent with DHS’s informationsharing mission, information stored in
the DHS/CBP–020 EIS System of
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, information may be shared
with appropriate federal, state, local,
tribal, territorial, foreign, or
international government agencies or
other parties consistent with the routine
uses set forth in this SORN. In
particular, information may be shared
with the U.S. Department of Commerce,
Bureau of Industry and Security, and
the U.S. Department of State, Directorate
of Defense Trade Controls, relating to
compliance and enforcement of licenses
issued by these respective agencies
concerning the controlled nature or
sensitive technology present in the
exported commodities (e.g., certain
central processing unit designs,
weapons systems).
Additionally, DHS is issuing a Notice
of Proposed Rulemaking elsewhere in
the Federal Register to exempt this
system of records from certain
provisions of the Privacy Act. This
system will be included in DHS’s
inventory of record systems.
II. Privacy Act
The Privacy Act embodies fair
information practice principles in a
statutory framework that govern the
means by which federal 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. An individual is defined in
the Privacy Act to encompass U.S.
citizens and lawful permanent
residents. As a matter of policy, DHS
extends administrative Privacy Act
protections to all persons when systems
of records maintain information on U.S.

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE:

The Secretary of Homeland Security
has exempted this system from the
notification, access, accounting, and
amendment procedures of the Privacy
Act because it is a law enforcement
system. However, DHS/CBP will
consider individual requests to
determine whether or not information
may be released. Individuals seeking
notification of and access to any record
contained in this system of records, or
seeking to contest its content, may
submit a request in writing to the
Headquarters or component’s Freedom
of Information Act Officer, whose
contact information can be found at
http://www.dhs.gov/foia under
‘‘Contacts.’’ If an individual believes
more than one component maintains
Privacy Act records concerning him or
her, the individual may submit the
request to the Chief Privacy Officer and
Chief FOIA Officer, Department of
Homeland Security, 245 Murray Drive,
SW., Building 410, STOP–0655,
Washington, DC 20528.
When individuals seek records about
themselves from this system of records
or any other Departmental system of
records, their requests must conform
with the Privacy Act regulations set
forth in 6 CFR part 5. They must first
verify their identities, meaning that they
must provide their full names, current
addresses, and dates and places of birth.
They must sign their requests, and each
of their signatures must either be
notarized or be 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, they
may obtain forms for this purpose from
the Chief Privacy Officer and Chief
FOIA Officer, http://www.dhs.gov/foia
or 1–866–431–0486. In addition, they
should:
• Explain why the Department would
have information about them;
• Identify which component(s) of the
Department would have the
information;
• Specify when 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 the individuals’ requests seek
records pertaining to another living
person, they must include a statement

from that individual certifying his/her
agreement for them to have access to
his/her records.
Without the above information the
component(s) may not be able to
conduct an effective search and a
request may be denied due to lack of
specificity or lack of compliance with
applicable regulations.
RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES:

See ‘‘Notification procedure’’ above.
CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES:

See ‘‘Notification procedure’’ above.

CBP obtains records from individuals
who participate in exporting goods from
the United States and other federal
agencies, as required to administer the
export laws of the United States.
EXEMPTIONS CLAIMED FOR THE SYSTEM:

DHS/CBP is not requesting an
exemption with respect to information
maintained in the system as it relates to
data submitted by or on behalf of an
individual. Information in the system
may be shared pursuant to the
exceptions under the Privacy Act (5
U.S.C. 552a(b)) and the above routine
uses. The Privacy Act requires DHS to
maintain an accounting of the
disclosures made pursuant to all
routines uses. Disclosing the fact that a
law enforcement or intelligence agency
has sought particular records may affect
ongoing law enforcement activity.
Therefore, pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
552a(j)(2), DHS will claim exemption
from sections (c)(3), (e)(8), and (g)(1) of
the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, as
is necessary and appropriate to protect
this information. In addition, pursuant
to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2), DHS will claim
exemption from section (c)(3) of the
Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, as is
necessary and appropriate to protect
this information.
