Background
TSA is altering two existing systems
of records under the Privacy Act of
1974. The first, the Transportation
Security Threat Assessment System (TSTAS) (DHS/TSA 002), facilitates the
performance of threat assessments and
employment investigations on
individuals who require special access
to the transportation system, and was
last amended in a notice published in
the Federal Register on December 10,
2004 (69 FR 71837).
The second, the Registered Traveler
(RT) Operations Files (DHS/TSA 015),
relates to a pilot project designed to
positively identify certain travelers who
volunteer to participate in the program.
The program may expedite the preboarding process and improve
allocation of TSA resources. Information
concerning the RT program was last
published in the Federal Register on
June 1, 2004 (69 FR 30948).
TSA is in the process of improving its
direct access to certain governmental
databases used in performing security
threat assessments in order to more
efficiently perform such assessments.
The improved access will result in the
individuals covered by these databases
being added to TSA record systems.
Accordingly, TSA is amending the
‘‘Categories of individuals covered by
the system’’ portions of T-STAS and RT
systems of records by adding, at the end
of the list of individuals, a new category
to include: ‘‘Known or suspected
terrorists identified in the Terrorist
Screening Database (TSDB) of the

VerDate Aug<31>2005

16:11 Nov 07, 2005

Jkt 208001

Terrorist Screening Center (TSC);
individuals identified by TSA who are
on the Selectee List because they pose
a viable threat to civil aviation or
national security; and individuals on
classified and unclassified
governmental terrorist, law
enforcement, immigration, or
intelligence databases, including
databases maintained by the Department
of Defense, National Counterterrorism
Center, or Federal Bureau of
Investigation.’’
TSA is also making further
amendments to the ‘‘Categories of
individuals covered by the system’’ and
to the ‘‘Categories of records in the
system’’ in the T-STAS system, which it
is not making to the RT system, by
expanding and clarifying various
sections as follows:
(1) Adding a new category (l) to the
categories of individuals, to expressly
include individuals seeking to become,
or qualified as, known shippers. These
individuals are currently covered by
category (g) ‘‘Other individuals who are
connected to the transportation industry
for whom TSA conducts security threat
assessments to ensure transportation
security,’’ but express identification in a
new category (l) will clarify that this
system covers these individuals.
(2) Adding the term ‘‘shipping
venues’’ to the introductory paragraph
of the categories of individuals, and
revising category (9) of ‘‘Routine uses of
records maintained in the system,
including categories of users and the
purposes of such uses’’ section to reflect
that TSA will disclose information to air
carriers and indirect air carriers
regarding individuals who contract for,
or seek access to, transportation
infrastructure or assets.
(3) Including in the introductory
paragraph of the categories of
individuals, individuals seeking, or
being provided access to, Sensitive
Security Information or Classified
information provided in connection
with transportation security matters.
(4) Modifying the first sentence of
‘‘Categories of individuals covered by
this system,’’ and category (a) of the
‘‘Purpose(s)’’ sections to clarify that the
system covers all types of evaluations
performed for security purposes.
(5) Revising categories (d) and (p), and
adding a new category (u) at the end of
the list of records in the ‘‘Categories of
records in the system,’’ as follows:
• Current category (d) covers various
forms of Government-issued licensing or
identification information. The category
is being revised to expressly reflect the
inclusion of citizenship and
immigration records, alien registration
numbers, and visa information. These

PO 00000

Frm 00075

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

items are currently listed in category (o)
and will be repeated in (d) to clarify that
such records are not limited to travel
documents, as they are listed in category
(o).
• Current category (p) covers criminal
history records obtained from the
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
This category is being revised to include
other criminal history records, such as
Department of Defense and some state
and local criminal history records.
While these records are described in
existing category of record (r) ‘‘Other
information provided by Federal, State,
and local government agencies or
private entities,’’ TSA has determined
that amending the category of records
will clarify that criminal history records
from several sources may be part of this
system.
• TSA is adding a new category (u) to
include suitability testing and results of
such testing. This expansion of the
category of records is intended to cover
any tests that transportation-related
employees or contractors may be
required to undergo.
The complete revised notice of the
systems of records follows.

improve the allocation of TSA’s security
resources on individuals who may pose
a security threat;
