DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND
SECURITY
[Docket No. DHS 2006–0077]

Privacy Act; Redress and Response
System of Records
Privacy Office, Office of the
Secretary, Department of Homeland
Security
ACTION: Notice of Privacy Act system of
records.
AGENCY:

SUMMARY: In accordance with the
Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) is giving
notice that it proposes to add a new
system of records to its inventory of
record systems, the DHS Redress and
Response Records System. This system
maintains records for the DHS Traveler
Redress Inquiry Program (TRIP), which
is the traveler redress mechanism being
established by DHS in connection with
the Rice-Chertoff Initiative, as well as in
accordance with other policy and law.
As the manifestation of the one-stop
redress for travelers objective stated in
the Rice-Chertoff Initiative, DHS TRIP
will facilitate the public’s ability to
provide appropriate information to DHS
for redress requests when they believe
they have been denied entry, refused
boarding for transportation, or identified
for additional screening by DHS
components or programs at their
operational locations, including
airports, seaports, train stations and
land borders that may have resulted in

the individual being delayed or
inconvenienced. DHS TRIP will create a
cohesive process to address these
redress requests across DHS.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted on or before February 20,
2007.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,

• E-Mail: [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) is establishing a new system of
records pursuant to the Privacy Act (5
U.S.C. 552a), entitled the Redress and
Response Records System, DHS/ALL—
005. The system serves as a DHS System
of Records for the DHS Traveler Redress
Inquiry Program (TRIP). On January 17,
2006, DHS Secretary Chertoff and
Department of State Secretary Rice
established the Rice-Chertoff Initiative.
One objective of this initiative is to
‘‘accelerate efforts to establish a
government-wide traveler screening
redress process to resolve questions if
travelers are incorrectly selected for
additional screening.’’ DHS TRIP
realizes this objective as the traveler
redress program at DHS that will
coordinate the redress processes for
travelers among DHS components and
other agencies and simplify the process
for travelers.
For example, individuals who believe
they have been denied entry, refused
boarding for transportation, or identified
for additional screening by DHS
components or programs at their
operational locations, including
airports, seaports, train stations and
land borders that may have resulted in
the individual being denied access to
transportation or entry into the United
States or otherwise delayed or
inconvenienced may submit
information through DHS TRIP.

VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001

DHS TRIP collects and maintains
information from the individual that
DHS may use to make an appropriate
determination to resolve, if possible, the
underlying issue regarding the request
for redress. The information collected
will be used to determine which DHS
component or other agency is most able
to address the redress request.
DHS TRIP will serve as a mechanism
to share redress-related information
across DHS components, to facilitate
efficient adjudication of redress
requests, and to facilitate
communication of redress results across
DHS components. Once the information
intake is complete, DHS TRIP will
facilitate the transfer of or access to this
information for the DHS components or
other agencies redress process, which
will address the redress request.
As part of addressing the redress
request under DHS TRIP, each DHS
component or other agency redress
process may share information provided
by individuals seeking redress with
other DHS components or programs and
other Federal agencies, such as the
Department of State and the Department
of Justice, including its Terrorist
Screening Center, to work toward the
possible resolution of the problem for
the individual.
In addition, DHS TRIP will maintain
a case management system of traveler
redress requests. This case management
function will be utilized to track case
progress, to provide metrics of redress
operations, to identify areas in need of
additional support, and to develop
lessons learned regarding the overall
DHS traveler redress process.
During the course of an adjudication
of a redress request submitted through
DHS TRIP, records or information,
exempt from specific requirements of
the Privacy Act, as defined by
regulation, from another system of
records may become part of, merged
with, or recompiled within this system.
To the extent this occurs, DHS will
claim the same exemptions as were
claimed in the original system from
which the recompiled records, material,
or information were a part. Such exempt
records or information are likely to
include law enforcement or national
security investigation records,
intelligence-related records, law
enforcement encounter records, or
terrorist screening records. These could
come from various DHS systems, such
as the Treasury Enforcement
Communications System (TECS) and the
Transportation Security Information
System (TSIS), or from other agency
systems. DHS, after conferring with the
appropriate component or agency, may
waive applicable exemptions in

appropriate circumstances and where it
would not interfere with or adversely
affect the law enforcement or national
security purposes of the systems from
which the information is recompiled or
in which it is contained.
Information that is maintained in this
System of Records may need to be
shared under certain circumstances to
adjudicate an individual’s redress
request. This ordinarily will occur
when, in an effort to verify an
individual’s identification to adjudicate
a redress request, the redress program
exchanges information with another
governmental entity involved in an
operational or informational process
associated with the individual’s redress
request. Likewise, information may be
shared with other Federal agencies
where those agencies have information
that can be used to distinguish the
identity of the individual seeking
redress from that of another individual
included on a watch list.
Additionally, limited information
may be shared with non-governmental
entities where necessary for the sole
purpose of effectuating an individual’s
redress request. For example, if an
individual has been cleared and
distinguished from a known or
suspected threat to aviation security,
that individual’s name and appropriate
associated information can be shared
with the airlines to prevent future
delays and disruptions for that
individual while traveling.
Other types of information sharing
that may result from the routine uses
outlined in this notice include: (1)
Disclosure to individuals who are not
DHS employees but have an agency
relationship with DHS to accomplish
DHS responsibilities; (2) sharing when
there appears to be a specific violation
or potential violation of law, or
identified threat or potential threat to
national or international security, such
as criminal or terrorist activities, based
on individual records in this system; (3)
sharing with the National Archives and
Records Administration for proper
handling of government records; (4)
sharing when relevant to litigation
associated with the Federal government;
and (5) sharing to protect the individual
who is the subject of the record from the
harm of identity theft in the case of a
data breach affecting this system.
DHS plans on publishing a Privacy
Impact Assessment for DHS TRIP
detailing the use and implementation of
this System of Records in order to
describe in detail specifics, including
access procedures.
The Privacy Act embodies fair
information principles in a statutory
framework governing the means by

E:\FR\FM\18JAN1.SGM

18JAN1

2296

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 11 / Thursday, January 18, 2007 / Notices

which the U.S. Government collects,
maintains, uses, and discloses
personally identifiable 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 retrieved by
a name of an individual or by some
identifying number, symbol, or other
identifying particular assigned to the
individual. 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 part 5.
The Privacy Act requires that each
agency publish in the Federal Register
a description of 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 about the use made of
personally identifiable information, and
to assist the individual to more easily
find files within the agency.
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), a
report on this system has been sent to
Congress and the Office of Management
and Budget.

Exemptions claimed for the system:
No exemption shall be asserted with
respect to information submitted by and
collected from the individual or the
individual’s representative in the course
of any redress process associated with
this System of Records.
This system, however, may contain
records or information recompiled from
or created from information contained
in other systems of records, which are
exempt from certain provisions of the
Privacy Act. For these records or
information only, in accordance with 5
U.S.C. 552a(j)(2), (k)(1), (k)(2), and
(k)(5), DHS will also claim the original
exemption for these records or
information from subsections (c)(3) and
(4); (d)(1), (2), (3), and (4); (e)(1), (2), (3),
(4)(G) through (I), (5), and (8); (f); and (g)
of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended,
as necessary and appropriate to protect
such information. Such exempt records
or information may be law enforcement
or national security investigation
records, law enforcement activity and
encounter records, or terrorist screening
records.
These records could come from
various DHS systems, such as the
Treasury Enforcement Communications
System (TECS) and the Transportation
Security Information System (TSIS), or
from third agency systems. DHS, after
conferring with the appropriate
component or agency, may waive
applicable exemptions in appropriate
circumstances and where it would not
appear to interfere with or adversely
affect the law enforcement or national
security purposes of the systems from
which the information is recompiled or
in which it is contained. As required
under the Privacy Act, DHS will issue
a rule to describe more fully the needs
and requirements for taking such
exemptions on such information.
