DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND
SECURITY
Office of the Secretary
Published Privacy Impact
Assessments on the Web
Privacy Office, DHS.
Notice of Publication of Privacy
Impact Assessments (PIA).

AGENCY:
ACTION:

The Privacy Office of the DHS
is making available sixteen PIAs on
various programs and systems in the
Department. These assessments were
approved and published on the Privacy
Office’s web site between January 8,
2011 and March 31, 2011.
DATES: The PIAs will be available on the
DHS Web site until July 26, 2011, after
which they may be obtained by
contacting the DHS Privacy Office
(contact information below).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mary Ellen Callahan, Chief Privacy
Officer, Department of Homeland
Security, Washington, DC 20528, or
e-mail: [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Between
January 8, 2011 and March 31, 2011, the
Chief Privacy Officer of the DHS
approved and published sixteen Privacy
Impact Assessments (PIAs) on the DHS
Privacy Office Web site, http://
www.dhs.gov/privacy, under the link for
‘‘Privacy Impact Assessments.’’ These
PIAs cover sixteen separate DHS
programs. Below is a short summary of
those programs, indicating the DHS
component responsible for the system,
and the date on which the PIA was
approved. Additional information can
be found on the Web site or by
contacting the Privacy Office.
System: DHS/ICE/PIA–005(b) Bond
Management Information System
(BMIS) Web Release 2.2 Update.
Component: U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Date of approval: January 19, 2011.
Bond Management Information
System (BMIS) is an immigration bond
management database used primarily by
the Office of Financial Management at
U.S. ICE. The basic function of BMIS is
to support the financial management of
immigration bonds posted for the
release of aliens in ICE custody. Among
other things, ICE uses BMIS to calculate
and pay interest to obligors who post
cash immigration bonds. Under Internal
Revenue Service rules, interest
payments to certain obligors are subject
to backup withholdings where a
percentage of the payment is withheld
as tax and sent to the IRS. To begin to
implement the backup withholding
rules, ICE is modifying BMIS to collect

additional information about obligors to
determine whether a backup
withholding is required. Because ICE is
expanding the scope of information
collected and the purposes for which
BMIS information is being used, an
update to the BMIS PIA is required.
System: DHS/TSA/PIA–059 TSA
Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT)
Update.
Component: Transportation Security
Administration (TSA).
Date of approval: January 25, 2011.
TSA has deployed AIT, including
backscatter x-ray and millimeter wave
devices, for operational use to detect
threat objects carried on persons
entering airport sterile areas. AIT creates
an image of the full body that highlights
objects that are on the body. To mitigate
the privacy risk associated with creating
an image of the individual’s body, TSA
isolates the TSA officer (the image
operator) viewing the image from the
TSA officer interacting with the
individual. TSA does not store any
personally identifiable information from
AIT screening. A PIA on the pilot was
published on January 2, 2008, updated
on October 17, 2008 and updated again
on July 23, 2009 as program
developments warranted.
TSA plans to test, and implement as
appropriate, Automatic Target
Recognition software for AIT machines
that display anomalies on a generic
figure, as opposed to displaying the
image of a specific individual’s body.
Since the technology uses a generic
image that provides greater privacy
protections for the individual being
screened, systems using Automatic
Target Recognition will not isolate the
operator viewing the image from the
individual being screened. Individuals
will continue to be given the option of
undergoing a physical screening as an
alternative to AIT screening.
System: DHS/USCIS/PIA–034 H–1B
Visa Cap Registration Notice of
Proposed Rule Making (NPRM).
Component: U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS).
Date of approval: January 28, 2011.
USCIS is proposing to amend its
regulation governing petitions by U.S.
employers seeking H–1B nonimmigrant
worker status for aliens subject to
annual numerical limitations or exempt
from numerical limitations by having
earned a U.S. master’s or higher degree
(also referred to as the ‘‘65,000 cap’’ and
‘‘20,000 cap’’ respectively, or the ‘‘cap’’
collectively). Under the proposed rule,
USCIS would establish H–1B Cap
Registration, a mandatory registration
process, to streamline the
administration of H–1B petitions filed
by employers. This PIA is being

PO 00000

conducted because the H–1B Cap
Registration NPRM proposes a change to
USCIS’ collection of PII.
System: DHS/OPS/PIA–009 National
Operations Center (NOC) Tracker and
Senior Watch Officer Logs.
Component: Office of Operations
Coordination and Planning (OPS).
Date of approval: February 3, 2011.
NOC in the Office of Operations
Coordination and Planning (OPS)
operates the NOC Tracker Log and the
Senior Watch Officer (SWO) Log. The
SWO Log is a synopsis of all significant
information received and actions taken
during a shift by the SWO. The NOC
Tracker Log is a repository of all NOC
responses to threats or incidents and
significant activities that require a NOC
tracking number. OPS has conducted
this PIA because both the SWO Log and
NOC Tracker Log may contain PII
associated with an administrative note
or a watch desk Request for Information.
System: DHS/USCIS/PIA–035 Migrant
Information Tracking System.
Component: U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS).
Date of approval: February 3, 2011.
USCIS developed the Migrant
Information Tracking System (MITS) to
serve as a centralized repository for
information relating to migrants
interdicted at sea. MITS facilitates
USCIS’ ability to record and track
information pertaining to a migrant’s
illicit maritime migration into the
United States and respond to
information requests regarding
interdicted migrants from Members of
Congress inquiring on behalf of a family
member of the migrant. USCIS
conducted this PIA because MITS
collects, uses, and disseminates PII.
System: DHS/ALL/PIA–034 Medical
Credentials Management System.
Component: Office of Health Affairs
(OHA).
Date of approval: February 10, 2011.
DHS Office of Health Affairs (OHA) is
instituting a centralized medical
credentialing system for DHS employees
that provide health care services as part
of their job and the Components’
mission or incidental to their ongoing
operations. The purpose of the program
is to formalize a process for verifying
DHS employee and/or applicant
qualifications, licensure information,
and relevant health care provider data.
In accordance with the DHS Directive
248–01, Medical Quality Management,
the Assistant Secretary for Health
Affairs and Chief Medical Officer
(ASHA/CMO) is responsible for
developing a centralized credentials
management system for approving
credentials for DHS employee medical
care providers. The credentialing

process will include the collection of
and maintenance of information related
to professional education, state license
number(s), national registry
certification, board certification,
training and other pertinent information
related to medical care practices. OHA
conducted this PIA because the medical
credentials management system will
collect and maintain PII on DHS
medical care providers.
System: DHS/USCG/PIA–015
Merchant Mariner Licensing and
Documentation System (MMLD).
Component: United States Coast
Guard.
Date of approval: March 1, 2011.
USCG owns and operates the MMLD
System. The USCG uses MMLD to
manage the issuance of credentials to
Merchant Mariners and process
merchant mariner applications; to
produce merchant mariner credentials;
to track the who of merchant mariner
credentials issued by the USCG; to track
the status of merchant mariners with
respect to service, training, credentials,
and qualifications, related to the
operation of commercial vessels; to
qualify merchant mariners for benefits
and services administered by other
agencies; and to perform merchant
mariner call-ups related to national
security. The records include the
credential, background check, and
medical status on each U.S. Mariner and
World War II Merchant Mariner
Veteran. USCG has conducted this PIA
because MMLD collects and uses PII.
System: DHS/S&T/PIA–021 Cell All
Demonstration.
Component: Science and Technology
(S&T).
Date of approval: March 2, 2011.
The Cell All project is a research,
development, testing and evaluation
effort funded by the Homeland Security
Advanced Research Projects Agency in
the DHS S&T Directorate. Cell All is an
environmental surveillance system that
uses a typical cell phone as a platform
for a sensor system to detect harmful
chemical substances and transmit
critical information, including location
data, to first responder and other related
monitoring agencies. With the sensors
suite developed and fitted on a cell
phone, S&T will conduct a
demonstration of the prototype system
using research-owned devices. While no
PII will be collected during the
demonstration, S&T is conducting a PIA
to address the privacy impact of the
transmission of location data using the
prototype.
System: DHS/ALL/PIA–035 Nebraska
Avenue Complex CCTV System.
Component: Management.
Date of approval: March 2, 2011.

VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 223001

The DHS, Office of the Chief Security
Officer (OCSO), Physical Access
Security Division (PHYSD) operates the
Physical Access Control System (PACS).
PACS is designed to coordinate access
control, intrusion detection, and video
surveillance at DHS Headquarters (HQ)
facilities in the National Capital Region
(NCR), primarily the Nebraska Avenue
Complex (NAC). This PIA will focus
exclusively on the video surveillance
function within PACS known as the
Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV)
system at the NAC. The OCSO has
conducted this PIA to analyze PII that
the video surveillance function within
PACS collects, uses, and maintains.
The NAC CCTV system is a videoonly recording system installed at NAC.
The NAC CCTV system does not have
audio recording capability. The purpose
of the system is to enable OCSO PHYSD
and its Force Protection Branch
personnel, including security guards,
the ability to obtain current state visual
information as well as information on or
related to a security-related incident
that is happening or has happened and
to deter criminal activities.
System: DHS/USCIS/PIA–036 E–
Verify Self Check Service.
Component: USCIS.
Date of approval: March 3, 2011.
USCIS Verification Division has
developed a new service called E–Verify
Self Check. The E–Verify Self Check
service is voluntary and available to any
individual who wants to check his own
work authorization status prior to
employment and facilitate correction of
potential errors in federal databases that
provide inputs into the E–Verify
process. When an individual uses the E–
Verify Self Check service he will be
notified that either (1) his information
matched the information contained in
federal databases and would be deemed
work-authorized, or (2) his information
was not matched to information
contained in federal databases which
would be considered a ‘‘mismatch.’’ If
the information was a mismatch, he will
be given instructions on where and how
to correct his records. USCIS conducted
this PIA because E–Verify Self Check
will collect and use PII.
System: DHS/ALL/PIA–036 DHSwide Use of Unidirectional Social
Media Applications Communications
and Outreach.
Component: DHS Wide.
Date of approval: March 8, 2011.
Unidirectional social media
applications encompass a range of
applications, often referred to as applets
or widgets that allow users to view
relevant, real-time content from
predetermined sources. DHS or
Department intends to use

PO 00000

Frm 00052

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

30953

unidirectional social media tools
including desktop widgets, mobile apps,
podcasts, audio and video streams,
Short Message Service texting, and
Really Simple Syndication feeds, among
others, for external relations
(communications and outreach) and to
disseminate timely content to the public
about DHS initiatives, public safety, and
other official activities and one-way
notifications. These dynamic
communication tools broaden the
Department’s ability to disseminate
content and provide the public multiple
channels to receive and view content.
The public will continue to have the
option of obtaining comparable content
and services through the Department’s
official Web sites and other official
means. This PIA analyzes the
Department’s use of unidirectional
social media applications. This PIA
does not cover users sending content to
the Department. Additionally, this PIA
will describe the PII and the extremely
limited circumstances under which the
Department will have access to PII, how
it will use the PII, what PII is retained
and shared, and how individuals can
gain access to their PII. Appendix A of
this PIA will serve as a listing, to be
updated periodically, of DHS
unidirectional social media
applications, approved by the Chief
Privacy Officer, that follow the
requirements and analytical
understanding outlined in this PIA. The
unidirectional social media applications
listed in Appendix A are subject to
Privacy Compliance Reviews by the
DHS Privacy Office.
System: DHS/ALL/PIA–037
SharePoint.
Component: DHS Wide.
Date of approval: March 22, 2011.
DHS is developing SharePoint as a
Service (SharePoint), which will be an
enterprise offering available to all
organizations within the Department.
This platform will serve as an enterprise
collaboration and communication
solution, eliminating additional
investments in duplicative collaborative
technologies, leveraging economies of
scale, and connecting separate
organizations through the use of the
same platform in an integrated
environment. DHS is conducting this
PIA because PII may be collected and
stored in the SharePoint environment.
This PIA sets out the minimum standard
for SharePoint privacy and security
requirements; DHS components may
build more detailed controls and
technical enhancements into their
respective sites.
System: DHS/ALL/PIA038 Integrated
Security Management System (ISMS).
Component: Office of Security.

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 103 / Friday, May 27, 2011 / Notices

Date of approval: March 23, 2011.
ISMS is a web-based case
management tool designed to support
the lifecycle of DHS personnel security,
administrative security, and classified
visit management programs. Classified
visit management is an administrative
process in which an individual’s
security clearance information is
exchanged between agencies to
document an individual’s security
clearance level. Personnel security
records maintained in ISMS include
suitability and security clearance
investigations which contain
information related to background
checks, investigations, and access
determinations. For administrative
security and classified visit management
ISMS contains records associated with
security container/document tracking,
classified contract administration, and
incoming and outgoing classified visitor
tracking. The system is a DHS
enterprise-wide application that
replaces the Personnel Security
Activities Management System, which
was decommissioned on May 31, 2010.
System: DHS/ICE/PIA–026 Federal
Financial Management System (FFMS).
Component: ICE.
Date of approval: March 23, 2011.
FFMS is a web-based, workflow
management and financial transaction
system that provides core financial
management functions for ICE and five
other components within DHS: USCIS,
S&T, the National Protection Programs
Directorate (NPPD), Office of Health
Affairs (OHA), and DHS Office of
Management (MGMT). FFMS is used to
create and maintain a record of each
allocation, commitment, obligation,
travel advance and accounts receivable
issued. The system contains personally
identifiable information (PII) about DHS
employees, contractors/vendors,
customers and members of the public
that participate in DHS programs. ICE is
conducting this PIA because FFMS
collects and maintains PII. This PIA
focuses on ICE’s collection and use of
PII, and each component will publish
appendices to this PIA as required to
describe their collection and use of PII
in FFMS.
System: DHS/ICE/PIA–027 ICE
Subpoena System.
Component: ICE.
Date of approval: March 29, 2011.
The ICE Subpoena System (ISS) is
owned and operated by the Office of
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI)
within U.S. ICE, a component of the
DHS. ISS automates the process of
generating, logging, and tracking
subpoenas and summonses that ICE
issues in furtherance of its
investigations into violations of customs

and immigration laws. It also supports
the generation of Form I–9 notices,
which notify employers that ICE intends
to inspect their records to determine if
they have completed the required
employment eligibility forms for their
employees. ICE is conducting this PIA
because ISS contains PII about the
individuals to whom these subpoenas,
summonses, and notices are directed as
well as the individuals who are the
subjects of these legal process
documents.
System: DHS/MGMT/PIA–005
Foreign National Visitor Management
System (FNVMS).
Component: Office of Security.
Date of approval: March 30, 2011.
FNVMS, a module hosted on the DHS
ISMS information technology platform,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background and Purpose
Section 70110 of title 46, United
States Code, enacted as part of section
102(a) of the Maritime Transportation
Security Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107–295,
Nov. 25, 2002) authorizes the Secretary
of Homeland Security to impose
conditions of entry on vessels
requesting entry into the United States
arriving from ports that are not
maintaining effective anti-terrorism
measures. It also requires public notice
of the ineffective anti-terrorism
measures. The Secretary has delegated
to the Coast Guard authority to carry out
the provisions of this section. See
Department of Homeland Security
Delegation No. 0170.1, sec. 97. Previous
notices have imposed or removed
conditions of entry on vessels arriving
from certain countries, and those
conditions of entry and the countries
they pertain to remain in effect unless
modified by this notice.
The Coast Guard has determined that
ports in the Union of the Comoros and
the Republic of Cote d’Ivoire are not
maintaining effective anti-terrorism
measures. To make these
determinations, the Coast Guard
International Port Security (IPS)
Program conducted an initial visit to the
Union of the Comoros in November
2009, and conducted an initial visit to
the Republic of Cote d’Ivoire in January
2010. In our investigations of both
countries, significant deficiencies were
found in the legal regime, designated
authority oversight, access control, and
cargo control. In September 2010, the
Deputy Commandant for Operations
made findings that effective antiterrorism measures were not in place in
the ports of Comoros and Cote d’Ivoire.
Inclusive to these determinations is an
assessment that the Union of the
