SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
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
update and reissue a DHS system of
records titled, ‘‘DHS/CBP–007 Border
Crossing Information (BCI) System of
Records.’’ DHS/CBP is updating this
system of records notice to provide
notice that BCI categories of records
include responses to immigration and
customs inspection questions collected
to facilitate the CBP inspection process
and to add a new routine use permitting
DHS/CBP to share information from this
system of records with external
organizations if the information is
relevant and necessary to a requesting
agency’s decision concerning the hiring
or retention of an individual, or
issuance of a security clearance, license,
contract, grant, or other benefit.
DHS/CBP’s priority mission is to
prevent terrorists and terrorist weapons
from entering the country while
facilitating legitimate travel and trade.
To further this mission, DHS/CBP
maintains BCI about all individuals who
enter, are admitted or paroled into, and
(when available) exit from the United
States regardless of method or
conveyance. BCI includes certain
biographic and biometric information;
photographs; certain responses to
inspection questions; certain mandatory
or voluntary itinerary information
provided by air, sea, bus, and rail
carriers or any other forms of passenger
transportation; and the time and
location of the border crossing. BCI
resides on the TECS (not an acronym)
information technology (IT) platform.
DHS/CBP is responsible for collecting
and reviewing BCI from travelers
entering and departing the United States
as part of DHS/CBP’s overall border
security and enforcement missions. All
individuals crossing the border are
subject to DHS/CBP inspection upon
arrival in the United States. Each
traveler entering the United States is
required to establish his or her identity,
nationality, and admissibility, as
applicable, to the satisfaction of a CBP
Officer during the inspection process.
To manage this process, DHS/CBP
creates a record of an individual’s

PO 00000

Frm 00067

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

admission or parole into the United
States at a particular time and port of
entry. DHS/CBP also collects
information about U.S. citizens and
certain aliens upon departure from the
United States for law enforcement
purposes and to document their border
crossing.
DHS is statutorily mandated to create
and integrate an automated entry and
exit system that records the arrival and
departure of aliens (8 U.S.C. 1365a),
verifies alien identities, and
authenticates alien travel documents
through the comparison of biometric
identifiers (8 U.S.C. 1365b). Certain
aliens may be required to provide
biometrics (including digital fingerprint
scans, palm prints, photographs, facial
and iris images, or other biometric
identifiers) upon arrival in or departure
from the United States. The biometric
data is stored in the Automated
Biometric Identification System (IDENT)
IT system. IDENT stores and processes
biometric data (e.g., digital fingerprints,
palm prints, photographs, and iris
scans) and links biometrics with
biographic information to establish and
verify identities. The IDENT system
serves as the biometric repository for
DHS and also stores related biographic
information.
Collection of additional biometric
information from individuals crossing
the border (such as information
regarding scars, marks, tattoos, and
palm prints) aids biometric sharing
between the Department of Justice (DOJ)
Integrated Automated Fingerprint
Identification System (IAFIS)/Next
Generation Identification (NGI) and the
IDENT system. The end result is
enhanced access to (and in some cases
acquisition of) IAFIS/NGI information
by the IDENT system and its users. DHS,
DOJ/FBI, and the Department of State
(DOS)/Bureau of Consular Affairs
entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) for Improved
Information Sharing Services in 2008.
The MOUs established the framework
for sharing information in accordance
with an agreed-upon technical solution
for expanded IDENT/IAFIS/NGI
interoperability, which provides access
to additional data for a greater number
of authorized users.
CBP collects border crossing
information stored in the BCI system of
records through a number of sources, for
example: (1) Travel documents (e.g., a
foreign passport) presented by an
individual at a CBP port of entry when
he or she provided no advance notice of
the border crossing to CBP; (2) carriers
that submit information in advance of
travel through the Advance Passenger
Information System (APIS) (see DHS/

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 239 / Tuesday, December 13, 2016 / Notices
CBP–005 Advance Passenger
Information System (APIS) SORN, 80 FR
13407, (March 13, 2015)); (3)
information stored in the Global
Enrollment System (GES) (see DHS/
CBP–002 Global Enrollment System
(GES) SORN, 78 FR 3441, (January 16,
2013)) as part of a trusted or registered
traveler program; (4) written or oral
responses to immigration and customs
inspection questions provided by
travelers to facilitate the inspection
process; (5) cameras posted in prescreening and screening areas that take
photos in support of the inspection
process; (6) non-federal governmental
authorities that issued valid travel
documents approved by the Secretary of
DHS (e.g., an Enhanced Driver’s License
(EDL)); (7) another federal agency that
issued a valid travel document (e.g.,
data from a DOS visa, passport
including passport card, or Border
Crossing Card); or (8) the Canada Border
Services Agency (CBSA) pursuant to the
Beyond the Border Entry/Exit Program.
When a traveler applies to enter, enters,
is admitted to, paroled into, or departs
from the United States, his or her
biographical information, photograph
(when available), and crossing details
(time and location) are maintained in
accordance with the DHS/CBP–007
Border Crossing Information SORN.
DHS/CBP is updating this system of
records notice, last published January
25, 2016 (81 FR 4040), to modify
categories of records to include
responses to certain CBP inspection
questions collected to facilitate the
inspection process and to add a new
routine use permitting DHS/CBP to
share information from this system of
records with external organizations if
the information is relevant and
necessary to a requesting agency’s
decision concerning the hiring or
retention of an individual, or issuance
of a security clearance, license, contract,
grant, or other benefit. DHS/CBP
collects traveler responses to certain
CBP inspection questions via the
Customs Declaration Form 6059B. This
form is stored by arrival date or flight
number at the various ports of entry.
DHS/CBP has now deployed the
Automated Passport Control Kiosk and
the Mobile Passport Control mobile
application, both of which permit
travelers to submit responses to certain
inspection-related questions
electronically. The responses are stored
by DHS/CBP and are now retrievable by
unique identifier, therefore warranting
an expansion of the BCI SORN to
include these responses although DHS/
CBP has collected responses to
inspection questions since inception.

VerDate Sep<11>2014

15:08 Dec 12, 2016

Jkt 241001

With this SORN update, DHS is also
adding a new Routine Use Q, which
permits DHS/CBP to share information
with an appropriate federal, state, local,
tribal, foreign, or international agency if
the information is relevant and
necessary to a requesting agency’s
decision concerning the hiring or
retention of an individual, or issuance
of a security clearance, license, contract,
grant, or other benefit, or if the
information is relevant and necessary to
a DHS decision concerning the hiring or
retention of an employee, the issuance
of a security clearance, the reporting of
an investigation of an employee, the
letting of a contract, or the issuance of
a license, grant or other benefit and
when disclosure is appropriate to the
proper performance of the official duties
of the person making the request. DHS/
CBP is adding this new routine use to
share certain border crossing
information with external organizations
in the course of employee or applicant
suitability screening (e.g., unreported
foreign travel for individuals who hold
sensitive security positions).
Consistent with DHS’s information
sharing mission, information stored in
the DHS/CBP–007 BCI SORN 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.
The exemptions for the existing
system of records notice published
January 25, 2016 (81 FR 4040), continue
to apply for this updated system of
records for those categories of records
listed in the previous System of Records
Notice. A Final Rule exempting portions
of this system from certain provisions of
the Privacy Act was published on March
21, 2016 (81 FR 14947), and remains in
effect. Furthermore, to the extent certain
categories of records are ingested from
other systems, the exemptions
applicable to the source systems will
remain in effect.
II. Privacy Act
The Privacy Act embodies fair
information practice principles in a
statutory framework governing the
means by which the Federal
Government collects, maintains, uses,
and disseminates 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. In the Privacy Act, an
individual is defined to encompass U.S.

PO 00000

Frm 00068

Fmt 4703

89959

citizens and lawful permanent
residents. As a matter of policy, DHS
extends administrative Privacy Act
protections to all individuals when
systems of records maintain information
on U.S. citizens, lawful permanent
residents, and visitors.
Below is the description of the DHS/
CBP–007 Border Crossing Information
(BCI) System of Records.
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r),
DHS has provided a report of this
system of records to the Office of
Management and Budget and to
Congress.

unwarranted invasion of personal
privacy.
DISCLOSURE TO CONSUMER REPORTING
AGENCIES:

None.
POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING,
RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND
DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
STORAGE:

DHS/CBP stores records in this
system electronically in the operational
IT system, including on DHS
unclassified and classified networks, or
on paper in secure facilities in a locked
drawer behind a locked door. The
records may be stored on magnetic disc,
tape, digital media, and CD–ROM.

SYSTEM MANAGER AND ADDRESS:

RETRIEVABILITY:

DHS/CBP retrieves records by name
or other personal identifiers listed in the
categories of records, above.

pmangrum on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES

SAFEGUARDS:

DHS/CBP safeguards records in this
system in accordance with applicable
rules and policies, including all
applicable DHS automated systems
security and access policies. Strict
controls are imposed to minimize the
risk of compromising the information
that is being stored. DHS/CBP limits
access to BCI to those individuals who
have a need to know the information for
the performance of their official duties
and who also have appropriate
clearances or permissions.
RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:

DHS/CBP is working with NARA to
develop the appropriate retention
schedule based on the information
below. For persons DHS/CBP
determines to be U.S. citizens and LPRs,

VerDate Sep<11>2014

information in BCI that is related to a
particular border crossing is maintained
for 15 years from the date when the
traveler entered, was admitted to or
paroled into, or departed the United
States, at which time it is deleted from
BCI. For non-immigrant aliens, the
information will be maintained for 75
years from the date of admission or
parole into or departure from the United
States in order to ensure that the
information related to a particular
border crossing is available for
providing any applicable benefits
related to immigration or for other law
enforcement purposes.
Information related to border
crossings prior to a change in status will
follow the 75 year retention period for
non-immigrant aliens who become U.S.
citizens or LPRs following a border
crossing that leads to the creation of a
record in BCI. All information regarding
border crossing by such persons
following their change in status will
follow the 15 year retention period
applicable to U.S. citizens and LPRs.
For all travelers, however, BCI records
linked to active law enforcement
lookout records, DHS/CBP matches to
enforcement activities, or investigations
or cases remain accessible for the life of
the primary records of the law
enforcement activities to which the BCI
records may relate, to the extent
retention for such purposes exceeds the
normal retention period for such data in
BCI.
Records replicated on the unclassified
and classified networks for analysis and
vetting will follow the same retention
schedule.

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE:

DHS/CBP allows persons (including
foreign nationals) to seek administrative
access under the Privacy Act to
information maintained in BCI.
However, the Secretary of DHS
exempted portions of this system from
the notification, access, and amendment
procedures of the Privacy Act because it
is a law enforcement system.
Nonetheless, DHS/CBP will consider
individual requests to determine
whether or not information may be
released. Thus, 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 DHS
Chief Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) Officer or CBP FOIA Officer,

PO 00000

Frm 00071

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

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 that concern him or
her, the individual may submit the
request to the Chief Privacy Officer and
Chief FOIA Officer, Department of
Homeland Security, 245 Murray Lane
SW., Building 410, STOP–0655,
Washington, DC 20528.
When seeking records about yourself
from this system of records or any other
Departmental system of records, your
request must conform with the Privacy
Act regulations set forth in 6 CFR part
5. You must first verify your identity,
meaning that you must provide your full
name, current address, and date and
place of birth. You must sign your
request and your signature must either
be notarized or submitted under 28
U.S.C. 1746, a law that permits
statements to be made under penalty of
perjury as a substitute for notarization.
Although no specific form is required,
you 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, you
should:
• Explain why you believe the
Department would have information on
you;
• Identify which Component(s) of the
Department you believe may have the
information about you;
• Specify when you believe 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 your request is seeking records
pertaining to another living individual,
you must include a statement from that
individual certifying his/her agreement
for you to access his/her records.
Without the above information, CBP
may not be able to conduct an effective
search, and your request may be denied
due to lack of specificity or lack of
compliance with applicable regulations.
In processing requests for access to
information in this system, CBP will
review the records in the operational
system and coordinate with DHS to
address access to records on the DHS
unclassified and classified networks.

ongoing law enforcement activities. The
Secretary of DHS, pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
552a(j)(2), exempted this system from
the following provisions of the Privacy
Act: Sections (c)(3), (e)(8), and (g) of the
Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, as is
necessary and appropriate to protect
this information. Further, DHS has
exempted sec. (c)(3) of the Privacy Act
of 1974, as amended, pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 552a(k)(2) as is necessary and
appropriate to protect this information.
Additionally, this system contains
records or information recompiled from
or created from information contained
in other systems of records that are
exempt from certain provision of the
Privacy Act. This system also contains
accountings of disclosures made with
respect to information maintained in the
system. For these records or information
only, in accordance with 5 U.S.C.
552a(j)(2) and (k)(2), DHS will also
claim the original exemptions for these
records or information from subsecs.

ACTION: 60-Day notice.
The Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) invites public
comment on a new Information
Collection Request (ICR) abstracted
below that we will submit to the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) for
approval in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). The
ICR describes the nature of the
information collection and its expected
burden. The collection involves
gathering information from individuals
who wish to adopt a TSA canine
through the TSA Canine Training Center
(CTC) Adoption Program.
DATES: Send your comments by
February 13, 2017.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be emailed
to [email protected] or delivered to
the TSA PRA Officer, Office of
Information Technology (OIT), TSA–11,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Christina A. Walsh at the above address,
or by telephone (571) 227–2062.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

Comments Invited
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.), an agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a valid OMB control
number. The ICR documentation is
available at http://www.reginfo.gov.
Therefore, in preparation for OMB
review and approval of the following
information collection, TSA is soliciting
comments to—
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed
information requirement 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;
(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 using

information technology.
Information Collection Requirement
Purpose
The TSA Canine Program is a
Congressionally-mandated program that
operates pursuant to section 110(e)(3) of
the Aviation and Transportation
Security Act (ATSA), Public Law 107–
71 (115 Stat. 597, Nov. 19, 2001); the
Homeland Security Act of 2002, Public
Law 107–296 (116 Stat. 2135, Nov. 25,
2002); and the Implementing
Recommendations of the 9/11
Commission Act of 2007, Public Law
110–53 (121 Stat. 266, Aug. 3, 2007).
The program is a partnership between
TSA; aviation, mass transit, and
maritime sectors; and State and local
law enforcement.
The TSA Canine Program developed
the TSA CTC to train and deploy
explosive detection canine teams to
local, State, and Federal agencies in
support of daily activities that protect
the transportation domain. Canine
teams consist of transportation security
inspectors, or local/state law
enforcement officers, paired with
explosives detection canines. These
canines are trained on a variety of
explosives based on intelligence data
and emerging threats. Canine teams are
deployed after successfully undergoing
a 10- or 12-week training program.
Approximately 83 percent of canines
graduate from the training program.
These canines are continually assessed
to ensure they demonstrate operational
proficiency in their environment.
Currently, the canine attrition rate is
between 15–18 percent. This arises from
canines who do not graduate from the
training program and those who
successfully graduate but are later
assessed as not performing at
operational proficiency. TSA CTC
typically repurposes 42 percent of the
canines eliminated from the program to
other Federal, State and local law
enforcement agencies; however, the
remainder may be placed for adoption.
TSA has created the TSA CTC Adoption
Program to find suitable individuals or
families to adopt the canines and to
provide good homes. Individuals
seeking to adopt a TSA canine must
complete the TSA CTC Adoption
Application.
Description of Data Collection
The TSA CTC Adoption Application
is an online application that collects
personal information from the public to
determine their suitability to adopt a
