3), and dengue type 4 virus (DENV–4)
are most important in terms of human
morbidity and geographic distribution.
Dengue viruses cause dengue outbreaks
and major epidemics in most tropical
and subtropical areas where Aedes
albopictus and Aedes aegypti
mosquitoes are abundant.
A safe and effective vaccine against
dengue is currently not available.
Passive immunization with monoclonal
antibodies from non-human primates or
humans represents a possible alternative
to vaccines for prevention of illness
caused by dengue virus. This invention
claims fully human monoclonal
antibodies that bind and neutralize
dengue type 1, 2, 3 and 4 viruses. It also
claims fragments of such antibodies and
nucleic acids encoding the antibodies of
the invention as well as prophylactic,
therapeutic and diagnostic methods
employing the antibodies and nucleic
acids of the invention.
Potential Commercial Applications:
• Prophylaxis/therapy against dengue
serotypes 1, 2, 3, and 4.
• Dengue diagnostics.
Competitive Advantages:
• Antibodies are cross-reactive with
all four serotypes of dengue.
• Antibodies are fully human.

Typhoid-Plague Bivalent Vaccine
Description of Technology: Yersinia
pestis (Y. pestis) bacteria is the
causative agent of plague, typically
transmitted from animals to humans by
the bite of an infected flea. Y. pestis
infection of the lungs leads to
pneumonic plague, which is highly
contagious and generally fatal. Y. pestis
is a potential bioterrorist threat agent for
which no vaccine yet exists.

Jkt 229001

This invention claims the generation
and development of a candidate oral
vaccine against plague. The vaccine
consists of a synthetic gene construct
that expresses a Y. pestis F1–V fusion
antigen linked to a secretion signal,
resulting in the production of large
amounts of the F1–V antigen. The F1–
V synthetic gene fusion is housed
within Ty21a, an attenuated typhoid
fever strain that is licensed for human
use as a live oral bacterial vaccine.
Ty21a serves as a carrier to deliver the
F1–V fusion antigens of the plague
bacteria; the combined F1–V fusion in
the Ty21a carrier has been shown to
stimulate a robust immune response in
mice. The possibility of combining the
oral plague vaccine of this invention
with FDA’s candidate oral anthrax
vaccine exists and would result in an
easy-to-administer oral delivery system
to streamline administration of the
vaccine to large numbers of recipients in
emergency situations.
Potential Commercial Applications:
Plague vaccines, therapeutics and
diagnostics.
Competitive Advantages:
• Vector is well-characterized.
• Simple manufacturing process.
• Potential low-cost vaccine.
Development Stage:
• Pre-clinical.
• In vitro data available.
• In vivo data available (animal).

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 current DHS
system of records titled, ‘‘DHS/CBP–002
Global Enrollment System (GES).’’
Global Entry (GE) is the DHS/CBP
program that enables CBP to expedite
the inspection and security process for
lower risk travelers and allows more
scrutiny for those travelers who present
an unknown risk. GE, previously a pilot
program, is now a permanent trusted
traveler program (77 FR 5681 (Feb. 6,
2012)). Under GE, expedited processing
into the United States and certain
foreign countries will be expanded
through a growing number of
participating U.S. and foreign
international airports and foreign
partnerships. Through such
partnerships, U.S. citizens and citizens
of certain foreign countries will be able
to apply for expedited processing at
their respective airports.
CBP has signed a number of joint
statements with foreign partners that
provide the basic framework for
allowing U.S. citizens and citizens of
the applicable foreign countries to apply
for expedited processing at their
respective airports. The general purpose
of the joint statement is to offer
expedited processing to U.S. citizens

VerDate Mar<15>2010

17:01 Jan 15, 2013

Jkt 229001

and the citizens of the foreign country
that is party to that joint statement,
based on a mutually determined set of
vetting criteria and standards. CBP
continues to work with government
border authorities in various countries
to create this growing international
network in which, once individuals are
screened and deemed trusted by the
authorities in their own country, the
other country in the alliance will accept
them in their respective national trusted
traveler programs.
Depending on the nature of the
agreement with the foreign partner,
DHS/CBP will maintain and share
different personally identifiable
information. In certain instances the
joint statements commit to allowing
citizens of foreign countries to apply for
GE after the appropriate
Interconnectivity Service Agreement
(ISA) has been implemented. In other
instances, the joint statements commit
to sharing information about citizens
who apply to be members of both
countries’ trusted traveler program after
the appropriate ISA has been
implemented. As part of the procedures
for implementing a joint statement and
adding foreign partners to GE, CBP and
each foreign partner are executing
parallel protocols that incorporate
privacy protections. A more in-depth
discussion of the arrangements by
country is made available in DHS/CBP/
PIA—002(b) GES Privacy Impact
Assessment and Appendix A ‘‘CBP
Global Entry Expansion: Joint
Statements,’’ which is being published
in conjunction with this system of
records and will be updated with
relevant information.
In addition to new foreign partners,
CBP has consolidated the registered
traveler programs under GES to include
the Small Vessel Reporting System
(SVRS) and the Decal and Transponder
Online Procurement System (DTOPS).
SVRS, as an enhancement to the Local
Boater Option (LBO) pilot program,
allows individuals with advance
submission and CBP approval of float
plans to use a designated telephone line
to notify a CBP officer of their arrival to
the United States. DTOPS is a registered
traveler program that allows individuals
to purchase, renew, or transfer user fees
related to the transponders/Radio
Frequency Identification (RFID) tags for
their commercial vehicles or to the
decals for their private aircraft or vessels
in advance of crossing a U.S. border.
This system of records notice is being
re-published to update the categories of
records, authorities, purposes, routine
uses, retrievability, retention and
disposal, notification procedures, record
sources, and Privacy Act exemptions for

PO 00000

Frm 00053

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

this system of records. Specifically, DHS
is updating the category of records to
clarify that GES maintains limited law
enforcement information, consisting of
the case number references to law
enforcement databases used to support
or deny the membership decision for
GES trusted traveler programs, as well
as the membership decision for trusted
traveler programs with foreign partners.
These results were previously covered
by the DHS/CBP—011 TECS SORN (73
FR 77778 (Dec. 19, 2008.)) In cases
when the applicant has opted to share
information with a foreign government
trusted traveler program, DHS/CBP is
also retaining other foreign
governments’ decisions either to
approve or deny an application,
pursuant to the applicable joint
statements.
The authority for GES derives from
CBP’s mandate to secure the borders of
the United States, and to facilitate
legitimate trade and travel. The statutes
that permit and define GES include:
• Section 7208 of the Intelligence
Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of
2004 (IRTPA), as amended, 8 U.S.C.
1365b(k);
• Section 215 of the Immigration and
Nationality Act, as amended, 8 U.S.C.
1185;
• Section 402 of the Homeland
Security Act of 2002, as amended, 6
U.S.C. 202;
• Section 404 of the Enhanced Border
Security and Visa Reform Act of 2002,
8 U.S.C. 1753; and
• Section 433 of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1433.
The Regulations that permit and
define GES include Parts 103 and 235 of
Title 8 of the Code of Federal
Regulations. See, especially, 8 CFR
103.2, 103.7, 103.16, 235.1, 235.2, 235.7,
and 235.12. Pursuant to the
Independent Offices Appropriations Act
of 1952, 31 U.S.C. 9701, individuals
seeking to enroll in trusted traveler or
registered traveler programs must pay a
fee when they apply or renew their
membership. See 8 CFR
103.7(b)(1)(ii)(M).
The purposes of GES have been
simplified to reflect that this system
collects information, in advance, from
recurring travelers so that DHS and CBP
can assess applicants’ eligibility for
enrollment in a GES-supported trusted
traveler and registered traveler
programs.
DHS changed the order of routine
uses to be consistent with its practice
across all DHS SORNs and for ease of
use by DHS personnel. This change
affects the following uses, which were
not substantially changed: Former
routine use A is now routine use I;

E:\FR\FM\16JAN1.SGM

16JAN1

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 11 / Wednesday, January 16, 2013 / Notices
former routine use B is now routine use
G; former routine use C is now routine
use B; former routine use D is now
routine use C; former routine use E is
now routine use A; and former routine
use G is now routine use D.
This SORN update includes the
following substantive changes to routine
uses: In routine use F, the sentence has
been added, ‘‘Individuals provided
information under this routine use are
subject to the same Privacy Act
requirements and limitations on
disclosure as are applicable to DHS
officers and employees.’’ In routine use
G, reference to ‘‘organizations that are
lawfully engaged in collecting
intelligence [* * *] to carry out
intelligence responsibilities’’ has been
removed because of redundancy.
Routine use H has been added to
provide additional transparency on the
sharing with foreign governments for
trusted traveler programs and only at
the behest of the individual. Routine use
L has been added to allow the
Department to share information with
the public when the interests of the
public outweigh those of the individual
and only after approval by the DHS
Chief Privacy Officer in consultation
with counsel.
Sharing GES information with
partnering foreign countries is
consistent with the routine uses
proposed in this System of Records
Notice (SORN), which allows for
disclosure to foreign government
agencies to elicit information necessary
to make decisions on applications.
Pursuant to CBP’s reciprocal joint
statements, CBP will share biographic
GE application data and vetting results
in the form of a ‘‘pass/fail’’ transmission
of U.S. citizens with these foreign
governments only upon receiving the
same type of data from those
governments on their citizens who are
applying for expedited processing into
the United States. Because of these
international information sharing
relationships, CBP is able to make wellinformed decisions on GE applications
of citizens from a growing number of
countries.
The retrievability section has been
updated to reflect that records may be
retrieved by any of the personal
identifiers listed in the categories of
records.
The retention and disposal section
has been updated to reflect that all GES
data is retained for the duration of an
individual’s active membership plus
three years after an individual’s
membership is no longer active, either
as a result of expiration without renewal
at the end of a five-year term, as a result

VerDate Mar<15>2010

17:01 Jan 15, 2013

Jkt 229001

of abandonment, or as a result of CBP
termination.
The notification procedures section
has been updated to provide notice that
individuals may view and edit their
information through their online
accounts, as well as through the
standard procedures under the Freedom
of Information Act and Privacy Act.
The record source categories have
been updated to clarify the records
obtained from the individual and
background checks of external law
enforcement systems, as well as
providing notice that GES collects from
membership determinations about
trusted traveler applicants from
partnering foreign countries.
Participation in these programs is
entirely voluntary. Joint Statements
with foreign partners establish that each
country’s use of GES information for
vetting will be consistent with
applicable domestic laws and policies.
Participants should be aware that when
they submit their information to a
foreign country, or agree to share their
information with a foreign partner, the
foreign country uses, maintains, retains,
or disseminates their information in
accordance with that foreign country’s
laws and privacy protections.
Consistent with DHS’ information
sharing mission, information stored in
GES may be shared with other DHS
components whose personnel 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
consistent with the routine uses set
forth in this system of records notice.
DHS/CBP is simultaneously issuing a
notice of proposed rulemaking to
exempt portions of the DHS/CBP—002
GES SORN from the Privacy Act
requirements. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
552a(j)(2) of the Privacy Act, law
enforcement related records, including
the pointer information to other law
enforcement databases that support the
DHS/CBP membership decision, and the
law enforcement risk assessment
worksheet that have been created during
the background check and vetting
process, are exempt from 5 U.S.C.
552a(c)(3) and (4); (d); (e)(1), (e)(2),
(e)(3), (e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(H), (e)(4)(I), (e)(5)
and (e)(8); (f); and (g)(1). Pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 552a(k)(2), records created during
the background check and vetting
process are exempt from the following
provisions of the Privacy Act: 5 U.S.C.
552a(c)(3); (d); (e)(1), (e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(H),
(e)(4)(I); and (f). In addition, when a

PO 00000

Frm 00054

Fmt 4703

3443

record contains information from other
exempt systems of records, DHS/CBP
will claim the same exemptions for that
record as are claimed for the original
systems of records, and will claim any
additional exemptions that this notice
delineates.
CBP will not assert any exemptions
with regard to accessing or amending an
individual’s application data in a
trusted or registered traveler program
and/or final membership determination
in the trusted traveler programs.
However, this data may be shared with
law enforcement and/or intelligence
agencies pursuant to the routine uses
identified in the GES SORN. The
Privacy Act requires that DHS maintain
an accounting of such disclosures made
pursuant to all routine uses. Disclosing
the fact that a law enforcement and/or
intelligence agency has sought
particular records may affect ongoing
law enforcement activity. As such,
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) and
(k)(2), DHS will claim an exemption
from (c)(3), (e)(8), and (g)(1) of the
Privacy Act, as is necessary and
appropriate to protect this information.
This updated 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 governing the
means by which federal government
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. In the Privacy Act, an
individual is defined to encompass U.S.
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—002 Global Enrollment System
(GES).
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.

property interests, harm to an
individual, or harm to the security or
integrity of this system or other systems

DHS or another agency or entity) that
rely upon the compromised

reasonably necessary to assist in
connection with DHS’ efforts to respond
to the suspected or confirmed
compromise and prevent, minimize, or
remedy such harm.
F. To contractors and their agents,
grantees, experts, consultants, and
others performing or working on a
contract, service, grant, cooperative

disclosure as are applicable to DHS
officers and employees.
G. To an appropriate federal, state,
tribal, local, international, or foreign law
enforcement agency or other appropriate
authority charged with investigating or

protection of life, property, or other vital
interests of a person.
L. To the news media and the public,
with the approval of the Chief Privacy
Officer in consultation with counsel,
when there exists a legitimate public
interest in the disclosure of the
information or when disclosure is
necessary to preserve confidence in the
integrity of DHS or is necessary to
demonstrate the accountability of DHS’
officers, employees, or individuals
covered by the system, except to the
extent it is determined that release of
the specific information in the context
of a particular case would constitute an
unwarranted invasion of personal
privacy.

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE:

Individuals may gain access to
information on themselves in GES by
directly logging into GOES. Certain
information may be amended directly in
the system by the individual such as
contact information; however, other
information that was used to determine
eligibility, such as date of birth or
gender, may not be changed without
contacting DHS/CBP directly. The
Secretary of Homeland Security has
exempted portions of this system from
the notification, access, 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. 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 Headquarters or CBP
FOIA 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
Freedom of Information Act Officer,
Department of Homeland Security, 245
Murray Drive 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.
While no specific form is required, you
may obtain forms for this purpose from
the Chief Privacy Officer and Chief
Freedom of Information Act 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;

E:\FR\FM\16JAN1.SGM

16JAN1

3446

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 11 / Wednesday, January 16, 2013 / Notices

• 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; and
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, the
component(s) 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.
RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES:

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

See ‘‘Notification procedure’’ above.
RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES:

Records in GES are obtained from the
individual and from external law
enforcement systems. The main
database checked during the vetting
process, before individuals will be
enrolled in any trusted traveler program,
is TECS, which contains historical and
enforcement data on travelers, and
provides a gateway to other sources of
data. These other sources include the
Terrorist Screening Database, FBI
criminal history, and National Crime
and Information Center outstanding
wants/warrants, vehicle and driver’s
license-related data contained in the
International Justice and Public Safety
Network’s Nlets system, and
Department of State alien records,
lookouts, and status indicators. Vetting
results are also based on checks of the
FBI’s Integrated Automated Fingerprint
Identification System for criminal
history and IDENT for immigration
related records. Trusted traveler
applicants from partnering foreign
countries will have membership
determinations in GES from their home
country’s government.

EXEMPTIONS CLAIMED FOR THE SYSTEM:

The Secretary of Homeland Security,
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) has
exempted the law enforcement related
records, including the pointer
information to other law enforcement
databases that support the DHS/CBP
membership decision, and the law
enforcement risk assessment worksheet
that have been created during the
background check and vetting process,
from the following provisions of the
Privacy Act: 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3) and (4);
(d); (e)(1), (e)(2), (e)(3), (e)(4)(G),
(e)(4)(H), (e)(4)(I), (e)(5) and (e)(8); (f);

and (g)(1). Additionally, the Secretary of
Homeland Security, pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 552a(k)(2), has exempted records
created during the background check
and vetting process from the following
provisions of the Privacy Act: 5 U.S.C.
552a(c)(3); (d); (e)(1), (e)(4)(G),
(e)(4)(H),(e)(4)(I); and (f). In addition,
when a record contains information
from other exempt systems of records,
DHS/CBP will claim the same
exemptions for that record as are
claimed for the original systems of
records, and will claim any additional
exemptions that this notice delineates.
CBP will not assert any exemptions
with regard to accessing or amending an
individual’s application data in a
trusted or registered traveler program
and/or final membership determination
in the trusted traveler programs.
However, this data may be shared with
law enforcement and/or intelligence
agencies pursuant to the routine uses
identified in the GES SORN. The
Privacy Act requires DHS maintain an
accounting of such disclosures made
pursuant to all routine uses. Disclosing
the fact that a law enforcement and/or
intelligence agency has sought
particular records may affect ongoing
law enforcement activity. As such,
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a (j)(2) and
(k)(2), DHS will claim an exemption
from (c)(3), (e)(8), and (g)(1) of the
Privacy Act, as is necessary and
appropriate to protect this information.
Dated: December 31, 2012.
