The Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) is updating and
reissuing an agency-wide system of
records under the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C.
552a) for DHS mailing and other lists.
These lists are used to facilitate mailings
to multiple addressees and other
activities in furtherance of DHS duties.
DHS and its components and offices use
the system to account for all persons
appearing on mailing lists collected and
maintained throughout DHS to facilitate
mailings to multiple addressees and
other activities in furtherance of DHS
duties.
In accordance with the Privacy Act of
1974, DHS is giving notice that it
proposes to update one record system
titled, DHS/ALL–002 Department of
Homeland Security Mailing and Other
Lists System (69 FR 70460 December 9,
2004). Categories of records have been
changed to reflect the removal of
emergency contact information which
has been moved to Emergency
Personnel Location System of Records
(73 FR 61888 October 17, 2008). The
routine uses of this system of records
have been changed to reflect the
addition of information sharing for
audits of the Department and it’s
components; for breach mitigation to
prevent the unauthorized use or
disclosure of information and to prepare
for privacy related incidents; with
Federal, State and local agencies related
to tracking and completion of training;

with the Department of Justice; with the
news media. This updated system will
be included in DHS’s inventory of
record systems.
II. Privacy Act
The Privacy Act embodies fair
information principles in a statutory
framework governing the means by
which the United States 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
for 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
United States citizens and legal
permanent residents. As a matter of
policy, DHS extends administrative
Privacy Act protections to all
individuals where systems of records
maintain information on U.S. citizens,
lawful permanent residents, and
visitors. Individuals may request access
to 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 each agency
to publish in the Federal Register a
description denoting 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 regarding the uses to which
their records are put, and to assist
individuals to more easily find such
files within the agency. Below is the
description of the DHS Mailing and
Other Lists System of Records.
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r),
DHS has provided a report of this
updated system of records to the Office
of Management and Budget and to
Congress.

confirmed compromise there is a risk of
harm to economic or property interests,

entity) or harm to the individual that
rely upon the compromised
