the record source system exemptions
when relevant. All following routine
uses are being renumbered to account
for the additional routine uses.
Additionally, this notice includes nonsubstantive changes to simplify the
formatting and text of the previously
published notice.
E-Verify is an internet-based system
that allows enrolled participants to
electronically confirm the employment
eligibility of employees to work in the
United States. Participants collect
information from the Form I–9,
Employment Eligibility Verification,
completed by the employee, to query
against existing information accessed by
the Verification Information System
(VIS). VIS provides employment
authorization information to employers,
entities authorized by federal law to use
E-Verify, and to individuals seeking to
check employment eligibility under the
Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).
It may be used by DHS to support DHS
monitoring and compliance activities
aimed to prevent the commission of
fraud, discrimination, or other misuse or
abuse of E-Verify, or other violation of
law related to employment eligibility
verification. E-Verify, in particular,
monitors against violations of privacy
laws or other illegal activity related to

Jkt 247001

misuse of E-Verify, including for
example: (1) Investigating duplicate or
incomplete enrollments by employers;
(2) inappropriate enrollments by
individuals posing as employers; (3)
verifications that are not performed
within the required time limits; and (4)
cases referred by and between E-Verify
and the Department of Justice Immigrant
and Employee Rights Section (formerly
known as the Office of Special Counsel
for Immigration-Related Unfair
Employment Practices), or other
intelligence or law enforcement entities.
Additionally, the information in EVerify may be used for program
management and analysis, program
outreach, customer service, and
preventing or deterring further use of
stolen identities in E-Verify.
USCIS also provides services to
employees, job seekers, and employers
through a free Web-based service: myEVerify, which provides the following
resources:
• Resource Center: Information and
learning materials from the employee’s
perspective about the E-Verify and
employment eligibility verification
processes, including employee’s rights
and roles, privacy, as well as the
employer’s responsibilities.
• Case Tracker: Track the status of the
employee’s E-Verify case-in-progress
and advises whether any action is
required.
• myE-Verify personal accounts:
Allows employees to establish a secure
personal account to access additional
myE-Verify features. Account holders
have access to the following features:
Æ Self Lock: Protects the employee’s
identity by preventing unauthorized use
of his or her Social Security number
(SSN) in E-Verify. Self Lock allows the
employee to place a ‘‘lock’’ on his or her
SSN. This helps prevent anyone else
from using the employee’s SSN to try to
get a job with an E-Verify employer. The
Self Lock feature is only available to
myE-Verify account holders.
Æ Document Expiration Reminders:
When an employee presents a work
authorization document with an
expiration date, E-Verify will remind
the employer when the document is
about to expire. This case alert provides
a countdown of expiring work
authorization documents beginning 90
days before expiration and will show
the document as expired for 30 days
past expiration.
Æ Case History: Allows employees to
see where and when their information
has been used in E-Verify and Self
Check. The Case History feature is only
available to myE-Verify account holders.
Æ Self Check: Provides individuals
the ability to confirm their employment

eligibility. Self Check also provides a
service that permits individuals who
successfully complete a Self Check case
to establish a myE-Verify account. The
information collected to register and
maintain a myE-Verify account,
including information collected for eauthentication purposes, is covered by
DHS/ALL–037 E-Authentication System
of Records, previously published in the
Federal Register at 79 FR 46857 (August
11, 2014).
Consistent with DHS’s information
sharing mission, records covered by this
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. In
addition, DHS/USCIS may share
information 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.
USCIS reviews disclosures from this
System of Records for compliance with
Illegal Immigration Reform and
Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996
(IIRIRA) section 404(h).
This modified 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. Additionally, the Judicial
Redress Act (JRA) provides covered
persons with a statutory right to make
requests for access and amendment to
covered records, as defined by the JRA,
along with judicial review for denials of
such requests. In addition, the JRA
prohibits disclosures of covered records,
except as otherwise permitted by the
Privacy Act.
Below is the description of the DHS/
USCIS–011 E-Verify Program 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

The purpose of this system is to
provide employment authorization
information to employers, entities
authorized by federal law to participate
in E-Verify, and to individuals seeking
to check employment eligibility under
the Immigration and Nationality Act
(INA). This system also enables
individuals to access features
concerning the use of their personally
identifiable information (PII) in EVerify, such as the ability to lock their
Social Security number (SSN) to prevent
its use in E-Verify and Self Check. The
system may also be used by DHS to
support DHS monitoring and
compliance activities for obtaining
information in order to prevent the
commission of fraud, discrimination, or
other misuse or abuse of the E-Verify
system, including violations of privacy
laws or other illegal activity related to
misuse of E-Verify, including for
example: (1) Investigating duplicate or
incomplete enrollments by employers;
(2) inappropriate enrollments by
individuals posing as employers; (3)
verifications that are not performed
within the required time limits; and (4)
cases referred by and between E-Verify
and the Department of Justice Immigrant
and Employee Rights Section (formerly
known as the Office of Special Counsel
for Immigration-Related Unfair
Employment Practices), or other
intelligence or law enforcement entities.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF
RECORDS:

DHS/USCIS stores records in this
system electronically or on paper in
secure facilities in a locked drawer
behind a locked door. The records may
be stored on magnetic disc, tape, and
digital media.
POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF
RECORDS:

DHS/USCIS may retrieve records by
name, verification case number, ANumber, I–94 Number, Receipt number,

PO 00000

number and country of issuance,
Driver’s License, Permit, or State-Issued
Identification Card Number, or SSN of
the employee or employee user, or by
the submitting company name.
POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND
DISPOSAL OF RECORDS:

E-Verify records are covered by
NARA-approved records retention and
disposal schedule, N1–566–08–007.
USCIS stores and retains records

eligibility for ten (10) years from the
date of the completion of the last
transaction, unless the records are part
of an ongoing investigation in which
case they may be retained until
completion of the investigation. This
period is based on the statute of
limitations for most types of misuse or
fraud possible using E-Verify (under 18
U.S.C. 3291, the statute of limitations
for false statements or misuse regarding
passports, citizenship, or naturalization
documents).
ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL
SAFEGUARDS:

DHS/USCIS safeguards records in this
system according to applicable rules
and policies, including all applicable
DHS automated systems security and
access policies. USCIS has imposed
strict controls to minimize the risk of
compromising the information that is
being stored. Access to the computer
system containing the records in this
system is limited to those individuals
who have a need to know the
information for the performance of their
official duties and who have appropriate
clearances or permissions.
RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES:

Individuals seeking access to and
notification of any record contained in
this system of records, or seeking to
contest its content, may submit a
request in writing to the Chief Privacy
Officer and to the USCIS FOIA/Privacy
Act Officer whose contact information
can be found at http://www.dhs.gov/foia
under ‘‘Contact Information.’’ 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,
Washington, DC 20528–0655. Even if
neither the Privacy Act nor the Judicial
Redress Act provide a right of access,
certain records about you may be
available under the Freedom of
Information Act.

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 117 / Tuesday, June 18, 2019 / Notices

When an individual is seeking records
about himself or herself from this
system of records or any other
Departmental system of records, the
individual’s request must conform with
the Privacy Act regulations set forth in
6 CFR part 5. The individual must first
verify his/her identity, meaning that the
individual must provide his/her full
name, current address, and date and
place of birth. The individual must sign
the request, and the individual’s
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, an individual 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, the individual should:
• Explain why he or she believes the
Department would have information
being requested;
• Identify which component(s) of the
Department he or she believes may have
the information;
• Specify when the individual
believes 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 an individual’s request is seeking
records pertaining to another living
individual, the request must include an
authorization from the individual whose
record is being requested, authorizing
the release to the requester.
Without the above information, the
component(s) may not be able to
conduct an effective search, and the
individual’s request may be denied due
to lack of specificity or lack of
compliance with applicable regulations.

CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES:

For records covered by the Privacy
Act or covered JRA records, individuals
may make a request for amendment or
correction of a record of the Department
about the individual by writing directly
to the Department component that
maintains the record, unless the record
is not subject to amendment or
correction. The request should identify
each particular record in question, state
the amendment or correction desired,
and state why the individual believes
that the record is not accurate, relevant,
timely, or complete. The individual may
submit any documentation that would
be helpful. If the individual believes
that the same record is in more than one
system of records, the request should
state that and be addressed to each
