Electronic Visa Update System (EVUS)
System of Records
Privacy Office, Department of

ACTION: Notice of Privacy Act System of
Records.
AGENCY:

In accordance with the
Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to
establish a new DHS system of records
titled, ‘‘Department of Homeland
Security/U.S. Customs and Border
Protection—DHS/CBP–022 Electronic
Visa Update System (EVUS) System of
Records.’’ At the same time, in
accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(j) and (k),
DHS proposes to claim certain
exemptions for this system. At the same
time, in accordance with Privacy Act of
1974, DHS proposes to claim certain
exemptions for this system. This system
of records will allow the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS)/U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) to collect
and maintain records on nonimmigrant
aliens who hold a passport that was
issued by an identified country
approved for inclusion in the EVUS
program and have been issued a U.S.
nonimmigrant visa of a designated
category seeking to travel to the United
States. The system of records will also
cover records of other persons,
including U.S. citizens and lawful
permanent residents, whose name is
provided to DHS as part of a
nonimmigrant alien’s EVUS enrollment.
Requiring aliens holding passports of
identified countries containing U.S.
nonimmigrant visas of a designated
category with multiple year validity will
allow DHS/CBP to collect updated

information. The system is used to
ensure a visa holder’s information
remains current. The information is also
used to separately determine whether
any admissibility issues may need to be
addressed outside the EVUS enrollment
process by vetting the information
against selected security and law
enforcement databases at DHS,
including the use of CBP’s TECS (not an
acronym) (DHS/CBP–011 U.S. Customs
and Border Protection TECS, December
19, 2008, 73 FR 77778) and the
Automated Targeting System (ATS)
(DHS/CBP–006 Automated Targeting
System, May 22, 2012, 77 FR 30297). In
addition, ATS retains a copy of EVUS
enrollment data to identify EVUS
enrollees who may pose a security risk
to the United States. The ATS maintains
copies of key elements of certain
databases in order to minimize the
impact of processing searches on the
operational systems and to act as a
backup for certain operational systems.
DHS may also vet EVUS enrollment
information against security and law
enforcement databases at other Federal
agencies to enhance DHS’s ability to
determine whether the enrollee poses a
security risk to the United States or,
although addressed through a separate
process, is admissible to the United
States. The results of this vetting may
inform DHS’s assessment of whether the
enrollee’s travel poses a law
enforcement or security risk and
whether the proposed travel should be
permitted.
This newly established system will be
included in the Department of
Homeland Security’s inventory of
record systems.
DATES: This system will be effective
October 3, 2016. Comments must be
received on or before October 3, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

I. Background
In accordance with the Privacy Act of
1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, DHS/CBP proposes
to establish a new DHS/CBP system of
records titled, ‘‘DHS/CBP–022
Electronic Visa Update System (EVUS)
System of Records.’’
DHS has developed a fully automated
electronic system that enables DHS to
collect biographic and other information
from certain nonimmigrant aliens on a
periodic basis as determined by the
Secretary. Specifically, EVUS enables
DHS to obtain information from
individuals who hold U.S.
nonimmigrant visas of a designated
category in a passport issued by an
identified country. By requiring
nonimmigrant aliens who hold a
passport issued by an identified country
containing a U.S. nonimmigrant visa of
a designated category to enroll in EVUS,
CBP will be able to collect periodic
updates of biographical and other
information over the length of the visa
period that would otherwise not be
obtained, which may assist in
identifying persons who may pose a risk
to the United States.
The Electronic Visa Update System is
a web-based system developed to collect
updated information from visa holders
subject to the EVUS program. The EVUS
does not change the process for
obtaining a visa. However, after
issuance of a visa, nonimmigrant aliens
subject to the EVUS requirements would
need to successfully enroll in EVUS
online every two years to ensure their
visa remains valid for travel to the
United States. The online enrollment
will be designed as a user-friendly
interface that would allow other persons
to assist the traveler in completing the
enrollment. Enrollees are able to submit
and update biographic information and
answer eligibility questions using the
EVUS Web site. Successful EVUS
enrollment is required for nonimmigrant
aliens who hold a passport issued by an
identified country containing a U.S.
nonimmigrant visa of a designated
category. In most cases, the enrollee will

60372

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 170 / Thursday, September 1, 2016 / Notices

obtain an immediate response
indicating whether the enrollment is
successful. The Electronic Visa Update
System enrollment and status must be
verified by a carrier prior to the traveler
boarding an air or sea carrier.
Notifications are sent between DHS/CBP
and carriers when the following events
occur:
• A traveler books travel
• The Airline/Carrier sends Advance
Passenger Information to DHS
• The Airline/Carrier receives one of
the following responses:
Æ EVUS on file—OK to board carrier
Æ No EVUS on file—Check for other
valid travel documents
Æ EVUS enrollment unsuccessful—Do
not allow to travel
Æ System Issues—Please resend
Among other functions, CBP vets the
EVUS enrollment information against
selected security and law enforcement
databases, including the use of TECS
and the Automated Targeting System
(ATS). The ATS will retain a copy of
EVUS enrollment data to identify EVUS
enrollees who may pose a security risk
to the United States. ATS will maintain
copies of key elements of certain
databases to minimize the impact of
processing searches on operational
systems and to act as a backup for
certain operational systems. DHS may
also vet EVUS enrollment information
against security and law enforcement
databases at other federal agencies to
enhance DHS’s ability to determine
whether the enrollee poses a security
risk to the United States. The results of
this vetting may support DHS’s initial
assessment of whether the enrollee’s
travel poses a law enforcement or
security risk and whether there may be
issues which may require separate
consideration. The individual must
attempt enrollment and receive a
notification of compliance prior to
boarding a carrier destined to the United
States. Furthermore, the EVUS system
will continuously query/vet enrollment
information against law enforcement
databases. EVUS status can change at
any time.
The data elements on the EVUS
enrollment questionnaire will make the
screening of travelers more robust. The
required data elements strengthen
security in the EVUS enrollment process
by enhancing the capability to identify
individuals who may pose a threat to
the United States or otherwise be found
inadmissible at the time that they apply
for entry at a U.S. port of entry.
Enrollment in EVUS will not guarantee
admission into the United States. CBP
will continue to employ standard entry
procedures to determine admissibility at
U.S. ports of entry.

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 238001

When a person submits an EVUS
enrollment, CBP examines the
enrollment questionnaire by screening
the enrollee’s data through ATS and
TECS. The initial and updated
biographic information obtained by
EVUS is important to identify any
concerns regarding future admissibility.
Failure to successfully enroll in EVUS
when required as described above will
result in the automatic provisional
revocation of the alien’s visa, and the
alien will not be authorized to travel to
the United States unless or until the
alien enrolls in EVUS and obtains a
notification of compliance. If a visa is
provisionally revoked on the basis of
failing to provide or update information
to EVUS, the person can attempt EVUS
enrollment again, and if successful the
provisional revocation of his/her visa
would be reversed. In addition, noncompliance with EVUS would be a basis
for commercial carriers to deny
boarding to an individual seeking to
travel to the United States. Because noncompliance with EVUS results in
automatic provisional revocation of the
individual’s visa, the individual would
not have valid travel documents upon
attempting to board.
DHS/CBP has authority to operate this
system under sec. 402(4) of the
Homeland Security Act of 2002, 6
U.S.C. 201, et seq., and sec. 103 (8
U.S.C. 1103), 214 (8 U.S.C. 1184), 215 (8
U.S.C. 1185), and 221 (8 U.S.C. 1201) of
the Immigration and Nationality Act
(INA), and 8 CFR part 2.
Consistent with DHS’s information
sharing mission, information stored in
EVUS 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.
Information stored in EVUS may also be
shared with other federal security and
counterterrorism agencies, as well as on
a case-by-case basis to appropriate State,
local, tribal, territorial, foreign, or
international government agencies. This
external sharing takes place after DHS
determines that it is compatible with the
routine uses set forth in this system of
records notice.
Additionally, for ongoing, systematic
sharing, DHS completes an information
sharing and access agreement with
federal partners to establish the terms
and conditions of the sharing,
including: documenting the need to
know, identifying authorized users and
uses, protecting the privacy of the data,
and ensuring the confidentiality of visa
records, as applicable. This updated
system will be included in DHS’s
inventory of systems of records, located

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.
Given the importance of providing
privacy protections to international
travelers, even prior to the collection of
the data elements in EVUS that may
include information about U.S. persons,
DHS always administratively applies
the privacy protections and safeguards
of the Privacy Act to all international
travelers subject to EVUS. The
Electronic Visa Update System falls
squarely within the mixed system
policy and DHS will continue to extend
the administrative protections of the
Privacy Act to information about
travelers and non-travelers whose
information is provided to DHS as part
of the EVUS enrollment.
Below is the description of the DHS/
CBP–022 Electronic Visa Update System
(EVUS) 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.

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:

Enrollment information submitted to
EVUS generally expires and is deemed
‘‘inactive’’ two years after the initial
submission of information by the
enrollee. In the event that a traveler’s
passport remains valid for less than two
years from the date of the EVUS
notification of compliance, the EVUS
enrollment will expire concurrently
with the passport. Information in EVUS
will be retained for one year after the
EVUS travel enrollment expires. After
this period, the inactive account
information will be purged from online
access and archived for 12 years. At any
time during the 15-year retention period
(generally 3 years active, 12 years
archived) CBP will match data linked to
active law enforcement lookout records
to enforcement activities, and/or
investigations or cases, including EVUS
enrollment attempts that are
unsuccessful, which will remain
accessible for the life of the law
enforcement activities to which they
may become related. NARA guidelines
for retention and archiving of data will
apply to EVUS and CBP continues to
negotiate with NARA for approval of the
EVUS data retention and archiving plan.
Records replicated on the unclassified
and classified networks will follow the
same retention schedule.
Payment information is not stored in
EVUS, but is forwarded to Pay.gov and
stored in CBP’s financial processing
system, CDCDS, pursuant to the DHS/
CBP–018, CDCDS system of records
notice.
When a traveler’s EVUS data is used
for purposes of processing his or her
application for admission to the United
States, the EVUS data will be used to
create a corresponding admission record
in the DHS/CBP–016 Non-Immigrant
Information System (NIIS) (March 13,
2015, 80 FR 13398). This corresponding
admission record will be retained in
accordance with the NIIS retention
schedule, which is 75 years.

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE:

Enrollees may access their EVUS
information to view and amend their
enrollment by providing their EVUS
number, birth date, and passport
number through the EVUS Web site.
Once they have provided their EVUS
number, birth date, and passport
number, enrollees may view their EVUS
status (successful enrollment,
unsuccessful enrollment, pending) and
submit limited updates to their travel
itinerary information. If an enrollee does
not know his or her enrollment number,
he or she can provide his or her name,
passport number, date of birth, passport
issuing country, and visa number to
retrieve his or her enrollment number.
In addition, EVUS enrollees and other
individuals whose information is
included on EVUS enrollment may
submit requests and receive information
maintained in this system as it relates to
data submitted by or on behalf of a
person who travels to the United States
and crosses the border, as well as, for
EVUS enrollees, the resulting
determination (successful enrollment,
pending, unsuccessful enrollment).
However, the Secretary of Homeland
Security has exempted portions of this
system from certain provisions of the
Privacy Act related to providing the
accounting of disclosures to individuals
because it is a law enforcement system.
CBP will, however, consider individual
requests to determine whether or not
information may be released. In
processing requests for access to
information in this system, CBP will
review not only the records in the
operational system but also the records
that were replicated on the unclassified
and classified networks, and based on
this notice provide appropriate access to
the information.
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 Chief Privacy
Officer and Headquarters Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) Officer, whose
contact information can be found at
http://www.dhs.gov/foia under ‘‘FOIA
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, 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

PO 00000

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;
• 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 or her
agreement for you to access his or 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.
