SUMMARY: In accordance with the
Privacy Act of 1974, and as part of the
Department of Homeland Security’s
ongoing effort to review and update
legacy system of record notices, the
Department of Homeland Security is
giving notice that it proposes to add a
system of records to its inventory of
record systems titled United States
Coast Guard Marine Information for
Safety and Law Enforcement System of
Records. This system is a compilation of
five legacy record systems: DOT/CG
679, Marine Information for Safety and
Law Enforcement System (April 22,
2002), DOT/CG 588, Marine Safety
Information System (April 11, 2000),
DOT/CG 505, Recreational Boating Law
Enforcement Case Files (April 11, 2000),
DOT/CG 590, Vessel Identification
System (April 11, 2000), DOT/CG 591,
Merchant Vessel Documentation System
(April 11, 2000). This record system will
allow the Department of Homeland
Security/United States Coast Guard to
collect and maintain records regarding
marine, safety and law enforcement
information. Categories of individuals,
categories of records, and routine uses
of these legacy system of records notices
have been consolidated and updated to
better reflect the United States Coast
Guard’s marine, safety and law
enforcement information. Additionally,
DHS is issuing a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (NPRM) concurrent with
this SORN elsewhere in the Federal
Register. The exemptions for the legacy
system of records notices will continue
to be applicable until the final rule for
this SORN has been completed. This
new system will be included in the
Department of Homeland Security’s
inventory of record systems.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted on or before July 27, 2009.
This new system will be effective July
27, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background
Pursuant to the savings clause in the
Homeland Security Act of 2002, Public
Law 107–296, Section 1512, 116 Stat.
2310 (Nov. 25, 2002), the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS)/United States
Coast Guard (USCG) have relied on
preexisting Privacy Act systems of
records notices for the collection and
maintenance of records regarding
marine, safety and law enforcement
information.
As part of its efforts to streamline and
consolidate its record systems, DHS is
updating and reissuing a USCG system
of records under the Privacy Act (5
U.S.C. 552a) that deals with marine
safety and law enforcement information.
This record system will allow DHS/
USCG to collect and maintain records
regarding marine safety and law
enforcement information. This record
system will allow the Department of
Homeland Security/United States Coast
Guard to collect and maintain records
regarding marine information and law
enforcement information.
In accordance with the Privacy Act of
1974, and as part of the Department of
Homeland Security’s ongoing effort to
review and update legacy system of
record notices, the Department of
Homeland Security is giving notice that
it proposes to add a system of records
to its inventory of record systems titled
United States Coast Guard Marine
Information System and Law
Enforcement System of Records. This

Vessel Identification System (65 FR
19475 April 11, 2000), DOT/CG 591,
Merchant Vessel Documentation System
(65 FR 19475 April 11, 2000). This
record system will allow the
Department of Homeland Security/
United States Coast Guard to collect and
maintain records regarding marine
safety, security, environmental
protection and law enforcement
information. Categories of individuals,
categories of records, and routine uses
of these legacy systems of records
notices have been consolidated and
updated to better reflect the United
States Coast Guard’s marine safety,
security, environmental protection and
law enforcement record systems.
Additionally, DHS is issuing a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)
concurrent with this SORN elsewhere in
the Federal Register. The exemptions
for the legacy system of records notices
will continue to be applicable until the
final rule for this SORN has been
completed. This new system will be

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 personally identifiable
information. 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 stored and retrieved by
the name of the individual or by some
identifying number such as property
address, mailing address, or symbol
assigned to the individual. In the
Privacy Act, an individual is defined to
encompass United States citizens and
legal permanent residents. DHS extends
administrative Privacy Act protections
to all individuals where information is
maintained on both U.S. citizens, lawful
permanent residents, and visitors.
Individuals may request 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.

VerDate Nov<24>2008

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 record keeping
practices transparent, to notify
individuals regarding the uses of their
records, and to assist individuals to
more easily find such files within the
agency. Below is the description of the
Marine Information for Safety and Law
Enforcement System of Records.
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r),
DHS has provided a report of this new

SAFEGUARDS:

Records in this system are
safeguarded in accordance with
applicable rules and policies, including
all applicable DHS automated and paper
systems security and access policies.
Strict controls have been imposed to
minimize the risk of compromising the
information that is being stored. Access
to the computer system and paper files
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.
RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:

Records are retained indefinitely
because the records schedules are
currently pending. A copy of this
system has been transferred to the
National Archives and Records
Administration permanent records
collection. The following records
schedule has been proposed:
A. Notifications associated with a
Case or Activity are considered
historically important and so are
maintained permanently by the National
Archives. USCG will transfer the
records to the National Archives at least
every five years after the close of a case
or activity. In some cases, information
may transferred prior to the five years.
B. Notifications not associated with a
Case or Activity are maintained for five
years and then destroyed or deleted.
Information collected by MISLE is
stored for a minimum of five years after
the record is created, after which the
information will be retained, archived
or destroyed in accordance with the
MISLE Records Schedule approved by
the National Archives and Records
Administration. All system hardware
and data is stored at OSC, Kearneysville,
WV. Backups are performed daily.
Copies of backups are stored at an offsite location.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the
Privacy Act of 1974 and as part of the
Department of Homeland Security’s
ongoing effort to review and update
legacy system of records notices, the
Department of Homeland Security is
giving notice that it proposes to update
and reissue the following legacy record
system DOT/CG 589 United States
Merchant Seamen’s Records, April 11,
2000, as a Department of Homeland
Security system of records notice titled
DHS/USCG—030 United States
Merchant Seamen’s Records. The
Department of Homeland Security uses
DHS/USCG—030 United States
Merchant Seamen’s Records to
administer the Commercial Vessel
Safety Program and to determine
domestic and international qualification
for the issuance of licenses, documents,
and staff officer certifications.
Categories of individuals, categories of
records, and the routine uses of this
legacy system of records notice have
been reviewed and updated to better
reflect the United States Merchant
Seamen’s Records system. Additionally,
DHS is issuing a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (NPRM) concurrent with
this SORN elsewhere in the Federal
Register. The exemptions for the legacy
system of records notices will continue
to be applicable until the final rule for
this SORN has been completed. This
new system will be included in the
Department of Homeland Security’s
inventory of record systems.
