records relating to an investigation of a
security incident that occurred during
passenger or property screening would
be covered by this system. DHS is
updating this system of records notice to
cover records relating to the TSA Insider
Threat program, modify the category of
individuals and category of records,
reflect an approved records retention
schedule for records covered by this
system, and modify two existing routine
uses. Additionally, this notice includes
non-substantive changes to simplify the
formatting and text of the previously
published notice. The existing Privacy
Act exemptions for this system of
records will continue to apply.
This modified system will be
included in DHS’s inventory of record
systems.
DATES: Submit comments on or before
September 27, 2018. This modified
system will be effective upon
publication. New or modified routine
uses for this modified system of records

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
In accordance with the Privacy Act of
1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, DHS/TSA proposes
to modify and reissue a current DHS
system of records notice (SORN) titled,
‘‘DHS/TSA–001 Transportation Security

PO 00000

Frm 00047

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

Enforcement Record System System of
Records.’’
This modification more clearly
identifies that this SORN contains
records relating to the TSA Insider
Threat program. In furtherance of TSA’s
responsibility for security in all modes
of transportation and to ensure the
adequacy of security measures at
airports and other transportation
facilities pursuant to its establishing
legislation, the Aviation and
Transportation Security Act (ATSA),
Public Law 107–71, 49 U.S.C. 114(d)
and (f), provides authority for TSA to
establish its Insider Threat program in
order to deter, detect, and mitigate
insider threats to TSA’s personnel,
operations, information, critical
infrastructure, and transportation
sectors subject to TSA authorities. For
purposes of this TSA system of records,
‘‘insider threats’’ are, or present
themselves to be, current or former
transportation sector workers (including
both TSA and private sector personnel)
and individuals employed or otherwise
engaged in providing services requiring
authorized access to transportation
facilities, assets, or infrastructure who
intend to cause harm to the
transportation domain.
This system of records is being
modified to: Cover records relating to
the TSA’s Insider Threat program;
include a new category of individuals
and category of records; reflect an
approved records retention schedules
for records covered by this system; and
change existing routine uses. The
category of individuals covered under
this SORN will be modified to reflect
that the system may contain information
on both current and former owners,
operators, and employees in all modes
of transportation for which DHS/TSA
has security-related duties; and will also
cover individuals who have access to
Sensitive Security Information (SSI) and
are ‘‘covered persons’’ under the
Sensitive Security Information
regulation, 49 CFR part 1520.7. The
category of records in this SORN will be
modified to include place of birth;
Government-issued identification;
citizenship; results of any law
enforcement, criminal history record, or
open source checks; employment
information and work history; and
security and access clearances and
background investigation information.
This SORN also reflects that the
applicable records retention schedules
are approved by the National Archives
and Records Administration (NARA).
This SORN modifies routine uses ‘‘E’’
and ‘‘F’’ to be in conformity with Office
of Management and Budget
Memorandum M–17–12. This SORN

E:\FR\FM\28AUN1.SGM

28AUN1

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 167 / Tuesday, August 28, 2018 / Notices
also combines two previous routines
uses into one routine use ‘‘K’’ regarding
the sharing of information relevant and
necessary to a requesting agency’s
decision concerning the hiring or
retention of an individual or issuance of
a credential or clearance. Additionally,
this notice includes non-substantive
changes to simplify the formatting and
text of the previously published notice.
Consistent with DHS’s information
sharing mission, information covered by
DHS/TSA–001 Transportation Security
Enforcement Record System 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, TSA may share information
with appropriate Federal, State, local,
tribal, territorial, foreign, or
international government agencies
consistent with any applicable laws,
rules, regulations, and information
sharing and access agreements or
arrangements, and as permitted
pursuant to an applicable Privacy Act
authorized disclosure, including routine
uses set forth in this system of records
notice.
As stated above, this modified system
of records will rely on an existing rule
for exempting TSA from certain
provisions of the Privacy Act pursuant
to 5 U.S.C. secs. 552a(j)(2), (k)(1), and
(k)(2). These exemptions are reflected in
the final rule published on August 4,
2006, in 71 FR 44223. 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,

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF
RECORDS:

DHS/TSA 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/TSA retrieves records by name,
address, Social Security number,
administrative action or legal
enforcement numbers, or other assigned
identifier of the individual on whom the
records are maintained.
POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND
DISPOSAL OF RECORDS:

Retention and disposal varies
depending on the type of record.
Passenger, baggage, and cargo screening
incident reports that are not referred for
investigation are maintained for three
years from the end of the fiscal year in
which they were created, in accordance
with NARA authority, N1–560–12–002.
Security incident reports are cut off at
the end of involvement and destroyed
four years after cut-off (N1–560–03–6).
Items that are referred for investigation
within TSA or to an outside agency are
destroyed 25 years after the case is
closed (N1–560–03–6). Insider Threat
information and inquiry records are
destroyed no sooner than five years after
an inquiry is opened and 25 years after

PO 00000

Frm 00050

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

43891

a case is closed, in accordance with
NARA authority DAA–GRS–2017–0006.
ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL
SAFEGUARDS:

DHS/TSA safeguards records in this
system according to applicable rules
and policies, including all applicable
DHS automated systems security and
access policies. TSA 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:

The Secretary of Homeland Security
has exempted this system from the
notification, access, and amendment
procedures of the Privacy Act, and the
Judicial Redress Act if applicable,
because it is a law enforcement system.
However, DHS/TSA will consider
individual requests to determine
whether or not information may be
released. Thus, 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 the TSA Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) Officer, whose
contact information can be found at
http://www.dhs.gov/foia under
‘‘Contacts 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 FOIA 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 FOIA.
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 your identity, meaning that the
individual must provide his/her full
name, current address, and date and
place of birth. The individual must sign
his/her 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

E:\FR\FM\28AUN1.SGM

28AUN1

43892

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 167 / Tuesday, August 28, 2018 / Notices

forms for this purpose from the Chief
Privacy Officer and Chief FOIA 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 on
him/her;
• Identify which component(s) of the
Department the individual believes may
have the information about him/her;
• 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 first individual must
include a statement from the second
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 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
