Jkt 250001

ACTION:

Notice of new system of records.

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/ALL–043 Enterprise Biometric
Administrative Records (EBAR) System
of Records (SOR).’’ This system of
records allows the DHS to collect and
maintain administrative and technical
records associated with the enterprise
biometric system known as the
Automated Biometric Identification
System (IDENT) and its successor
information technology system,
currently in development, called the
Homeland Advanced Recognition
Technology (HART).
Additionally, DHS is issuing a Notice
of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to
exempt this system of records from
certain provisions of the Privacy Act,
elsewhere in the Federal Register. This
newly established system will be
included in the Department of
Homeland Security’s inventory of
record systems.
DATES: Submit comments on or before
April 10, 2020. This new system will be
effective upon publication, with the
exception of the routine uses, which
will become effective April 10, 2020.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by docket number DHS–
2019–0047 by one of the following
methods:
• Federal e-Rulemaking Portal: http://
www.regulations.gov. Follow the
instructions for submitting comments.
• Fax: 202–343–4010.
• Mail: Jonathan R. Cantor, Acting
Chief Privacy Officer, Privacy Office,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Background
In 2007, DHS published the DHS/US–
VISIT–001 DHS Automated Biometric

Identification System (IDENT), 72 FR
31080 (June 5, 2007) system of records
notice (SORN). The IDENT SORN
covered biometric holdings for the
entire Department. Since then, the
Department’s Privacy Act framework
and technology for enterprise biometrics
has evolved as the Department has
matured. DHS Component SORNs now
cover the collection, maintenance, and
use of the biometrics records collected
directly by each Component. The
Department, however, still published a
SORN to cover biometrics first collected
and received from non-DHS entities,
DHS/ALL–041 External Biometric
Records (EBR) SORN, 83 FR 17829
(April 24, 2018), which governs the
maintenance and use of biometrics and
associated biographic information
received from non-DHS entities. DHS is
establishing DHS/ALL–043 Enterprise
Biometric Administrative Records
(EBAR) to cover the administrative and
technical records associated with the
enterprise biometric system, known as
the Automated Biometric Identification
System (IDENT) and its successor
information technology system,
currently in development, called the
Homeland Advanced Recognition
Technology (HART). Together, the
EBAR SORN, EBR SORN, and the
underlying Component SORNs will
replace the IDENT and Technical
Reconciliation Analysis Classification
System (TRACS) SORNs. DHS will
rescind the IDENT and TRACS SORNs
by publishing a notice of rescindment in
the Federal Register, following
publication of this SORN.
The Office of Biometric Identity
Management (OBIM) maintains the
Department’s primary repository of
biometric information held by DHS in
connection with varied missions and
functions, including law enforcement;
national security; immigration
screening; border enforcement;
intelligence; national defense;
background investigations relating to
national security positions; and
credentialing consistent with applicable
DHS authorities.
The primary repository, currently
IDENT and its successor information
technology (IT) system, HART, is a
centralized and dynamic DHS-wide
biometric database that also contains
limited biographic and encounter
history information needed to place the
biometric information in proper context.
The information is collected by, on
behalf of, in support of, or in
cooperation with DHS and its
components and may contain personally
identifiable information collected by
Federal, State, local, tribal, foreign, or
international agencies, consistent with

any applicable laws, rules, regulations,
and information sharing and access
agreements or arrangements.
Component system SORNs and the
DHS/ALL–041 EBR SORN cover the
biometric data itself, but OBIM’s
biometric repository generates technical
and administrative information
necessary to carry out functions that are
not explicitly outlined in component
source-system SORNs. For example, to
more accurately identify individuals
and ensure that all encounters are
appropriately linked, IDENT and its
successor IT system, HART, will
generate, store, and retrieve data by
unique numbers or sequence of numbers
and characters. These unique numbers
or sequence of numbers and characters,
also known as enumerators, link
individuals with their encounters,
biometrics, records, and other data
elements. The EBAR SOR will be used
for OBIM analysis and reporting
functions in support of international
data sharing efforts, redress functions,
and the reporting and analysis functions
of OBIM.
Consistent with DHS’s mission,
information covered by DHS/ALL–043
EBAR may be shared with 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 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.
Additionally, DHS is issuing a NPRM
to exempt this system of records from
certain provisions of the Privacy Act
elsewhere in the Federal Register. This
newly established 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

VerDate Sep<11>2014

18:29 Mar 13, 2020

Jkt 250001

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/
ALL–043 Enterprise Biometrics
Administrative Records (EBAR) 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.

a risk of harm to individuals, DHS
(including its information systems,
programs, and operations), the Federal
Government, or national security; and
(3) the disclosure made to such
agencies, entities, and persons is
reasonably necessary to assist in
connection with DHS’s efforts to
respond to the suspected or confirmed
breach or to prevent, minimize, or
remedy such harm.
F. To another Federal agency or
Federal entity, when DHS determines
that information from this system of
records is reasonably necessary to assist
the recipient agency or entity in (1)
responding to a suspected or confirmed
breach or (2) preventing, minimizing, or
remedying the risk of harm to
individuals, the recipient agency or
entity (including its information
systems, programs, and operations), the
Federal Government, or national
security, resulting from a suspected or
confirmed breach.
G. To an appropriate federal, state,
tribal, local, international, or foreign law
enforcement agency or other appropriate

Officer in consultation with counsel,
when there exists a legitimate public
interest in the disclosure of the
information, when disclosure is
necessary to preserve confidence in the
integrity of DHS, or when disclosure is
necessary to demonstrate the
accountability of DHS’s officers,
employees, or individuals covered by
the system, except to the extent the
Chief Privacy Officer determines that
release of the specific information in the
context of a particular case would
constitute a clearly unwarranted
invasion of personal privacy.
POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF
RECORDS:

DHS stores records in this system
electronically in secure facilities
protected through multi-layer security
mechanisms and strategies that are
physical, technical, administrative, and
environmental in nature. The records
may be stored on magnetic disc, tape,
and digital media.
POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF
RECORDS:

Records may be retrieved by select
personal identifiers; primarily the FIN.
The system also allows for queries based
on other information in the system
including but not limited to unique
identification numbers.
POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND
DISPOSAL OF RECORDS:

The transactional record systems
retention schedule is currently in
development with OBIM and will be
submitted thereafter to NARA for
approval.
ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL
SAFEGUARDS:

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

DHS will consider individual requests
to determine whether or not information
may be released. 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 FOIA Officer, whose

VerDate Sep<11>2014

18:29 Mar 13, 2020

Jkt 250001

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, Washington, DC
20528–0655. Even if neither the Privacy
Act nor the Judicial Redress Act provide
a right of access, certain records about
the individual maybe available under
the Freedom of Information Act.
When seeking records from this
system of records or any other
Departmental system of records, the
request must conform with the Privacy
Act regulations set forth in 6 CFR part
5. The individual must first verify his or
her identity, meaning that he or she
must provide his or her full name,
current address, and date and place of
birth. The individual must sign the
request, and the 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 believe the
Department would have information
being requested;
• Identify which Component(s) of the
Department he or she believes may have
the information;
• 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 the request is seeking records
pertaining to another living individual,
the person seeking the records must
include a statement from the subject
individual certifying his/her agreement
for the requestor to access his or her
records.
Without the above information, the
Component(s) may not be able to
conduct an effective search, and the
request may be denied due to lack of
specificity or lack of compliance with
applicable regulations.
For records covered by the Privacy
Act or covered JRA records, see

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2), has
exempted this system from the
following provisions of the Privacy Act:
5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3), (c)(4); (d); (e)(1),
(e)(2), (e)(3), (e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(H), (e)(4)(I),
(e)(5), and (e)(8); (f); and (g).
Additionally, the Secretary of Homeland
Security, pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
552a(k)(1), (k)(2), and (k)(5), has
exempted this system from the
following provisions of the Privacy Act,
5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3); (d); (e)(1), (e)(4)(G),
(e)(4)(H); and (f).
Exemptions from these particular
subsections are justified on a case-bycase basis determined at the time a
request is made. When this system
receives a record from another system
exempted in that source system under 5
U.S.C. 552a(j)(2), 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(1),
(k)(2), and (k)(5), DHS will claim the
same exemptions for those records that
are claimed for the original primary
systems of records from which they
originated and claim any additional
exemptions set forth here.
