2_use_case_name: Biometric Check-in for ATD-ISAP (SmartLINK)
3_agency: Department of Homeland Security
3_abr: DHS
4_bureau: ICE
8_topic_area: Law & Justice
10_commercial_ai: None of the above.
11_purpose_benefits: ISAP Biometric Monitoring App is a technology option that allows participants to report in using a smartphone. This app verifies a participant’s identity, determine their location, and quickly collect status change information. The app adds functionality not available with telephonic and is less intrusive than a GPS unit. ISAP monitoring app limits in-person interactions of routine check-ins, allowing more time to be allocated to non-compliant participants, complex removal proceedings cases and docket management.
12_outputs: There are two outputs related to using ISAP Biometric Monitoring App. Either a participant “passes” (biometric match) or the photo is moved to a “pending review” status.  In either scenario, a human can evaluate the response.
16_dev_stage: Operation and Maintenance
17_impact_type: Rights-Impacting

18_date_initiated: 2/1/2018
19_date_acq_dev_began: 2/1/2018
20_date_implemented: 2/1/2018
22_dev_method: Developed with contracting resources.

24_hisp_support: No
27_public_info: No
29_contains_pii: Yes
30_saop_review: Yes
31_data_catalog: No
33_agency_data: N/A - The Agency does not own any of the data used to train, fine-tune, and/or evaluate performance of the model(s) used in this use case.
34_data_docs: Documentation is missing or not available: No documentation exists regarding maintenance, composition, quality, or intended use of the training and evaluation data.
37_custom_code: No
38_code_access: No – agency does not have access to source code.
40_has_ato: Yes
41_system_name: ISAP IV (SmartLink) IATSS
42_dev_tools_wait: Less than 6 months
43_infra_provisioned: No
45_compute_request: No
47_timely_resources: Other
49_existing_reuse: None: This use case does not re-use any internally developed tooling or managed infrastructure from any other AI development efforts within the agency.
50_internal_review: No documentation is available: No documentation detailing model performance metrics, model architecture, features and intended use of the models have been created or are currently accessible to other data science teams within the agency.
51_extension_request: No – Agency did not request an extension for this use case.
52_impact_assessment: Yes
53_real_world_testing: Performance evaluation in operational environment: The AI use case has been tested in an operational environment before being fully implemented as a solution, or has been tested in simulated or controlled environment using operational or synthetic data.
54_key_risks: Environmental variables may negatively impact model performance. At enrollment, participants meet with a Case Manager, who explains the program in the participant’s preferred language. Participants receive guidance on the use of the system and environmental parameters which may affect results (e.g. poor lighting, busy backgrounds). All nonmatches are reviewed by human examiner and considered for a redo before the check in is officially marked as a nonmatch.  
55_independent_eval: Yes – by the CAIO
56_monitor_postdeploy: Automated and Regularly Scheduled Updates: Some aspects of the plan to monitor the AI system post-deployment are automated including re-training of models after detecting drift; however, data science teams are still significantly involved in the monitoring and re-deployment process.
57_autonomous_impact: No - Some individual decisions or actions require direct human oversight.
59_ai_notice: In-person
61_adverse_impact: No
62_disparity_mitigation: There are two outputs related to using ISAP Biometric Monitoring App. Either a participant “passes” (biometric match) or the photo is moved to a “pending review” status.  In either scenario, a human can evaluate the response.
63_stakeholder_consult: None of the above
65_appeal_process: No – it is not operationally practical to offer this.
66_no_appeal_reason: A human is required to evaluate all the "pending review" status items regardless of outcomes.
67_opt_out: Yes
