Homeland Security Transportation 

Security Administration—DHS/TSA– 

019 Secure Flight Records System of 

Records 

AGENCY: Department of Homeland 

Security. 

ACTION: Notice of modified Privacy Act 

system of records. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of 

Homeland Security proposes to update 

and reissue a current Department of 

Homeland Security system of records 

titled, ‘‘Department of Homeland 

Security/Transportation Security 

Administration—DHS/TSA–019 Secure 

Flight Records System of Records.’’ This 

system of records allows the Department 

of Homeland Security/Transportation 

Security Administration to collect and 

maintain records on aviation passengers 

and certain non-travelers to screen such 

individuals, before they access airport 

sterile areas or board aircraft, in order to 

identify and prevent a threat to aviation 

security or the lives of passengers and 

others. TSA is reissuing this system of 

records to update the categories of 

records to include whether a passenger 

will receive expedited, standard, or 

enhanced screening. The primary 

impact of this change will be the 

identification of additional passengers 

who are eligible for expedited screening 

at participating airport security 

checkpoints. This updated system will 

be included in the Department of 

Homeland Security’s inventory of 

system of records. 

DATES: Submit comments on or before 

October 10, 2013. This updated system 

will be effective upon publication 

except that the change to the categories 

of records will be effective 30 days after 

date of publication in the Federal 

Register. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by docket number DHS–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 

1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS)/

Transportation Security Administration 

(TSA) proposes to update and reissue a 

current DHS system of records titled, 

‘‘DHS/TSA–019 Secure Flight Records 

System of Records.’’ This system of 

records notice was last updated on 

November 19, 2012.1 TSA is modifying 

the DHS/TSA–019 Secure Flight 

Records system of records Categories of 

Records section in subsection (a) to add 

records containing the results from 

TSA’s intelligence-driven risk-based 

analysis of Secure Flight Passenger Data 

(SFPD). Secure Flight Passenger Data is 

full name, gender, date of birth, redress 

number or Known Traveler number, 

passport information (if applicable), 

reservation control number, record 

sequence number, record type, 

passenger update indicator, traveler 

reference number, and itinerary 

information. 49 CFR § 1560. 

Under sec. 4012(a)(1)–(2) of the 

Intelligence Reform and Terrorism 

Prevention Act of 2004 (IRTPA),2

Congress directed TSA and DHS to 

assume from aircraft operators the 

function of comparing aircraft operator 

passenger information to data in the 

Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB) 

maintained by the Terrorist Screening 

Center (TSC).3

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 175 / Tuesday, September 10, 2013 / Notices 55271 

through the Director of the Federal Bureau of 

Investigation (FBI), established the TSC in support 

of Homeland Security Presidential Directive 6 

(HSPD–6), dated September 16, 2003, which 

required the Attorney General to establish an 

organization to consolidate the Federal 

Government’s approach to terrorism screening and 

to provide for the appropriate and lawful use of 

terrorist information in screening processes.

6 72 FR 63711. 

7 77 FR 69491. 

8Passengers who are eligible for expedited 

screening are referred to a TSA PrebTM expedited 

screening lane where they typically will be able to 

leave on their shoes, light outerwear, and belt, to 

keep their laptop in its case, and to keep their 3– 

1–1 compliant liquids/gels bag in a carry-on. TSA 

PrebTM lanes are available at 40 airports 

nationwide, with additional expansion planned. 

See TSA PrebTM Now Available at 40 Airports 

Nationwide: Expedited Screening Begins at RaleighDurham International Airport, http://www.tsa.gov/

press/releases/2013/03/28/tsapre%E2%9C%93%E2%84%A2-now-available-40- 

airports-nationwide-expedited-screening-begins. 

9 Individuals who are a match to a watch list, 

however, are not eligible for expedited screening. 

10 ‘‘Sterile area’’ means a portion of an airport 

defined in the airport security program that 

provides passengers access to boarding aircraft and 

to which the access generally is controlled by TSA, 

an aircraft operator, or a foreign air carrier through 

the screening of persons and property. 49 CFR 

§ 1540.5. 

In order to implement this statutory 

directive, TSA promulgated the Secure 

Flight Program regulations 4 for the 

purpose of enhancing the security of air 

travel in the United States and to 

support the federal government’s 

counter-terrorism efforts by assisting in 

the detection of individuals on federal 

government watch lists who seek to 

travel by air, and to facilitate the secure 

travel of the public. TSA fully assumed 

the watch list matching function from 

aircraft operators and air carriers by 

November 2010. 

TSA established the Secure Flight 

system of records and published the 

System of Records Notice (SORN) in the 

Federal Register on August 23, 2007.5

TSA updated and republished the 

SORN in the Federal Register on 

November 9, 2007,6 and again on 

November 19, 2012.7 Information 

collection falls under OMB Control 

Number 1652–0046. 

As part of TSA’s ongoing efforts to 

identify appropriate security screening 

for commercial aviation travelers, TSA 

plans to implement a risk-based analysis 

of passenger and flight data provided 

through the computer system that 

processes Secure Flight and other data. 

TSA is amending the Secure Flight 

SORN to reflect this addition to TSA’s 

passenger prescreening capabilities. 

Prescreening involves the use of 

information to make decisions before 

the passenger receives a boarding pass, 

to determine what level of physical 

screening the passenger will receive 

when he or she arrives at the TSA 

airport security checkpoint. This change 

is part of TSA’s ongoing efforts to 

identify appropriate screening for 

travelers, including those who present a 

lower security risk. The primary result 

of this change will be the identification 

of passengers who are eligible for 

expedited screening at participating 

airport security checkpoints.8

Risk-based Analysis of Passenger and 

Flight Data 

TSA’s risk-based analysis is designed 

to increase the number of airline 

passengers who may be eligible for 

expedited screening.9 The risk-based 

analysis is applied to secure flight 

passenger data, including travel 

itinerary, that TSA already receives 

pursuant to the Secure Flight 

regulations, and to frequent flyer 

information that aircraft operators 

submit to TSA. TSA is not collecting 

any new passenger information for the 

risk-based analysis. 

TSA’s risk-based analysis of SFPD 

also may be used to give greater scrutiny 

to a particular flight or individual when, 

based on current intelligence or other 

factors, TSA concludes that there is 

greater risk. That greater scrutiny could 

result in more passengers receiving 

Selectee screening, fewer passengers 

receiving expedited screening, or other 

security procedures not visible to the 

general public. 

The risk-based analysis includes a 

level of randomness to ensure 

unpredictable results. One potential 

result of the randomness is that a 

passenger who might otherwise receive 

expedited screening as a result of this 

process may instead be randomly 

selected to receive standard screening or 

enhanced screening, such as explosives 

detection testing. 

Passengers who are a match to a 

watch list will continue to receive an 

appropriate screening; this change will 

not affect those populations. For all 

other passengers, the passenger 

prescreening computer system will 

conduct risk-based analysis of passenger 

data using the SFPD that TSA already 

receives from aircraft operators pursuant 

to the Secure Flight regulations, and 

frequent flyer information that aircraft 

operators submit to TSA. TSA will then 

review this information using 

intelligence-driven, risk-based analysis 

to determine whether individual 

passengers will receive expedited, 

standard, or enhanced screening; the 

results will be indicated on the 

passenger’s boarding pass. 

No one will be denied the ability to 

fly or to enter the sterile area 10 of an 

airport based on the results of the riskbased analysis. The primary result of the 

risk-based analysis will be the 

identification of passengers who are 

eligible for expedited screening at 

participating airport security 

checkpoints. 

II. Privacy Act 

The Privacy Act embodies fair 

information practice principles in a 

statutory framework governing the 

means by which the 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 

for 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 where 

systems of records maintain information 

on U.S. citizens, lawful permanent 

residents, and visitors. 

Below is the description of the DHS/ 

TSA–019 Secure Flight Records 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.

PURPOSE(S): 

The Secure Flight Records system will 

be used to identify and protect against 

potential and actual threats to 

transportation security and support the 

Federal Government’s counterterrorism 

efforts by assisting in the identification 

of individuals who warrant further 

scrutiny prior to boarding an aircraft or 

seek to enter a sterile area or who 

warrant denial of boarding or denial of 

entry to a sterile area on security 

grounds. It also will be used to identify 

individuals who are lower risk and 

therefore may be eligible for expedited 

screening at the airport security 

checkpoint. Both of these functions are 

designed to facilitate the secure travel of 

the public.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, 

RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND

DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

STORAGE: 

Records are maintained at the 

Transportation Security Administration, 

601 South 12th Street, Arlington, VA, 

and at other secure TSA facilities in 

Annapolis Junction, Maryland and 

Colorado Springs, Colorado. Records 

also may be maintained at the secured 

facilities of contractors or other parties 

that perform functions under the Secure 

Flight program. The records are stored 

on magnetic disc, tape, digital media, 

and CD–ROM, and may also be retained 

in hard copy format in secure file 

folders or safes. 

RETRIEVABILITY: 

Data are retrievable by the 

individual’s name or other identifier, as 

well as non-identifying information 

such as itinerary. 

SAFEGUARDS: 

All records are protected from 

unauthorized access through 

appropriate administrative, physical, 

and technical safeguards. The system is 

also protected through a multi-layer 

security approach. The protective 

strategies are physical, technical, 

administrative and environmental in 

nature and provide role-based access 

control to sensitive data, physical access 

control to DHS facilities, confidentiality 

of communications, including 

encryption, authentication of sending 

parties, compartmentalizing databases; 

auditing software and personnel 

screening to ensure that all personnel 

with access to data are screened through 

background investigations 

commensurate with the level of access 

required to perform their duties. 

Information in this system is 

safeguarded in accordance with 

applicable rules and policies, including 

any applicable TSA and DHS automated 

systems security and access policies. 

The system will be in compliance with 

Office of Management and Budget and 

National Institute of Standards and 

Technology guidance. Access to the 

computer system containing the records 

in this system of records is limited to 

those individuals who require it to 

perform their official duties. The 

computer system also maintains a realtime audit of individuals who access the 

system. 

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: 

Records relating to an individual 

determined by the automated matching 

process to be neither a match nor or 

potential match to a watchlist will be 

destroyed within seven days after 

completion of the last leg of the 

individual’s directional travel itinerary. 

Records relating to an individual 

determined by the automated matching 

process to be a potential watch list 

match will be retained for seven years 

after the completion of the individual’s 

directional travel itinerary. Records 

relating to an individual determined to 

be a confirmed watchlist match will be 

retained for 99 years after the date of 

match confirmation. 

Lists of individuals stored in Secure 

Flight, such as individuals identified as 

Known Travelers and individuals who 

have been disqualified from eligibility 

to receive expedited screening as a 

result of their involvement in certain 

security incidents, will be deleted or 

destroyed when superseded by an 

updated list.

establish a new Department of 

Homeland Security system of records 

titled, ‘‘Department of Homeland

Transportation Security Administration 

to collect and maintain records on 

individuals who voluntarily submit 

information to the Transportation 

Security Administration for use by the 

agency to perform a security threat 

assessment. The security threat 

assessment will be used to identify 

persons who pose a low risk to 

transportation security and therefore 

may be eligible for expedited screening 

at participating U.S. airport security 

checkpoints. Additionally, the 

Department of Homeland Security is 

issuing a Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking elsewhere in the Federal 

Register to exempt some records from 

this system of records from certain 

provisions of the Privacy Act. This 

newly established system will be 

included in the Department of 

Homeland Security’s inventory of 

systems of records.
