DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND 

SECURITY 

Office of the Secretary 

[Docket No. DHS–2010–0055] 

Privacy Act of 1974; Department of 

Homeland Security Office of 

Operations Coordination and 

Planning—002 National Operations 

Center Tracker and Senior Watch 

Officer Logs System of Records 

AGENCY: Privacy Office, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of Privacy Act system of 

records. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of 

Homeland Security proposes to 

establish a new Department of 

Homeland Security system of records 

notice titled, ‘‘Department of Homeland 

Security Office of Operations 

Coordination and Planning—002 

National Operations Center Tracker and 

Senior Watch Officer Logs System of 

Records.’’ This system of records 

consists of a National Operations Center 

and Senior Watch Officer Tracker Logs. 

The Senior Watch Officer Tracker Log is 

a synopsis, in the form of a word 

document, that records all significant 

information received and actions taken 

by the Senior Watch Officer during the 

shift. The National Operations Center 

Tracker Log is the underlying 

cumulative repository of responses to 

all-threats and all-hazards, man-made 

disasters and acts of terrorism, and 

natural disasters, and requests for 

information that require a National 

Operations Center tracking number. The 

National Operations Center tracker 

numbers are used in a wide variety of 

products originated by the Department 

or external sources. They are shared 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
12746 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 8, 2011 / Notices 

inside and outside of the Department 

and serve as shorthand for tying data, 

used in internal and external reports, 

and agency actions to the event that 

caused them. The National Operations 

Center Tracker Log contains a copy of 

all documents and information that is 

requested, shared, and/or researched 

between all National Operations Center 

Watch Officer Desks. Because of the 

depth and breadth of information that 

the NOC receives, categories of 

individuals and records are broad so as 

to cover the possibility of this 

personally identifiable information 

entering this Privacy Act system of 

records within the NOC. 

Some of the records in this system are 

in part transferred from the Department 

of Homeland Security/Information 

Analysis and Infrastructure Protection— 

001 Homeland Security Operations 

Center Database system of records, April 

15, 2005, with the overall intent of 

narrowing the focus of these records to 

the specific purpose outlined in this 

system of records notice. It is the 

Department’s intent, after all records are 

transferred into this and other system of 

records, to retire the Department of 

Homeland Security/Information 

Analysis and Infrastructure Protection— 

001 Homeland Security Operations 

Center Database system of records. 

The Department of Homeland 

Security has issued a Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking consistent with this system 

of records 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 7, 2011. This new system will be 

effective April 7, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by docket number DHS– 

2010–0055 by one of the following 

methods: 

• Federal e-Rulemaking Portal: 

http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments. 

• Fax: 703–483–2999. 

• Mail: Mary Ellen Callahan, Chief 

Privacy Officer, Privacy Office, 

Department of Homeland Security, 

Washington, DC 20528. 

• Instructions: All submissions 

received must include the agency name 

and docket number for this rulemaking. 

All comments received will be posted 

without change to http:// 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information provided. 

• Docket: For access to the docket to 

read background documents or 

comments received go to http:// 

www.regulations.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 

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

Homeland Security (DHS) Office of 

Operations Coordination and Planning 

(OPS) proposes to establish a new DHS 

system of records titled, ‘‘DHS/OPS— 

002 National Operations Center Tracker 

and Senior Watch Officer Logs System 

of Records.’’ 

The primary role of the Senior Watch 

Officer (SWO) and the Watch Officer 

Desks, is to provide technical assistance 

directly in support of the DHS core 

missions to provide situational 

awareness and establish a common 

operating picture for Federal, State, 

local, Tribal, and territorial agencies and 

organizations; foreign governments and 

international organizations; domestic 

security and emergency management 

officials; and private sector entities or 

individuals as it relates to all-threats 

and all-hazards, man-made disasters 

and acts of terrorism, and natural 

disasters, and ensure that information 

reaches government decision-makers. 

The SWO Tracker Log is a synopsis, 

in the form of a word document, that 

records all significant information 

received and actions taken during a 

shift. The NOC Tracker Log is the 

underlying cumulative repository of all 

NOC responses to threats, incidents, 

significant activities and Requests for 

Information (RFI) that require a NOC 

tracking number. The NOC Tracker Log 

contains a copy of all documents and 

information that is requested, shared, 

and/or researched between all NOC 

watch stander desks. 

The purpose of this system is to tie 

together the high volume of information, 

requests and responses for information, 

and data collection relevant to discreet 

events and issues as they arise, and 

making that information easily 

accessible in an organized form should 

a future event benefit from previously 

gathered information. The tracker 

numbers are used in a wide variety of 

products originated by the DHS/OPS 

NOC. They are shared inside and 

outside of DHS and serve as shorthand 

for tying data, use in internal and 

external reports, and agency actions to 

the event that caused them. DHS is 

authorized to implement this program 

primarily through 5 U.S.C. 301, 552, 

552a; 44 U.S.C. 3101; 6 U.S.C. 121; 

Sections 201 and 514 of the Homeland 

Security Act of 2002, as amended; 

Section 520 of the Post Katrina 

Emergency Management Reform Act; 44 

U.S.C. 3101; Executive Order (E.O.) 

12958; E.O. 9397; E.O. 12333; E.O. 

13356; E.O. 13388; and Homeland 

Security Presidential Directive 5. This 

system has an effect on individual 

privacy that is balanced by the need to 

fuse information together and tracking 

homeland security information coming 

into and going out of OPS, including the 

NOC. Routine uses contained in this 

notice include sharing with the 

Department of Justice (DOJ) for legal 

advice and representation; to a 

congressional office at the request of an 

individual; to the National Archives and 

Records Administration (NARA) for 

records management; to contractors in 

support of their contract assignment to 

DHS; to appropriate Federal, State, 

Tribal, local, international, foreign 

agency, or other appropriate entity 

including the privacy sector in their role 

aiding OPS in their mission; to agencies, 

organizations or individuals for the 

purpose of audit; to agencies, entities, or 

persons during a security or information 

compromise or risk; to an agency, 

organization, or individual when there 

could potentially be a risk to an 

individual; and to the news media in 

the interest of the public. None of the 

information collected by this system is 

done so under the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA). 

Consistent with DHS’s information 

sharing mission, information stored in 

the DHS/OPS—002 National Operations 

Center and Senior Watch Officer 

Tracker Log System of Records may be 

shared with other DHS components, as 

well as appropriate Federal, State, local, 

Tribal, and territorial agencies and 

organizations; foreign governments and 

international organizations; domestic 

security and emergency management 

officials; and private sector entities or 

individuals. This sharing will only take 

place after DHS determines that the 

receiving component or agency has a 

need to know the information to carry 

out national security, law enforcement, 

immigration, intelligence, or other 

functions consistent with the routine 

uses set forth in this system of records 

notice. DHS has issued a Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking consistent with 

this system of records 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 principles in a statutory 

framework governing the means by 

which the United States Government 

collects, maintains, uses, and 

disseminates 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 

United States 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. Individuals may request access 

to 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. 

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 to which 

their records are put, and to assist 

individuals to more easily find such 

files within the agency. Below is the 

description of the DHS/OPS—002 

National Operations Center and Senior 

Watch Officer Tracker Log 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.

factually accurate and relevant to 

ongoing homeland security situational 

awareness and monitoring efforts; 

• Name of the contributing or 

submitting agency, organization, or 

individual. 

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

5 U.S.C. 301, 552, 552a; 44 U.S.C. 

3101; 6 U.S.C. 121; Sections 201 and

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: 

In addition to those disclosures 

generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 

552a(b) of the Privacy Act, all or a 

portion of the records or information 

contained in this system may be 

disclosed outside DHS as a routine use 

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) as 

follows: 

A. To the Department of Justice 

(including United States Attorney 

Offices) or other Federal agency 

conducting litigation or in proceedings 

before any court, adjudicative or 

administrative body, when it is 

necessary to the litigation and one of the 

following is a party to the litigation or 

has an interest in such litigation: 

1. DHS or any component thereof; 

2. any employee of DHS in his/her 

official capacity; 

3. any employee of DHS in his/her 

individual capacity where DOJ or DHS 

has agreed to represent the employee; or 

4. the United States or any agency 

thereof, is a party to the litigation or has 

an interest in such litigation, and DHS 

determines that the records are both 

relevant and necessary to the litigation 

and the use of such records is 

compatible with the purpose for which 

DHS collected the records. 

B. To a congressional office from the 

record of an individual in response to 

an inquiry from that congressional office 

made at the request of the individual to 

whom the record pertains. 

C. To the National Archives and 

Records Administration or other Federal 

government agencies pursuant to 

records management inspections being 

conducted under the authority of 44 

U.S.C. 2904 and 2906. 

D. To an agency, organization, or 

individual for the purpose of performing 

audit or oversight operations as 

authorized by law, but only such 

information as is necessary and relevant 

to such audit or oversight function. 

E. To appropriate agencies, entities, 

and persons when: 

1. DHS suspects or has confirmed that 

the security or confidentiality of 

information in the system of records has 

been compromised; 

2. The Department has determined 

that as a result of the suspected or 

confirmed compromise there is a risk of 

harm to economic or property interests, 

identity theft or fraud, or harm to the 

security or integrity of this system or 

other systems or programs (whether 

maintained by DHS or another agency or 

entity) or harm to the individual that 

rely upon the compromised 

information; 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 

compromise and prevent, minimize, or 

remedy such harm. 

F. To contractors and their agents, 

grantees, experts, consultants, and 

others performing or working on a 

contract, service, grant, cooperative 

agreement, or other assignment for DHS, 

when necessary to accomplish an 

agency function related to this system of 

records. Individuals provided 

information under this routine use are 

subject to the same Privacy Act 

requirements and limitations on 

disclosure as are applicable to DHS 

officers and employees. 

G. To an appropriate Federal, State, 

Tribal, local, international, or foreign 

law enforcement agency or other 

appropriate authority charged with 

investigating or prosecuting a violation 

or enforcing or implementing a law, 

rule, regulation, or order, where a 

record, either on its face or in 

conjunction with other information, 

indicates a violation or potential 

violation of law, which includes 

criminal, civil, or regulatory violations 

and such disclosure is proper and 

consistent with the official duties of the 

person making the disclosure. 

H. To the news media and the public, 

with the approval of the Chief Privacy 

Officer in consultation with counsel, 

when there exists a legitimate public 

interest in the disclosure of the 

information or when disclosure is 

necessary to preserve confidence in the 

integrity of DHS or is necessary to 

demonstrate the accountability of DHS’s 

officers, employees, or individuals 

covered by the system, except to the 

extent it is determined that release of 

the specific information in the context 

of a particular case would constitute an 

unwarranted invasion of personal 

privacy. 

DISCLOSURE TO CONSUMER REPORTING

AGENCIES: 

None. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, 

RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND

DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

STORAGE: 

Records in this system are stored 

electronically or on paper in secure 

facilities in a locked drawer behind a 

locked door. The records are stored on 

magnetic disc, tape, digital media, and 

CD–ROM. 

RETRIEVABILITY: 

Much of the data within this system 

does not pertain to an individual; rather, 

the information pertains to locations, 

geographic areas, facilities, and other 

things or objects not related to 

individuals. However, some personal 

information is captured. Personal data 

may be retrieved by NOC or SWO 

tracker numbers, name, social security 

number and other identifiers listed 

under the Categories of Records Section. 

Most information is stored as free text 

and any word, phrase, or number is 

searchable. 

SAFEGUARDS: 

Records in this system are 

safeguarded in accordance with 

applicable rules and policies, including 

all applicable DHS automated systems 

security and access policies. Strict

for you to access his/her records. 

Without this bulleted information the
