21768 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 74 / Monday, April 18, 2011 / Notices 

Environmental Protection Agency. An 

updated listing of Federal agencies that 

have published LEP Guidance can be 

found at http://www.lep.gov/. The DOJ 

Recipient LEP Guidance in particular 

provides many helpful examples of how 

to apply the four-factor analysis when 

making decisions about the need for 

translating documents, obtaining 

interpreter, and hiring bilingual staff. 

See 67 FR 41466 (June 18, 2002). 

Recipients may also benefit from 

learning about the enforcement actions 

of several agencies since the DOJ 

Guidance was first issued in 2002. For 

example, DOJ has entered into several 

agreements that are available online at 

http://www.lep.gov. In addition, HHS 

has resolved several LEP enforcement 

actions against health service providers. 

Those resolution agreements are 

available at http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/ 

civilrights/activities/examples/LEP/ 

index.html. In any compliance and 

enforcement activity, DHS will review 

the facts and circumstances pertaining 

to the recipient to determine whether 

the recipient has complied with its 

obligations under this guidance. 

Area-specific guidance and LEP 

planning tools for a number of types of 

recipients, including municipal 

governments, law enforcement agencies, 

and recipients engaged in emergency 

preparedness can be found at http:// 

www.lep.gov/resources/resources.html. 

Recipients are encouraged to avail 

themselves of these resources. In 

addition, the Office for Civil Rights and 

Civil Liberties is available to provide 

technical assistance to recipients on the 

provision of language services to LEP 

persons served or encountered in a 

recipient’s program. 

As explained in this guidance, all 

recipients of Federal financial assistance 

from DHS must meet the obligation to 

take reasonable steps to ensure access to 

programs and activities by LEP persons. 

This guidance clarifies the Title VI 

regulatory obligation to address the 

language needs of LEP persons, in 

appropriate circumstances and in a 

reasonable manner by applying the fourfactor analysis. In the context of 

emergency planning and response, 

health and safety, and law enforcement 

operations, where the potential for 

greater consequences are at issue, DHS 

will look for strong evidence that 

recipients have taken reasonable steps 

to ensure access.

SECURITY 

Office of the Secretary 

Privacy Act of 1974; Consolidation of 

System of Records 

AGENCY: Privacy Office, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice to consolidate one 

Privacy Act system of records notice. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of 

Homeland Security is giving notice that 

it proposes to consolidate one Privacy 

Act system of records notice from its 

inventory of record systems titled, 

Department of Homeland Security/ 

Directorate of Science and 

Technology—.0001 Support AntiTerrorism by Fostering Effective 

Technologies Act of 2002, September 

26, 2003, into the existing Department 

of Homeland Security system of records 

notice titled, Department of Homeland 

Security/ALL—002 Mailing and Other 

Lists System, November 25, 2008. 

DATES: Effective Date: May 18, 2011. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Mary Ellen Callahan, Chief Privacy 

Officer, Department of Homeland 

Security, Washington, DC 20528, by 

telephone (703) 235–0780 or facsimile 

1–866–466–5370. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the Privacy Act of 

1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, and as part of its 

ongoing integration and management 

efforts, the Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS) is giving notice that it 

proposes to consolidate one Privacy Act 

system of records notice (SORN) from 

its inventory of record systems titled, 

DHS/Directorate of Science and 

Technology (S&T)—.0001 Support AntiTerrorism by Fostering Effective 

Technologies Act of 2002, (68 FR 55642, 

September 26, 2003), into the existing 

DHS SORN titled, DHS/ALL—002 

Mailing and Other Lists System, (73 FR 

71659, November 25, 2008). 

DHS originally created the DHS/ 

S&T—.0001 Support Anti-Terrorism by 

Fostering Effective Technologies Act of 

2002 SORN in September 2003. This 

system was originally established in 

order to maintain records on individuals 

who submit applications for 

technologies seeking liability protection 

under provisions of the Support AntiTerrorism by Fostering Effective 

Technologies Act. Given that these 

records are limited to contact 

information of individuals (business 

phone number, mailing address, e-mail 

address), DHS has determined this 

system can be covered under the DHS/ 

ALL—002 Mailing and Other List 

Systems SORN. 

Consolidating this SORN will have no 

adverse impact on individuals, but will 

promote the overall streamlining and 

management of DHS Privacy Act record 

systems. 

Dated: April 12, 2011.
