(5) To resettlement agencies to ensure 

appropriate placement in the United 

States. 

(6) To state refugee coordinators, 

health officials, and interested 

community organizations for statistical 

and demographic purposes. 

(7) To consumer reporting agencies 

(31 U.S.C. 3711), debt collection 

contractors (31 U.S.C. 3718) and the 

Department of the Treasury (31 U.S.C. 

3716) to assist in the collection of 

indebtedness reassigned to the U.S. 

Government under the refugee travel 

loan program administered by the 

International Organization for Migration 

(IOM). 

The Department of State periodically 

publishes in the Federal Register its 

standard routine uses that apply to all 

of its Privacy Act systems of records. 

These notices appear in the form of a 

Prefatory Statement. These standard 

routine uses apply to the Refugee Case 

Records, State-59. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, 

RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND

DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

STORAGE: 

Electronic media and hard copy. 

RETRIEVABILITY: 

Individual name, case number, alien 

number, and sponsor name. 

SAFEGUARDS: 

WRAPS users at the Refugee 

Processing Center (RPC) are given cyber 

security awareness training by the 

contractor which covers the procedures 

for handling Sensitive but Unclassified 

information, including personally 

identifiable information. Annual 

refresher training is mandatory. All RPC 

employees are subject to a thorough 

background security investigation. 

At the Resettlement Support Centers 

(RSC) overseas, all paper records 

containing personal information are 

maintained in secured file cabinets in 

restricted areas, access to which is 

limited to authorized personnel only. 

RSC staff are briefed on the 

confidentiality of refugee data and 

instructed regarding proper handling 

procedures. Access to computerized 

files is password-protected and under 

the direct supervision of the system 

manager. Centralized electronic storage 

and retrieval assist operational 

managers at headquarters and overseas 

to identify and resolve processing 

delays, plan accurately for refugee 

arrivals, improve program analysis, and 

preserve overseas records in case of 

evacuation or disasters in overseas 

processing locations. The system 

manager has the capability of printing 

audit trails of access from the computer 

media, thereby permitting regular and 

ad hoc monitoring of computer usage. 

When it is determined that a user no 

longer needs access, the user account is 

disabled. 

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: 

Records are retired or destroyed in 

accordance with the published records 

schedules of the Department of State as 

approved by the National Archives and 

Records Administration. If individuals 

have been assigned alien numbers, their 

hard copy files are transferred to USCIS 

and subject to its disposition schedules. 

Electronic records at the RSC will be 

retained for five years after the last 

action has been taken on the case. At the 

RPC, WRAPS records are maintained 

offline for an additional 10 years, and 

then deleted when 15 years old. 

Statistical data are kept indefinitely. 

Hard copies of the results of the DNA 

relationship testing between individuals 

in the United States and family 

members overseas applying for 

admission based on their familial 

relationship will be destroyed 

immediately after relevant information 

is entered into Worldwide Refugee 

Admissions Processing System database 

by RPC staff.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

United States and Jordan announced the 

establishment of the U.S.-Jordan Joint 

Forum on Environmental Technical 

Cooperation (Joint Forum) when they 

signed the U.S.-Jordan Joint Statement 

on Environmental Technical 

Cooperation (Joint Statement), on 

October 24, 2000, along with the U.S.- 

Jordan FTA. The Joint Forum is to meet 

regularly and advance environmental 

protection in Jordan by developing 

environmental technical cooperation 

initiatives, which take into account 

environmental priorities, and which are 

agreed to by the two governments. In 

paragraph 4 of the Joint Statement, the 

countries identify an initial focus of 

technical cooperation on Jordanian 

environmental quality issues and the 

development and effective 

implementation of Jordanian 

environmental laws, as defined in 

Articles 5.4 and 18.2(a) of the U.S.- 

Jordan FTA. 

The Joint Forum has met twice since 

2000—in September 2004 and March 

2009—and issued two plans for 

implementing the Joint Statement. The 

first—a Plan of Action—focused on 

implementing a strategic vision for 

Jordan’s Ministry of Environment, 

established in 2002, to promote 

sustainable economic growth and 

development. The plan outlined 

activities to, among other things, 

strengthen the Ministry’s capacity for 

setting, implementing, and ensuring 

compliance with environmental 

standards; harness market forces to 

protect the environment while bringing 

economic benefits; undertake industrial 

wastewater treatment and hazardous 

waste management for a target region; 

seek out economic benefits of 

ecotourism; and promote the 

development of a regional network of 

environmental lawmakers and 

enforcement officials. 

The second, a Work Program for 

2008–2011, identifies long-term goals 

and specifies activities in four priority 

areas. The long-term goals are to 

achieve: (1) Compliance with 

obligations in Article 5 (Environment) of 

the U.S.-Jordan FTA; (2) improved 

protection and conservation of the 

environment, including natural 

resources; (3) transparency and 

meaningful public participation in 

environmental decision-making; and (4) 

a culture of environmental protection 

and compliance with environmental 

laws through, among other things, the 

promotion of economic opportunities, 

voluntary measures to enhance 

environmental performance, and job 

creation. The priority areas are: (1) 

Institutional and policy strengthening; 

(2) biodiversity conservation and 

improved management of protected 

areas; (3) improved private sector 

environmental performance; and (4) 

environmental education, transparency, 

and public participation in 

environmental decision-making and 

enforcement. 

For the 2012–2013 Work Program, we 

anticipate building upon the 

cooperative work initiated under the 

previous two plans. We are requesting 

suggestions that may be considered for 

inclusion in the next Work Program. 

Disclaimer: This Public Notice is a 

request for comments and suggestions, 

and is not a request for applications. No 

granting of money is directly associated 

with this request for suggestions for the 

Work Program. There is no expectation 

of resources or funding associated with 

any comments or suggestions for the 

Work Program.
