interest in the disclosure of the 

information, when disclosure is 

necessary to preserve confidence in the 

integrity of DHS, or when disclosure is 

necessary to demonstrate the 

accountability of DHS’s officers, 

employees, or individuals covered by 

the system, except to the extent the 

Chief Privacy Officer determines that 

release of the specific information in the 

context of a particular case would 

constitute an unwarranted invasion of 

personal privacy. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF

RECORDS: 

DHS stores records in this system 

electronically or on paper in secure 

facilities in a locked drawer behind a 

locked door. The records may be stored 

on magnetic disc, tape, and digital 

media. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF

RECORDS: 

Records may be retrieved by an 

individual’s name, tax identification 

number/Social Security number, 

employee identification number, or 

other personal identifier referenced in 

the categories of records in the system. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND

DISPOSAL OF RECORDS: 

DHS destroys records six years after 

final payment or cancellation, or longer 

if required for a business use, in 

accordance with National Archives and 

Records Administration (NARA) 

General Records Schedule 1.1, Financial 

Management and Reporting Records, 

item 010, and DAA–GRS–2013–0003– 

0001. 

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL

SAFEGUARDS: 

DHS safeguards records in this system 

according to applicable rules and 

policies, including all applicable DHS 

automated systems security and access 

policies. DHS has imposed strict 

controls to minimize the risk of 

compromising the information that is 

being stored. Access to the computer 

system containing the records in this 

system is limited to those individuals 

who have a need to know the 

information for the performance of their 

official duties and who have appropriate 

clearances or permissions. 

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES: 

Individuals seeking access to and 

notification of any record contained in 

this system of records, or seeking to 

contest its content, may submit a 

request in writing to the Chief Privacy 

Officer and Headquarters or 

Component’s Freedom of Information 

Act (FOIA) Officer, whose contact 

information can be found at http://

www.dhs.gov/foia under ‘‘Contact 

Information.’’ If an individual believes 

more than one Component maintains 

Privacy Act records concerning him or 

her, the individual may submit the 

request to the Chief Privacy Officer and 

Chief Freedom of Information Act 

Officer, Department of Homeland 

Security, Washington, DC 20528–0655. 

Even if neither the Privacy Act nor the 

Judicial Redress Act provide a right of 

access, certain records about you may be 

available under the Freedom of 

Information Act. 

When an individual is seeking records 

about himself or herself from this 

system of records or any other 

Departmental system of records, the 

individual’s request must conform with 

the Privacy Act regulations set forth in 

6 CFR part 5. The individual must first 

verify his or her identity, meaning that 

the individual must provide his or her 

full name, current address, and date and 

place of birth. The individual must sign 

the request, and the individual’s 

signature must either be notarized or 

submitted under 28 U.S.C. 1746, a law 

that permits statements to be made 

under penalty of perjury as a substitute 

for notarization. While no specific form 

is required, an individual may obtain 

forms for this purpose from the Chief 

Privacy Officer and Chief Freedom of 

Information Act Officer, http://

www.dhs.gov/foia or 1–866–431–0486. 

In addition, the individual should: 

• Explain why he or she believes the 

Department would have information on 

him or her; 

• Identify which Component(s) of the 

Department the individual believes may 

have the information about him or her; 

• Specify when the individual 

believes the records would have been 

created; and 

• Provide any other information that 

will help the FOIA staff determine 

which DHS Component agency may 

have responsive records. 

If an individual’s request is seeking 

records pertaining to another living 

individual, the person seeking the 

records must include a statement from 

the subject individual certifying his or 

her agreement for the requestor to access 

his or her records. 

Without the above information, the 

Component(s) may not be able to 

conduct an effective search, and the 

individual’s request may be denied due 

to lack of specificity or lack of 

compliance with applicable regulations. 

CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES: 

For records covered by the Privacy 

Act or covered JRA records, individuals 

may make a request for amendment or 

correction of a record of the Department 

about the individual by writing directly 

to the Department component that 

maintains the record, unless the record 

is not subject to amendment or 

correction. The request should identify 

each particular record in question, state 

the amendment or correction desired, 

and state why the individual believes 

that the record is not accurate, relevant, 

timely, or complete. The individual may 

submit any documentation that would 

be helpful. If the individual believes 

that the same record is in more than one 

system of records, the request should 

state that and be addressed to each 

component that maintains a system of 

records containing the record. 

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES: 

See ‘‘Record Access Procedures.’’ 

EXEMPTIONS PROMULGATED FOR THE SYSTEM: 

None.

methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be

600 under section 101(b)(1)(F) of the 

INA. A U.S. prospective adoptive parent 

may file Form I–600A in advance of the 

Form I–600 filing and USCIS will make 

a determination regarding the 

prospective adoptive parent’s eligibility 

to file Form I–600A and their suitability 

and eligibility to properly parent an 

orphan. A U.S. adoptive parent may file 

a petition to classify an orphan as an 

immediate relative through Form I–600
