**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 update and reissue a current DHS system of records titled, ‘‘DHS/OPS–004 Publicly Available Social Media Monitoring and Situational Awareness Initiative System of Records.’’

The DHS/OPS–004 Publicly Available Social Media Monitoring and Situational Awareness Initiative System of Records allows the DHS/OPS National Operations Center (NOC) to fulfill its mandate to provide situational awareness and a common operating picture for the entire Federal Government, and for state, local, and tribal governments as appropriate, and to ensure that critical terrorism and disaster-related information reaches government decision-makers. 6 U.S.C. 321d(b). As a result of a biennial review of this system, DHS is updating this SORN to (1) clarify that the fifth category of individuals may include any of the categories of records for anchors, newscasters, or on-scene reporters; (2) expand the sixth category of individuals to include current and former public officials who are potential victims of incidents or activities related to Homeland Security; (3) limit the system classification to Unclassified and For Official Use Only; and (4) update the record source categories to clarify that all records within this system are collected from publicly available social media Web sites.

As described in the DHS/OPS/PIA– 004 Publicly Available Social Media Monitoring and Situational Awareness Initiative Privacy Impact Assessment and associated updates (which are available on the DHS Privacy Office Web site at http://www.dhs.gov/ privacy ), the NOC monitors publicly available online forums, blogs, public Web sites, and message boards. Through the use of publicly available search engines and content aggregators, the NOC monitors activities on social media for information it can use to provide situational awareness and establish a common operating picture. The NOC gathers, stores, analyzes, and disseminates relevant and appropriate de-identified information to federal, state, local, and foreign governments, and private sector partners authorized to receive situational awareness and a common operating picture. Under this initiative, OPS generally does not: (1) Actively seek personally identifiable information (PII); (2) post any information; (3) actively seek to connect with other internal/external personal users; (4) accept other internal/external personal users’ invitations to connect; or (5) interact on social media sites. However, OPS is permitted to establish user names and passwords to form profiles and follow relevant government, media, and subject matter experts on social media sites in order to use search tools under established criteria and search terms for monitoring that supports providing situational awareness and establishing a common operating picture. Furthermore, PII on the following categories of individuals may be collected when it lends


### 30260 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 101 / Wednesday, May 27, 2015 / Notices

credibility to the report or facilitates coordination with federal, state, local, tribal, territorial, foreign, or international government partners: (1) U.S. and foreign individuals in extremis situations involving potential life or death circumstances; (2) Senior U.S. and foreign government officials who make public statements or provide public updates; (3) U.S. and foreign government spokespersons who make public statements or provide public updates; (4) U.S. and foreign private sector officials and spokespersons who make public statements or provide public updates; (5) Anchors, newscasters, or on-scene reporters who are known or identified as reporters in their post or article or who use traditional or social media in real time to keep their audience situationally aware and informed; (6) public officials, current and former, who are victims or potential victims of incidents or activities related to Homeland Security and; (7) known terrorists, drug cartel leaders, or other persons known to have been involved in major crimes or terror of Homeland Security interest who are killed or found dead.

The NOC will identify and monitor only information needed to provide situational awareness and establish a common operating picture. The NOC will use this information to fulfill the statutory mandate set forth in 6 U.S.C. 321d(b) to include the sharing of information with foreign governments and the private sector as otherwise authorized by law.

DHS is authorized to implement this program primarily through 6 U.S.C. 121; 44 U.S.C. 3101; Executive Order (E.O.) 13388; 6 U.S.C. 321d; and Homeland Security Presidential Directive 5. 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 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 breach; or to an agency, organization, or individual when there could potentially be a risk of harm to an individual. This system of records is not subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act because DHS is not requesting specific information from the public.

Consistent with DHS’s information sharing mission, information contained in the DHS/OPS–004 Publicly Available Social Media Monitoring and Situational Awareness Initiative System of Records may be shared with other DHS Components, as well as appropriate federal, state, local, tribal, territorial, foreign, or international government agencies. This sharing will take place only after DHS determines that the receiving DHS Component or agency has a verifiable 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.

This updated system will be included in DHS’s inventory of record systems.

II. Privacy Act

The Privacy Act embodies fair information practice principles in a statutory framework governing the means by which 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 from which information is retrieved by the name of an individual or by some identifying number, symbol, or other identifying particular assigned to the individual. The Privacy Act defines ‘‘individual’’ as a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident. As a matter of policy, DHS extends administrative Privacy Act protections to all individuals when systems of records maintain information on U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and
visitors.

Below is the description of the DHS/ OPS–004 Publicly Available Social Media Monitoring and Situational Awareness Initiative System of Records.
