DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND 

SECURITY 

Office of the Secretary 

Published Privacy Impact 

Assessments on the Web 

AGENCY: Privacy Office, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of Publication of Privacy 

Impact Assessments (PIA). 

SUMMARY: The Privacy Office of the DHS 

is making available sixteen PIAs on 

various programs and systems in the 

Department. These assessments were 

approved and published on the Privacy 

Office’s web site between January 8, 

2011 and March 31, 2011. 

DATES: The PIAs will be available on the 

DHS Web site until July 26, 2011, after 

which they may be obtained by 

contacting the DHS Privacy Office 

(contact information below). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Mary Ellen Callahan, Chief Privacy 

Officer, Department of Homeland 

Security, Washington, DC 20528, or 

e-mail: pia@hq.dhs.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Between 

January 8, 2011 and March 31, 2011, the 

Chief Privacy Officer of the DHS 

approved and published sixteen Privacy 

Impact Assessments (PIAs) on the DHS 

Privacy Office Web site, http:// 

www.dhs.gov/privacy, under the link for 

‘‘Privacy Impact Assessments.’’ These 

PIAs cover sixteen separate DHS 

programs. Below is a short summary of 

those programs, indicating the DHS 

component responsible for the system, 

and the date on which the PIA was 

approved. Additional information can 

be found on the Web site or by 

contacting the Privacy Office. 

System: DHS/ICE/PIA–005(b) Bond 

Management Information System 

(BMIS) Web Release 2.2 Update. 

Component: U.S. Immigration and 

Customs Enforcement (ICE). 

Date of approval: January 19, 2011. 

Bond Management Information 

System (BMIS) is an immigration bond 

management database used primarily by 

the Office of Financial Management at 

U.S. ICE. The basic function of BMIS is 

to support the financial management of 

immigration bonds posted for the 

release of aliens in ICE custody. Among 

other things, ICE uses BMIS to calculate 

and pay interest to obligors who post 

cash immigration bonds. Under Internal 

Revenue Service rules, interest 

payments to certain obligors are subject 

to backup withholdings where a 

percentage of the payment is withheld 

as tax and sent to the IRS. To begin to 

implement the backup withholding 

rules, ICE is modifying BMIS to collect 

additional information about obligors to 

determine whether a backup 

withholding is required. Because ICE is 

expanding the scope of information 

collected and the purposes for which 

BMIS information is being used, an 

update to the BMIS PIA is required. 

System: DHS/TSA/PIA–059 TSA 

Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) 

Update. 

Component: Transportation Security 

Administration (TSA). 

Date of approval: January 25, 2011. 

TSA has deployed AIT, including 

backscatter x-ray and millimeter wave 

devices, for operational use to detect 

threat objects carried on persons 

entering airport sterile areas. AIT creates 

an image of the full body that highlights 

objects that are on the body. To mitigate 

the privacy risk associated with creating 

an image of the individual’s body, TSA 

isolates the TSA officer (the image 

operator) viewing the image from the 

TSA officer interacting with the 

individual. TSA does not store any 

personally identifiable information from 

AIT screening. A PIA on the pilot was 

published on January 2, 2008, updated 

on October 17, 2008 and updated again 

on July 23, 2009 as program 

developments warranted. 

TSA plans to test, and implement as 

appropriate, Automatic Target 

Recognition software for AIT machines 

that display anomalies on a generic 

figure, as opposed to displaying the 

image of a specific individual’s body. 

Since the technology uses a generic 

image that provides greater privacy 

protections for the individual being 

screened, systems using Automatic 

Target Recognition will not isolate the 

operator viewing the image from the 

individual being screened. Individuals 

will continue to be given the option of 

undergoing a physical screening as an 

alternative to AIT screening. 

System: DHS/USCIS/PIA–034 H–1B 

Visa Cap Registration Notice of 

Proposed Rule Making (NPRM). 

Component: U.S. Citizenship and 

Immigration Services (USCIS). 

Date of approval: January 28, 2011. 

USCIS is proposing to amend its 

regulation governing petitions by U.S. 

employers seeking H–1B nonimmigrant 

worker status for aliens subject to 

annual numerical limitations or exempt 

from numerical limitations by having 

earned a U.S. master’s or higher degree 

(also referred to as the ‘‘65,000 cap’’ and 

‘‘20,000 cap’’ respectively, or the ‘‘cap’’ 

collectively). Under the proposed rule, 

USCIS would establish H–1B Cap 

Registration, a mandatory registration 

process, to streamline the 

administration of H–1B petitions filed 

by employers. This PIA is being 

conducted because the H–1B Cap 

Registration NPRM proposes a change to 

USCIS’ collection of PII. 

System: DHS/OPS/PIA–009 National 

Operations Center (NOC) Tracker and 

Senior Watch Officer Logs. 

Component: Office of Operations 

Coordination and Planning (OPS). 

Date of approval: February 3, 2011. 

NOC in the Office of Operations 

Coordination and Planning (OPS) 

operates the NOC Tracker Log and the 

Senior Watch Officer (SWO) Log. The 

SWO Log is a synopsis of all significant 

information received and actions taken 

during a shift by the SWO. The NOC 

Tracker Log is a repository of all NOC 

responses to threats or incidents and 

significant activities that require a NOC 

tracking number. OPS has conducted 

this PIA because both the SWO Log and 

NOC Tracker Log may contain PII 

associated with an administrative note 

or a watch desk Request for Information. 

System: DHS/USCIS/PIA–035 Migrant 

Information Tracking System. 

Component: U.S. Citizenship and 

Immigration Services (USCIS). 

Date of approval: February 3, 2011. 

USCIS developed the Migrant 

Information Tracking System (MITS) to 

serve as a centralized repository for 

information relating to migrants 

interdicted at sea. MITS facilitates 

USCIS’ ability to record and track 

information pertaining to a migrant’s 

illicit maritime migration into the 

United States and respond to 

information requests regarding 

interdicted migrants from Members of 

Congress inquiring on behalf of a family 

member of the migrant. USCIS 

conducted this PIA because MITS 

collects, uses, and disseminates PII. 

System: DHS/ALL/PIA–034 Medical 

Credentials Management System. 

Component: Office of Health Affairs 

(OHA). 

Date of approval: February 10, 2011. 

DHS Office of Health Affairs (OHA) is 

instituting a centralized medical 

credentialing system for DHS employees 

that provide health care services as part 

of their job and the Components’ 

mission or incidental to their ongoing 

operations. The purpose of the program 

is to formalize a process for verifying 

DHS employee and/or applicant 

qualifications, licensure information, 

and relevant health care provider data. 

In accordance with the DHS Directive 

248–01, Medical Quality Management, 

the Assistant Secretary for Health 

Affairs and Chief Medical Officer 

(ASHA/CMO) is responsible for 

developing a centralized credentials 

management system for approving 

credentials for DHS employee medical 

care providers. The credentialing 


jdjones on DSK8KYBLC1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 103 / Friday, May 27, 2011 / Notices 30953 

process will include the collection of 

and maintenance of information related 

to professional education, state license 

number(s), national registry 

certification, board certification, 

training and other pertinent information 

related to medical care practices. OHA 

conducted this PIA because the medical 

credentials management system will 

collect and maintain PII on DHS 

medical care providers. 

System: DHS/USCG/PIA–015 

Merchant Mariner Licensing and 

Documentation System (MMLD). 

Component: United States Coast 

Guard. 

Date of approval: March 1, 2011. 

USCG owns and operates the MMLD 

System. The USCG uses MMLD to 

manage the issuance of credentials to 

Merchant Mariners and process 

merchant mariner applications; to 

produce merchant mariner credentials; 

to track the who of merchant mariner 

credentials issued by the USCG; to track 

the status of merchant mariners with 

respect to service, training, credentials, 

and qualifications, related to the 

operation of commercial vessels; to 

qualify merchant mariners for benefits 

and services administered by other 

agencies; and to perform merchant 

mariner call-ups related to national 

security. The records include the 

credential, background check, and 

medical status on each U.S. Mariner and 

World War II Merchant Mariner 

Veteran. USCG has conducted this PIA 

because MMLD collects and uses PII. 

System: DHS/S&T/PIA–021 Cell All 

Demonstration. 

Component: Science and Technology 

(S&T). 

Date of approval: March 2, 2011. 

The Cell All project is a research, 

development, testing and evaluation 

effort funded by the Homeland Security 

Advanced Research Projects Agency in 

the DHS S&T Directorate. Cell All is an 

environmental surveillance system that 

uses a typical cell phone as a platform 

for a sensor system to detect harmful 

chemical substances and transmit 

critical information, including location 

data, to first responder and other related 

monitoring agencies. With the sensors 

suite developed and fitted on a cell 

phone, S&T will conduct a 

demonstration of the prototype system 

using research-owned devices. While no 

PII will be collected during the 

demonstration, S&T is conducting a PIA 

to address the privacy impact of the 

transmission of location data using the 

prototype. 

System: DHS/ALL/PIA–035 Nebraska 

Avenue Complex CCTV System. 

Component: Management. 

Date of approval: March 2, 2011. 

The DHS, Office of the Chief Security 

Officer (OCSO), Physical Access 

Security Division (PHYSD) operates the 

Physical Access Control System (PACS). 

PACS is designed to coordinate access 

control, intrusion detection, and video 

surveillance at DHS Headquarters (HQ) 

facilities in the National Capital Region 

(NCR), primarily the Nebraska Avenue 

Complex (NAC). This PIA will focus 

exclusively on the video surveillance 

function within PACS known as the 

Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) 

system at the NAC. The OCSO has 

conducted this PIA to analyze PII that 

the video surveillance function within 

PACS collects, uses, and maintains. 

The NAC CCTV system is a videoonly recording system installed at NAC. 

The NAC CCTV system does not have 

audio recording capability. The purpose 

of the system is to enable OCSO PHYSD 

and its Force Protection Branch 

personnel, including security guards, 

the ability to obtain current state visual 

information as well as information on or 

related to a security-related incident 

that is happening or has happened and 

to deter criminal activities. 

System: DHS/USCIS/PIA–036 E– 

Verify Self Check Service. 

Component: USCIS. 

Date of approval: March 3, 2011. 

USCIS Verification Division has 

developed a new service called E–Verify 

Self Check. The E–Verify Self Check 

service is voluntary and available to any 

individual who wants to check his own 

work authorization status prior to 

employment and facilitate correction of 

potential errors in federal databases that 

provide inputs into the E–Verify 

process. When an individual uses the E– 

Verify Self Check service he will be 

notified that either (1) his information 

matched the information contained in 

federal databases and would be deemed 

work-authorized, or (2) his information 

was not matched to information 

contained in federal databases which 

would be considered a ‘‘mismatch.’’ If 

the information was a mismatch, he will 

be given instructions on where and how 

to correct his records. USCIS conducted 

this PIA because E–Verify Self Check 

will collect and use PII. 

System: DHS/ALL/PIA–036 DHSwide Use of Unidirectional Social 

Media Applications Communications 

and Outreach. 

Component: DHS Wide. 

Date of approval: March 8, 2011. 

Unidirectional social media 

applications encompass a range of 

applications, often referred to as applets 

or widgets that allow users to view 

relevant, real-time content from 

predetermined sources. DHS or 

Department intends to use 

unidirectional social media tools 

including desktop widgets, mobile apps, 

podcasts, audio and video streams, 

Short Message Service texting, and 

Really Simple Syndication feeds, among 

others, for external relations 

(communications and outreach) and to 

disseminate timely content to the public 

about DHS initiatives, public safety, and 

other official activities and one-way 

notifications. These dynamic 

communication tools broaden the 

Department’s ability to disseminate 

content and provide the public multiple 

channels to receive and view content. 

The public will continue to have the 

option of obtaining comparable content 

and services through the Department’s 

official Web sites and other official 

means. This PIA analyzes the 

Department’s use of unidirectional 

social media applications. This PIA 

does not cover users sending content to 

the Department. Additionally, this PIA 

will describe the PII and the extremely 

limited circumstances under which the 

Department will have access to PII, how 

it will use the PII, what PII is retained 

and shared, and how individuals can 

gain access to their PII. Appendix A of 

this PIA will serve as a listing, to be 

updated periodically, of DHS 

unidirectional social media 

applications, approved by the Chief 

Privacy Officer, that follow the 

requirements and analytical 

understanding outlined in this PIA. The 

unidirectional social media applications 

listed in Appendix A are subject to 

Privacy Compliance Reviews by the 

DHS Privacy Office. 

System: DHS/ALL/PIA–037 

SharePoint. 

Component: DHS Wide. 

Date of approval: March 22, 2011. 

DHS is developing SharePoint as a 

Service (SharePoint), which will be an 

enterprise offering available to all 

organizations within the Department. 

This platform will serve as an enterprise 

collaboration and communication 

solution, eliminating additional 

investments in duplicative collaborative 

technologies, leveraging economies of 

scale, and connecting separate 

organizations through the use of the 

same platform in an integrated 

environment. DHS is conducting this 

PIA because PII may be collected and 

stored in the SharePoint environment. 

This PIA sets out the minimum standard 

for SharePoint privacy and security 

requirements; DHS components may 

build more detailed controls and 

technical enhancements into their 

respective sites. 

System: DHS/ALL/PIA038 Integrated 

Security Management System (ISMS). 

Component: Office of Security. 


jdjones on DSK8KYBLC1PROD with NOTICES
30954 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 103 / Friday, May 27, 2011 / Notices 

Date of approval: March 23, 2011. 

ISMS is a web-based case 

management tool designed to support 

the lifecycle of DHS personnel security, 

administrative security, and classified 

visit management programs. Classified 

visit management is an administrative 

process in which an individual’s 

security clearance information is 

exchanged between agencies to 

document an individual’s security 

clearance level. Personnel security 

records maintained in ISMS include 

suitability and security clearance 

investigations which contain 

information related to background 

checks, investigations, and access 

determinations. For administrative 

security and classified visit management 

ISMS contains records associated with 

security container/document tracking, 

classified contract administration, and 

incoming and outgoing classified visitor 

tracking. The system is a DHS 

enterprise-wide application that 

replaces the Personnel Security 

Activities Management System, which 

was decommissioned on May 31, 2010. 

System: DHS/ICE/PIA–026 Federal 

Financial Management System (FFMS). 

Component: ICE. 

Date of approval: March 23, 2011. 

FFMS is a web-based, workflow 

management and financial transaction 

system that provides core financial 

management functions for ICE and five 

other components within DHS: USCIS, 

S&T, the National Protection Programs 

Directorate (NPPD), Office of Health 

Affairs (OHA), and DHS Office of 

Management (MGMT). FFMS is used to 

create and maintain a record of each 

allocation, commitment, obligation, 

travel advance and accounts receivable 

issued. The system contains personally 

identifiable information (PII) about DHS 

employees, contractors/vendors, 

customers and members of the public 

that participate in DHS programs. ICE is 

conducting this PIA because FFMS 

collects and maintains PII. This PIA 

focuses on ICE’s collection and use of 

PII, and each component will publish 

appendices to this PIA as required to 

describe their collection and use of PII 

in FFMS. 

System: DHS/ICE/PIA–027 ICE 

Subpoena System. 

Component: ICE. 

Date of approval: March 29, 2011. 

The ICE Subpoena System (ISS) is 

owned and operated by the Office of 

Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) 

within U.S. ICE, a component of the 

DHS. ISS automates the process of 

generating, logging, and tracking 

subpoenas and summonses that ICE 

issues in furtherance of its 

investigations into violations of customs 

and immigration laws. It also supports 

the generation of Form I–9 notices, 

which notify employers that ICE intends 

to inspect their records to determine if 

they have completed the required 

employment eligibility forms for their 

employees. ICE is conducting this PIA 

because ISS contains PII about the 

individuals to whom these subpoenas, 

summonses, and notices are directed as 

well as the individuals who are the 

subjects of these legal process 

documents. 

System: DHS/MGMT/PIA–005 

Foreign National Visitor Management 

System (FNVMS). 

Component: Office of Security. 

Date of approval: March 30, 2011. 

FNVMS, a module hosted on the DHS 

ISMS information technology platform, 

is a risk assessment tool that provides 

the DHS with an application to log, 

track, and review non-U.S. Persons 

(foreign nationals) who visit or perform 

work at DHS facilities.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background and Purpose 

Section 70110 of title 46, United 

States Code, enacted as part of section 

102(a) of the Maritime Transportation 

Security Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107–295, 

Nov. 25, 2002) authorizes the Secretary 

of Homeland Security to impose 

conditions of entry on vessels 

requesting entry into the United States 

arriving from ports that are not 

maintaining effective anti-terrorism 

measures. It also requires public notice 

of the ineffective anti-terrorism 

measures. The Secretary has delegated 

to the Coast Guard authority to carry out 

the provisions of this section. See 

Department of Homeland Security 

Delegation No. 0170.1, sec. 97. Previous 

notices have imposed or removed 

conditions of entry on vessels arriving 

from certain countries, and those 

conditions of entry and the countries 

they pertain to remain in effect unless 

modified by this notice. 

The Coast Guard has determined that 

ports in the Union of the Comoros and 

the Republic of Cote d’Ivoire are not 

maintaining effective anti-terrorism 

measures. To make these 

determinations, the Coast Guard 

International Port Security (IPS) 

Program conducted an initial visit to the 

Union of the Comoros in November 

2009, and conducted an initial visit to 

the Republic of Cote d’Ivoire in January 

2010. In our investigations of both 

countries, significant deficiencies were 

found in the legal regime, designated 

authority oversight, access control, and 

cargo control. In September 2010, the 

Deputy Commandant for Operations 

made findings that effective antiterrorism measures were not in place in 

the ports of Comoros and Cote d’Ivoire. 

Inclusive to these determinations is an 

assessment that the Union of the
