3), and dengue type 4 virus (DENV–4) are most important in terms of human morbidity and geographic distribution. Dengue viruses cause dengue outbreaks and major epidemics in most tropical and subtropical areas where Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are abundant.

A safe and effective vaccine against dengue is currently not available.
Passive immunization with monoclonal antibodies from non-human primates or humans represents a possible alternative to vaccines for prevention of illness caused by dengue virus. This invention claims fully human monoclonal
antibodies that bind and neutralize dengue type 1, 2, 3 and 4 viruses. It also claims fragments of such antibodies and nucleic acids encoding the antibodies of the invention as well as prophylactic, therapeutic and diagnostic methods employing the antibodies and nucleic
acids of the invention.

Potential Commercial Applications:

• Prophylaxis/therapy against dengue serotypes 1, 2, 3, and 4.

• Dengue diagnostics. Competitive Advantages:

• Antibodies are cross-reactive with all four serotypes of dengue.

• Antibodies are fully human. Development Stage:

• Pre-clinical.

• In vitro data.

Typhoid-Plague Bivalent Vaccine

Description of Technology: Yersinia pestis ( Y. pestis) bacteria is the causative agent of plague, typically transmitted from animals to humans by
the bite of an infected flea. Y. pestis infection of the lungs leads to pneumonic plague, which is highly contagious and generally fatal. Y. pestis is a potential bioterrorist threat agent for which no vaccine yet exists. This invention claims the generation and development of a candidate oral vaccine against plague. The vaccine consists of a synthetic gene construct that expresses a Y. pestis F1–V fusion antigen linked to a secretion signal, resulting in the production of large amounts of the F1–V antigen. The F1– V synthetic gene fusion is housed within Ty21a, an attenuated typhoid
fever strain that is licensed for human
use as a live oral bacterial vaccine. Ty21a serves as a carrier to deliver the F1–V fusion antigens of the plague bacteria; the combined F1–V fusion in the Ty21a carrier has been shown to stimulate a robust immune response in mice. The possibility of combining the oral plague vaccine of this invention
with FDA’s candidate oral anthrax
vaccine exists and would result in an easy-to-administer oral delivery system
to streamline administration of the vaccine to large numbers of recipients in emergency situations.

Potential Commercial Applications: Plague vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics.

Competitive Advantages:

• Vector is well-characterized.

• Simple manufacturing process.

• Potential low-cost vaccine. Development Stage:

• Pre-clinical.

• In vitro data available.

• In vivo data available (animal).

**AGENCY :**  Department of Homeland Security, Privacy Office.

**ACTION :**  Notice of Privacy Act System of
Records.

**SUMMARY :**  In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, the Department of Homeland Security proposes to update and reissue the Department of Homeland Security system of records titled, ‘‘Department of Homeland Security/U.S. Customs and
Border Protection—002 Global Enrollment System’’ system of records. This system of records allows the Department of Homeland Security/U.S.
Customs and Border Protection to
collect and maintain records on individuals who voluntarily provide personally identifiable information to
U.S. Customs and Border Protection in return for enrollment in a program that will make them eligible for expedited processing at designated U.S. border ports of entry, including all trusted traveler and registered traveler programs. This system of records notice is being re-published to update the categories of records, authorities, purposes, routine uses, retrievability, retention and disposal, notification procedures, record sources, and exemptions sections of the system.Additionally, this notice includes nonsubstantive changes to simplify the formatting and text of the previously published notice. The Global Enrollment System will now maintain law enforcement information as part of the vetting results, therefore the Department of Homeland Security is issuing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, to exempt this system of records from certain provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended,
elsewhere in the Federal Register. This updated system will be included in the Department of Homeland Security’s inventory of record systems.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 
I. Background

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) proposes to update and reissue a current DHS system of records titled, ‘‘DHS/CBP–002 Global Enrollment System (GES).’’

Global Entry (GE) is the DHS/CBP program that enables CBP to expedite the inspection and security process for
lower risk travelers and allows more scrutiny for those travelers who present an unknown risk. GE, previously a pilot program, is now a permanent trusted traveler program (77 FR 5681 (Feb. 6, 2012)). Under GE, expedited processing
into the United States and certain foreign countries will be expanded through a growing number of participating U.S. and foreign international airports and foreign partnerships. Through such partnerships, U.S. citizens and citizens of certain foreign countries will be able to apply for expedited processing at their respective airports.

CBP has signed a number of joint statements with foreign partners that provide the basic framework for allowing U.S. citizens and citizens of the applicable foreign countries to apply for expedited processing at their respective airports. The general purpose of the joint statement is to offer expedited processing to U.S. citizens and the citizens of the foreign country that is party to that joint statement, based on a mutually determined set of vetting criteria and standards. CBP continues to work with government
border authorities in various countries to create this growing international network in which, once individuals are screened and deemed trusted by the authorities in their own country, the other country in the alliance will accept them in their respective national trusted traveler programs.

Depending on the nature of the agreement with the foreign partner,
DHS/CBP will maintain and share different personally identifiable
information. In certain instances the joint statements commit to allowing citizens of foreign countries to apply for GE after the appropriate Interconnectivity Service Agreement (ISA) has been implemented. In other instances, the joint statements commit to sharing information about citizens who apply to be members of both countries’ trusted traveler program after the appropriate ISA has been implemented. As part of the procedures for implementing a joint statement and adding foreign partners to GE, CBP and each foreign partner are executing parallel protocols that incorporate privacy protections. A more in-depth discussion of the arrangements by country is made available in DHS/CBP/ PIA—002(b) GES Privacy Impact Assessment and Appendix A ‘‘CBP Global Entry Expansion: Joint Statements,’’ which is being published in conjunction with this system of records and will be updated with
relevant information.

In addition to new foreign partners, CBP has consolidated the registered traveler programs under GES to include the Small Vessel Reporting System (SVRS) and the Decal and Transponder Online Procurement System (DTOPS). SVRS, as an enhancement to the Local Boater Option (LBO) pilot program,
allows individuals with advance submission and CBP approval of float plans to use a designated telephone line to notify a CBP officer of their arrival to the United States. DTOPS is a registered traveler program that allows individuals to purchase, renew, or transfer user fees related to the transponders/Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags for
their commercial vehicles or to the decals for their private aircraft or vessels in advance of crossing a U.S. border.

This system of records notice is being re-published to update the categories of records, authorities, purposes, routine uses, retrievability, retention and disposal, notification procedures, record sources, and Privacy Act exemptions for this system of records. Specifically, DHS is updating the category of records to clarify that GES maintains limited law enforcement information, consisting of
the case number references to law enforcement databases used to support or deny the membership decision for GES trusted traveler programs, as well as the membership decision for trusted traveler programs with foreign partners. These results were previously covered by the DHS/CBP—011 TECS SORN (73 FR 77778 (Dec. 19, 2008.)) In cases when the applicant has opted to share information with a foreign government trusted traveler program, DHS/CBP is also retaining other foreign governments’ decisions either to approve or deny an application, pursuant to the applicable joint

statements.

The authority for GES derives from
CBP’s mandate to secure the borders of the United States, and to facilitate legitimate trade and travel. The statutes that permit and define GES include:

• Section 7208 of the Intelligence
Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (IRTPA), as amended, 8 U.S.C. 1365b(k);

• Section 215 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended, 8 U.S.C.

1185;

• Section 402 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended, 6 U.S.C. 202;

• Section 404 of the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Reform Act of 2002, 8 U.S.C. 1753; and

• Section 433 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1433.

The Regulations that permit and
define GES include Parts 103 and 235 of
Title 8 of the Code of Federal Regulations. See, especially, 8 CFR

103.2, 103.7, 103.16, 235.1, 235.2, 235.7, and 235.12. Pursuant to the Independent Offices Appropriations Act of 1952, 31 U.S.C. 9701, individuals seeking to enroll in trusted traveler or registered traveler programs must pay a fee when they apply or renew their membership. See 8 CFR 103.7(b)(1)(ii)(M).

The purposes of GES have been simplified to reflect that this system collects information, in advance, from recurring travelers so that DHS and CBP can assess applicants’ eligibility for enrollment in a GES-supported trusted traveler and registered traveler

programs.

DHS changed the order of routine uses to be consistent with its practice
across all DHS SORNs and for ease of use by DHS personnel. This change affects the following uses, which were not substantially changed: Former routine use A is now routine use I;


### 3443 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 11 / Wednesday, January 16, 2013 / Notices

former routine use B is now routine use G; former routine use C is now routine use B; former routine use D is now routine use C; former routine use E is now routine use A; and former routine

use G is now routine use D.

This SORN update includes the following substantive changes to routine uses: In routine use F, the sentence has been added, ‘‘Individuals provided
information under this routine use are subject to the same Privacy Act requirements and limitations on disclosure as are applicable to DHS officers and employees.’’ In routine use G, reference to ‘‘organizations that are lawfully engaged in collecting intelligence [* * *] to carry out intelligence responsibilities’’ has been removed because of redundancy.
Routine use H has been added to provide additional transparency on the sharing with foreign governments for trusted traveler programs and only at
the behest of the individual. Routine use
L has been added to allow the Department to share information with the public when the interests of the public outweigh those of the individual and only after approval by the DHS Chief Privacy Officer in consultation
with counsel.

Sharing GES information with partnering foreign countries is
consistent with the routine uses proposed in this System of Records Notice (SORN), which allows for disclosure to foreign government agencies to elicit information necessary to make decisions on applications. Pursuant to CBP’s reciprocal joint statements, CBP will share biographic GE application data and vetting results in the form of a ‘‘pass/fail’’ transmission of U.S. citizens with these foreign governments only upon receiving the same type of data from those governments on their citizens who are applying for expedited processing into
the United States. Because of these international information sharingrelationships, CBP is able to make wellinformed decisions on GE applications of citizens from a growing number of

countries.

The retrievability section has been updated to reflect that records may be retrieved by any of the personal identifiers listed in the categories of
records.

The retention and disposal section has been updated to reflect that all GES
data is retained for the duration of an individual’s active membership plus three years after an individual’s membership is no longer active, either as a result of expiration without renewal at the end of a five-year term, as a result of abandonment, or as a result of CBP

termination.

The notification procedures section has been updated to provide notice that individuals may view and edit their information through their online accounts, as well as through the standard procedures under the Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act.

The record source categories have been updated to clarify the records
obtained from the individual and background checks of external law enforcement systems, as well as providing notice that GES collects from membership determinations about trusted traveler applicants from partnering foreign countries.

Participation in these programs is entirely voluntary. Joint Statements with foreign partners establish that each country’s use of GES information for vetting will be consistent with applicable domestic laws and policies. Participants should be aware that when they submit their information to a foreign country, or agree to share their information with a foreign partner, the foreign country uses, maintains, retains,
or disseminates their information in accordance with that foreign country’s laws and privacy protections.

Consistent with DHS’ information sharing mission, information stored in GES may be shared with other DHS components whose personnel have a need to know the information to carry out their national security, law enforcement, immigration, intelligence, or other homeland security functions. In addition, information may be shared with appropriate federal, state, local, tribal, territorial, foreign, or international government agencies
consistent with the routine uses set forth in this system of records notice.

DHS/CBP is simultaneously issuing a notice of proposed rulemaking to exempt portions of the DHS/CBP—002 GES SORN from the Privacy Act requirements. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) of the Privacy Act, law enforcement related records, including the pointer information to other law enforcement databases that support the DHS/CBP membership decision, and the
law enforcement risk assessment worksheet that have been created during the background check and vetting process, are exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3) and (4); (d); (e)(1), (e)(2), (e)(3), (e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(H), (e)(4)(I), (e)(5) and (e)(8); (f); and (g)(1). Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2), records created during the background check and vetting process are exempt from the following provisions of the Privacy Act: 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3); (d); (e)(1), (e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(H), (e)(4)(I); and (f). In addition, when a record contains information from other exempt systems of records, DHS/CBP will claim the same exemptions for that record as are claimed for the original systems of records, and will claim any additional exemptions that this notice
delineates.

CBP will not assert any exemptions with regard to accessing or amending an individual’s application data in a trusted or registered traveler program and/or final membership determination in the trusted traveler programs. However, this data may be shared with law enforcement and/or intelligence agencies pursuant to the routine uses
identified in the GES SORN. The Privacy Act requires that DHS maintain an accounting of such disclosures made pursuant to all routine uses. Disclosing
the fact that a law enforcement and/or intelligence agency has sought particular records may affect ongoing law enforcement activity. As such, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) and (k)(2), DHS will claim an exemption from (c)(3), (e)(8), and (g)(1) of the Privacy Act, as is necessary and appropriate to protect this information. 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. In the Privacy Act, an individual is defined to encompass U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents. 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/ CBP—002 Global Enrollment System (GES).

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), DHS has provided a report of this system of records to the Office of Management and Budget and to Congress.

information can be found at http:// www.dhs.gov/foia under ‘‘Contacts.’’ 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, 245 Murray Drive SW., Building 410, STOP– 0655, Washington, DC 20528.

When seeking records about yourself from this system of records or any other Departmental system of records, your request must conform with the Privacy Act regulations set forth in 6 CFR part 5. You must first verify your identity, meaning that you must provide your full name, current address, and date and place of birth. You must sign your request, and your 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, you 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, you should:

• Explain why you believe the Department would have information on

you;

• Identify which component(s) of the Department you believe may have the information about you;


### 3446 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 11 / Wednesday, January 16, 2013 / Notices

• Specify when you believe 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; and

If your request is seeking records pertaining to another living individual, you must include a statement from that individual certifying his/her agreement for you to access his/her records.

Without the above information, the component(s) may not be able to conduct an effective search, and your request may be denied due to lack of specificity or lack of compliance with applicable regulations.

**RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES :** 

See ‘‘Notification procedure’’ above.

**CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES :** 

See ‘‘Notification procedure’’ above.

**RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES :** 

Records in GES are obtained from the
individual and from external law enforcement systems. The main database checked during the vetting process, before individuals will be enrolled in any trusted traveler program, is TECS, which contains historical and enforcement data on travelers, and provides a gateway to other sources of
data. These other sources include the Terrorist Screening Database, FBI criminal history, and National Crime and Information Center outstanding wants/warrants, vehicle and driver’s
license-related data contained in the International Justice and Public Safety Network’s Nlets system, and Department of State alien records, lookouts, and status indicators. Vetting
results are also based on checks of the FBI’s Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System for criminal history and IDENT for immigration
related records. Trusted traveler applicants from partnering foreign countries will have membership
determinations in GES from their home country’s government.

**EXEMPTIONS CLAIMED FOR THE SYSTEM :** 

The Secretary of Homeland Security, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) has exempted the law enforcement related records, including the pointer
information to other law enforcement databases that support the DHS/CBP membership decision, and the law
enforcement risk assessment worksheet that have been created during the background check and vetting process, from the following provisions of the Privacy Act: 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3) and (4); (d); (e)(1), (e)(2), (e)(3), (e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(H), (e)(4)(I), (e)(5) and (e)(8); (f); and (g)(1). Additionally, the Secretary of Homeland Security, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2), has exempted records created during the background check and vetting process from the following provisions of the Privacy Act: 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3); (d); (e)(1), (e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(H),(e)(4)(I); and (f). In addition,
when a record contains information from other exempt systems of records,
DHS/CBP will claim the same exemptions for that record as are claimed for the original systems of records, and will claim any additional exemptions that this notice delineates.

CBP will not assert any exemptions with regard to accessing or amending an individual’s application data in a trusted or registered traveler program and/or final membership determination in the trusted traveler programs. However, this data may be shared with law enforcement and/or intelligence agencies pursuant to the routine uses
identified in the GES SORN. The Privacy Act requires DHS maintain an accounting of such disclosures made pursuant to all routine uses. Disclosing
the fact that a law enforcement and/or intelligence agency has sought particular records may affect ongoing law enforcement activity. As such, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a (j)(2) and (k)(2), DHS will claim an exemption from (c)(3), (e)(8), and (g)(1) of the Privacy Act, as is necessary and appropriate to protect this information.
