Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 36 / Friday, February 22, 2013 / Notices 12337 

agreements without ACHP involvement. 

Execution of an agreement pursuant to 

the prototype PA presumes that DOE 

will conduct its government-togovernment consultation 

responsibilities with federal recognized 

Indian tribes and its Section 106 

consultation requirements with Native 

Hawaiian organizations. If DOE is 

notified that a particular undertaking 

may result in an adverse effect on 

historic properties of religious and 

cultural significance to Indian tribes or 

Native Hawaiian organizations, DOE 

must invite such Indian tribes or Native 

Hawaiian organizations to participate in 

consultation for the affected project. 

Since its designation, DOE has used 

the prototype PA to successfully 

negotiate and execute 44 programmatic 

agreements with SHPOs and state 

agencies receiving DOE OWIP grants. 

DOE’s direct recipients may use the 

executed state agreement developed 

under the prototype PA as well. The 

ACHP provided guidance and technical 

assistance to DOE Project Officers and 

SHPOs during the negotiation and 

subsequent implementation of the 

agreements, for example, assisting in the 

determination of appropriate treatments 

and mitigation for individual projects 

that resulted in adverse effects. 

In the past year, DOE and the ACHP 

have discussed how to extend and build 

upon the program established by the 

prototype PA. As part of this effort, the 

ACHP, with DOE’s participation, hosted 

a series of listening sessions for SHPOs. 

The ACHP will also provide an 

opportunity for SHPOs, tribes, Native 

Hawaiian organizations, and state 

agencies an opportunity to comment. 

The 44 agreements executed under the 

prototype PA have different expiration 

dates. Several of the agreements will 

expire in mid-March 2013. While the 

prototype PA originally proposed a 

three year duration clause for these 

agreements, it is now DOE’s and the 

ACHP’s intention that these agreements 

should extend beyond this three year 

term. 

This Program Comment proposes to 

extend the duration of the existing 44 

agreements executed under the 

prototype PA until December 31, 2020, 

and provide the same duration period 

for any future agreements that may be 

executed under the prototype PA. 

Nothing in this Program Comment 

would alter or modify any other 

provisions of the prototype PA or the 44 

agreements, including the ability of the 

parties to amend or terminate an 

executed agreement prior to the 

expiration date. 

II. Expected Benefits 

As a result of the partnership with 

ACHP and the development and the 

administration of the prototype PA, 

DOE established internal and external 

training; recognized best management 

practices; and utilized DOE guidance 

and directives to ensure that the DOE 

weatherization programs were properly 

implemented in compliance with 

Section 106. The prototype PA 

established review efficiencies and 

protocols which allowed for the grant 

programs to expedite the weatherization 

efforts of the homes of many low 

income individuals across the country, 

as well as assisted communities in 

funding energy efficiency, renewable 

energy, and weatherization projects for 

public buildings such as schools and 

courthouses. Due to the success of the 

prototype PA for DOE’s weatherization 

programs, other departments within 

DOE have sought ACHP’s and OWIP 

staff’s guidance and direction for 

meeting their historic preservation 

compliance responsibilities. 

The proposed Program Comment 

would build upon and extend the 

success of the prototype PA and 

continue the DOE’s program of tailored, 

efficient compliance with Section 106. 

Once the public comments resulting 

from this notice are considered, and 

edits are incorporated as deemed 

appropriate, the ACHP will decide 

whether to issue the Program Comment. 

The ACHP expects to make that 

decision in mid-March 2013. 

III. Text of the Proposed Program 

Comment 

The following is the text of the 

proposed Program Comment: 

I. Establishment and Authority 

This Program Comment was issued by 

the ACHP on March 2013 pursuant to 36 

CFR 800.14(e). 

II. Date of Effect 

This Program Comment went into 

effect on March 2013. 

III. Use of this Program Comment to 

Extend the Duration of the Existing 

Agreements Executed under the DOE 

Prototype PA and for New Agreements 

Executed pursuant to the Prototype PA 

The DOE may continue, through 

December 31, 2020, complying with its 

responsibilities under Section 106 of the 

National Historic Preservation Act for 

its Weatherization Assistance Program 

(WAP), State Energy Program (SEP), and 

Energy Efficiency and Conservation 

Block Grant (EECBG) in the relevant 

States using the 44 agreements currently 

executed, and those to be executed, 

under the ‘‘Prototype Programmatic 

Agreement between the United States 

Department of Energy, the State Energy 

Office and the State Historic 

Preservation Office regarding EECBG, 

SEP and WAP Undertakings,’’ 

designated by the ACHP on February 8, 

2010, regardless of the duration clause 

of those agreements. However, if any of 

those agreements gets terminated under 

its own terms, DOE may no longer use 

it to comply with its Section 106 

responsibilities in the relevant State. 

This will provide continuity in the 

Section 106 review for those 

undertakings covered by the existing 

and any new agreements executed 

under the prototype PA. This Program 

Comment does not alter or modify any 

provisions of the prototype PA or the 44 

executed agreements other than their 

duration clauses. 

IV. Amendment 

The ACHP may amend this Program 

Comment after consulting with DOE, 

NCSHPO, and other parties as 

appropriate, and publishing notice in 

the Federal Register to that effect. 

V. Sunset Clause 

This Program Comment will terminate 

on December 31, 2020, unless it is 

amended to extend the period in which 

it is in effect. 

VI. Termination 

The ACHP may terminate this 

Program Comment by publication of a 

notice in the Federal Register thirty (30) 

days before the termination takes effect. 

Authority: 36 CFR 800.14(e). 

Dated: February 19, 2013.

DHS Web site until April 23, 2013, after 

which they may be obtained by 

contacting the DHS Privacy Office 

(contact information below). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Jonathan R. Cantor, Acting Chief Privacy 

Officer, Department of Homeland 

Security, Washington, DC 20528, or 

email: pia@dhs.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Between 

June 1, 2012, and November 30, 2012, 

the DHS Chief Privacy Officer and 

Acting Chief Privacy Officer approved 

and published thirty-eight PIAs on the 

DHS Privacy Office Web site, 

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

‘‘Privacy Impact Assessments.’’ 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/S&T/PIA–025 Gaming 

System Monitoring and Analysis Effort. 

Component: Science and Technology 

Directorate (S&T). 

Date of approval: June 1, 2012. 

The Gaming System Monitoring and 

Analysis project is a research effort 

funded by the Department’s S&T Cyber 

Security Division to design and develop 

forensic tools for extracting data from 

gaming systems. S&T conducted a PIA 

because gaming systems used in this 

research project may contain personally 

identifiable information (PII). 

System: DHS/CBP/PIA–006(b) 

Automated Targeting System (ATS). 

Component: U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP). 

Date of approval: June 1, 2012. 

As a decision support tool, ATS 

compares traveler, cargo, and 

conveyance information against law 

enforcement, intelligence, and other 

enforcement data using risk-based 

targeting scenarios and assessments. 

This PIA was conducted to notify the 

public about the changes in modules 

and expansion of access to datasets used 

by and stored in ATS. 

This PIA was published in 

conjunction with an updated System of 

Records Notice, 77 FR 30297 (May 22, 

2012). 

System: DHS/CBP/PIA–010 

Analytical Framework for Intelligence 

(AFI). 

Component: CBP. 

Date of approval: June 1, 2012. 

AFI enhances DHS’s ability to 

identify, apprehend, and prosecute 

individuals who pose a potential law 

enforcement or security risk, and aids in 

the enforcement of customs and 

immigration laws, and other laws 

enforced by DHS at the border. AFI is 

used for the purposes of: (1) Identifying 

individuals, associations, or 

relationships that may pose a potential 

law enforcement or security risk, 

targeting cargo that may present a threat, 

and assisting intelligence product users 

in the field in preventing the illegal 

entry of people and goods, or 

identifying other violations of law; (2) 

conducting additional research on 

persons and/or cargo to understand 

whether there are patterns or trends that 

could assist in the identification of 

potential law enforcement or security 

risks; and (3) sharing finished 

intelligence products developed in 

connection with the above purposes 

with DHS employees who have a need 

to know in the performance of their 

official duties and who have appropriate 

clearances or permissions. Finished 

intelligence products are tactical, 

operational, and strategic law 

enforcement intelligence products that 

have been reviewed and approved for 

sharing with finished intelligence 

product users and authorities outside of 

DHS, pursuant to routine uses in the 

published Privacy Act System of 

Records Notice. 

In order to mitigate privacy and 

security risks associated with the 

deployment of AFI, CBP has built 

technical safeguards into AFI and 

developed a governance process that 

includes the operational components of 

CBP, the oversight functions of the CBP 

Privacy Officer and Office of Chief 

Counsel, and the Office of Information 

and Technology. Additionally, the DHS 

Privacy Office provides oversight for the 

program. 

This PIA was necessary because AFI 

accesses and stores PII retrieved from 

DHS, other federal agency, and 

commercially available databases. 

System: DHS/FEMA/PIA–027 

Accounting Package (ACCPAC). 

Component: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA). 

Date of approval: June 8, 2012. 

FEMA, Office of the Chief Financial 

Officer, Debt Establishment Unit, owns 

and operates the ACCPAC application. 

ACCPAC is a commercial-off-the-shelf 

product that assists FEMA Accounts 

Receivable personnel in tracking, 

monitoring, and managing debts owed 

to the Agency. FEMA conducted this 

PIA because ACCPAC collects, uses, 

maintains, retrieves, and disseminates 

PII, including Employer Identification 

Numbers and Social Security Numbers, 

to perform its tasks. 

System: DHS/FEMA/PIA–027 

National Emergency Management 

Information System—Individual 

Assistance (NEMIS–IA) Web-based and 

Client-based Modules. 

Component: FEMA. 

Date of approval: June 29, 2012. 

FEMA, Office of Response and 

Recovery, Recovery Directorate, and 

National Processing Service Center 

Division operate the National 

Emergency Management Information 

System (NEMIS) Individual Assistance 

(IA) system. NEMIS–IA supports 

FEMA’s recovery mission under the 

Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and 

Emergency Assistance Act, Pub. L. 93– 

288, as amended, by processing 

information obtained from disaster 

recovery assistance applications via the 

Disaster Assistance Improvement 

Program/Disaster Assistance Call Center 

system. NEMIS–IA, which consists of 

both client-based and web-based 

modules, also utilizes business rules to 

detect and prevent ‘‘duplication of 

benefits.’’ FEMA conducted this PIA 

because NEMIS–IA collects, uses, 

maintains, retrieves, and disseminates 

the PII of applicants to FEMA’s disaster 

recovery individual assistance 

programs. 

System: DHS/FEMA/PIA–026 

Operational Data Store (ODS) and 

Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) 

systems. 

Component: FEMA. 

Date of approval: June 29, 2012. 

FEMA and the Office of the Chief 

Information Officer own and operate the 

ODS and EDW systems. ODS and EDW 

replicate source system-provided data 

from other operational FEMA systems 

and provide a simplified way of 

producing Agency reports for internal 

use as well for external stakeholders. 

These reports relate to FEMA mission 

activities, such as FEMA’s readiness to 

deploy, disaster response, internal 

operations, and oversight. Reports are 

based on the needs of the particular 

program requirements or missionrelated activity. Each source system has 

a separate data mart within the ODS to 

ensure that information is not 

commingled and that the source system 

rules for use are followed within the 

ODS. Data marts allow for the 

manipulation of data while at the same 

time ensuring that the exact same data 

within the source system remains static. 

FEMA conducted this PIA because ODS 

and EDW collect, use, maintain, 

retrieve, and disseminate PII pulled 

from the source systems. 

System: DHS/FEMA/PIA–025 Hazard 

Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) 

System. 

Component: FEMA. 


sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 36 / Friday, February 22, 2013 / Notices 12339 

Date of approval: June 29, 2012. 

FEMA’s Federal Insurance and 

Mitigation Administration (FIMA) 

operates the HMGP system. The HMGP 

system is a grant application and 

management system. FEMA conducted 

this PIA because the FEMA FIMA 

HMGP system may collect, use, 

maintain, retrieve, and disseminate the 

PII of grantees or sub-grantees as well as 

the PII of individual property owners 

associated with the grants or sub-grants. 

System: DHS/ALL/PIA–042 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS) Closed-Circuit Television 

(CCTV). 

Component: DHS-wide. 

Date of approval: July 18, 2012. 

DHS and its components deploy a 

number of CCTV systems throughout 

the Department. DHS’ CCTV systems are 

used to obtain real-time and recorded 

visual information in and around 

federal worksites and facilities to aid in 

crime prevention and criminal 

prosecution, enhance officer safety, 

secure physical access, promote cost 

savings, and assist in terrorism 

investigation and terrorism prevention. 

DHS conducted this PIA because these 

systems have the ability to capture 

images of people, license plates, and 

other visual information within range of 

the cameras. This PIA replaced existing 

CCTV PIAs. Those PIAs were retired 

with the publication of this PIA and are 

listed in an appendix. 

System: DHS/ICE/PIA–010(a) The 

National Child Victim Identification 

System (NCVIS). 

Component: U.S. Immigration and 

Customs Enforcement (ICE). 

Date of approval: July 18, 2012. 

NCVIS is owned by ICE, Homeland 

Security Investigations (HSI), and is an 

application that assists federal, state, 

local, and international law enforcement 

agencies, INTERPOL, and other 

supporting organizations, such as the 

National Center for Missing and 

Exploited Children (hereafter, 

authorized partners) in the investigation 

and prosecution of child exploitation 

crimes, specifically those involving 

images of child sexual exploitation. 

NCVIS maintains a repository of digital 

images of child exploitation seized and/ 

or submitted to ICE for comparison by 

law enforcement agencies. These images 

may capture the faces or other 

identifying features of the victims and 

violators involved in these crimes. HSI 

is expanding the scope of system 

information that is shared with 

authorized partners that maintain their 

own databases of images related to child 

exploitation crimes for the purposes of 

identifying the child victims and 

supporting law enforcement 

investigations and prosecutions of these 

crimes. This expanded sharing is 

intended to allow law enforcement 

personnel to use these images during 

investigations to identify and rescue 

child victims as well as to identify and 

prosecute the perpetrators of these 

crimes. HSI is also expanding the range 

of images shared with law enforcement 

agencies that have requested a matching 

report of an image submitted for NCVIS 

comparison. The PIA for NCVIS was 

originally published on August 21, 

2009. Because HSI is expanding the 

scope of NCVIS information that is 

shared with authorized partners, an 

update to the NCVIS PIA was required. 

System: DHS/NPPD/PIA–021(a) Joint 

Cybersecurity Services Program Defense 

Industrial Base (DIB)—Enhanced 

Cybersecurity Services (DECS). 

Component: National Protection and 

Programs Directorate (NPPD). 

Date of approval: July 18, 2012. 

The Joint Cybersecurity Services Pilot 

(JCSP) is the Department’s voluntary 

information sharing initiative with the 

Department of Defense (DOD) and 

participating commercial companies. 

NPPD is updating the DHS/NPPD/PIA– 

021 National Cyber Security Division 

Joint Cybersecurity Services Pilot PIA 

published on January 13, 2012, to reflect 

the establishment of the JCSP as an 

ongoing permanent program (now 

known as the Joint Cybersecurity 

Services Program (JCSP)). The purpose 

of the program is to enhance the 

cybersecurity of participating critical 

infrastructure entities through 

information sharing partnerships with 

the critical infrastructure organization 

or their Commercial Service Provider 

(CSP). The first phase of the JCSP will 

focus on the cyber protection of the 

Defense Industrial Base (DIB) companies 

that are participating in the DoD’s Cyber 

Security/Information Assurance (CS/IA) 

Program. This sub-program is known as 

the DIB Enhanced Cybersecurity 

Services (DECS). The JCSP may also be 

used to provide equivalent protection to 

participating Federal civilian agencies 

pending deployment of EINSTEIN 

intrusion prevention capabilities. 

System: DHS/CBP/PIA–007(b) 

Electronic System for Travel 

Authorization (ESTA). 

Component: CBP. 

Date of approval: July 18, 2012. 

CBP published this update to the PIA 

for ESTA, last updated July 18, 2011. 

ESTA is a web-based application and 

screening system used to determine 

whether certain aliens are eligible to 

travel to the United States under the 

Visa Waiver Program. CBP conducted 

this updated PIA to evaluate the privacy 

impact of including the Internet 

Protocol address associated with a 

submitted ESTA application for vetting 

purposes, as well as to evaluate the 

privacy impact of various updates to the 

ESTA System of Records Notice, 

including updates and clarifications to 

the routine uses and a new routine use 

permitting the sharing of information in 

connection with judicial proceedings. 

System: DHS/TSA/PIA–037 

Automated Wait Time (AWT). 

Component: Transportation Security 

Administration (TSA). 

Date of approval: July 22, 2012. 

TSA will test and deploy systems 

automating the collection of information 

to calculate passenger average wait time 

in the checkpoint queue. TSA’s AWT 

system utilizes information broadcast 

from Bluetooth®-enabled devices 

carried by individuals in the general 

checkpoint queuing area to calculate 

wait times and deploy resources, as 

appropriate, to reduce delays in 

checkpoint queues. In the interest of 

transparency to the public, this PIA was 

conducted pursuant to Section 222 of 

the Homeland Security Act to assess 

privacy risk from the AWT system. In 

order to ensure that AWT systems 

sustain and do not erode privacy 

protections, TSA developed and 

implemented processes that give effect 

to the Fair Information Practice 

Principles while generating statistical 

data used for improving checkpoint 

operations. 

System: DHS/CBP/PIA–012 CBP 

Portal (E3) to ENFORCE/IDENT. 

Component: CBP. 

Date of approval: July 25, 2012. 

CBP has established E3, the CBP 

portal to U.S. Immigration and Customs 

Enforcement’s Immigration and 

Enforcement Operational Records 

System, Enforcement Integrated 

Database and US–VISIT’s Automated 

Biometric Identification System 

(IDENT), to collect and transmit data 

related to law enforcement activities. E3 

collects and transmits biographic, 

encounter, and biometric data 

including, but not limited to, 

fingerprints for identification and 

verification of individuals encountered 

at the border for CBP’s law enforcement 

and immigration mission. In addition to 

the collection of fingerprints, beginning 

at the end of July 2012, the E3 portal 

began a six-week pilot program to 

collect iris scans of individuals 

apprehended by CBP Border Patrol at 

the McAllen, Texas, Border Patrol 

Station. Collection of iris scans provides 

the capability to capture biometric data 

from individuals if their fingerprints 

cannot be obtained, and also to 

biometrically compare and authenticate 

an individual’s identity. In different 


sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
12340 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 36 / Friday, February 22, 2013 / Notices 

operational environments, iris scans can 

be captured more quickly than 

fingerprints, are as or more reliable in 

providing a unique biometric, do not 

involve the touching of the subject with 

respect to those cultures for whom such 

contact poses a concern, and require 

less storage capacity and transmission 

bandwidth than fingerprints. This PIA 

was conducted because E3 requires the 

collection of PII. 

System: DHS/ICE/PIA–015(e) 

Enforcement Integrated Database (EID)— 

EAGLE. 

Component: ICE. 

Date of approval: July 25, 2012. 

ICE has established a new subsystem 

within EID called EID Arrest Guide for 

Law Enforcement (EAGLE). EAGLE is a 

booking application used by ICE law 

enforcement officers to process the 

biometric and biographic information of 

individuals arrested by ICE for criminal 

violations of law and administrative 

violations of the Immigration and 

Nationality Act. Once fully deployed, 

EAGLE will replace the existing EID 

booking applications, the Enforcement 

Apprehension and Booking Module, 

Mobile IDENT, and WebIDENT, and 

will perform the identical functions of 

those applications as described below 

and in the EID PIA. EAGLE will also 

forge a new connection to the 

Department of Defense’s (DOD) 

Automated Biographic Information 

System (ABIS) and permit the 

comparison of the fingerprints of foreign 

nationals arrested by ICE with the 

DOD’s information in ABIS. This PIA 

update was conducted to provide public 

notice of the operation of the EAGLE 

booking system and its interconnection 

to the DOD ABIS database. 

System: DHS/OPS/PIA–008 

Homeland Security Information 

Network R3 User Accounts (HSIN). 

Component: Operations Coordination 

and Planning (OPS). 

Date of approval: July 25, 2012. 

HSIN is maintained by the 

Department of Homeland Security, OPS. 

HSIN is designed to facilitate the secure 

integration and interoperability of 

information-sharing resources among 

federal, state, local, tribal, private-sector 

commercial, and other nongovernmental stakeholders involved in 

identifying and preventing terrorism as 

well as in undertaking incident 

management activities. HSIN is a userdriven, web-based, information-sharing 

platform that connects all homeland 

security mission partners within a wide 

spectrum of homeland security mission 

areas. OPS conducted this PIA because 

HSIN collects PII in the form of user 

account registration information from 

HSIN users in order to allow them 

access to the HSIN Release 3 (R3) 

community. 

System: DHS/OPS/PIA–007 

Homeland Security Information 

Network 3.0 Shared Spaces. 

Component: OPS. 

Date of approval: July 25, 2012. 

OPS maintains HSIN on the Sensitive 

but Unclassified network. HSIN is 

designed to facilitate the secure 

integration and interoperability of 

information-sharing resources between 

federal, state, local, tribal, territorial, 

private sector, international, and other 

non-governmental partners involved in 

identifying and preventing terrorism as 

well as in undertaking incident 

management activities. HSIN is a userdriven, web-based, information-sharing 

platform that connects all homeland 

security mission partners within a wide 

spectrum of homeland security mission 

areas. OPS conducted this PIA because 

the substantive material posted and 

shared within the HSIN collaboration 

spaces contains PII about members of 

the public who are the subject of 

documents, reports, or bulletins 

contained in those spaces. 

System: DHS/NPPD/PIA–009 

Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism 

Standards (CFATS). 

Component: NPPD. 

Date of approval: July 26, 2012. 

NPPD consolidated and updated this 

PIA for the CFATS regulations, 6 CFR 

Part 27. This PIA replaced the former 

PIAs for the Chemical Security 

Assessment Tool and CFATS, in order 

to provide a unified analysis of the 

collection and use of PII as part of 

CFATS. CFATS is the DHS regulation 

that governs security at high-risk 

chemical facilities and represents a 

national-level effort to minimize 

terrorism risk to such facilities. 

System: DHS/USCIS/PIA–006(a) 

Systematic Alien Verification for 

Entitlements (SAVE). 

Component: U.S. Citizenship and 

Immigration Services (USCIS). 

Date of approval: July 27, 2012. 

USCIS’s Verification Division 

published an update to the SAVE 

Program PIA dated August 26, 2011. 

SAVE is a fee-based, inter-governmental 

initiative designed to help federal, state, 

tribal, and local government agencies 

confirm immigration status prior to the 

granting of benefits and licenses, as well 

as for other lawful purposes. USCIS 

updated this PIA to: (1) Describe the 

new collection of foreign passport 

country of issuance from agencies 

issuing benefits and from the United 

States Visitor and Immigrant Status 

Indicator Technology Arrival and 

Departure Information System, (2) 

describe the addition of Enterprise 

Citizenship and Immigration Services 

Centralized Operational Repository, (3) 

describe the decommissioning of the 

Image Storage and Retrieval System and 

replacement by the Customer Profile 

Management System, and (4) describe 

the decommissioning of the 

Reengineered Naturalization 

Applications Casework System and 

replacement by Claims Linked 

Application Information Management 

System 4. 

System: DHS/USCIS/PIA–030(d) EVerify Program. 

Component: USCIS. 

Date of approval: July 27, 2012. 

USCIS’s Verification Division 

published an update to the DHS/USCIS– 

030 E-Verify Program PIA. USCIS 

administers the E-Verify program, 

which allows participating employers 

the ability to verify the employment 

eligibility of all newly hired employees. 

USCIS updated this PIA to: (1) describe 

collection and verification of the foreign 

passport country of issuance through 

the U.S. Visitor and Immigrant Status 

Indicator Technology program’s Arrival 

and Departure Information System, and 

(2) discuss the decommissioning of the 

Image Storage and Retrieval System 

(ISRS) and the Reengineered 

Naturalization Applications Casework 

System (RNACS) subsystems. The 

functionality previously provided by 

ISRS and RNACS will be replaced by 

the Customer Profile Management 

System and Claims Linked Application 

Information Management System 4, 

respectively. 

System: DHS/USCIS/PIA–036(a) 

Employment Eligibility Verification 

Requirements Under the Form I–9. 

Component: USCIS. 

Date of approval: July 27, 2012. 

The Verification Division of USCIS 

manages the business process in support 

of the statutory requirement that 

employers in the United States complete 

and maintain the Form I–9, Employment 

Eligibility Verification, to identify and 

verify employment authorization for all 

of their new employees. While the 

recent rulemakings that implemented 

changes to the Form I–9 did not impact 

what information DHS collects directly 

from individuals, which would trigger 

the requirement for a PIA, under the EGovernment Act, USCIS conducted this 

PIA to provide more transparency into 

the design and use of the Form I–9, a

sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 36 / Friday, February 22, 2013 / Notices 12341 

TSA currently conducts security 

threat assessments (STA) on individuals 

and companies that seek access to SSI 

necessary to prepare a proposal in the 

pre-contract award phase of contracting 

with TSA. SSI is a form of unclassified 

information that if publicly released 

would be detrimental to transportation 

security. The standards governing SSI 

are promulgated under 49 U.S.C. 114(r) 

in 49 CFR. part 1520. There may, 

however, also be circumstances under 

which individuals and companies will 

require access to SSI in order to prepare 

a proposal for contracts with other 

governmental agencies (federal, state, or 

local level) or with private industry. 

TSA updated this PIA to reflect that 

TSA will perform STA on individuals 

and companies seeking access to SSI in 

order to prepare a proposal with such 

other entities. 

System: DHS/OPS/PIA–009 National 

Operations Center Operations 

Counterterrorism Desk (NCOD) 

Database.

Date of approval: July 30, 2012. 

The National Operations Center 

(NOC), within OPS, operates the NOC 

Counterterrorism Operations Desk 

(NCOD) and serves as the primary 

Department of Homeland Security point 

of contact to streamline 

counterterrorism Requests for 

Information (RFI). The NCOD Database 

is a tracking tool used by NCOD Officers 

to track all counterterrorism related 

incoming and outgoing inquiries. OPS 

conducted this PIA because the NCOD 

Database contains PII. 

System: DHS/NPPD/PIA–026 National 

Cybersecurity Protection System 

(NCPS). 

Component: NPPD. 

Date of approval: July 30, 2012. 

NCPS is an integrated system for 

intrusion detection, analysis, intrusion 

prevention, and information sharing 

capabilities that are used to defend the 

federal civilian government agencies’ 

information technology infrastructure 

from cyber threats. The NCPS includes 

the hardware, software, supporting 

processes, training, and services that are 

developed and acquired to support its 

mission. NPPD conducted this PIA 

because PII may be collected by the 

NCPS, or through submissions of known 

or suspected cyber threats received by 

US–CERT for analysis. This PIA will 

serve as a replacement for previously 

published PIAs submitted by NSCD for 

the 24/7 Incident Handling Center 

(March 29, 2007), and the Malware Lab 

Network (May 4, 2010), and is a 

program-focused PIA to better 

characterize the efforts of NCPS and 

US–CERT. 

System: DHS/USCIS/PIA–044 Fraud 

Detection and National Security 

Directorate (FDNS). 

Component: USCIS. 

Date of approval: July 30, 2012. 

USCIS created the FDNS to strengthen 

the integrity of the nation’s immigration 

system and to ensure that immigration 

benefits are not granted to individuals 

that may pose a threat to national 

security and/or public safety. In 

addition, the FDNS is responsible for 

detecting, deterring, and combating 

immigration benefit fraud. USCIS 

conducted this PIA to document and 

assess how the FDNS collects, uses, and 

maintains PII. 

System: DHS/USCIS/PIA–045 

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. 

Component: USCIS. 

Date of approval: August 14, 2012. 

On June 15, 2012, Secretary of 

Homeland Security Janet Napolitano 

(the Secretary) issued a DHS 

memorandum entitled, ‘‘Exercising 

Prosecutorial Discretion with Respect to 

Individuals Who Came to the United 

States as Children.’’ The Secretary 

addressed the memorandum to the 

Acting Commissioner of U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection, and to the 

Directors of USCIS and U.S. 

Immigration and Customs Enforcement. 

The Secretary’s memorandum set forth 

how prosecutorial discretion may be 

exercised in cases involving certain 

people who arrived in the United States 

as children. The Secretary emphasized 

that generally, this population lacked 

the intent to violate the law, and that 

her memorandum would ensure 

enforcement resources would not be 

expended on these low priority cases. 

The basis for the Secretary’s 

memorandum is the Secretary’s 

authority to exercise prosecutorial 

discretion by deferring action in 

appropriate cases. Prosecutorial 

discretion is the authority to determine 

how and when to exercise enforcement 

authority in line with agency priorities. 

Deferred action is an exercise of this 

prosecutorial discretion to defer 

removal action against certain 

individuals who are unlawfully present 

in the United States in order to devote 

scarce enforcement resources to the 

highest priority removal cases, 

including individuals who pose a 

danger to national security or public 

safety or have been convicted of specific 

crimes. USCIS published this PIA 

because the deferred action for 

childhood arrivals process associated 

with this memorandum involves the 

collection and use of PII. 

System: DHS/ALL/PIA–042 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS) Personal Identity Verification 

(PIV). 

Component: DHS-Wide. 

Date of approval: August 23, 2012.

Directorate (S&T) located at the United 

States-Mexico border. The purpose of 

the test bed is to test and evaluate 

technologies in an operational 

environment that assist DHS Customs 

and Border Protection field agents in 

securing our nation’s borders. S&T 

updated this PIA to reflect the addition 

of mobile enrollment technology and 

surveillance cameras, and the 

deployment of an additional test bed 

site at the United States-Canada border, 

called NET–B. 

System: DHS/S&T/PIA–024 Rapid 

Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) System. 

Component: S&T. 

Date of approval: September 14, 2012. 

S&T developed the Rapid DNA 

System primarily to meet the need of 

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration 

Services (USCIS) to verify family 

relationships in refugee immigration 

processes. The Rapid DNA System 

performs rapid, low-cost DNA analysis 

to meet this USCIS need and may also 

address operational needs of other DHS 

components. S&T conducted this PIA 

because the collection and analysis of 

DNA information raises potential 

privacy concerns. 

System: DHS/TSA/PIA–038 

Performance and Results Information 

System (PARIS). 

Component: TSA. 

Date of approval: September 18, 2012. 

TSA PARIS system is a database used 

for maintaining information associated

actions, as well as for recording the 


sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
12342 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 36 / Friday, February 22, 2013 / Notices 

details of security incidents involving 

passenger and property screening. 

PARIS maintains PII about individuals, 

including witnesses, involved in 

security incidents or regulatory 

enforcement activities. PARIS also 

creates and maintains a list of 

individuals who, based upon their 

involvement in security incidents of 

sufficient severity or frequency, are 

disqualified from receiving expedited 

screening for some period of time or 

permanently. The purpose of this PIA is 

to inform the public of changes in the 

use of PARIS and any resulting impact 

to personal privacy. 

System: DHS/CBP/PIA–004(f) 

Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative 

(WHTI). 

Component: CBP. 

Date of approval: September 24, 2012. 

CBP published this PIA to give notice 

of an update to the WHTI PIA. This 

update describes Phase I of the Beyond 

the Border entry/exit program, which is 

an initiative of the U.S.-Canada Beyond 

the Border Action Plan. The Beyond the 

Border entry/exit program will expand 

the sharing of border crossing 

information with the Canada Border 

Services Agency by exchanging 

biographic, travel document, and other 

border crossing information collected 

from individuals entering the United 

States from Canada and vice versa at 

land ports of entry. This exchange of 

border crossing entry information will 

assist both countries so that the record 

of an entry into one country establishes 

an exit record from the other, ultimately 

supporting each nation in their 

immigration and law enforcement 

missions, as well as facilitating crossborder travel. This PIA update covered 

Phase I of the entry/exit program only, 

which is limited to exchanging entry 

records from certain individuals (other 

than U.S. and Canadian citizens) at 

certain land ports of entry to measure 

the ability to reconcile biographic entry 

records between Canada and the United 

States. DHS will publish additional 

updates to this PIA in advance of 

deployment of any subsequent phases to 

the Beyond the Border entry/exit 

program. 

System: DHS/NPPD/PIA–011 Federal 

Protective Service (FPS) Information 

Support Tracking System (FISTS). 

Component: National Protection and 

Programs Directorate (NPPD). 

Date of review: October 4, 2012. 

This PIA was reviewed using the 

three-year PIA checklist. U.S. 

Immigration and Customs Enforcement 

(ICE), Federal Protective Service (FPS), 

Information Support Tracking System 

(FISTS), Contract Suitability Module is 

a web-based application used to 

automate the process for assessing the 

suitability of FPS and General Services 

Administration contract personnel to 

work in secure Federal buildings, and to 

track periodic background reinvestigations of those contract 

employees. The system collects and 

maintains information on applicants 

and contractor personnel who work in 

secure Federal buildings such as 

security officers, childcare workers, 

cleaners, and other contracted service 

positions. FPS conducted this PIA 

because FISTS collects and uses PII on 

members of the public who seek or are 

currently employed in these positions 

within Federal facilities. 

System: DHS/FEMA/PIA–011 

National Flood Insurance Program 

Information Technology System. 

Component: FEMA. 

Date of approval: October 12, 2012. 

DHS FEMA FIMA National Flood 

Insurance Program (NFIP) owns and 

operates the NFIP Information 

Technology System (ITS). The NFIP ITS 

processes flood insurance policies and 

claims, specifically, policies and claims 

from the FEMA Direct Servicing Agent 

(DSA) contractor on behalf of the NFIP 

and by Write Your Own Companies 

(WYO) that sell and service flood 

insurance policies. An NFIP flood 

insurance policy can be obtained 

directly from a DSA through a licensed 

insurance broker or from WYOs. Since 

1983, participating insurance companies 

have delivered and serviced NFIP 

policies in their own names, through the 

‘‘Write Your Own’’ arrangement. The 

policy coverage and premiums do not 

differ if purchased from the DSA or 

WYOs. FEMA conducted this PIA 

because NFIP ITS collects, uses, 

maintains, retrieves, and disseminates 

PII about individuals who purchase, as 

well as those who process, flood 

insurance policies from NFIP and 

individuals requesting access to the 

system. 

System: DHS/TSA/PIA–040 Port 

Authority of New York/New Jersey 

(PANYNJ) Secure Worker Access 

Consortium Vetting Services (SWAC). 

Component: TSA. 

Date of approval: November 13, 2012. 

TSA will conduct terrorism watch list 

checks of workers at PANYNJ facilities 

and job sites, including critical 

infrastructure such as airports, marine 

ports, bus terminals, rail transit 

facilities, bridges, tunnels, and real 

estate such as the World Trade Center 

memorial site. TSA will also conduct 

terrorism watch list checks of 

individuals identified by PANYNJ as 

requiring such checks for access to 

sensitive information, and for workers at 

facilities and job sites of PANYNJ 

regional partners. Results of the checks 

will not be reported to PANYNJ, but 

instead will be forwarded to the Federal 

Bureau of Investigation Terrorist 

Screening Center. This PIA was 

conducted pursuant to the EGovernment Act of 2002 because PII 

will be collected to conduct terrorism 

watch list checks of workers at PANYNJ 

facilities and job sites. 

System: DHS/TSA/PIA–039 Trends 

and Patterns Branch (TPB). 

Component: TSA. 

Date of approval: November 13, 2012. 

TSA, Trends and Patterns Branch 

(TPB) seeks to improve the ability to 

identify potential risks to transportation 

security by discovering and analyzing 

previously unknown links or patterns 

among individuals who undergo a TSA 

security threat assessment, aviation 

passengers identified as a match to a 

watch list, and passengers who do not 

present acceptable identification 

documents to access the sterile area of 

an airport whose identity is unverified. 

TSA conducted this PIA because the 

TPB will collect and use PII to perform 

these functions. 

System: DHS/FEMA/PIA–012(a) 

Disaster Assistance Improvement 

Program (DAIP). 

Component: FEMA. 

Date of approval: November 16, 2012. 

FEMA, Office of Response & 

Recovery, Recovery Directorate, 

National Processing Service Center 

Operations Branch, sponsors and funds 

the DAIP. In accordance with Executive 

Order 13411 ‘‘Improving Assistance for 

Disaster Victims,’’ DAIP developed the 

Disaster Assistance Center (DAC) 

system. As a part of DAIP, DAC 

maintains disaster survivor application 

and registration information collected 

through various media including: (1) 

DAIP paper forms, (2) the 

www.disasterassistance.gov Web site, 

(3) the http://m.fema.gov mobile Web 

site, and (4) via telephone. DAIP/DAC 

shares the information with the National 

Emergency Management Information 

System– Individual Assistance (IA) 

module to facilitate eligibility 

determinations and with other federal, 

tribal, state, local, and non-profit 

agencies/organizations that also service 

disaster survivors. FEMA conducted 

this PIA because DAIP/DAC collects, 

uses, maintains, retrieves, and 

disseminates PII of disaster survivors 

who either request IA benefits from 

FEMA or whom FEMA may refer to its 

partners.

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 36 / Friday, February 22, 2013 / Notices 12343 

S&T and the State of Oklahoma are 

partnering on the RAPS project to test 

and evaluate Small Unmanned Aircraft 

Systems (SUAS) for potential use by the 

first responder community and DHS 

operational components. SUAS include 

small aircraft (typically under 55 

pounds and having wingspans of 3–6 

feet or less) that are operated using a 

wireless ground control station. The 

aircraft are equipped with sensors and 

cameras that can capture images and 

transmit them to a ground control 

system to provide aerial views of 

emergency situations and situational 

awareness. S&T conducted a PIA to 

address the privacy impact of the 

system’s surveillance and image 

capturing capabilities. 

System: DHS/USCG/PIA–001(b) 

Homeport Internet Portal. 

Component: USCG. 

Date of approval: November 16, 2012. 

USCG currently uses the Homeport 

Internet Portal to provide secure 

information dissemination, advanced 

collaboration for Area Maritime Security 

Committees, electronic submission and 

approval for facility security plans, and 

complex electronic notification 

capabilities. Homeport includes a 

subsystem called the Alert Warning 

System (AWS), which provides USCG 

Headquarters, Districts, Sectors, and 

other units an enterprise solution for 

sending alerts and warnings to maritime 

security (MARSEC) partners, 

stakeholders, and appropriate port 

constituents for MARSEC level changes 

and other MARSEC-related activities 

requiring port-wide notifications. 

Through a Memorandum of Agreement 

between the USCG and the 

Transportation Security Administration 

(TSA), use of AWS capabilities will be 

shared between these two DHS 

components, thereby leveraging DHS 

investment in the system and avoiding 

duplicative operations and maintenance 

costs within DHS. The USCG issued this 

PIA update to include TSA operations 

center personnel as authorized users of 

Homeport’s AWS, which contains nonsensitive PII and disseminates airport 

security information to authorized 

recipients. 

System: DHS/ICE/PIA–029 Alien 

Medical Records Systems. 

Component: ICE. 

Date of approval: November 27, 2012. 

ICE maintains medical records on 

aliens that ICE detains for violations of 

U.S. immigration law. Aliens held in 

ICE custody in a facility staffed by the 

ICE Health Services Corps, a division of 

ICE’s Office of Enforcement and 

Removal Operations, receive physical 

exams and treatment, dental services, 

and pharmacy services, depending on 

the alien’s medical conditions and 

length of stay. To properly record the 

medical assessments and services, ICE 

operates the following information 

technology systems that maintain 

electronic medical record information: 

CaseTrakker, MedEZ, Dental X-Ray 

System, the Criminal Institution 

Pharmacy System, the Medical Payment 

Authorization Request Web System 

(MedPAR), and the Medical 

Classification Database. This PIA was 

originally published on July 25, 2011, 

and described the information in these 

medical record systems, the purposes 

for which this information was collected 

and used, and the safeguards ICE had 

implemented to mitigate the privacy 

and security risks to PII stored in these 

systems. The PIA was republished in 

full primarily to modify the description 

of the MedPAR system, which originally 

was to be hosted by the U.S. Department 

of Veterans Affairs, but now remains at 

ICE.
