SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of Transportation system of 

records notice subject to the Privacy Act 

of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), as amended, has 

been published in the Federal Register 

and is available from the above 

mentioned address. 

System Number: 

DOT/MARAD 31 

SYSTEM NAME: 

Mariner Outreach System (MOS). 

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: 

Unclassified, Sensitive. 

SYSTEM LOCATION: 

NCCIPS Data Center Loading Dock, 

Cypress Loop Road, Building 9323, 

Stennis Space Center, MS 39529. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM OF RECORDS: 

The Mariner Outreach System (MOS) 

contains information about U.S. Coast 

Guard (USCG) mariners. MOS provides 

a systematic way to monitor the 

adequacy of our nation’s merchant 

mariner pool and to track and maintain 

contact information and qualifications 

of mariners. Therefore, there is the 

potential for the following categories of 

individual’s information to be covered 

by this system: 

• Data about mariners who hold or 

previously held a USCG credential. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

MOS contains the following types of 

information: 

• Information from the Merchant 

Mariner License and Documentation 

(MMLD) including personal data such 

as last 4 digits of SSN, date of birth 

(DOB), place of birth (POB). 

• Mariners updated contact 

information, e.g., address, e-mail(s), and 

phone number(s). 

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

National Security Directive #28 

(October 5, 1989), Merchant Marine Act 

of 1936; Maritime Security Act of 2003 

(Pub. L. 108–136). 

PURPOSES: 

MOS is an invaluable tool for MARAD 

and its partners to make valid vessel 

and human resources projections; 

identify potential mariner shortfalls; 

allow mariners to provide up-to-date/ 


cprice-sewell on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES
47852 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 179 / Thursday, September 17, 2009 / Notices 

accurate contact information; and to 

facilitate crewing of vessels should a 

mariner shortage occur. 

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: 

The Office of Maritime Workforce 

Development’s routine use of 

information is for resource projection, 

maintain contact information and 

facilitate filling shortages. The merchant 

mariners who hold or previously held a 

USCG credential can self-register and 

update his/her own contact information 

after registration. 

DISCLOSURE TO CONSUMER REPORTING

AGENCIES: 

None. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, 

RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND

DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

STORAGE: 

Data is stored in this system on a 

dedicated server. 

RETRIEVABILITY: 

Registered mariners can only view 

their own personal records by user ID, 

obtained from initial self-registration, 

and password. 

Authorized administrator at Maritime 

Workforce Development can retrieve 

data for analysis, resource protection, 

and facilitation of crewing of vessels, as 

necessary, by last name, first name and 

last 4-digits of social security number. 

SAFEGUARDS: 

The production environment is 

located in a secure zone behind a 

firewall, called a Demilitarized Zone 

(DMZ) that enables secure connections 

from the Internet. 

DOT Crisis and Security Management 

Center (CSMC) monitors all traffic 

within the department looking for any 

possible attacks. CSMC works with the 

modes during possible attacks. MARAD 

has Cisco ASA devices to monitor 

events on the system, detect attacks, and 

provide identification of unauthorized 

use of the system. 

The Stennis Data Center in 

Mississippi hosting MOS is occupied by 

the Department of Navy contractor 

personnel and is not open to the general 

public. The Data Center is uniquely 

constructed. It was formerly an 

ammunition manufacturing facility and 

as such, its external walls are 

constructed completely of steel 

reinforced concrete that is 12 to 48 

inches thick. It has no windows. The 

construction materials as well as its 

location inside of the Stennis Space 

Center significantly reduce its 

vulnerability to most conventional types 

of external threats i.e. vehicle born 

improvised explosive devices (VBIEDs), 

burglary, trespassing, and unauthorized 

entry. 

The facility operates in a secure 

closed manner. Outside personnel do 

not have unescorted access to the 

facility. Mail deliveries are received by 

facility personnel who screen all 

material before being brought into the 

facility. All equipment is delivered and 

sent through a secure loading dock. All 

equipment is installed either by or 

under the supervision of facility 

personnel. 

The test and development 

environments are available only to local 

personnel and selected users connecting 

via a Virtual Private Network. 

System data is protected by daily 

backups to Linear Tape Open (LTO3) 

tape. In addition, daily backups of data 

to a local server hard drive, which are 

kept for a period of 14 days to safeguard 

the data. 

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: 

The files are retained and disposed of 

according to the MARAD Records 

Schedule, according to the National 

Archives and Records Administration, 

and DOT policy.

U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) and registered 

merchant mariners. 

The data from USCG include: (a) 

MMLD data which contain credentials 

information, e.g., merchant mariners 

credentials (MMC), merchant mariners 

document (MMD), merchant mariners’ 

standards, training certification, and

RETRIEVABILITY: 

Records are retrievable by last name, 

organization code and pay period. 

SAFEGUARDS: 

The production environment is 

located in a secure zone behind a 

firewall, called a Demilitarized Zone 

(DMZ) that enables secure connections 

from the Internet. 

DOT Crisis and Security Management 

Center (CSMC) monitors all traffic 

within the department looking for any 

possible attacks. CSMC works with the 

modes during possible attacks. MARAD 

has Cisco ASA devices to monitor 

events on the system, detect attacks, and 

provide identification of unauthorized 

use of the system. 

The Stennis Data Center in 

Mississippi hosting PMIS is occupied by 

the Department of Navy contractor 

personnel and is not open to the general 

public. The Data Center is uniquely 

constructed. It was formerly an 

ammunition manufacturing facility and 

as such, its external walls are 

constructed completely of steel 

reinforced concrete that is 12 to 48 

inches thick. It has no windows. The 

construction materials as well as its 

location inside of the Stennis Space 

Center significantly reduces its 

vulnerability to most conventional types 

of external threats i.e. vehicle born 

improvised explosive devices (VBIEDs), 

burglary, trespassing, and unauthorized 

entry. 

The facility operates in a secure 

closed manner. Outside personnel do 

not have unescorted access to the 

facility. Mail deliveries are received by 

facility personnel who screen all 

material before being brought into the 

facility. All equipment is delivered and 

sent through a secure loading dock. All 

equipment is installed either by or 

under the supervision of facility 

personnel. 

The test and development 

environments are available only to local 

personnel and selected users connecting 

via a Virtual Private Network. 

System data is protected by daily 

backups to Linear Tape Open (LTO3) 

tape. In addition, daily backups of data 

to a local server hard drive, which are 

kept for a period of 14 days to safeguard 

the data. 

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: 

The files are retained and disposed of 

according to the MARAD Records 

Schedule, according to the National 

Archives and Records Administration, 

and DOT policy. Schedule No. 232 

(Dispose of when superseded by master 

file processing updates.)
