**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 
I. Background

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Transportation Security Administration (TSA) proposes to update and reissue a DHS/TSA system of records notice titled, DHS/TSA–011, Transportation Security Intelligence Service (TSIS) Operations Files System of Records (69 FR 71828, December 10, 2004).

TSA’s mission is to protect the nation’s transportation systems to ensure freedom of movement for people and commerce. To achieve this mission, TSA is required to develop and adapt its security programs to respond to evolving threats to transportation security. In accordance with the biennial review of this system, the following modifications are being made:

• The categories of records section is updated to include biometric records.

• DHS/TSA is incorporating four DHS
standard routines uses. One routine use
will allow release of information to appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when DHS/TSA suspects or has confirmed that the security or confidentiality of an information system of records has been compromised. Another routine use permits the release
of information to the media when there exists a legitimate public interest in disclosing information. Release under this routine use will require the approval of the DHS Chief Privacy
Officer in consultation with counsel.
Another routine use allows the release of information to a court, magistrate, administrative tribunal or opposing counsel or parties where a Federal agency is a party or has an interest in the litigation or administrative proceeding. The fourth routine use
allows DHS/TSA to release information to a former employee when it is necessary to consult with the former employee regarding a matter that is within that person’s former area of responsibility.

• TSA is revising a routine use by adding indirect air carriers and other facility operators as potential recipients of information from these systems when appropriate to address a threat or potential threat to transportation security or national security, or when required for administrative purposes
related to the effective and efficient administration of transportation security
laws.

• TSA is also revising a current routine use by adding indirect air carriers and other facility operators as potential recipients of information about individuals who are their employees, job applicants, or contractors, or persons to whom they issue identification credentials or grant clearances to secured areas in transportation facilities when relevant to such employment, application, contract, training or the
issuance of such credentials or
clearances.

• The record source categories are updated to reflect the use of commercial and public record databases and Web sites to obtain information regarding the identity of individuals who attempt to gain access to the sterile areas of the airport and for whom identity needs to be verified or individuals who are being vetted to qualify as Federal flight deck officers. The record source categories to include Federal, State, local and foreign agencies; formerly only U.S. agencies
were included.

• For each system of records covered by this notice, the retention and disposal sections are updated to reflect
the records retention schedules approved by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

• The notification section for each system of records covered by this notice was changed to reflect that inquiries regarding whether the applicable system
contains records about an individual
should be directed to TSA’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Office.

The TSIS Operations Filing System
contains records on individuals identified in intelligence, counterintelligence, transportation security and information systems security records that relate to TSA’s mission. For example, this system
contains information on individuals involved in terrorism or the compromise
of classified information. DHS/TSA is revising its system of records to reflect necessary programmatic changes.

Portions of this system are exempt under 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2), (k)(1), (k)(2) and (k)(5) as reflected in the final rule published on August 4, 2006 in 71 FR

44223.

Consistent with the Privacy Act,
information stored in the TSIS Operations Files System may be shared with other DHS components, as well as appropriate Federal, State, local, Tribal, foreign, or international government agencies. This sharing will only take place after DHS determines that the receiving component or agency has a need to know the information to carry out national security, law enforcement, immigration, intelligence, or other
functions consistent with the routine uses set forth in this system of records

notice.

II. Privacy Act

The Privacy Act embodies fair information principles in a statutory framework governing the means by
which the United States Government collects, maintains, uses, and
disseminates 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 for 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
United States citizens and lawful permanent residents. As a matter of policy, DHS extends administrative Privacy Act protections to all individuals where systems of records maintain information on U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and visitors. Individuals may request access
to their own records that are maintained in a system of records in the possession or under the control of DHS by complying with DHS Privacy Act regulations, 6 CFR part 5.

The Privacy Act requires each agency to publish in the Federal Register a description denoting the type and character of each system of records that the agency maintains, and the routine uses that are contained in each system in order to make agency recordkeeping practices transparent, to notify individuals regarding the uses to their records are put, and to assist individuals to more easily find such files within the agency. Below is the description of the DHS/TSA–011 TSIS Operations Files system of records.

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.
