**Privacy Act of 1974; Department of Homeland Security National Protection**  **and Programs Directorate—001 Arrival and Departure Information System,**  **System of Records**

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

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

**SUMMARY :**  In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to update and reissue a Department of Homeland Security system of records titled Department of Homeland Security/National Protection and Programs Directorate—001 Arrival and Departure Information System (ADIS) System of Records (72 FR 47057, August 22, 2007). This system of records allows the Department of Homeland Security to collect and maintain records on individuals throughout the immigrant and non-immigrant pre-entry, entry, status management, and exit processes.

With the publication of this updated system of records, the following changes are being made: (1) A new category of records is being added; (2) the record source categories are being updated; and (3) administrative updates are being made globally to comply with the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2013, which transfers the United States Visitor Indicator Technology (US–VISIT) program’s biometric identity management functions to the Office of Biometric Identity Management (OBIM), a newly created office within DHS/ National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD).

The exemptions for the existing system of records notice will continue to be applicable for this updated system of records notice and this system will be continue to be included in the Department of Homeland Security’s inventory of record systems.

Dates and Comments: Submit comments on or before June 27, 2013. This updated system will be effective June 27, 2013. In particular, comments are requested concerning the application of the exemptions to the new category of records.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  I. Background

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD) Office of Biometric Identity Management (OBIM) proposes to update and reissue a current DHS system of records titled, ‘‘DHS/NPPD—001 Arrival and Departure Information System (ADIS) System of Records’’ (72 FR 47057, August 22, 2007). A Final Rule exempting this system of records from certain provisions of the Privacy Act was published on August 22, 2007 (72 FR 46921).

ADIS is a system for the storage and use of biographic, biometric indicator, and encounter data on aliens who have applied for entry, entered, or departed the United States (U.S.). ADIS consolidates information from various systems in order to provide a repository of data held by DHS for pre-entry, entry, status management, and exit tracking of immigrants and non-immigrants. Its primary use is to facilitate the investigation of subjects of interest who may have violated their immigration


### 31956 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 102 / Tuesday, May 28, 2013 / Notices

status by remaining in the United States beyond their authorized stay. The information is collected by, on behalf of, in support of, or in cooperation with DHS and its components and may contain personally identifiable information collected by other Federal, state, local, tribal, foreign, or international government agencies.

This system of records notice updates the categories of records and record source categories. Originally, records could be derived from entry or exit data of foreign countries collected by foreign governments in support of their respective entry and exit processes. These records collected from foreign governments were required to relate to individuals who have an existing record in ADIS. This update clarifies that although records collected from foreign governments must relate to individuals who have entered or exited the United States, in some instances there may be no pre-existing ADIS record for those individuals.

In March 2013, the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2013 (The Act) transferred the legacy US–VISIT overstay analysis mission to DHS/Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the entry/exit policy to DHS/Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The Act also transferred the program’s biometric identity management functions to the Office of Biometric Identity Management (OBIM), a newly created office within NPPD. Administrative updates are being made globally to comply with these changes.

Additionally, this notice includes non-substantive changes to simplify the formatting and text of the previously published notice.

Consistent with DHS’ informationsharing mission, information stored in the DHS/NPPD—001 Arrival and Departure Information System (ADIS) may be shared with other DHS components that 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.

The exemptions for the existing system of records notice will continue to be applicable for this updated system of records notice and this system will continue to be included in DHS’ inventory of record systems. In the context of this updated system of records notice, the Department is requesting comment on the application of the exemptions to the newly added category of records.

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/ NPPD–001 Arrival and Departure Information System (ADIS) 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.

**System of Records**

Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD)–001.

**System Name:**

DHS/NPPD–001 Arrival and Departure Information System (ADIS).

**SECURITY CLASSIFICATION :** 

Unclassified.

**SYSTEM LOCATION :** 

Records are maintained at the DHS/ NPPD Headquarters in Washington, DC and field offices.

**CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE**

**SYSTEM :** 

Categories of individuals covered by this notice consist of aliens who have applied for entry, entered, or departed from the United States at any time. These individuals may be in records collected by DHS or other Federal, state, local, tribal, foreign, or international government organizations. This system primarily consists of records pertaining to alien immigrants (including lawfulpermanent residents) and nonimmigrants. Some of these individuals may change status and become United
States citizens.

**CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM :** 

ADIS contains biographic data, biometric indicator data, and encounter data. Biographic data includes, but is not limited to, name, date of birth, nationality, and other personal descriptive data. Biometric indicator data includes, but is not limited to, fingerprint identification numbers. Encounter data provides the context of the interaction between the immigrant or non-immigrant and the border management authority. This data includes, but is not limited to, encounter location, document types, document numbers, document issuance information, and address while in the United States.

ADIS also sometimes contains commentary from immigration enforcement officers, which includes references to active criminal and other immigration enforcement investigations and contains other confidential data fields used for enforcement purposes.

ADIS data may be derived from records related to entry or exit data of foreign countries collected by foreign governments in support of their respective entry and exit processes. Generally, records collected from foreign governments relate to individuals who have entered or exited the United States at some time, but in some instances there is no pre-existing ADIS record for the individual.

**AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM :**

**PURPOSE (** **S ):** 

This system of records is the primary repository of data held by DHS for near real-time entry and exit status trackingthroughout the immigrant and nonimmigrant pre-entry, entry, status management, and exit processes, based on data collected by DHS or other federal or foreign government agencies and used in connection with DHS national security, law enforcement, immigration, intelligence, and other DHS mission-related functions. Data is also used to provide associated testing, training, management reporting, planning and analysis, or other administrative purposes. Similar data may be collected from multiple sources to verify or supplement existing data and to ensure a high degree of data

accuracy.

Specifically, the ADIS data will beused to identify lawfully admitted nonimmigrants who remain in the United

**Border Protection–007–Border Crossing Information System of** 
**Records**

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

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

**SUMMARY :**  In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and Border Protection proposes to update and reissue a current Department of Homeland Security system of records titled, ‘‘Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and Border Protection–007—Border Crossing Information System of Records.’’ This system of records allows U.S. Customs and Border Protection to collect and maintain records on border crossing information for all individuals who enter, are admitted or paroled into, and—where available—exit from the United States, regardless of method or conveyance. This border crossing information includes certain biographical information; a photograph; certain itinerary information mandated or provided on a voluntary basis by air, sea, bus, and rail carriers or any other forms of passenger transportation; and the time and location of the border crossing.

This system of records notice was previously published in the Federal Register on July 25, 2008 (73 FR 43457). A Final Rule exempting portions of this system from certain provisions of the Privacy Act was published on February 3, 2010 (75 FR 5491). As part of DHS’s ongoing effort to increase transparency regarding its collection of information, DHS/CBP is updating (1) the categories of individuals to include persons entering Canada from the United States, (2) the categories of records to include border crossing data from Canada, (3) the sources of information to include data provided by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), and (4) the routine uses to include the sharing of border crossing information with Canada. Additional routine uses were edited for clarity and for ease of use and understanding. In addition, DHS/CBP made non-substantive edits to the exemptions to ensure clarity.

DHS/CBP is updating this system of records notice to provide notice of the Beyond the Border (BTB) Entry/Exit Program with Canada. Through the Entry/Exit, the United States and Canada will exchange border crossing information about certain third-country nationals, permanent residents of Canada, and lawful permanent residents of the United States, at all automated land border ports of entry.

The exemptions for the existing system of records notice (July 25, 2008, 73 FR 43457) will continue to apply for this updated system of records notice and DHS will include this system in its inventory of record systems.

Dates and Comments: Submit comments on or before June 27, 2013. In particular, comments are requested concerning the application of the exemptions to the newly added categories of individuals, categories of records, routine uses, and sources of information for this system. This updated system will be effective June
27, 2013.

**ADDRESSES :**  You may submit comments, identified by docket number DHS– 2013–0038 by one of the following methods:

• Federal e-Rulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.

• Fax: 202–343–4010.

• Mail: Jonathan R. Cantor, Acting Chief Privacy Officer, Privacy Office, Department of Homeland Security, Washington, DC 20528.
