SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

To provide expanded notice and 

transparency to the public, the 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS), U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) published a Privacy 

Act system of records notice (SORN) in 

the Federal Register regarding the 

Automated Targeting System (ATS) on 

November 2, 2006 (71 Fed. Reg. 64543). 

As detailed in the SORN, ATS is the 

enforcement screening module 

associated with the Treasury 

Enforcement Communications System 

and was previously covered by the 

Treasury Enforcement Communications 

System ‘‘System of Records Notice.’’

This system of records is subject to the 

Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5 

U.S.C. 552a). 

The DHS Privacy Office published the 

Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) for 

ATS on November 24, 2006 on its Web 

site, www.dhs.gov/privacy under 

‘‘Privacy Impact Assessments.’’ The PIA 

provides additional background 

information and context for the SORN, 

including specific information on 

measures taken by DHS to protect the 

privacy of persons whose information 

might be found in ATS. 

The SORN referenced above did not 

identify or create any new collection of 

information; rather DHS merely 

provided additional notice and 

transparency of the functionality of 

these pre-existing systems. The SORN 

provided for a thirty day comment 

period which expired on December 4, 

2006. 

Extension of Comment Period 

In response to the SORN published in 

the Federal Register, and the PIA 

published on the web, DHS has received 

a number of comments from the public 

requesting an extension of the comment 

period. DHS has decided to grant the 

request for the extension. Accordingly, 

the period of time for the submission of 

comments is being extended. Comments 

are now due on or before December 29, 

2006. 

Dated: December 4, 2006. 

Hugo Teufel III, 

Chief Privacy Officer.
