DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND 

SECURITY 

[Docket No. DHS 2006–0077] 

Privacy Act; Redress and Response 

System of Records 

AGENCY: Privacy Office, Office of the 

Secretary, 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 (DHS) is giving 

notice that it proposes to add a new 

system of records to its inventory of 

record systems, the DHS Redress and 

Response Records System. This system 

maintains records for the DHS Traveler 

Redress Inquiry Program (TRIP), which 

is the traveler redress mechanism being 

established by DHS in connection with 

the Rice-Chertoff Initiative, as well as in 

accordance with other policy and law. 

As the manifestation of the one-stop 

redress for travelers objective stated in 

the Rice-Chertoff Initiative, DHS TRIP 

will facilitate the public’s ability to 

provide appropriate information to DHS 

for redress requests when they believe 

they have been denied entry, refused 

boarding for transportation, or identified 

for additional screening by DHS 

components or programs at their 

operational locations, including 

airports, seaports, train stations and 

land borders that may have resulted in 


pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 11 / Thursday, January 18, 2007 / Notices 2295 

the individual being delayed or 

inconvenienced. DHS TRIP will create a 

cohesive process to address these 

redress requests across DHS. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted on or before February 20, 

2007. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by Docket Number DHS–

2006–0077 by one of the following

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS) is establishing a new system of 

records pursuant to the Privacy Act (5 

U.S.C. 552a), entitled the Redress and 

Response Records System, DHS/ALL—

005. The system serves as a DHS System 

of Records for the DHS Traveler Redress 

Inquiry Program (TRIP). On January 17, 

2006, DHS Secretary Chertoff and 

Department of State Secretary Rice 

established the Rice-Chertoff Initiative. 

One objective of this initiative is to 

‘‘accelerate efforts to establish a 

government-wide traveler screening 

redress process to resolve questions if 

travelers are incorrectly selected for 

additional screening.’’ DHS TRIP 

realizes this objective as the traveler 

redress program at DHS that will 

coordinate the redress processes for 

travelers among DHS components and 

other agencies and simplify the process 

for travelers. 

For example, individuals who believe 

they have been denied entry, refused 

boarding for transportation, or identified 

for additional screening by DHS 

components or programs at their 

operational locations, including 

airports, seaports, train stations and 

land borders that may have resulted in 

the individual being denied access to 

transportation or entry into the United 

States or otherwise delayed or 

inconvenienced may submit 

information through DHS TRIP. 

DHS TRIP collects and maintains 

information from the individual that 

DHS may use to make an appropriate 

determination to resolve, if possible, the 

underlying issue regarding the request 

for redress. The information collected 

will be used to determine which DHS 

component or other agency is most able 

to address the redress request. 

DHS TRIP will serve as a mechanism 

to share redress-related information 

across DHS components, to facilitate 

efficient adjudication of redress 

requests, and to facilitate 

communication of redress results across 

DHS components. Once the information 

intake is complete, DHS TRIP will 

facilitate the transfer of or access to this 

information for the DHS components or 

other agencies redress process, which 

will address the redress request. 

As part of addressing the redress 

request under DHS TRIP, each DHS 

component or other agency redress 

process may share information provided 

by individuals seeking redress with 

other DHS components or programs and 

other Federal agencies, such as the 

Department of State and the Department 

of Justice, including its Terrorist 

Screening Center, to work toward the 

possible resolution of the problem for 

the individual. 

In addition, DHS TRIP will maintain 

a case management system of traveler 

redress requests. This case management 

function will be utilized to track case 

progress, to provide metrics of redress 

operations, to identify areas in need of 

additional support, and to develop 

lessons learned regarding the overall 

DHS traveler redress process. 

During the course of an adjudication 

of a redress request submitted through 

DHS TRIP, records or information, 

exempt from specific requirements of 

the Privacy Act, as defined by 

regulation, from another system of 

records may become part of, merged 

with, or recompiled within this system. 

To the extent this occurs, DHS will 

claim the same exemptions as were 

claimed in the original system from 

which the recompiled records, material, 

or information were a part. Such exempt 

records or information are likely to 

include law enforcement or national 

security investigation records, 

intelligence-related records, law 

enforcement encounter records, or 

terrorist screening records. These could 

come from various DHS systems, such 

as the Treasury Enforcement 

Communications System (TECS) and the 

Transportation Security Information 

System (TSIS), or from other agency 

systems. DHS, after conferring with the 

appropriate component or agency, may 

waive applicable exemptions in 

appropriate circumstances and where it 

would not interfere with or adversely 

affect the law enforcement or national 

security purposes of the systems from 

which the information is recompiled or 

in which it is contained. 

Information that is maintained in this 

System of Records may need to be 

shared under certain circumstances to 

adjudicate an individual’s redress 

request. This ordinarily will occur 

when, in an effort to verify an 

individual’s identification to adjudicate 

a redress request, the redress program 

exchanges information with another 

governmental entity involved in an 

operational or informational process 

associated with the individual’s redress 

request. Likewise, information may be 

shared with other Federal agencies 

where those agencies have information 

that can be used to distinguish the 

identity of the individual seeking 

redress from that of another individual 

included on a watch list. 

Additionally, limited information 

may be shared with non-governmental 

entities where necessary for the sole 

purpose of effectuating an individual’s 

redress request. For example, if an 

individual has been cleared and 

distinguished from a known or 

suspected threat to aviation security, 

that individual’s name and appropriate 

associated information can be shared 

with the airlines to prevent future 

delays and disruptions for that 

individual while traveling. 

Other types of information sharing 

that may result from the routine uses 

outlined in this notice include: (1) 

Disclosure to individuals who are not 

DHS employees but have an agency 

relationship with DHS to accomplish 

DHS responsibilities; (2) sharing when 

there appears to be a specific violation 

or potential violation of law, or 

identified threat or potential threat to 

national or international security, such 

as criminal or terrorist activities, based 

on individual records in this system; (3) 

sharing with the National Archives and 

Records Administration for proper 

handling of government records; (4) 

sharing when relevant to litigation 

associated with the Federal government; 

and (5) sharing to protect the individual 

who is the subject of the record from the 

harm of identity theft in the case of a 

data breach affecting this system. 

DHS plans on publishing a Privacy 

Impact Assessment for DHS TRIP 

detailing the use and implementation of 

this System of Records in order to 

describe in detail specifics, including 

access procedures. 

The Privacy Act embodies fair 

information principles in a statutory 

framework governing the means by 


pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
2296 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 11 / Thursday, January 18, 2007 / Notices 

which the U.S. Government collects, 

maintains, uses, and discloses 

personally identifiable information. 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 

a name of an individual or by some 

identifying number, symbol, or other 

identifying particular assigned to the 

individual. Individuals may request 

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 that each 

agency publish in the Federal Register 

a description of 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 about the use made of 

personally identifiable information, and 

to assist the individual to more easily 

find files within the agency. 

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), a 

report on this system has been sent to 

Congress and the Office of Management 

and Budget.

Records System security protocols will 

meet applicable NIST Security 

Standards, from Authentication to 

Certification and Accreditation. Records 

in the system will be maintained in a 

secure, password-protected electronic 

system that will utilize security 

hardware and software to include 

multiple firewalls, active intruder 

detection, and role-based access 

controls. Additional safeguards will 

vary by component and program. All 

records are protected from unauthorized 

access through appropriate 

administrative, physical, and technical 

safeguards. These safeguards include 

restricting access to authorized 

personnel who have a need-to-know, 

using locks, and password protection 

identification features. DHS file areas 

are locked after normal duty hours and 

the facilities are protected from the 

outside by security personnel. 

Retention and disposal: 

DHS TRIP handles both information 

collected directly from the individual 

and information collected from DHS 

components and other agencies. DHS is 

working on a retention schedule with its 

Senior Records Officer for information 

collected directly from the individual. It 

is anticipated that the retention period 

for these records will be up to seven 

years. To the extent information is 

collected from other systems, data is 

retained in accordance with the record 

retention requirements of those systems. 

System manager(s) and address: 

The System Manager is the Program 

Manager, DHS TRIP, U.S. Department of 

Homeland Security, Washington, DC 

20528. 

Notification procedure: 

Any individual who wants to know 

whether this system of records contains 

a record about him or her may contact 

the System Manager, noted above. An email address and fax number will be 

provided to the individual after the 

submission of the redress request that 

may also be used. 

Record access procedures: 

Requests for access should be 

submitted to the System Manager when 

an individual seeks to access his or her 

information. Requesters will be required 

to provide adequate identification, such 

as a driver’s license, employee 

identification card, or other identifying 

document. Additional identification 

procedures may be required in some 

instances in accordance with various 

adjudication procedures related to the 

redress processing by DHS components 

or other agencies. 

Contesting record procedures: 

Requests for correction or amendment 

must identify the information to be 

changed and the corrective action 

sought. Requests must be submitted to 

the System Manager as provided above. 

Record source categories: 

Any person, including citizens and 

representatives of Federal, State or local 

governments; businesses; and 

industries. Any Federal system with

records appropriate and relevant to the 

redress process. 

Exemptions claimed for the system: 

No exemption shall be asserted with 

respect to information submitted by and 

collected from the individual or the 

individual’s representative in the course 

of any redress process associated with 

this System of Records. 

This system, however, may contain 

records or information recompiled from 

or created from information contained 

in other systems of records, which are 

exempt from certain provisions of the 

Privacy Act. For these records or 

information only, in accordance with 5 

U.S.C. 552a(j)(2), (k)(1), (k)(2), and 

(k)(5), DHS will also claim the original 

exemption for these records or 

information from subsections (c)(3) and 

(4); (d)(1), (2), (3), and (4); (e)(1), (2), (3), 

(4)(G) through (I), (5), and (8); (f); and (g) 

of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 

as necessary and appropriate to protect 

such information. Such exempt records 

or information may be law enforcement 

or national security investigation 

records, law enforcement activity and 

encounter records, or terrorist screening 

records. 

These records could come from 

various DHS systems, such as the 

Treasury Enforcement Communications 

System (TECS) and the Transportation 

Security Information System (TSIS), or 

from third agency systems. DHS, after 

conferring with the appropriate 

component or agency, may waive 

applicable exemptions in appropriate 

circumstances and where it would not 

appear to interfere with or adversely 

affect the law enforcement or national 

security purposes of the systems from 

which the information is recompiled or 

in which it is contained. As required 

under the Privacy Act, DHS will issue 

a rule to describe more fully the needs 

and requirements for taking such 

exemptions on such information.
