SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 

1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS) U.S. 

Immigration and Customs Enforcement 

(ICE) proposes to update and reissue a 

current DHS system of records titled 

‘‘DHS/ICE–005 Trade Transparency 

Analysis and Research (TTAR) System 

of Records.’’ This system allows ICE 

Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) 

to collect and maintain records for the 

purpose of enforcing criminal and civil 

laws pertaining to customs violations, 

including trade-based money 

laundering. With this update, ICE is 

notifying the public of changes triggered 

by the replacement of the TTAR SORN’s 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 230 / Monday, December 1, 2014 / Notices 71113 

associated IT system, the Data Analysis 

and Research for Trade Transparency 

System (DARTTS), with FALCON– 

DARTTS, which replicates the 

functionality of and serves the same 

user groups as legacy DARTTS. The 

TTAR SORN is also being updated to 

expand coverage to a new ICE IT 

system, FALCON-Roadrunner. 

The FALCON Environment 

In 2012, HSI created a new IT 

environment called ‘‘FALCON’’ to 

support its law enforcement and 

criminal investigative mission. The 

FALCON environment is designed to 

permit ICE law enforcement and 

homeland security personnel to search 

and analyze data ingested from other 

government applications and systems, 

with appropriate user access restrictions 

at the data element level and robust user 

auditing controls. FALCON modules, 

such as FALCON–DARTTS and 

FALCON-Roadrunner, have been 

deployed in support of discrete HSI 

mission areas and work units. 

Data analyzed by the FALCON 

modules is aggregated and stored in the 

FALCON general data storage 

environment. The data stored in this 

environment is ingested on a routine or 

ad hoc basis from other existing sources 

and is structured and optimized for use 

with the analytical tools in FALCON– 

DARTTS, FALCON-Roadrunner, and the 

other FALCON modules. For more 

information on the FALCON 

environment, please see the FALCONSearch and Analysis PIA at 

www.dhs.gov/privacy. 

FALCON–DARTTS 

As described above, in January 2014, 

ICE migrated the DARTTS system to the 

HSI FALCON environment and 

launched FALCON–DARTTS. 

FALCON–DARTTS replicates the 

functionality of and serves the same 

user groups as the legacy DARTTS 

system. The purpose of FALCON– 

DARTTS is to allow HSI investigators to 

generate leads for, and otherwise 

support, investigations of trade-based 

money laundering, smuggling, 

commercial fraud, and other crimes 

within the jurisdiction of HSI. 

FALCON–DARTTS analyzes trade and 

financial data to identify statistically 

anomalous transactions that may 

warrant investigation. These anomalies 

are then independently confirmed and 

further investigated by HSI 

investigators. With the deployment of 

FALCON–DARTTS, the legacy DARTTS 

system (which included a component 

called ‘‘Foreign DARTTS’’ used by HSI’s 

foreign law enforcement and customs 

partners) was retired. 

ICE published a new PIA for 

FALCON–DARTTS on January 16, 2014, 

to address the migration from legacy 

DARTTS and to notify the public of 

several new system features, including 

(1) additional datasets and records and 

(2) an updated way in which datasets 

are physically separated. First, ICE has 

added to FALCON–DARTTS new 

financial data as well as records 

manually uploaded on an ad hoc basis, 

which may include financial records, 

business records, trade transaction 

records, and transportation records. 

Second, financial and law 

enforcement datasets analyzed by 

FALCON–DARTTS are maintained in 

the FALCON general data storage 

environment. In this environment, the 

data is aggregated with other FALCON 

data, and user access is controlled 

through a combination of data tagging, 

access control lists, and other 

technologies. Trade data (i.e., data 

relating to the importation and 

exportation of merchandise) is 

maintained separately in the FALCON– 

DARTTS trade data subsystem, which is 

physically and logically separate from 

the FALCON general data storage 

environment and contains different user 

access requirements, including 

requirements that export data only be 

used for enforcement actions involving 

cargo safety and security or to prevent 

smuggling, than the overarching 

FALCON–SA data storage environment. 

All FALCON–DARTTS users, including 

select foreign law enforcement and 

customs officials who have access to the 

system, access trade data through the 

trade data subsystem. The PIA for 

FALCON–DARTTS is available at 

www.dhs.gov/privacy. 

FALCON-Roadrunner 

FALCON-Roadrunner is a new system 

that analyzes export and financial data 

across large, disparate trade, financial, 

law enforcement, and other 

commercially- and publicly-available 

datasets. The system creates and 

automatically applies repeatable, 

analytical queries and processes to 

determine non-obvious, anomalous 

behaviors, patterns, and relationships 

within and across the large-scale 

datasets. These anomalies, patterns, and 

relationships provide leads that may 

warrant investigation for violation of 

U.S. export laws and regulations. Once 

identified, anomalies are then 

independently confirmed and further 

investigated by HSI investigators. 

FALCON-Roadrunner also supports 

HSI by providing export enforcementrelated statistical reporting capabilities, 

derived from trade and financial data. 

These statistical functions discern, 

describe, and document trends within 

the datasets associated with 

proliferation, export licensing, and other 

export enforcement trends in order to 

inform ICE decision makers. The PIA for 

FALCON-Roadrunner is being 

published concurrently with this update 

to the DHS/ICE–005 TTAR System of 

Records and is available at 

www.dhs.gov/privacy. 

Changes to Categories of Individuals, 

Categories of Records, Retention, and 

Record Sources 

With the migration of DARTTS to 

FALCON–DARTTS and the deployment 

of FALCON-Roadrunner, the TTAR 

system of records is being modified to 

(1) update existing and include new 

categories of individuals; (2) clarify 

existing and include new categories of 

records; (3) reflect a proposed change to 

the retention period of the data; and (4) 

update the description of the record 

sources. 

Existing categories of individuals in 

the DHS/ICE–005 TTAR SORN have 

been updated to include additional 

individuals. Individuals whose financial 

records have been lawfully obtained by 

law enforcement agencies during official 

investigations, legal processes, and/or 

legal settlements have been added to 

category (2) below; individuals 

identified on other denied parties or 

screening lists have been added to 

category (3) below; and individuals 

identified in TECS investigative records 

have been added to category (4) below. 

In addition, a new category of 

individuals has been added to cover 

applicants for U.S. visas and other 

individuals identified on visa 

applications. 

Existing categories of records have 

been updated to clarify and simplify the 

description of records. Previously 

categorized as ‘‘customs, trade, and 

financial data,’’ these records are now 

described separately as ‘‘trade data’’ and 

‘‘financial data.’’ In addition, new law 

enforcement records have been added, 

including TECS investigative records, 

visa security information, and tradebased and financial sanction screening 

lists. 

The retention period for data 

maintained under the TTAR system of 

records is also being updated. 

Previously, data was maintained in the 

legacy DARTTS system for five years, 

archived for an additional five years, 

and then deleted. ICE intends to request 

National Archives and Records 

Administration (NARA) approval to 

retire the legacy DARTTS retention 

schedule. Datasets analyzed by 

FALCON–DARTTS and FALCONRoadrunner will be incorporated into 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
71114 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 230 / Monday, December 1, 2014 / Notices 

the forthcoming retention schedule for 

the FALCON environment. ICE is 

proposing to retain datasets used in 

support of FALCON–DARTTS and 

FALCON-Roadrunner for ten years. 

Some of the data analyzed by FALCON– 

DARTTS and FALCON-Roadrunner is 

already maintained in the FALCON 

environment and subject to a proposed 

retention period there; however, 

FALCON–DARTTS and FALCONRoadrunner will only access these 

existing datasets for ten years. 

Lastly, new records sources have been 

added as a result of the new datasets 

covered by this system of records. New 

data sources added to this system of 

records includes additional federal, 

state, and local government agencies; 

companies; and commercially and 

publicly available datasets. 

Consistent with DHS’s information 

sharing mission, information stored in 

the DHS/ICE–005 TTAR System of 

Records 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, DHS/ICE may share 

information 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 system of 

records notice. This updated system 

will be included in DHS’s inventory of 

record systems. 

II. Privacy Act 

The Privacy Act embodies fair 

information practice principles in a 

statutory framework governing the 

means by which the 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 

amended DHS/ICE–005 Trade 

Transparency Analysis and Research

to such audit or oversight function. 

E. To agencies, entities, and persons 

when: 

(1) DHS suspects or has confirmed 

that the security or confidentiality of 

information in the system of records has 

been compromised; 

(2) DHS has determined that as a 

result of the suspected or confirmed 

compromise there is a risk of identity 

theft or fraud, harm to the economic or 

property interests, harm to an 

individual, or harm to the security or 

integrity of this system or other systems 

or programs (whether maintained by 

DHS or another agency or entity) that

DISCLOSURE TO CONSUMER REPORTING

AGENCIES: 

None. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, 

RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND

DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

STORAGE: 

Records in this system are stored 

electronically or on paper in secure 

facilities in a locked drawer behind a 

locked door. The records are stored on 

magnetic disc, tape, digital media, and 

CD–ROM. 

RETRIEVABILITY: 

Records may be retrieved by any of 

the personal identifiers stored in the 

system including name, business 

address, home address, importer ID, 

exporter ID, broker ID, manufacturer ID, 

Social Security number, trade and tax 

identifying numbers, passport number, 

or account number. Records may also be 

retrieved by non-personal information 

such as transaction date, entity or 

institution name, description of goods, 

value of transactions, and other 

information. 

SAFEGUARDS: 

Records in this system are 

safeguarded in accordance with 

applicable rules and policies, including 

all applicable DHS automated systems 

security and access policies. Strict 

controls have been imposed to minimize 

the risk of compromising the 

information that is being stored. Access 

to the computer system containing the 

records in this system is limited to those 

individuals who have a need to know 

the information for the performance of 

their official duties and who have 

appropriate clearances or permissions. 

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: 

ICE is proposing to retain FALCON– 

DARTTS and FALCON-Roadrunner 

datasets for ten years. Some of the law 

enforcement data analyzed by 

FALCON–DARTTS and FALCONRoadrunner is already maintained in the 

FALCON environment and subject to a 

proposed retention period there; 

however, FALCON–DARTTS and 

FALCON-Roadrunner will only access 

these existing datasets for ten years. 

SYSTEM MANAGER AND ADDRESS: 

FALCON–DARTTS: Unit Chief, Trade 

Transparency Unit, ICE Homeland 

Security Investigations, 500 12th Street 

SW., Mail Stop 5103, Washington, DC 

20536. 

FALCON-Roadrunner: Deputy 

Assistant Director, Counter-Proliferation

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE: 

The Secretary of Homeland Security 

has exempted this system from 

notification, access, and amendment 

because of the law enforcement nature 

of the information. These exemptions 

also apply to the extent that information 

in this system of records is recompiled 

or is created from information contained 

in other systems of records. To the 

extent that a record is exempted in a 

source system, the exemption will 

continue to apply. However, ICE will 

review requests on a case by case to 

determine if release of the information 

is appropriate. After conferring with the 

appropriate component or agency, as 

applicable, DHS may waive applicable 

exemptions in appropriate 

circumstances and when it would not 

appear to interfere with or adversely 

affect the law enforcement purposes of 

the systems from which the information 

is recompiled or in which it is 

contained. Additionally, ICE and DHS 

are not exempting any records that were 

ingested or indexed by TTAR when the 

source system of records already 

provides access and/or amendment 

under the Privacy Act. Individuals 

seeking notification of and access to any 

record contained in this system of 

records, or seeking to contest its 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 230 / Monday, December 1, 2014 / Notices 71117 

content, may submit a request in writing 

to the ICE Freedom of Information Act 

Officer whose contact information can 

be found at http://www.dhs.gov/foia 

under ‘‘contacts.’’ If an individual 

believes more than one component 

maintains Privacy Act records 

concerning him or her the individual 

may submit the request to the Chief 

Privacy Officer and Chief Freedom of 

Information Act Officer, Department of 

Homeland Security, 245 Murray Drive 

SW., Building 410, STOP–0655, 

Washington, DC 20528. 

When seeking records about yourself 

from this system of records or any other 

Departmental system of records your 

request must conform with the Privacy 

Act regulations set forth in 6 CFR part 

5. You must first verify your identity, 

meaning that you must provide your full 

name, current address, and date and 

place of birth. You must sign your 

request, and your signature must either 

be notarized or submitted under 28 

U.S.C. 1746, a law that permits 

statements to be made under penalty of 

perjury as a substitute for notarization. 

While no specific form is required, you 

may obtain forms for this purpose from 

the Chief Privacy Officer and Chief 

Freedom of Information Act Officer, 

http://www.dhs.gov or 1–866–431–0486. 

In addition you should provide the 

following: 

• An explanation of why you believe 

the Department would have information 

on you; 

• Identify which component(s) of the 

Department you believe may have the 

information about you; 

• Specify when you believe the 

records would have been created; 

• Provide any other information that 

will help the FOIA staff determine 

which DHS component agency may 

have responsive records; and 

• If your request is seeking records 

pertaining to another living individual, 

you must include a statement from that 

individual certifying his/her agreement 

for you to access his/her records. 

Without this bulleted information the 

component(s) may not be able to 

conduct an effective search, and your 

request may be denied due to lack of 

specificity or lack of compliance with 

applicable regulations.
