**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 
I. Background

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) United States Coast Guard (USCG) proposes to update and reissue an existing DHS system of records titled, ‘‘DHS/USCG–029 Notice of Arrival and Departure (NOAD) System of Records.’’

USCG collects information related to
NOAD for U.S. vessels in commercial service and all foreign vessels bound for or departing from ports or waterways
within the United States. This
information is maintained within the Ship Arrival Notification System (SANS), as well as other USCG systems used for screening and vetting of vessels, primarily, but not exclusively, through Marine Information for Safety and Law Enforcement (MISLE), DHS/ USCG–013, June 25, 2009, 74 FR 30305
and the Maritime Awareness Global Network (MAGNet) System of Records Notice, DHS/USCG–061, May 15, 2008, 73 FR 28143. Information is retrieved from the SANS by vessel and not by personal identifier; however, USCG uses
the information taken from the SANS in other systems to conduct screening and vetting of individuals pursuant to its mission for protecting and securing the

maritime sector.

The information that is required to be collected and submitted through
Electronic Notice of Arrival and Departure (eNOAD) can be found on routine arrival/departure documents that passengers and crewmembers must provide to DHS when entering or departing the United States. eNOAD information includes complete name, date and place of birth, gender, country of citizenship, travel/mariner document type, number and country of issuance, expiration date, country of residence, status on board the vessel, and U.S. destination address (except for U.S. Citizens, lawful permanent residents, crew and those in transit).

Additionally, vessel carriers and operators must provide the vessel name, vessel country of registry/flag, International Maritime Organization (IMO) number or other official number, voyage number, date of arrival/ departure, and foreign port where the passengers and crew members began/ terminate their sea transportation to the
United States.

USCG will collect vessel particulars that are submitted by the vessel owner, agent, master, operator, or person in charge of a vessel in advance of a vessel’s arrival or departure from the
U.S. The information will be used to perform counterterrorism, law enforcement, safety and security queries to identify risks to the vessel or to the
United States.

The purpose of the information
collection is to assess risk to vessels arriving to or departing from a U.S. port and to identify vessels that may pose a safety or security risk to the United

States.

The information collection allows
USCG to facilitate the effective and efficient entry and departure of vessels
into and from the U.S. and assist the USCG with assigning priorities while conducting maritime safety and security
missions in accordance with international and U.S. regulations.

NOAD information is maintained for a period of no more than ten years or when no longer needed, whichever is longer, from the date of collection at
which time the data is deleted. Should derogatory information be discovered by USCG either through TECS or USCG’s own sources, such information would be communicated either through USCG’s MAGNet, the Coast Guard


### 69750 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 217 / Wednesday, November 9, 2011 / Notices

1 See http://www.dhs.gov/privacy for PIAs for MAGNet and the Law Enforcement Intelligence Database (LEIDB), a system used to analyze USCG message traffic. Messaging System (CGMS), or other USCG systems. 1 NOAD data is transmitted to the Intelligence Coordination Center (ICC) and stored in the CoastWatch Pre-Arrival Processing Program (CP3). NOAD data within CP3 is destroyed or deleted when no longer needed for reference, or when ten years old, whichever is later.

As a result of the biennial review of this system, the purpose and the record source categories have been amended to include cargo. Cargo has been collected under previous rulemaking but was
never included in the SORN. Disclosure to consumer reporting agencies category
has also been added.

Consistent with DHS’ information sharing mission, information stored in NOAD may be shared with other DHS components, as well as appropriate federal, state, local, Tribal, territorial foreign, or international government agencies. This sharing will only occur 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. This 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 U.S. 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 U.S. 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. The SANS is not a system of records, but NOAD
information maintained in the SANS
can be removed and used in other systems within USCG. Below is the description of the DHS/United States Coast Guard-029 Notice of Arrival and Departure 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 (OMB) and to Congress.

**DISCLOSURE TO CONSUMER REPORTING**

**AGENCIES :** 

None.

**POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING**
**, RETRIEVING** 
**, ACCESSING** 
**, RETAINING** 
**, AND** 

**DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM :** 

**STORAGE :** 

NOAD information is stored electronically in the SANS located at USCG Operations Systems Center in Kearneysville, WV. USCG uses an alternative storage facility for the SANS historical logs and system backups. Derivative NOAD system data may be
stored on USCG Standard Workstation III computers or USCG unit servers located at USCG Headquarters, headquarters units, area offices, sector offices, sector sub-unit offices, and other
locations where USCG authorized personnel may be posted to facilitate

DHS’ mission.

**RETRIEVABILITY :** 

NOAD information maintained in the SANS is not retrievable by name or other unique personal identifier. NOAD
information is extracted from the SANS by vessel and then retrieved by name,


### 69752 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 217 / Wednesday, November 9, 2011 / Notices

passport number, or other unique personal identifier.

**SAFEGUARDS :** 

NOAD data in the SANS is safeguarded in accordance with applicable laws, rules, and policies. All records are protected from unauthorized access through appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards. These safeguards include role-based access provisions, restricting access to authorized personnel who have a need-to-know, using locks, and password protection identification
features. USCG file areas are locked after normal duty hours and the facilities are protected from the outside by security personnel.

The system manager, in addition, hasthe capability to maintain system backups for the purpose of supporting continuity of operations and the discrete need to isolate and copy specific data access transactions for the purpose of conducting security incident investigations.

All communication links with the USCG datacenter are encrypted. The
databases are Certified and Accredited in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA).

**RETENTION AND DISPOSAL :** 

In accordance with NARA Disposition Authority number N1–026–05–11,
NOAD information on vessels and
individuals maintained in the SANS is destroyed or deleted when no longer needed for reference, or after ten years old, whichever is later. Why does this seem much more general than other
retention schedules? Is this consistent
with other discussions of retention?

Outputs, which include ad-hoc reports generated for local and immediate use to provide a variety of interested parties, for example, Captain of the Port and marine safety offices, sea marshals, Customs and Border Patrol, Immigration and Customs Enforcement with the necessary information to set up security zones, scheduling boarding andinspections activities, actions for noncompliance with regulations, and other activities in support of USCG’s mission to provide for safety and security of U.S. ports, will be deleted after five years if they do not constitute a permanent record according to NARA.
