System: The Department of Homeland 

Security REAL–ID ACT. 

Component: Department-wide 

Programs. 

Date of approval: March 1, 2007. 

The Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS) Privacy Office 

conducted a Privacy Impact Assessment 

(PIA) on the rule proposed by DHS to 

implement the REAL ID Act. The 

authority for this PIA is Subsection 4 of 

Section 222 of the Homeland Security 

Act of 2002, as amended, which calls for 

the Chief Privacy Officer of the 

Department of Homeland Security to 

conduct a ‘‘privacy impact assessment 

of proposed rules of the Department.’’ 

This analysis reflects the framework of 

the Privacy Office’s Fair Information 

Principles, which are: Transparency, 

Individual Participation, Purpose 

Specification, Minimization, Use 

Limitation, Data Quality and Integrity, 

Security, and Accountability and 

Auditing. The Privacy Office conducts 

PIAs, whether under Subsection 4 of 

Section 222 or under Section 208 of the 

E-Government Act, to ensure that DHS 

is fully transparent about how its 

proposed rules, final rules, and 

intended information technology 

systems may affect privacy and to 

review alternative approaches and 

technologies that may minimize the 

privacy impact on individuals. This PIA 

examines the manner and method by 

which the personal information of 

American drivers and identification (ID) 

holders will be collected, used, 

disseminated, and maintained pursuant 

to the proposed rule issued under the 

REAL ID Act. This PIA will be updated, 

as necessary, when the rule is final. 

System: U.S. Citizenship and 

Immigration Services’ Biometric Storage 

System. 

Component: U.S. Citizenship and 

Immigration Service. 

Date of approval: March 28, 2007. 

The United States Citizenship and 

Immigration Services (USCIS) is 

developing the Biometric Storage 

System (BSS) to help streamline the 

established USCIS biometric and card 

production processes and become the 

centralized repository for all USCIS 

customer biometrics. BSS will route, 

store, and process 10-print fingerprint 

biometrics and associated biographic 

information for biometric-based 

background checks on those individuals 

applying/petitioning for immigration 

benefits. BSS is a new system being 

developed incrementally and will 

replace the Image Storage and Retrieval 

System (ISRS). BSS will also replace 

aspects of the Benefit Biometric Support 

System (BBSS), while adding new 

functionalities that did not previously 

exist in either ISRS or BBSS. A Systems 

of Records Notice was published in the 

Federal Register in connection with this 

PIA on April 6, 2007 (72 FR 17172). 

System: Chemical Security 

Assessment Tool. 

Component: National Protection and 

Programs, formerly Preparedness. 

Date of approval: March 27, 2007. 

The Department of Homeland 

Security/National Protection and 

Programs, formerly Preparedness will 

deploy and maintain the Chemical 

Security Assessment Tool (CSAT) in 

support of the Regulations for Chemical 

Facility Security released on April 2, 

2007. The CSAT is designed to be a 

web-based self-assessment tool for use 

by chemical facilities. The CSAT will 

collect and maintain information for a 

Point of Contact for each participating 

facility. This PIA covers the new CSAT 

system. 

System: Transportation Security

Sharing System. 

Component: Transportation Security 

Administration. 

Date of approval: March 28, 2007. 

The Transportation Security 

Administration (TSA) operates the 

Tactical Information Sharing System 

(TISS). The TISS receives, assesses, and 

distributes intelligence information 

related to transportation security to 

Federal Air Marshals and other Federal, 

State, and local law enforcement. 

System: United States Visitor and 

Immigrant Status Indicator Technology

I–94 Data in the Arrival and Departure

Component: U.S. Visitor Immigrant 

Status Indicator Technology Program. 

Date of approval: March 27, 2007. 

This Privacy Impact Assessment 

update for the Arrival and Departure 

Information System is necessary to (1) 

clarify that I–94 data from land points 

of entry (POEs) is stored in ADIS and 

not just in the Treasury Enforcement 

Communications System; and (2) notify 

the public of the extension of the 

collection and processing of Form I–94 

data in ADIS to include air and sea 

POEs. 

Dated: April 23, 2007.
