individuals and category of records, 

reflect an approved records retention 

schedule for records covered by this 

system, and modify two existing routine 

uses. Additionally, this notice includes

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 

1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, DHS/TSA proposes 

to modify and reissue a current DHS 

system of records notice (SORN) titled, 

‘‘DHS/TSA–001 Transportation Security 

Enforcement Record System System of 

Records.’’ 

This modification more clearly 

identifies that this SORN contains 

records relating to the TSA Insider 

Threat program. In furtherance of TSA’s 

responsibility for security in all modes 

of transportation and to ensure the 

adequacy of security measures at 

airports and other transportation 

facilities pursuant to its establishing 

legislation, the Aviation and 

Transportation Security Act (ATSA), 

Public Law 107–71, 49 U.S.C. 114(d) 

and (f), provides authority for TSA to 

establish its Insider Threat program in 

order to deter, detect, and mitigate 

insider threats to TSA’s personnel, 

operations, information, critical 

infrastructure, and transportation 

sectors subject to TSA authorities. For 

purposes of this TSA system of records, 

‘‘insider threats’’ are, or present 

themselves to be, current or former 

transportation sector workers (including 

both TSA and private sector personnel) 

and individuals employed or otherwise 

engaged in providing services requiring 

authorized access to transportation 

facilities, assets, or infrastructure who 

intend to cause harm to the 

transportation domain. 

This system of records is being 

modified to: Cover records relating to 

the TSA’s Insider Threat program; 

include a new category of individuals 

and category of records; reflect an 

approved records retention schedules 

for records covered by this system; and 

change existing routine uses. The 

category of individuals covered under 

this SORN will be modified to reflect 

that the system may contain information 

on both current and former owners, 

operators, and employees in all modes 

of transportation for which DHS/TSA 

has security-related duties; and will also 

cover individuals who have access to 

Sensitive Security Information (SSI) and 

are ‘‘covered persons’’ under the 

Sensitive Security Information 

regulation, 49 CFR part 1520.7. The 

category of records in this SORN will be 

modified to include place of birth; 

Government-issued identification; 

citizenship; results of any law 

enforcement, criminal history record, or 

open source checks; employment 

information and work history; and 

security and access clearances and 

background investigation information. 

This SORN also reflects that the 

applicable records retention schedules 

are approved by the National Archives 

and Records Administration (NARA). 

This SORN modifies routine uses ‘‘E’’ 

and ‘‘F’’ to be in conformity with Office 

of Management and Budget 

Memorandum M–17–12. This SORN
