SECURITY 

[Docket No. DHS–2018–0017] 

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: Department of Homeland 

Security, Transportation Security 

Administration. 

ACTION: Notice of a modified system of 

records. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to 

modify and reissue a current DHS 

system of records titled, ‘‘DHS/ 

Transportation Security Administration001 Transportation Security 

Enforcement Record System System of 

Records.’’ This system of records allows 

DHS/Transportation Security 

Administration (TSA) to collect and 

maintain records related to the TSA’s 

screening of passengers and property, as 

well as records related to the 

investigation or enforcement of 

transportation security laws, 

regulations, directives, or Federal, State, 

local, or international law. For example, 

records relating to an investigation of a 

security incident that occurred during 

passenger or property screening would 

be covered by this system. DHS is 

updating this system of records notice to 

cover records relating to the TSA Insider 

Threat program, modify the category of 

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 

non-substantive changes to simplify the 

formatting and text of the previously 

published notice. The existing Privacy 

Act exemptions for this system of 

records will continue to apply. 

This modified system will be 

included in DHS’s inventory of record 

systems. 

DATES: Submit comments on or before 

September 27, 2018. This modified 

system will be effective upon 

publication. New or modified routine 

uses for this modified system of records 

will be effective September 27, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,

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 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 167 / Tuesday, August 28, 2018 / Notices 43889 

also combines two previous routines 

uses into one routine use ‘‘K’’ regarding 

the sharing of information relevant and 

necessary to a requesting agency’s 

decision concerning the hiring or 

retention of an individual or issuance of 

a credential or clearance. Additionally, 

this notice includes non-substantive 

changes to simplify the formatting and 

text of the previously published notice. 

Consistent with DHS’s information 

sharing mission, information covered by 

DHS/TSA–001 Transportation Security 

Enforcement Record System 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, TSA may share information 

with appropriate Federal, State, local, 

tribal, territorial, foreign, or 

international government agencies 

consistent with any applicable laws, 

rules, regulations, and information 

sharing and access agreements or 

arrangements, and as permitted 

pursuant to an applicable Privacy Act 

authorized disclosure, including routine 

uses set forth in this system of records 

notice. 

As stated above, this modified system 

of records will rely on an existing rule 

for exempting TSA from certain 

provisions of the Privacy Act pursuant 

to 5 U.S.C. secs. 552a(j)(2), (k)(1), and 

(k)(2). These exemptions are reflected in 

the final rule published on August 4, 

2006, in 71 FR 44223. This modified 

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 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. Additionally, the Judicial 

Redress Act (JRA) provides covered 

persons with a statutory right to make 

requests for access and amendment to 

covered records, as defined by the JRA, 

along with judicial review for denials of 

such requests. In addition, the JRA 

prohibits disclosures of covered records, 

except as otherwise permitted by the 

Privacy Act. 

Below is the description of the DHS/ 

TSA–001 Transportation Security 

Enforcement Record System 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 and to 

Congress.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF

RECORDS: 

DHS/TSA stores records in this 

system electronically or on paper in 

secure facilities in a locked drawer 

behind a locked door. The records may 

be stored on magnetic disc, tape, and 

digital media. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF

RECORDS: 

DHS/TSA retrieves records by name, 

address, Social Security number, 

administrative action or legal 

enforcement numbers, or other assigned 

identifier of the individual on whom the 

records are maintained. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND

DISPOSAL OF RECORDS: 

Retention and disposal varies 

depending on the type of record. 

Passenger, baggage, and cargo screening 

incident reports that are not referred for 

investigation are maintained for three 

years from the end of the fiscal year in 

which they were created, in accordance 

with NARA authority, N1–560–12–002. 

Security incident reports are cut off at 

the end of involvement and destroyed 

four years after cut-off (N1–560–03–6). 

Items that are referred for investigation 

within TSA or to an outside agency are 

destroyed 25 years after the case is 

closed (N1–560–03–6). Insider Threat 

information and inquiry records are 

destroyed no sooner than five years after 

an inquiry is opened and 25 years after 

a case is closed, in accordance with 

NARA authority DAA–GRS–2017–0006. 

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL

SAFEGUARDS: 

DHS/TSA safeguards records in this 

system according to applicable rules 

and policies, including all applicable 

DHS automated systems security and 

access policies. TSA has imposed strict 

controls 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. 

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES: 

The Secretary of Homeland Security 

has exempted this system from the 

notification, access, and amendment 

procedures of the Privacy Act, and the 

Judicial Redress Act if applicable, 

because it is a law enforcement system. 

However, DHS/TSA will consider 

individual requests to determine 

whether or not information may be 

released. Thus, individuals seeking 

access to and notification of any record 

contained in this system of records, or 

seeking to contest its content, may 

submit a request in writing to the Chief 

Privacy Officer and the TSA Freedom of 

Information Act (FOIA) Officer, whose 

contact information can be found at 

http://www.dhs.gov/foia under 

‘‘Contacts Information.’’ 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 FOIA Officer, 

Department of Homeland Security, 

Washington, DC 20528–0655. Even if 

neither the Privacy Act nor the Judicial 

Redress Act provide a right of access, 

certain records about you may be 

available under FOIA. 

When an individual is seeking records 

about himself or herself from this 

system of records or any other 

Departmental system of records, the 

individual’s request must conform with 

the Privacy Act regulations set forth in 

6 CFR part 5. The individual must first 

verify your identity, meaning that the 

individual must provide his/her full 

name, current address, and date and 

place of birth. The individual must sign 

his/her request, and the individual’s 

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, an individual may obtain 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
43892 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 167 / Tuesday, August 28, 2018 / Notices 

forms for this purpose from the Chief 

Privacy Officer and Chief FOIA Officer,

should: 

• Explain why he or she believes the 

Department would have information on 

him/her; 

• Identify which component(s) of the 

Department the individual believes may 

have the information about him/her; 

• Specify when the individual 

believes the records would have been 

created; and 

• Provide any other information that 

will help the FOIA staff determine 

which DHS component agency may 

have responsive records; 

If an individual’s request is seeking 

records pertaining to another living 

individual, the first individual must 

include a statement from the second 

individual certifying his/her agreement 

for you to access his/her records. 

Without the above information, the 

component(s) may not be able to 

conduct an effective search, and the 

individual’s request may be denied due 

to lack of specificity or lack of 

compliance with applicable regulations. 

CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES: 

For records covered by the Privacy 

Act or covered JRA records, individuals 

may make a request for amendment or 

correction of a record of the Department 

about the individual by writing directly 

to the Department component that 

maintains the record, unless the record 

is not subject to amendment or 

correction. The request should identify 

each particular record in question, state 

the amendment or correction desired, 

and state why the individual believes 

that the record is not accurate, relevant, 

timely, or complete. The individual may 

submit any documentation that would 

be helpful. If the individual believes 

that the same record is in more than one 

system of records, the request should 

state that and be addressed to each 

component that maintains a system of 

records containing the record. 

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES: 

See ‘‘Record Access Procedures.’’
