**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 
I. Background

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Transportation Security Administration (TSA) proposes to update and reissue a DHS/TSA system of records notice titled, DHS/TSA—002 Transportation Security Threat Assessment System of Records (70 FR 33383, November 8, 2005).

TSA’s mission is to protect the nation’s transportation systems to ensure freedom of movement for people and commerce. To achieve this mission, TSA is required to develop and adapt its security programs to respond to evolving threats to transportation security. In accordance with the biennial review of this system, the following modifications are being made:

• The categories of individuals section is updated to expressly include
individuals who seek maritime or surface transportation facility access badges or credentials as well as individuals who undergo a security
threat assessment unassociated with a


### 28047 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 96 / Wednesday, May 19, 2010 / Notices

badge or credential. DHS/TSA is also adding individuals seeking to become, or qualified as, Certified Cargo Screening Program validators; individuals who are owners, operators, or directors of any mode of transportation; individuals who undergo security threat assessments or
evaluations in order to obtain access to
facilities over which DHS exercises authority to this system of records. Information regarding an individual’s level of access at transportation facilities other than airports over which DHS exercises authority, including
information on the termination or expiration of the individual’s access is now also included in the categories of records. The categories of individuals
also includes individuals who have been or seek to be distinguished from individuals on a watch list through a redress process or other means.

• The routine uses section is updated to incorporate five Department of Homeland Security (DHS) standard
routine uses. One routine use will allow release of information to appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when DHS/TSA suspects or has confirmed that the security or confidentiality of an information system of records has been compromised. Another routine use permits the release of information to the media when there exists a legitimate public interest in disclosing
information. Release under this routine use will require the approval of the DHS Chief Privacy Officer in consultation
with counsel. Another routine use
allows the release of information to a court, magistrate, administrative tribunal or opposing counsel or parties where a federal agency is a party or has an interest in the litigation or administrative proceeding. The fourth
routine use allows DHS/TSA to release information to a former employee when it is necessary to consult with the former employee regarding a matter that is within that person’s former area of responsibility. The fifth routine use
allows DHS/TSA to release information to appropriate entities where it would
assist in the enforcement of civil or
criminal laws.

• Additionally, DHS/TSA is revising a routine use by adding indirect air carriers and other facility operators as potential recipients of information about individuals who are their employees, job applicants, or contractors, or persons to whom they issue identification credentials or grant clearances to secured areas in transportation facilities when relevant to such employment, application, contract, training or the
issuance of such credentials or
clearances. • The retention and disposal section is updated to reflect the records retention schedule approved by the
National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

• The notification section was changed to reflect that inquiries regarding whether the applicable system
contains records about an individual
should be directed to The Transportation Security Administration
Freedom of Information Act Office.

The Security Threat Assessment System contains records related to security threat assessments, employment investigations, and
evaluations DHS/TSA conducts on certain individuals for security purposes. For example, individuals who apply for a Transportation Worker
Identification Credential or a Hazardous Materials Endorsement must undergo a security threat assessment and are covered by this system.

Portions of this system are exempt under 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(1) and (k)(2). In addition, to the extent a record contains information from other exempt systems of records, DHS/TSA will rely on the exemptions claimed for those systems as reflected in the final rule published on June 25, 2004 in 69 FR 35536. The
information is collected to conduct security threat assessments on individuals to ensure they do not pose, and are not suspected of posing, a threat to transportation or national security. Consistent with the Privacy Act, information stored in the Transportation Security Threat Assessment System may be shared with other DHS components, as well as appropriate federal, state, local, tribal, foreign, or international government agencies. This sharing will only take place 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.

II. Privacy Act

The Privacy Act embodies fair information principles in a statutory framework governing the means by
which the United States 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
United States 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. Individuals may request access
to their own records that are maintained in a system of records in the possession or under the control of DHS by complying with DHS Privacy Act regulations, 6 CFR part 5.

The Privacy Act requires each agency to publish in the Federal Register a description denoting the type and character of each system of records that the agency maintains, and the routine uses that are contained in each system in order to make agency record keeping practices transparent, to notify individuals regarding the uses to their records are put, and to assist individuals to more easily find such files within the agency. Below is the description of the DHS/TSA–002 Transportation Security Threat Assessment 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.
