    This system was originally established to collect and maintain 
records for the purpose of determining an individual applicant's 
qualification for and/or compensation to benefits under the 9/11 Heroes 
Stamp Act of 2001. While this fund originated through legislation, all 
funds have now been exhausted so the program is closed pursuant to the 
originating legislation. The legislation stated that all funds 
collected through the sale of the 9/11 Heroes Stamp be distributed.
    The records in the system are considered permanent Federal 
Government records, as 9/11 records are permanent records. NARA will 
not destroy the records once the system is retired and records are 
transferred. In accordance with the records schedule for the 9/11 
Heroes Stamp Act of 2001 File System, records are transferred to NARA 
one year and six months after the closure of the file. All records 
within this system will be archived under records schedule number N1-
311-04-05.
    Retiring this system of records notice will have no adverse impacts 
on individuals, but will promote the overall streamlining and 
management of DHS Privacy Act systems of records.

    Dated: March 1, 2010.
Mary Ellen Callahan,
Chief Privacy Officer, Department of Homeland Security.
