information and technologies that could 

be misused to pose a biological threat to 

public health and/or national security. 

The NSABB is being convened on 

March 29–30, 2012, to review two 

unpublished manuscripts on the 

transmissibility of highly pathogenic 

avian influenza H5N1 virus and to 

provide recommendations about the 

responsible communication of such 

information. In addition, representatives 

from the Intelligence Community will 

present a classified briefing to the 

NSABB. 

The NSABB meeting will be closed to 

the public in accordance with the 

provisions set forth in section 

552b(c)(9)(B), Title 5 U.S.C. as amended,

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND 

SECURITY 

Office of the Secretary 

Published Privacy Impact 

Assessments on the Web 

AGENCY: Privacy Office, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of Publication of Privacy 

Impact Assessments (PIA). 

SUMMARY: The Privacy Office of DHS is 

making available eleven PIAs on various 

programs and systems in DHS. These 

assessments were approved and 

published on the Privacy Office’s Web 

site between December 1, 2011 and 

February 29, 2012. 

DATES: The PIAs will be available on the 

DHS Web site until May 21, 2012, after 

which they may be obtained by 

contacting the DHS Privacy Office 

(contact information below). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Mary Ellen Callahan, Chief Privacy 

Officer, Department of Homeland 

Security, Washington, DC 20528, or 

email: pia@hq.dhs.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Between 

December 1, 2011 and February 29, 

2012 the Chief Privacy Officer of the 

DHS approved and published eleven 

Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) on 

the DHS Privacy Office Web site, 

www.dhs.gov/privacy, under the link for 

‘‘Privacy Impact Assessments.’’ These 

PIAs cover eleven separate DHS 

programs. Below is a short summary of 

those programs, indicating the DHS 

component responsible for the system, 

and the date on which the PIA was 

approved. Additional information can 

be found on the web site or by 

contacting the Privacy Office. 

System: DHS/USSS/PIA–007 Forensic 

Services Division (FSD) Polygraph 

System. 

Component: United States Secret 

Service (USSS). 

Date of approval: December 15, 2011. 

The FSD Polygraph Branch of the 

USSS uses the FSD Polygraph system to 

track all polygraph examinations that it 

administers. This database contains 

information on applicant and criminal 

polygraph examinations and their 

results. USSS is conducting this PIA 

because this system contains PII of 

individuals who undergo an exam. 

System: DHS/FEMA/PIA–019 

Firehouse Database (Unclassified and 

Classified). 

Component: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA). 

Date of approval: December 15, 2011. 

The U.S. DHS FEMA Mount Weather 

Emergency Operations Center (MWEOC) 

Emergency Services Division (ESD) 

owns and operates two Firehouse 

Databases: (1) Firehouse Database 

(classified); and (2) Firehouse Database 

(unclassified). The difference between 

the two databases is that the classified 

Firehouse Database contains classified 

locations on which MWEOC ESD may 

respond at the MWEOC facility. FEMA 

uses the unclassified and classified 

Firehouse Databases to manage the 

collection, documentation, and 

reporting of information about 

emergency incidents, incident 

investigations, site inventory and 

inspections, staffing, scheduling, and 

personnel certifications and training of 

FEMA paramedics, emergency 

management technicians, firefighters, 

and other first responders at MWEOC 

ESD. FEMA is conducting this PIA 

because FEMA’s unclassified and 

classified Firehouse Databases collects, 

uses, maintains, retrieves, and 

disseminates PII of MWEOC residents, 

employees and contractors, visitors, as 

well as members of the immediate local 

community surrounding MWEOC. This 

PIA covers both the unclassified and 

classified Firehouse Databases. 

System: DHS/ALL/PIA–028(a) 

Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and 

Privacy Act (PA) Records Program 

Update. 

Component: DHS. 

Date of approval: December 16, 2011. 

The DHS Privacy Office is publishing 

an update to the current PIA, DHS/ALL/ 

PIA–028, which outlines the risks 

presented by the use of PII in the 

various FOIA and PA processes and 

systems employed by DHS. This update 

introduces the use of a FOIA software 

application used for tracking FOIA 

requests.

System: DHS/FEMA/PIA–020 

Integrated Financial Management 

Information System (IFMIS) Merger. 

Component: FEMA. 

Date of approval: December 16, 2011. 

The U.S. DHS FEMA’s Office of the 

Chief Financial Officer owns and 

operates the IFMIS-Merger system. 

IFMIS-Merger is FEMA’s official 

accounting and financial management 

system that pulls all financial data from 

other FEMA, DHS, and Governmentwide systems (subsystems), and is the 

source of data for both internal and 

external financial reporting. The system 

records and tracks all financial 

transactions. FEMA is conducting this 

PIA because IFMIS-Merger collects uses, 

maintains, retrieves, and disseminates 

PII once pulled from the subsystems. 

System: DHS/S&T/PIA–012(a) Future 

Attribute Screening Technology (FAST) 

Passive Methods for Precision 

Behavioral Screening. 

Component: Science and Technology 

(S&T). 

Date of approval: December 21, 2011. 

The DHS Privacy Office is publishing 

an update to the current PIA, DHS/S&T/ 

PIA–012 to increase the performance of 

FAST primary screening procedures and 

to increase the ability to differentiate 

malintent through the inclusion of 

passive stimuli. The FAST project, 

managed by the Human Factors/ 

Behavioral Sciences Division (HFD), 

Homeland Security Advanced Research 

Projects Agency (HSARPA), S&T 

Directorate seeks to develop 

physiological and behavioral screening 

technologies that will enable security 

officials to test the effectiveness of 

current screening methods at evaluating 

suspicious behaviors and judging the 

implications of those behaviors. The 

FAST research is adding a new type of 

research, the Passive Methods for 

Precision Behavioral Screening 

(hereinafter FAST/Passive). The 

purpose of the FAST/Passive study is to 

build upon existing FAST research 

using volunteers and increase the 

performance of FAST primary screening 

procedures and to increase the ability to 

differentiate malintent through the 

inclusion of passive stimuli. The aim of 

the FAST/Passive study is to devise 

passive stimuli that will evoke 

malintent cues and incorporate these 

stimuli into the FAST screening project. 

The ultimate goal of the FAST screening 

project after the testing has been 

completed is to equip security officials 

with quantitative tools to rapidly assess 

potential and unknown threats. 

System: DHS/USSS/PIA–008 Secret 

Service Use of Advanced Imaging 

Technology (AIT). 

Component: USSS. 

Date of approval: December 23, 2011. 

USSS is deploying AIT, at Secret 

Service protective sites. This technology 

creates an image of the full body that 

highlights anomalies that are on the 

body. It is used as a secondary means of 

personnel screening at protected sites, 

and used after the primary screening 

measures indicate that an individual 

requires an additional level of 

screening. 

To address privacy concerns 

associated with creating an image of an 

individual’s body, the Secret Service 

employee who examines the image is at 

a remote location and cannot see the 

person who is being screened, only the 

image produced by the AIT. The Secret 

Service employee that is in the room 

with the person being imaged can 

communicate with the Secret Service 

employee who examines the image, but 

cannot view the image. 

The image of the individual is not 

linked in any way to the individual nor 

does it they provide sufficient detail to 

be used for personal identification. The 

AIT does not have the capability to 

store, transmit, or print these images. In 

addition, an electronic privacy filter is 

applied to the remotely viewed image 

which renders the facial features 

unrecognizable. 

System: DHS/ALL/PIA–041 One DHS 

Overstay Vetting Pilot. 

Component: DHS. 

Date of approval: December 29, 2011. 

DHS is conducting the One DHS 

Overstay Vetting Pilot to improve DHS’ 

ability to identify and vet foreign 

nationals who have remained in the 

United States beyond their authorized 

period of admission (overstays). The 

pilot will attempt to streamline data 

sharing between the National Protection 

and Programs Directorate’s United 

States Visitor and Immigrant Status 

Indicator Technology (US–VISIT) 

Program, U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection, and U.S. Immigration and 

Customs Enforcement (ICE). The 

overstay vetting process is covered by 

existing PIAs for the CBP Automated 

Targeting System (ATS), US–VISIT 

Technical Reconciliation Analysis 

Classification System, and US–VISIT 

Arrival Departure Information System. 

In addition to this existing coverage, 

US–VISIT has worked with the DHS 

Privacy Office to complete this PIA 

specific to the Overstay Vetting Pilot to 

add another layer of analysis and 

transparency to this specific process 

which can be updated as the program 

matures. Data sharing conducted 

through this program allows DHS to 

better identify which individuals have 

overstayed their authorized periods of 

admission, and of those overstays, 

which are the highest law enforcement 

or national security priority for 

enforcement action by ICE. DHS is 

conducting this PIA because the pilot 

increases the sharing within DHS of PII 

about travelers. 

System: DHS/TSA/PIA–036 TSA 

Canine Web site System (CWS). 

Component: TSA. 

Date of approval: January 13, 2012. 

Under the Aviation and 

Transportation Security Act, the TSA is 

responsible for security in all modes of 

transportation. TSA’s National 

Explosives Detection Canine Team 

Program (NEDCTP) prepares dogs and 

handlers to quickly locate and identify 

dangerous materials that may present a 

threat to transportation systems. The 

NEDCTP operates the CWS, which is a 

web-based system designed to assist in 

coordinating operations. The CWS is the 

central management database for all 

NEDCTP records and operations. The 

CWS collects PII to facilitate training, 

foster communication, and to perform 

administrative functions. Because this 

program entails a new collection of 

information by TSA about members of 

the public in an identifiable form, the EGovernment Act of 2002 and the 

Homeland Security Act of 2002 require 

that the TSA conduct a PIA. 

System: DHS/TSA/PIA–012 

Transportation Worker Identification 

Credential Program. 

Component: TSA. 

Date of approval: January 13, 2012. 

The TSA Directorate’s TWIC system 

has undergone a PIA 3-Year Review. 

The PIA requires no changes and 

continues to accurately relate to its 

stated mission. 

The TSA published a joint Final Rule 

with the United States Coast Guard to 

implement a TWIC program to provide 

a biometric credential that can be used 

to confirm the identity of workers in the 

national transportation system, and 

conducted a PIA associated with that 

Final Rule. TSA is amended the PIA to 

reflect the development of TWIC 

contactless card capability in sections 

1.4, 1.6, 9.2 and 9.3, and the approval 

of the records schedule by NARA in 

section 3. 

System: DHS/ICE/PIA–032 FALCON 

Search & Analysis System (FALCON– 

SA). 

Component: ICE. 

Date of approval: February 1, 2012. 

U.S. ICE, a component agency within 

the DHS, is establishing a consolidated 

information management system called 

FALCON Search & Analysis System 

(hereafter, FALCON–SA). This system 

enables ICE law enforcement and 

homeland security personnel to search, 

analyze and visualize volumes of 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
16848 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 56 / Thursday, March 22, 2012 / Notices 

existing information in support of ICE’s 

mission to enforce and investigate 

violations of U.S. criminal and 

administrative laws. ICE agents, 

criminal research specialists, and 

intelligence analysts use FALCON–SA 

to conduct research that support the 

production of law enforcement 

intelligence products, provide lead 

information for investigative inquiry 

and follow-up, assist in the conduct of 

ICE criminal and administrative 

investigations, assist in the disruption of 

terrorist or other criminal activity, and 

discover previously unknown 

connections among existing ICE 

investigations. ICE’s use of the system is 

always predicated on homeland 

security, law enforcement, and 

intelligence activities. FALCON–SA is 

an internal system used only by ICE. 

In order to mitigate privacy and 

security risks associated with the 

deployment of FALCON–SA, ICE has 

built technical safeguards into the 

system and developed a governance 

process that includes the operational 

components of ICE Homeland Security 

Investigations, the oversight functions of 

the ICE Privacy Office, Office Principal 

Legal Advisor, and Office of the Chief 

Information Officer. 

This PIA is necessary because 

FALCON–SA accesses and stores PII 

retrieved from DHS, other government 

agency, and commercially available 

databases. It is also necessary to provide 

public notice of the existence of 

FALCON–SA and to publicly document 

the privacy protections that are in place 

for the system. 

System: DHS/NPPD/PIA–022 Linking 

Encrypted Network system (LENS). 

Component: NPPD. 

Date of approval: February 9, 2012. 

DHS, NPPD, Critical Infrastructure 

Technology and Architecture (CITA) 

Project maintains the Linking Encrypted 

Network System (LENS), a data 

repository and application set that acts 

as a network of online portals or 

modules, allowing authorized users to 

obtain, post and exchange information 

and access common resources. NPPD 

conducted this PIA to examine the 

privacy impact associated with the 

collection of PII related to individuals 

who are LENS users or seeking access to 

LENS, as well as PII related to POCs that 

may be maintained within the LENS 

data repository. NPPD will conduct 

separate PIAs, as necessary, for those 

modules or applications residing on the 

LENS platform where the scope of the 

collection is beyond that of this PIA.
