SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 

1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to 

update and reissue a current 

Department-wide system of records 

titled DHS/ALL–004 General 

Information Technology Access 

Account Records System of Records (73 

FR 28139, May 15, 2008). The collection 

and maintenance of this information

wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with 
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 27, 2012 / Notices 70793 

Department’s information technology 

access account records. 

This system consists of information 

collected in order to provide authorized 

individuals with access to DHS 

information technology resources. This 

information includes user name, 

business affiliation, account 

information, and passwords. Passwords 

are encrypted and used as part of the log 

in process for verification of appropriate 

access. 

In accordance with the Privacy Act of

proposes to update and reissue a DHS 

system of records notice titled, DHS/ 

ALL–004 General Information 

Technology Access Account Records 

System of Records. As a result of the

and all logs of activity on the DHS

been updated with minor clarifications. 

This updated system will be included in 

DHS’s inventory of record systems. 

II. Privacy Act 

The Privacy Act embodies fair 

information principles in a statutory 

framework governing the means by 

which the 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 

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 which 

their records are put, and to assist 

individuals to more easily find such 

files within the agency. Below is the 

description of DHS/ALL–004 General 

Information Technology Access 

Account Records 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.

and meeting attendance and where 

appropriate, allow for sharing of 

information between individuals in the 

same operational program to facilitate 

collaboration.

Chief Freedom of Information Act 

Officer, Privacy Office, Department of 

Homeland Security, 245 Murray Drive

you must include a statement from that 

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 your 

request may be denied due to lack of 

specificity or lack of compliance with 

applicable regulations.
