DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND 

SECURITY 

Office of the Secretary 

[Docket No. DHS–2014–0040] 

Privacy Act of 1974; Department of 

Homeland Security U.S. Citizenship 

and Immigration Services—011 EVerify Program System of Records 

AGENCY: Privacy Office, Department of 

Homeland Security. 

ACTION: Notice of Privacy Act System of 

Records. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of 

Homeland Security proposes to update 

and reissue a current Department of 

Homeland Security system of records 

titled, ‘‘Department of Homeland 

Security/U.S. Citizenship and 

Immigration Services—011 E-Verify 

Program System of Records.’’ The U.S. 

Citizenship and Immigration Services EVerify program allows employers to 

electronically verify the employment 

authorization of newly hired employees. 

To provide individuals the ability to 

learn about their work authorization 

status information, the U.S. Citizenship 

and Immigration Services also operates 

a free service called Self-Check. The 

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration 

Services is launching enhanced features 

to the Self Check service that permits 

individuals who successfully complete 

a Self Check identification process the 

opportunity to establish a myE-Verify 

account. The information collected to 

register and maintain a myE-Verify 

account is covered by the ‘‘Department 

of Homeland Security/ALL—037 EAuthentication System of Records’’ 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 154 / Monday, August 11, 2014 / Notices 46853 

published elsewhere in the Federal 

Register. U.S. Citizenship and 

Immigration Services is updating this 

System of Records Notice to include the 

operational data previously covered by 

‘‘Department of Homeland Security U.S. 

Citizenship and Immigration Services— 

013 Self Check System of Records,’’ 

which is being consolidated into DHS/ 

ALL—037 E-Authentication System of 

Records and this System of Records 

Notice. The Self Check query, query 

results, and Self Lock transaction 

history will now be maintained by this 

updated System of Records Notice. The 

initial launch of myE-Verify will allow 

access to a feature called ‘‘Self Lock,’’ 

which enables an account holder to 

prevent the use of his or her Social 

Security number in E-Verify and Self 

Check. Additional myE-Verify account 

features such as Case History, Case 

Tracker, and Document Expiration 

Reminders will be made available in 

future releases. The Department of 

Homeland Security is updating this 

Privacy Act System of Records Notice 

for the E-Verify Program in order to 

provide notice that E-Verify is updating 

the ‘‘Category of Individuals,’’ ‘‘Category 

of Records,’’ ‘‘Purpose(s),’’ and ‘‘Record 

Source Categories’’ to account for 

additional information necessary to 

operate myE-Verify account features. EVerify is updating the ‘‘Category of 

Individuals’’ to include individuals that 

successfully use the E-Verify Self Check 

service to check employment eligibility, 

which was previously covered by the EVerify Self Check System of Records, 

and individuals who have locked their 

Social Security number in E-Verify. EVerify is also updating the ‘‘Category of 

Records’’ to include Self Check query 

information, which was previously 

covered by the E-Verify Self Check 

System of Records Notice, and Social 

Security number lock information. EVerify is updating the ‘‘Purpose(s)’’ to 

include providing employment 

authorization information to individuals 

seeking to check employment eligibility 

under the Immigration and 

Naturalization Act. This system will 

also enable individuals to access 

features concerning the use of their 

personally identifiable information in EVerify and Self Check, such as the 

ability to lock their Social Security 

number to prevent its use in E-Verify 

and Self Check. 

This updated system will be included 

in the Department of Homeland 

Security’s inventory of record systems. 

DATES: Submit comments on or before 

September 10, 2014. This updated 

system will be effective September 10, 

2014. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by docket number DHS– 

2014–0040 by one of the following 

methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 

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

Homeland Security (DHS) U.S. 

Citizenship and Immigration Services 

(USCIS) proposes to update and reissue 

a current DHS system of records titled, 

‘‘DHS/USCIS–011 E-Verify Program 

System of Records.’’ The USCIS E-Verify 

Program allows employers to confirm 

employment eligibility of newly hired 

employees. 

To provide individuals the ability to 

learn about their work authorization 

status information, USCIS operates a 

free service called Self-Check. USCIS is 

launching enhanced features to the Self 

Check service that permit individuals 

who successfully complete a Self Check 

case to establish a myE-Verify account. 

The information collected to register 

and maintain a myE-Verify account, 

including information collected for Eauthentication purposes, is covered by 

the ‘‘DHS/ALL–037 E-Authentication 

System of Records’’ published 

elsewhere in the Federal Register. DHS/ 

ALL–037 E-Authentication System of 

Records and this System of Records 

Notice consolidate the previously issued 

‘‘Department of Homeland Security U.S. 

Citizenship and Immigration Services013 Self Check System of Records.’’ As 

a result of this consolidation, by this 

notice, DHS intends to remove DHS/

USCIS–013 from its inventory of 

systems of records. 

The initial launch of myE-Verify will 

allow access to a feature called ‘‘Self 

Lock,’’ which will enable an account 

holder to prevent the use of his or her 

Social Security number (SSN) in EVerify and Self Check. Additional myEVerify account features such as Case 

History, Case Tracker, and Document 

Expiration Reminders will be made 

available in future releases. DHS is 

updating this Privacy Act System of 

Records Notice for the E-Verify Program 

to provide notice that E-Verify is 

updating the ‘‘Category of Individuals,’’ 

‘‘Category of Records,’’ ‘‘Purpose(s),’’ 

and ‘‘Record Source Categories’’ to 

account for the additional information 

collection necessary to operate myEVerify account features. E-Verify is 

updating the ‘‘Category of Individuals’’ 

to include (1) individuals that 

successfully use the E-Verify Self Check 

service to check employment eligibility, 

which was previously covered by the EVerify Self Check System of Records, 

and (2) individuals who have locked 

their SSN in E-Verify. E-Verify is also 

updating the ‘‘Category of Records’’ to 

include (1) Self Check query 

information, which was previously 

covered by the E-Verify Self Check 

System of Records Notice, and (2) SSN 

lock information. E-Verify is updating 

‘‘Purpose(s)’’ to include providing 

employment authorization information 

to individuals seeking to check 

employment eligibility under the 

Immigration and Naturalization Act. 

This system will also enable individuals 

to access features concerning the use of 

their personally identifiable information 

in E-Verify and Self Check such as the 

ability to lock their SSN to prevent its 

use in E-Verify and Self Check. 

This updated 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. 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

46854 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 154 / Monday, August 11, 2014 / Notices 

citizens and lawful permanent 

residents. As a matter of policy, DHS 

extends administrative Privacy Act 

protections to all individuals when 

systems of records maintain information 

on U.S. citizens, lawful permanent 

residents, and visitors. 

Below is the description of the DHS/ 

USCIS–011 E-Verify Program System of 

Records. 

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r),

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

Authority for having a system for 

verification of employment eligibility is 

found in the Illegal Immigration Reform 

and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 

1996 (IIRIRA), Public Law 104–208, 

§§ 401–405 (Sept. 30, 1996), codified at 

8 U.S.C. 1324a note. 

PURPOSE(S): 

This system provides employment 

authorization information to employers 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

46856 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 154 / Monday, August 11, 2014 / Notices 

participating in E-Verify and to 

individuals seeking to check 

employment eligibility under the INA. 

This system will also enable individuals 

to access features concerning the use of 

their personally identifiable information 

in E-Verify and Self Check such as the 

ability to lock their SSN to prevent its 

use in E-Verify and Self Check. It may 

also be used to support monitoring and 

compliance activities for obtaining 

information in order to prevent the 

commission of fraud, discrimination, or 

other misuse or abuse of the E-Verify 

system, including violation of privacy 

laws or other illegal activity related to 

misuse of E-Verify, including: 

• Investigating duplicate or 

incomplete enrollments by employers; 

• Inappropriate enrollments by 

individuals posing as employers; 

• Verifications that are not performed 

within the required time limits; and

portion of the records or information 

contained in this system may be 

disclosed outside DHS, except as

of the suspected or confirmed 

compromise there is a risk of harm to 

economic or property interests, identity 

theft or fraud, or harm to the security or 

integrity of this system or other systems 

or programs (whether maintained by 

DHS or another agency or entity) or 

harm to the individual that rely upon 

the compromised information; and 

3. The disclosure made to such

reasonably necessary to assist in 

connection with DHS’s efforts to 

respond to the suspected or confirmed 

compromise and prevent, minimize, or 

remedy such harm. 

F. To contractors and their agents, 

grantees, experts, consultants, and 

others performing or working on a 

contract, service, grant, cooperative 

agreement, or other assignment for DHS, 

when necessary to accomplish an

records. Individuals provided 

information under this routine use are 

subject to the same Privacy Act 

requirements and limitations on 

disclosure as are applicable to DHS 

officers and employees. 

G. To an appropriate federal, state, 

tribal, local, international, or foreign law 

enforcement agency or other appropriate 

authority charged with investigating or

or in conjunction with other 

information, indicates a violation or 

potential violation of the E-Verify

fraud, discrimination, or employment 

based identity theft and such disclosure 

is proper and consistent with the official 

duties of the person making the 

disclosure.

within the DOJ’s jurisdiction of the 

E-Verify program, especially with 

respect to discrimination. 

K. To the news media and the public, 

with the approval of the Chief Privacy 

Officer in consultation with counsel, 

when there exists a legitimate public 

interest in the disclosure of the 

information or when disclosure is 

necessary to preserve confidence in the 

integrity of DHS, or is necessary to 

demonstrate the accountability of DHS’s 

officers, employees, or individuals 

covered by the system, except to the 

extent the Chief Privacy Officer 

determines that release of the specific 

information in the context of a 

particular case would constitute an
