**Privacy Act of 1974; Department of Homeland Security U.S. Citizenship** **and Immigration Services—011 E Verify 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 ‘‘Departmentof Homeland Security/ALL—037 EAuthentication System of Records’’


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

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 tooperate 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 theirSocial 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 SocialSecurity 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 theirpersonally 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 herSocial 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 informationcollection 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.

**PURPOSE (** **S ):** 

This system provides employment authorization information to employers


### 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

• Cases referred by and between EVerify and the Department of Justice Office of Special Counsel for Immigration-Related Unfair Employment Practices, or other law enforcement entities.

Additionally, the information in E-Verify may be used for program management and analysis, program outreach, customer service, and preventing or deterring further use of stolen identities in E-Verify.

G. To an appropriate federal, state, tribal, local, international, or foreign law enforcement agency or other appropriate authority charged with investigating or prosecuting a violation or enforcing or implementing a law, rule, regulation, or order, when a record, either on its face or in conjunction with other information, indicates a violation or potential violation of the E-Verify program, which includes potential fraud, discrimination, or employment based identity theft and such disclosure is proper and consistent with the official duties of the person making the disclosure.

H. To employers participating in the E-Verify program in order to verify the employment eligibility of their employees working in the United States.

You must sign your request, and your signature must either be notarized or submitted under 28 U.S.C. § 1746, a law that permits statements to be made under penalty of perjury as a substitute for notarization. While no specific form is required, you may obtain forms for this purpose from the Chief Privacy Officer and Chief Freedom of Information Act Officer, http://www.dhs.gov or 1–866–431–0486. In addition you should:

• Explain why you believe the Department would have information on
you;

• Identify which component(s) of the Department you believe may have the information about you;

• Specify when you believe the records would have been created; and

• Provide any other information that will help the FOIA staff determine which DHS component agency may have responsive records.

If your request is seeking records pertaining to another living individual, 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.
