this system of records is appropriate 

because the Prototype Phase is 

complete, and records from this system 

have been destroyed in accordance with 

the TSA Threat Assessment and 

Credentialing records retention 

schedule, with the following exceptions: 

(1) A small number of records for 

individuals who were an actual match 

to a government watchlist (which will 

be retained for 99 years); and (2) records 

for individuals who were a close match 

but subsequently cleared as not posing 

a potential or actual threat to 

transportation (which will be retained 

for 7 years). Records from the TWIC 

Prototype Phase not yet authorized for 

destruction will be retained under the 

authority of the DHS/TSA–002 

Transportation Security Threat 

Assessment System (T–STAS) System of 

Records (May 19, 2010, 75 FR 28046), 

which covers the Security Threat 

Assessment (STA) process associated 

with the TWIC and other TSA vetting 

programs. 

Eliminating the system of records 

notice DHS/TSA–012 TWIC will have 

no adverse impact on individuals, but 

will promote the overall streamlining 

and management of DHS Privacy Act 

record systems. Records for individuals 

who participated in the Prototype Phase 

have been destroyed, except as 

identified above. Individuals whose 

records continue to be retained pending 

disposition under the records retention 

schedule may seek access or correction 

to their records under DHS/TSA–002 T– 

STAS.
