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 

modify a current DHS system of records 

titled ‘‘DHS/ALL—001 Freedom of 

Information Act and Privacy Act 

Records System of Records,’’ 74 FR 

55572 (October 28, 2009). 

As part of its biennial review process, 

DHS is updating and reissuing this 

system of records notice to reflect a 

change in the location of records to 

include the use of electronic FOIA 

tracking systems by DHS and its 

components, and because routine uses 

are being updated to permit additional 

sharing. Categories of records have been 

updated to include responses to 

requests. Routine use (L) has been 

added to permit sharing with National 

Archives and Records Administration 

(NARA), Office of Government 

Information Services (OGIS) so those 

agencies can review administrative 

policies, procedures, and compliance, 

and to facilitate resolutions to disputes 

between persons making Freedom of 

Information Act (FOIA) requests and 

DHS. Routine use (M) has been added 

to allow information to be shared with 

a court, magistrate, or administrative 

tribunal in the course of presenting 

evidence, litigation, or settlement 

negotiations, or in response to a 

subpoena, or in connection with 

criminal law proceedings. Routine use 

(N) has been added to allow information 

to be shared with a court, grand jury, or 

administrative or adjudicative body, 

when DHS determines that the records 

are relevant, to the proceeding. Routine 

use (O) has been added to allow 

information to be shared with 

appropriate federal, state, tribal, local, 

or foreign governmental agencies or 

multilateral government organizations 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

6610 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 23 / Tuesday, February 4, 2014 / Notices 

responsible for investigations or 

prosecutions when DHS believes the 

information would assist enforcement of 

applicable civil or criminal laws. 

Routine use (P) has been added to allow 

information to be shared with the news 

media and the public, with approval of 

the Chief Privacy Officer in consultation 

with counsel. 

In addition, six routine uses have 

been modified. Routine use (A) has been 

modified to include former employees 

of DHS and to eliminate redundant 

language. Routine use (C) has been 

updated to specify that information may 

be shared specifically with the General 

Services Administration (GSA) for 

records management purposes. 

Modifications have been made to 

routine uses (D), (E), (G), and (H) to 

provide greater clarity and make nonsubstantive grammatical changes. 

Consistent with DHS’s information 

sharing mission, information stored in 

the DHS/ALL—001 Freedom of 

Information Act and Privacy Act 

Records System of Records may be 

shared with other DHS components that 

have a need to know the information to 

carry out their national security, law 

enforcement, immigration, intelligence, 

or other homeland security functions. In 

addition, information may be shared 

with appropriate other federal, state, 

local, tribal, territorial, foreign, or 

international government agencies 

consistent with the routine uses set 

forth in this systems of records notice. 

Certain information about FOIA 

requestors, including the name of the 

requestor and a description of the 

requested records is not exempt under 

the FOIA and is released to outside 

entities who request such information. 

The previously issued Final Rule 

exempting this system of records from 

certain provisions of the Privacy Act 

remains in effect [75 FR 50846 (August 

18, 2010)]. 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 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 when systems of records 

maintain information on U.S. citizens, 

lawful permanent residents, and 

visitors. 

Below is the description of the DHS/ 

ALL—001 Freedom of Information Act 

and Privacy Act 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
