**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. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) proposes to update and reissue a current DHS system of records titled, ‘‘DHS/ICE—010 Confidential and Other Sources of Information (COSI) System of Records,’’ 73 FR 237 (Dec. 9, 2008). This System of Records Notice (SORN) will update the categories of individuals, add new categories of records in the system, add and update routine uses, and update the retention period of records related to confidential and other sources. As a law enforcement investigatory agency, ICE collects and maintains information regarding possible violations of law from a number of sources, including Confidential Informants; federal, state, local, tribal, territorial, and foreign law enforcement agencies; and members of the public. This system of records allows ICE to collect and maintain records concerning the identities of and information received from documented Confidential Informants and other sources who supply information to ICE regarding possible violations of law or otherwise in support of law enforcement investigations and activities.

Categories of individuals have been updated in the DHS/ICE—010 COSI SORN to more accurately describe the individuals about whom ICE collects information. Previously categorized as ‘‘Non-Confidential Informants,’’


### 7799 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 23 / Monday, February 4, 2013 / Notices

individuals who are not documented as Confidential Informants, but report information to ICE, are now considered ‘‘Sources of Information,’’ while government personnel acting in their personal or professional capacities and law enforcement officers acting in their professional capacity are now separate categories of individuals.

Additionally, new categories of records have been added to more accurately reflect the types of information collected and maintained on Confidential Informants, Sources of Information, and government personnel and law enforcement officers. For Confidential Informants, fingerprints, handwriting samples, Alien Registration Numbers, copies of passports(s), immigration records, bank account information, date, informant was deactivated, special skills, and internal ICE memoranda and other reports have been added. For Sources of Information, criminal history information, date and place of birth, immigration history, documentation of information received and monetary payment, and internal ICE memoranda and other reports have been added. For government personnel and law enforcement officers, individual’s name, addresses, agency, nationality, and occupational information have been added.

Routine uses B and C are no longer being used in the DHS/ICE—010 COSI SORN. As a result, the lettering of the routine uses has been amended, and all routine uses following B and C have been shifted up two letters. Furthermore, new routine uses have been added to allow ICE to share information regarding confidential and other sources of information. Below is a summary of the new routine uses and their corresponding letters:

F. To federal, state, local, tribal, territorial, foreign, or international agencies for the purpose of obtaining information relevant and necessary to ICE’s decision whether an individual may act as a Confidential Informant;

G. To courts, magistrates, administrative tribunals, parties, and witnesses, in the course of immigration, civil, or criminal proceedings and when DHS determines that use of such records is relevant and necessary to the litigation before a court or adjudicative body;

H. To prospective claimants and their attorneys for the purpose of negotiating the settlement of an actual of prospective claim against DHS or its current or former employees, in advance of the initiation of formal litigation or proceedings;

I. To a former employee of DHS for purposes of responding to an official inquiry or facilitating communications with a former employee that may be relevant for personnel-related or other official purposes;

J. To international, foreign, intergovernmental, and multinational government agencies, authorities, and organizations to facilitate the testimony of a Confidential Informant in a criminal, civil, or administrative case;

K. To federal, state, local, tribal, territorial, or foreign government agencies, as well as to other individuals and organizations during the course of an investigation by DHS or during a proceeding within the purview of the immigration and nationality laws;

L. To federal, state, local, tribal, territorial, foreign, or international criminal, civil, or regulatory law enforcement authorities when the information is necessary forcollaboration, coordination, and deconfliction of investigative matters, prosecutions, and/or other law enforcement actions;

N. To the Department of State when it requires information to consider and/ or provide an informed response to a request for information from a foreign, international, or intergovernmental agency, authority, or organization about an alien or an enforcement operation with transnational implications.

Finally, the retention period for records pertaining to Confidential Informants has been updated. Previously, the SORN stated that all records pertaining to confidential and other sources of information were maintained until the end of the fiscal year in which the related investigative file was closed, and records were transferred to the Federal Records Center five (5) years after the end of that fiscal year. ICE is proposing that electronic and paper records pertaining to Confidential Informants are maintained in active form at ICE Headquarters for five (5) years past the date of a Confidential Informant’s deactivation in order to assist with any ongoing ICE investigations. The records will then be archived and retained at ICE Headquarters for an additional fifty (50) years, following which the records will be destroyed.

Portions of the DHS/ICE–010 COSI System of Records are exempt from one or more provisions of the Privacy Act because of criminal, civil, and administrative enforcement requirements. Individuals may request information about records pertaining to them stored in the DHS/ICE–010 COSI System of Records as outlined in the ‘‘Notification Procedure’’ section below. ICE reserves the right to exempt various records from release. Pursuant to exemption 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) of the Privacy Act, portions of this system are exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3), (c)(4), (d), (e)(1), (e)(2), (e)(3), (e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(H), (e)(5), (e)(8), (f), and (g). Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2), this system is exempt from the following provisions of the Privacy Act, subject to the limitations set forth in those subsections: 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3), (d), (e)(1), (e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(H), and (f). In addition, to the extent a record contains information from other exempt systems of records, ICE will rely on the exemptions claimed for those systems. The exemptions for the existing system of records notice will continue to be applicable for this system of records notice as published in the Federal Register on August 31, 2009 (74 FR 45083). In the context of this updated SORN, DHS is requesting comment on the application of these exemptions to the newly added categories of records. This system will continue to be included in the DHS’s inventory of record systems.

Consistent with DHS’ informationsharing mission, information stored in the DHS/ICE–010 COSI 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 federal, state, local, tribal, territorial, foreign, or international government agencies consistent with the routine uses set forth in this system of records notice.
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 for which information is retrieved by the name of an individual or by some identifying number, symbol, or other particular identifier 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.

**NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE :** 

The Secretary of Homeland Security has exempted this system from the notification, access, and amendment procedures of the Privacy Act because it is a law enforcement system. However, DHS/ICE will consider individual requests to determine whether or not information may be released. Thus, individuals seeking notification of and access to any record contained in this system of records, or seeking to contest its content, may submit a request in writing to ICE’s FOIA Officer, whose contact information can be found at http://www.dhs.gov/foia under ‘‘contacts.’’ If an individual believes more than one component maintains Privacy Act records concerning him or her, the individual may submit the request to the Chief Privacy Officer and Chief Freedom of Information Act Officer, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, 245 Murray Drive SW., Building 410, STOP–0550, Washington, DC 20528.

When seeking records about yourself from this system of records or any other Departmental system of records your request must conform with the Privacy Act regulations set forth in 6 CFR Part 5. You must first verify your identity, meaning that you must provide your full name, current address and date and place of birth. 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/foia 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) will 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.

**RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES :** 

See ‘‘Notification procedure’’ above.

**CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES :** 

See ‘‘Notification procedure’’ above.

**RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES :** 

Records are obtained from other federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies, Confidential Informants, and any other sources of information including members of the public.

**EXEMPTIONS CLAIMED FOR THE SYSTEM :** 

Pursuant to exemption 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) of the Privacy Act, portions of this system are exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3) and (4); (d); (e)(1), (e)(2), (e)(3), (e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(H), (e)(5) and (e)(8); (f), and (g).
