System: Scheduling and Notification 

of Applicants for Processing. 

Component: U.S. Citizenship and 

Immigration Services. 

Date of approval: December 15, 2008. 

USCIS developed the Scheduling and 

Notification of Applicants for 

Processing (SNAP) system. SNAP 

automatically schedules appointments 

for immigration benefits for applicants/ 

petitioners to submit biometric 

information to USCIS. USCIS conducted 

this PIA because SNAP uses PII to 

perform its scheduling functions. 

System: Customer Proprietary 

Network Information. 

Component: United States Secret 

Service. 

Date of approval: December 17, 2008. 

The U.S. Secret Service (USSS) and 

the FBI co-sponsor and manage the 

Customer Proprietary Network 

Information (CPNI) Reporting Web site. 

The Web site is a tool for 

telecommunications carriers to report a 

breach of its customer proprietary 

network information to law 

enforcement. The USSS and the FBI 

conducted this PIA because the CPNI 

Reporting Web site contains PII. 

System: Changes to Requirements 

Affecting H–2A Nonimmigrants and 

Changes to Requirements Affecting H– 

2B Nonimmigrants and Employers Final 

Rules. 

Component: U.S. Citizenship and 

Immigration Services. 

Date of approval: December 18, 2008. 

USCIS published this PIA in 

conjunction with two Final Rules titled 

Changes to Requirements Affecting H– 

2A Nonimmigrants and Changes to 

Requirements Affecting H–2B 

Nonimmigrants and Employers. The 

Final Rules announce employers’ 

requirements to notify USCIS when an 

H–2A or H–2B worker absconds, fails to 

report for work, or is terminated early 

and/or when any prohibited fees are 

collected from aliens as a condition of 

H–2A or H–2B employment. USCIS 

conducted this PIA because the 

nonimmigrant visa programs associated 

with these Final Rules involve the 

collection of PII. 

System: Stand-Off Detection. 

Component: Transportation Security 

Administration. 

Date of approval: December 23, 2008. 

TSA deploys advanced explosives 

detection technology using passive 

millimeter wave screening technologies 

as part of the agency’s efforts to ensure 

the safety of travelers. The objective is 

to identify individuals who may seek to 

detonate explosives in transportation 

facilities. This PIA was conducted to 

provide transparency into TSA 

operations affecting the public. 

System: Disaster Assistance 

Improvement Plan. 

Component: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency. 

Date of approval: December 31, 2008. 

DHS FEMA developed the Disaster 

Assistance Improvement Program 

(Disaster Assistance Center) in 

accordance with the August 29, 2006, 

Executive Order 13411, ‘‘Improving 

Assistance for Disaster Victims.’’ The 

Disaster Assistance Center is an 

enhancement and upgrade of the current 

system known as the National 

Emergency Management Information 

System, which contains, stores, and 

manages information contained in the 

Disaster Recovery Assistance Files 

System of Records (DHS/FEMA—REG 

2), as announced in the Disaster 

Recovery Assistance Files System of 

Record Notice (71 FR 38408, July 6, 

2006) (DRA SORN). The data elements 

include those that are contained and 

captured on the FEMA form 90–69. The 

objective of this PIA is to identify and 

address the safeguarding of PII that may 

result from FEMA’s proposed 

implementation of Executive Order 

13411 and its modification of the 

Individual Assistance Center 

application. 

System: Department of Homeland 

Security General Contact List. 

Component: DHS Wide. 

Date of approval: December 19, 2008. 

Many DHS operations and projects 

collect a minimal amount of contact 

information in order to distribute 

information and perform various other 

administrative tasks. Department 

Headquarters conducted this PIA 

because contact lists contain PII. The 

Department added the following 

systems to this PIA: 

• U.S. Coast Guard Citizen’s Action 

Network. 

• Transportation Security 

Administration Rail Security. 

• Transportation Security 

Administration Enterprise Performance 

Management Platform. 

• National Protection and Programs 

Directorate Vehicle-Bourne Explosive 

Device Training. 

• U.S. Coast Guard 2009 World 

Maritime Day Parallel Event.

Background and Purpose 

The public is invited to learn about 

how wastes from ships are handled at 

our ports and terminals and to comment 

on how to improve the Coast Guard’s 

efforts to implement MARPOL 

requirements to provide adequate 

reception facilities. The public, 

commercial interests, local, State, and 

Federal Agencies, Non-Governmental 

Organizations (NGOs), public interest 

groups, trade organizations, and all 

other interested parties are invited to 

attend the meeting. The proposed 

agenda for the meeting will include— 

• Introduction and welcome by U.S. 

Coast Guard; 

• A presentation on U.S. Port 

Reception Facilities and the regulatory 

framework for the Coast Guard’s 

Certificate of Adequacy (COA) Program 

for implementing MARPOL regulations 

for reception facilities; 

• Questions and answer period on the 

COA presentation. 

• Presentation of public comments 

received by the Coast Guard for the 

record. Note: Interested Parties, having 

previously submitted written comments 

for the record, may wish to give an oral 

presentation summarizing their 

comments; and 

• Oral comments from the public. 

The Coast Guard is seeking comments 

from the general public on MARPOL 

reception facilities in the U.S. The Coast 

Guard is specifically interested in 

identifying all issues that impact 

implementation of MARPOL 

requirements for port reception facilities 

in the U.S. and in obtaining 

recommendations to address those 

issues. Issues include— 

• Conflicts with other regulations; 

• Disposal cost issues at ports/ 

terminals; 

• Requirement for lab analysis of 

wastes; 

• Segregation of Annex V wastes; 

• Impacts of MARPOL waste 

collection requirements on local/ 

regional waste disposal capacity and 

infrastructure; 

• Emerging opportunities for business 

development for reception facilities at 

ports/terminals; and 

• Additional burden, if any, of 

adopting standardized Advance Notice 

Forms (ANF) and/or Waste Delivery 

Receipt (WDR) forms adopted by the 

International Maritime Organization. 

Oral comments made at the meeting 

will be summarized. The summarized 

oral comments, along with any prepared 

comments delivered at the meeting, will 

be added to the docket number for this 

notice (USCG–2009–0099). Summarized 

comments made at the meeting, written 

comments received prior to the meeting,

meeting, and other relevant documents 

presented, will be provided to the CTAC 

subcommittee on MARPOL at the CTAC 

meeting to be held later this year (see 

Federal Register notice, 73 FR 79496, 

Dec. 29, 2008, seeking public comments 

for optimizing MARPOL port reception 

facilities). Notice of the CTAC public 

meeting will be given at a later date.
