Homeport PIA, dated May 9, 2006, in 

order to describe the new functionality 

that allows merchant mariners to 

determine the status of their credential 

application using the Homeport Internet 

Portal. Homeport uses the identification 

information provided by the mariner to 

match records from the Merchant 

Mariner Licensing and Documentation 

system and provide mariners the current 

status of their credential application. 

Information provided by the mariner 

will be used solely for matching records 

and will not be retained in Homeport at 

the completion of the online session. 

System: Data Analysis and Research 

for Trade Transparency System. 

Component: Immigration and 

Customs Enforcement. 

Date of approval: October 20, 2008. 

Immigration and Customs 

Enforcement (ICE) operates the Data 

Analysis and Research for Trade 

Transparency System (DARTTS), which 

supports ICE investigations of tradebased money laundering, contraband 

smuggling, and trade fraud. DARTTS 

analyzes trade and financial data to 

identify statistically anomalous 

transactions that may warrant 

investigation for money laundering or 

other import-export crimes. These 

anomalies are then independently 

confirmed and further investigated by 

experienced ICE investigators. ICE 

conducted this PIA because DARTTS 

collects and uses PII associated with 

money laundering, contraband 

smuggling, and trade fraud. 

System: Secure Flight Program. 

Component: Transportation Security 

Administration. 

Date of approval: October 21, 2008. 

The Secure Flight program matches 

identifying information of aviation 

passengers and certain non-travelers 

against the consolidated and integrated 

terrorist watch list maintained by the 

Federal Government in a consistent and 

accurate manner, while minimizing 

false matches and protecting PII. TSA 

published a Final Rule outlining TSA’s 

implementation of the Secure Flight 

program. In conjunction with this Final 

Rule, TSA published this updated PIA. 

This updated PIA reflects the Secure 

Flight program as described in the Final 

Rule.

Division, implemented the first phase of 

initial operating capability (IOC) of 

system interoperability 

(Interoperability) between US–VISIT’s 

Automated Biometric Identification 

System (IDENT) and CJIS’ Integrated 

Automated Fingerprint Identification 

System (IAFIS). This capability, which 

expands upon and improves the method 

of exchange and sharing of certain 

biometric and biographic data between 

IDENT and IAFIS, is intended to 

increase data sharing between DHS and 

Federal, State, and local agencies for 

law enforcement activity relating to the 

DHS mission. This PIA describes these 

uses and sharing of data under the first 

phase of the Interoperability IOC, as 

well as the associated privacy risks and 

measures taken by US–VISIT to mitigate 

those risks. 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 37 / Thursday, February 26, 2009 / Notices 8805 

System: Reality Mobile Kentucky: 

Operational Field Test. 

Component: Science and Technology. 

Date of approval: October 24, 2008. 

The Reality Mobile Kentucky project 

is a research and development effort by 

DHS S&T that seeks to test the 

operational effectiveness and efficiency 

of streaming video for law enforcement 

applications. Reality Mobile software is 

a commercially available softwaredriven system that would allow first 

responders and law enforcement 

officials to send and receive live video 

and geospatial coordinates. S&T 

conducted this PIA because the 

Kentucky State Police will capture 

images of individuals during the field 

test in accordance with their law 

enforcement authorities, standard 

operating procedures, and applicable 

state and local laws. This PIA covers 

only the research activities conducted 

by S&T during this operational field 

test. Should S&T acquire the technology 

and transition it to a DHS Component, 

that DHS Component will be 

responsible for completing the 

subsequent privacy assessments of the 

Reality Mobile technology and its use. 

System: Chemical Security 

Assessment Tool Update. 

Component: National Protection and 

Programs. 

Date of approval: October 27, 2008. 

This is an update to the previous 

Chemical Security Assessment Tool 

(CSAT) PIA. CSAT collects PII from 

CSAT users and Chemical-Terrorism 

Vulnerability Information Web site 

users. This update improves a CSAT 

user’s ability to know who else in their 

company also has access to CSAT. 

Further, the CSAT Helpdesk collects 

contact information both from CSAT 

users requesting basic CSAT IT support 

and from the general public inquiring 

about the CSAT program. Provision of 

basic CSAT user information to the 

Helpdesk will allow quicker services 

and support. 

System: Homeland Security Virtual 

Assistance Center. 

Component: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency. 

Date of approval: November 3, 2008. 

The DHS Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA) National

advanced Web-based, technical 

assistance management solution that 

supports FEMA in the scheduling, 

coordination, and management of 

training provided to First Responders, 

including state and local government 

entities and organizations. FEMA 

conducted this PIA because HSVAC will 

use and maintain PII to authenticate 

user identities of those individuals 

requesting access to the application.

System. 

System: Air Cargo Security 

Requirements. 

Component: Transportation Security 

Administration. 

Date of approval: November 12, 2008. 

TSA made several changes to its air 

cargo program that involve the 

collection of PII and the addition of new 

populations for which information will 

be collected. First, for TSA conducted 

security threat assessments (STAs) on 

individuals participating in its air cargo 

programs, TSA requires the submittal of 

contact and employer information for all 

participants so TSA can contact the 

individual in the adjudication process. 

Second, TSA allows non-citizens who 

do not have an Alien Registration 

Number to provide a Form I–94 Arrival/ 

Departure number. Third, TSA created a 

new Certified Cargo Screening Program 

(CCSP), expanding the population of 

individuals who will need to provide 

PII for TSA-conducted STAs. A new 

automated collection STA Tool 

deployed to support the collection of PII 

from the CCSP population. Fourth, TSA 

updated the records retention schedule 

and redress processes applicable to all 

populations submitting PII for STAs 

under its air cargo programs. In 

accordance with Section 222 of the 

Homeland Security Act of 2002, TSA 

issued this update (PIA Update) to the 

Air Cargo Security Requirements PIA 

published on April 14, 2006, to 

incorporate these changes. The April 14, 

2006 PIA remains in effect to the extent 

that it is consistent with this update. 

This update should be read together 

with the 2006 PIA. 

System: Advance Passenger 

Information System Final Rule. 

Component: Customs and Border 

Protection. 

Date of approval: November 18, 2008. 

CBP issued a Final Rule to amend 

regulations governing the submission of 

Advanced Passenger Information 

System (APIS) data to include private 

aircraft. CBP published a revised PIA 

and a revised associated System of 

Records Notice to include these final 

changes with its existing APIS privacy 

notices. The previous System of Records 

Notice for the APIS system was last 

published at 72 FR 48349, August 23, 

2007. On September 18, 2007, CBP 

published a Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking in the Federal Register (72 

FR 53393) proposing amendments to 

CBP regulations concerning the advance 

electronic transmission of passenger and 

crew manifests for private aircraft 

arriving in and departing from the 

United States, commonly referred to as 

APIS. A PIA update was published on 

the DHS Web site at the same time 

discussing the impact of the notice of 

proposed rule. 

System: Law Enforcement Intelligence 

Fusion Systems. 

Component: Immigration and 

Customs Enforcement. 

Date of approval: November 17, 2008. 

The ICE Law Enforcement Intelligence 

Fusion System (IFS) enables ICE and 

other DHS law enforcement and 

homeland security personnel to analyze 

volumes of information from multiple 

data sources through a single Web-based 

access point. All IFS activity is 

predicated on ongoing and valid 

homeland security operations, law 

enforcement activities, and intelligence 

production requirements. IFS was 

formerly known as the ICE Network Law 

Enforcement Analysis Data System. ICE 

has completed this PIA to provide 

additional notice of the existence of IFS 

and publicly document the privacy 

protections that are in place for IFS. 

System: Vessel Requirements for 

Notices of Arrival and Departure and 

Automatic Identification System Notice 

of Proposed Rulemaking. 

Component: U.S. Coast Guard. 

Date of approval: November 19, 2008. 

The USCG published a proposed rule 

entitled ‘‘Vessel Requirements for 

Notices of Arrival and Departure and 

Automatic Identification System.’’ The 

rule proposes to expand the 

applicability of notice of arrival (NOA) 

requirements to additional vessels, 

8806 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 37 / Thursday, February 26, 2009 / Notices 

establish a separate requirement for 

certain vessels to submit notices of 

departure (NOD), set forth a mandatory 

method for electronic submission of 

NOA and NOD, and modify related 

reporting content, timeframes, and 

procedures. This proposed rule would 

also expand the applicability of 

Automatic Identification System (AIS) 

requirements beyond Vessel Traffic 

Service areas to all U.S. navigable 

waters and require AIS carriage for 

additional commercial vessels. USCG 

conducted this PIA because portions of 

the rule require an expansion of an 

existing collection of PII and because 

the system, Ship Arrival Notification 

System, which maintains the NOA and 

NOD information, will maintain the 

collection of PII. 

System: Verification Information 

System Update. 

Component: U.S. Citizenship and 

Immigration Services. 

Date of approval: November 20, 2008. 

The Verification Division of USCIS 

operates the Verification Information 

System (VIS). VIS is a composite 

information system that provides 

immigration status verification for 

government agencies and verification of 

employment authorization for 

employers participating in the E-Verify 

program. USCIS conducted this PIA to: 

(1) Cover the expansion of VIS to collect 

and verify information from United 

States Passports and Passport Cards 

from E-Verify users, (2) describe the 

expansion of the scope of SAVE to 

include verification of citizenship and 

immigration status for any DHS lawful 

purpose, not just for government benefit 

granting purposes as described in 

previous PIAs, and (3) describe the 

expansion of the scope of E-Verify to 

indicate that it is no longer solely 

voluntary in some cases and no longer 

solely for new employees in certain 

cases. 

System: Suspicious Activity Reports 

Project. 

Component: Operations. 

Date of approval: November 21, 2008. 

The Office of Operations Coordination 

and Planning (OPS), in cooperation with 

the S&T published this PIA to reflect a 

planned research project regarding 

Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs). The 

Operations Coordination and Planning 

Directorate will host a stand-alone 

system designed to analyze Suspicious 

Activity Report data taken from several 

DHS components. OPS conducted this 

PIA because SARs occasionally contain 

PII and because it is physically hosting 

the project in addition to contributing 

SARS data. 

System: National Flood Insurance 

Program (NFIP) Modernization/Business 

Process Improvement/Systems 

Engineering Management Support. 

Component: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency.

This is an update to the previous 

Automated Targeting System PIA, dated 

August 3, 2007, in order to expand the 

scope of the data accessed for screening 

and targeting purposes to include 

additional importer and carrier 

requirements. In conjunction with this 

update, CBP published an Interim Final 

Rule that amends the CBP regulations 

contained in 19 CFR parts 4, 12, 18, 101, 

103, 113, 122, 123, 141, 143, 149, 178, 

and 192 addressing the advanced 

electronic submission of information by 

importers and vessel carriers. 

System: Automated Commercial 

System/Automated Commercial 

Environment-Importer Security Filing 

Data. 

Component: Customs and Border 

Protection. 

Date of approval: December 2, 2008. 

CBP expanded and revised the 

collection of data from carriers and 

importers to the Automated Commercial 

System (ACS) in an effort to prevent 

terrorist weapons from being 

transported to the United States. Using 

ACS, CBP collects cargo, carrier, 

importer, and other data to achieve 

improved high-risk cargo targeting as 

required by Section 203 of the Security 

and Accountability for Every Port Act of 

2006 (Pub. L. 109–347, 120 Stat. 1884 

(SAFE Port Act)). This PIA was 

conducted to explore the use of PII 

contained in the Importer Security 

Filing submitted by the importer to CBP. 

System: Customer Relationship 

Interface System. 

Component: U.S. Citizenship and 

Immigration Services. 

Date of approval: December 4, 2008. 

USCIS developed the Customer 

Relationship Interface System (CRIS) to 

provide USCIS customers with the 

status of pending applications and 

petitions for benefits and processing 

time information. This PIA is required 

because the CRIS database contains PII 

such as Alien Registration Number (ANumber), full name, date of birth, and 

address. 

System: State, Local, and Regional 

Fusion Center Initiative. 

Component: Department of Homeland 

Security. 

Date of approval: December 11, 2008. 

Pursuant to Section 511 of the 

Implementing Recommendations of the 

9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (the ‘‘9/ 

11 Commission Act’’ or ‘‘the Act’’), 

Public Law No. 110–53, the DHS 

Privacy Office conducted a PIA on the 

Homeland Security State, Local, and 

Regional Fusion Center Initiative (the 

Initiative). Under the Initiative, DHS 

will facilitate appropriate, bi-directional 

information sharing between the 

Department and State, Local, and 

Regional Fusion Centers. In addition, 

the Department will assign trained 

intelligence analysts to fusion centers, 

provided those centers meet a number 

of criteria set forth in the text. The Act 

requires the Department to complete a 

concept of operations (CONOPS) for the 

Initiative, including a PIA. The 

CONOPS also includes a Civil Liberties 

Impact Assessment, conducted by the 

DHS Office for Civil Rights and Civil 

Liberties. 

System: Future Attribute Screening 

Technology Project. 

Component: Science and Technology. 

Date of approval: December 15, 2008. 

DHS identified a need for new 

technical capabilities that can rapidly 

identify suspicious behavior indicators 

to provide real-time decision support to 

security and law enforcement 

personnel. The Future Attribute 

Screening Technology Mobile Module 

(FAST) project, sponsored by S&T 

Homeland Security Advanced Research 

Projects Agency and executed under the 

oversight of DHS S&T’s Human Factors 

Behavior Sciences Division, seeks to 

develop people screening technologies 

that will enable security officials to test 

the effectiveness of current screening 

methods at evaluating suspicious 

behaviors and judging the implications 

of those behaviors. The ultimate goal of 

the FAST project is to equip security 

officials with the tools to assess 

potential threats rapidly. This first 

phase of the FAST project is limited to 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 37 / Thursday, February 26, 2009 / Notices 8807 

identifying various screening sensors 

and conducting testing of various 

sensors with volunteer participants. 

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
