the information for the performance of 

their official duties and who have 

appropriate clearances or permissions.

Archives and Records Administration

SYSTEM MANAGER AND ADDRESS: 

For Headquarters components of DHS, 

the System Manager is the Director of 

Departmental Disclosure, Department of 

Homeland Security, Washington, DC

http://www.dhs.gov/foia under 

‘‘contacts.’’ 

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 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 the Headquarters or component’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, 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 Director, Disclosure and FOIA, 

http://www.dhs.gov or 1–866–431–0486. 

In addition you should provide the 

following: 

• An explanation of 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, 

• 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 this bulleted information the 

component(s) may 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:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background and Purpose 

Section 70110 of the Maritime 

Transportation Security Act of 2002 

(Pub. L. 107–295, Nov. 25, 2002) (46 

U.S.C. 70110) provides that the 

Secretary of Homeland Security may 

impose conditions of entry on vessels 

requesting entry into the United States 

arriving from ports that are not 

maintaining effective anti-terrorism 

measures. The Coast Guard has been 

delegated the authority by the Secretary 

to carry out the provisions of this 

section. Previous notices have imposed 

or removed conditions of entry on 

vessels arriving from certain countries 

and those conditions of entry and the 

countries they pertain to remain in 

effect unless modified by this notice. 

The Coast Guard has determined that 

ports in Venezuela are not maintaining 

effective anti-terrorism measures. 

Accordingly, effective January 23, 2009 

the Coast Guard will impose the 

following conditions of entry on vessels

landside and waterside) of the vessel 

while the vessel is in ports in the above

maximum hours of work are not 

exceeded and/or minimum hours of rest 

are met, or provided by outside security
