**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 amend a current DHS system of records titled ‘‘DHS/ICE–005 Trade Transparency Analysis and Research (TTAR) System of Records.’’ This system of records is being modified to include new categories of individuals, categories of records, and purposes. The system is also being updated to update, consolidate, and clarify the existing routine uses, to reflect a proposed change to the retention period of the data, and to update and simplify the description of
the record sources.

With the previously-published DARTTS PIA update, ICE is also notifying the public of three other changes to the TTAR SORN’s associated IT system, DARTTS. First, ICE is expanding the use of DARTTS within DHS to permit select U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) customs officers and import specialists to access and use the system to conduct trade transparency analysis. These CBP employees use DARTTS in support of
the CBP mission to enforce U.S. trade
laws and ensure the collection of all


### 53894 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 171 / Tuesday, September 4, 2012 / Notices

lawfully owed revenue from trade

activities.

Second, ICE is establishing a separate instance of DARTTS for use by foreign government partners that operate trade transparency units and have customs information sharing agreements with the United States. This new ‘‘Foreign DARTTS’’ system is maintained in a secure, web-based environment hosted by ICE. Foreign DARTTS permits authorized foreign partners to use the DARTTS tools to analyze a more limited set of DARTTS data in support of their own trade-based investigations. Third,
DARTTS will be modified in the near future to permit authorized ICE and CBP personnel to access DARTTS via mobile devices. The DARTTS PIA update is
available at www.dhs.gov/privacy

.

The TTAR system of records and its associated IT system, DARTTS, are owned by ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and maintained for the purpose of enforcing criminal and civil laws pertaining to trade through trade transparency. Trade transparency is the concept of examining U.S. and foreign trade data to identify anomalies in patterns of trade. Such anomalies can indicate trade-based money laundering or other import-export crimes that HSI is responsible for investigating, such as contraband smuggling, trafficking of counterfeit goods, misclassification of goods, and the over- or under-valuation of goods to hide the proceeds of illegal

activities.

As part of the trade transparency investigative process, DHS law enforcement personnel must understand the relationships between importers and exporters and the financing for a set of
trade transactions to determine which transactions are suspicious and warrant investigation. The TTAR system of records supports the operation of DARTTS, which is a software application and data repository that conducts analysis of trade and financial data to identify statistically anomalous transactions that may warrant investigation for money laundering or other import-export crimes. DARTTS is specifically designed to make this investigative process more efficient by automating the analysis and
identification of anomalies for the investigator. While DARTTS does increase the efficiency of data analysis,
it does not allow DHS law enforcement personnel to obtain any data they could
not otherwise access in the course of
their law enforcement activities.

Consistent with DHS’s information sharing mission, information stored in the DHS/ICE–005 TTAR System of Records may be shared with other DHS components. In accordance with the routine uses set forth in this system of records notice, this information may also be disclosed externally to federal, state, local, tribal, territorial, foreign, or international government agencies. This sharing will only take place after DHS determines that the receiving component or agency has a need to know the information to carry out national security, law enforcement, immigration, intelligence, or other
functions consistent with the
aforementioned routine uses.

II. Changes to the System of Records

In this amendment, DHS is expanding the categories of individuals covered by this system of records to include two new categories: Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) as defined by 31 CFR 500.306, and individuals identified in TECS subject records created by ICE and
CBP. The SDN List is an economic and trade sanctions program based on U.S. foreign policy and national security goals against targeted foreign countries and regimes, terrorists, international narcotics traffickers, and other threats to the national security, foreign policy or economy of the United States. Including
the SDN List in DARTTS allows HSI users to quickly identify international
trade and/or financial transactions that are associated with a specially designated individual or entity, which allows HSI to take appropriate investigative actions in a timely and
more efficient manner.

TECS subject records includes violators or suspected violators of laws enforced or administered by ICE and CBP; witnesses associated with ICE and CBP enforcement actions; persons who own or operate businesses, property, vehicles or other property that is in a TECS subject record; and individuals applying for a license issued by DHS or for which DHS conducts a background investigation in support of the licensing agency. Including ICE and CBP subject
records in DARTTS allows users to quickly determine when an entity being researched in DARTTS is already part of a pending HSI investigation or was involved in an investigation that is now
closed.

In this amendment, DHS is also including three new categories of records that are covered by this system of records: (1) TECS subject records
related to an ICE or CBP law enforcement matter; (2) Customs or Homeland Security licensing information, related to applications by
individuals or businesses to hold a specific license issued by DHS or for which DHS conducts a background investigation in support of the licensing agency; and (3) Information obtained from the SDN List maintained by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. DHS is also restructuring the categories of records into related groups instead of simply listing the data elements.

In this amendment, DHS is modifying and clarifying the system location to make clear that this system of records
describes data maintained in DARTTS. DHS is also modifying the authority
citations to include additional authorities that support the ICE and CBP mission for which trade transparency analysis is performed. DHS has also
added citations to authorities that protect some of the information in DARTTS, such as the Trade Secrets Act and the Bank Secrecy Act.

In this amendment, DHS is also broadening the purpose section to include the civil enforcement aspects of CBP’s mission that the system will now support. DHS is also adding two additional purposes associated with the launch of Foreign DARTTS to describe the reasons the system will be used by foreign government partners. Finally, DHS has added a new purpose that describes the law enforcement, homeland security, and public safety purposes that all ICE law enforcement systems are generally maintained to support.

In this amendment, DHS is proposing
to reword several routine uses to improve their clarity and to reduce redundancy. DHS is also deleting one
routine use as it was found to be redundant to other existing routine uses. Finally, DHS is proposing to add the following four routine uses: (1) To permit sharing with courts, magistrates, counsel, parties and witnesses when relevant and necessary to litigation to which DHS is a party or in which it has an interest (Routine Use N); (2) to permit sharing with prospective parties
and their counsel in advance of the initiation of formal litigation proceedings for settlement negotiation purposes (Routine Use O); (3) to permit sharing with other domestic or foreign agencies or entities for information or assistance in processing a claim for
redress in connection with the operations of a DHS component or program (Routine Use P); and (4) to permit sharing with former employees of DHS when DHS requires information
or consultation assistance from them regarding a matter within that person’s former area of responsibility (Routine Use Q). The new proposed routine uses are intended to permit information sharing in the event that information covered by this system of records
becomes relevant to an actual or potential claim in litigation or other proceedings, to a pending request from


### 53895 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 171 / Tuesday, September 4, 2012 / Notices

an individual for redress from DHS, or
in the event that a matter arises in
which DHS must share information with a former employee to obtain information
or consultation assistance from that
individual.

In this amendment, DHS is also notifying the public of its intention to modify the retention period of information maintained in this system of records. Currently, DARTTS data is maintained in production for five years, archived for an additional five years, and then deleted. DHS proposes to maintain the data in production for ten years and then delete the data. The retention period is also proposed to change from five to ten years for the original CD–ROMs, external storage devices, or electronic data transfers containing raw data that is input into

DARTTS.

Finally, in this amendment, DHS is simplifying and updating the description of the record sources for this system of records. The U.S. Department of the Treasury is being added because
it is the source for the SDN List.

The exemptions for the existing system of records notice will continue to be applicable for this system of records notice. This updated system will be included in the Department of Homeland Security’s inventory of record systems.

III. Privacy Act

The Privacy Act embodies fair information practice principles in a statutory framework governing the means by which the U.S. Government collects, maintains, uses, and
disseminates 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 identifying particular assigned to the individual. In the Privacy Act, an individual is defined to encompass U.S. 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.

Below is the description of the
amended DHS/ICE–005 Trade Transparency Analysis and Research 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 Congress. **System of Records**

**NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE :** 

The Secretary of Homeland Security has exempted this system from notification, access, and amendment
because of the law enforcement nature of the information. These exemptions also apply to the extent that information in this system of records is recompiled
or is created from information contained in other systems of records. To the extent that a record is exempted in a source system, the exemption will continue to apply. However, ICE will review requests on a case by case to
determine if release of the information is appropriate. After conferring with the appropriate component or agency, as applicable, DHS may waive applicable exemptions in appropriate
circumstances and where it would not appear to interfere with or adversely affect the law enforcement purposes of the systems from which the information is recompiled or in which it is contained. Additionally, ICE and DHS are not exempting any records that were ingested or indexed by TTAR where the source system of records already provides access and/or amendment under the Privacy Act. 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 ICE Freedom of Information Act
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, Department of Homeland Security, 245 Murray Drive SW., Building 410, STOP–0655, Washington, DC 20528.

This Notice relies on the authority of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter 35, as amended. An ICR is an application to OIRA seeking the approval, extension, or renewal of a
Coast Guard collection of information (Collection). The ICR contains information describing the Collection’s purpose, the Collection’s likely burden on the affected public, an explanation of the necessity of the Collection, and other important information describing
the Collections. There is one ICR for
each Collection.

The Coast Guard invites comments on whether these ICRs should be granted based on the Collections being necessary for the proper performance of Departmental functions. In particular, the Coast Guard would appreciate comments addressing: (1) The practical utility of the Collections; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden of the Collections; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of information subject to the Collections; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the Collections on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. These comments will help OIRA determine whether to approve the ICRs referred to
