such as pasture estimates into native 

pasture and improved pasture due to 

large price differences and input costs 

associated with each type of pasture. 

A data request highlighted this limit: 

A data user (landlord) was trying to renegotiate the rental rate with their lessee 

on a large amount of Bermuda grass 

pastureland. They were given the 

pasture rate from the USDA–NASS 2017 

Cash Rents Survey for the county ($10/ 

ac), district ($12/ac), and the State ($13/ 

ac). The data user was able to find the 

OSU–DAE pasture rates for 2016/2017 

for Bermuda (Improved Pasture) in his 

Region ($24.55) and at the State level 

($22.79). The data user would have lost 

$12 to $14/per acre if used only the 

USDA–NASS Cash Rents Survey data 

alone.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 

1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), notice is given that 

the Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department 

of Agriculture (USDA) is proposing to 

add a new system of records, entitled 

USDA/APHIS–21, Smuggling 

Interdiction and Trade Compliance 

(SITC) National Information 

Communication Activity System 

(SNICAS), to maintain a record of 

activities conducted by the agency 

pursuant to its mission and 

responsibilities authorized by the Plant 

Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.); 

the Animal Health Protection Act (7 

U.S.C. 8301 et seq.); and the Honey Bee 

Act (7 U.S.C. 281 et seq.). The purpose 

of the system is to record data and 

information about APHIS’ SITC 

activities nationwide. SITC is within 

APHIS’ Plant Protection and Quarantine 

program. 

SNICAS supports the mission of SITC 

programs by providing, to SITC and 

other agency personnel, information 

that can be used to assist with detecting 

and preventing the unlawful entry and 

distribution into the United States of 

prohibited and/or non-compliant 

products that may harbor exotic plant 

and animal pests, diseases, or invasive 

species. SITC focuses on anti-smuggling 

and trade compliance efforts at ports of 

entry in the United States and in 

commerce to prevent the establishment 

of plant and animal pests and diseases, 

while maintaining the safety of U.S. 

ecosystems and natural resources. SITC 

is responsible for collecting, 

maintaining, and reviewing information 

to successfully and efficiently meet its 

mission. 

SNICAS consists of a web-based 

system and paper records and contains 

information related to commodities that 

have been physically inspected and/or 

surveyed by SITC. The system contains 

records pertaining to U.S. ports of entry 

and commerce locations that are 

inspected or surveyed during daily 

operations. SNICAS also maintains and 

communicates information associated 

with SITC operational and 

administrative activities. 

SITC officials use the information in 

SNICAS to identify and close pathways 

used for the introduction of prohibited 

commodities and those regulated 

commodities that lack the necessary 

certificates and permits to enter into 

U.S. commerce. SITC officials also use 

SNICAS to perform activities such as 

legal and regulatory actions; scientific 

research; risk, trend, pathway and 

targeting analyses; trade support; 

administrative and budgetary support; 

supervision and program management; 

and overall decision support services. 

Additionally, SITC officials use SNICAS 

to generate reports to evaluate the risk 

status of the commercial sites where 

regulated commodities are seized, the 

effectiveness of the program, and quality 

control of the data. 

APHIS will share information from 

the system pursuant to the requirements 

of the Privacy Act and, in the case of its 

routine uses, when the disclosure is 

compatible with the purpose for which 

the information was compiled. 

However, APHIS proposes to exempt 

some records in the system from certain 

Privacy Act requirements in accordance 

with 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2). APHIS 

proposes to exempt the system from 

Privacy Act requirements including 

subsections (c)(3); (d); (e)(1); (e)(4)(G),

(H), and (I); and (f). A proposed rule has 

been promulgated in accordance with 

the requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553(b), (c), 

and (d) and has been published in 

today’s Federal Register 1. An 

individual who is the subject of a record 

in this system may seek access to those 

records that are not exempt from the 

access provisions. A determination 

whether a record may be accessed will 

be made at the time a request is 

received. 

A report on the new system of 

records, required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), as 

implemented by Office of Management 

and Budget Circular A–108, was sent to 

the Chairman, Committee on Homeland 

Security and Governmental Affairs, 

United States Senate; the Chairwoman, 

Committee on Oversight and Reform, 

House of Representatives; and the 

Administrator, Office of Information 

and Regulatory Affairs, Office of 

Management and Budget.

USDA, 4700 River Road, Riverdale, MD 

20737. 

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

The Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 

7701 et seq.); the Animal Health 

Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.); 

and the Honey Bee Act (7 U.S.C. 281 et 

seq.). 

PURPOSES OF THE SYSTEM: 

SITC focuses on anti-smuggling and 

trade compliance efforts at ports of entry 

in the United States and in commerce to 

prevent the establishment of plant and 

animal pests and diseases, while 

maintaining the safety of U.S. 

ecosystems and natural resources. SITC 

is responsible for collecting, 

maintaining, and reviewing information 

to successfully and efficiently meet its 

mission. 

The purpose of SNICAS is to record 

data and information about SITC 

activities nationwide. SNICAS supports 

the mission of SITC programs by 

providing, to SITC and other agency 

personnel, information that can be used 

to assist with detecting and preventing 

the unlawful entry and distribution into 

the United States of prohibited and/or 

non-compliant products that may harbor 

exotic plant and animal pests, diseases, 

or invasive species. 

SNICAS contains records pertaining 

to the U.S. ports of entry and commerce 

locations that are inspected or surveyed 

during daily operations. SNICAS also 

maintains and communicates 

information associated with SITC 

operational and administrative 

activities. The personally identifiable 

information within SNICAS is used by 

SITC officials to identify and close 

pathways used for the introduction of 

prohibited commodities and those 

regulated commodities that lack the 

necessary certificates and permits to 

enter into U.S. commerce. 

SITC officials also use SNICAS to 

perform activities such as legal and 

regulatory actions; scientific research; 

risk, trend, pathway and targeting 

analyses; trade support; administrative 

and budgetary support; supervision and 

program management; and overall 

decision support services. Additionally, 

SITC officials use SNICAS to generate 

reports to evaluate the risk status of the 

commercial sites where regulated 

commodities are seized, the 

effectiveness of the program, and quality 

control of the data. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM: 

SNICAS contains personal and 

business identifiable information about 

individuals and companies who are 

associated with the importation, 

interstate, and/or intrastate movement 

of prohibited or restricted agricultural 

products along with any actions taken 

against said individual or company. The 

system also includes SITC employee 

information. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

The categories of records maintained 

in the system consist of company/ 

business or individual’s name; contact 

information that includes address, 

telephone and fax numbers, and email 

address; personal identification number, 

which may include Social Security 

number or tax identification number; 

date of birth; gender; business 

affiliation; criminal history; inspection 

or survey date; conveyance type and 

identification (license plate, vehicle 

identification number); geospatial data 

of trade activity; identification of 

product(s) to include product name, 

photographs of seized product(s), 

country of origin, identification number, 

and bar codes; U.S. port of entry, 

crossing, or import location; witness 

statements; and any other supporting 

documentation. As required, SITC may 

also collect other information associated 

with products, seizures, trace requests, 

product pathways, recall activities, and 

intelligence or analysis background 

reviews. 

SITC employee information included 

in the system consists of name, title, 

work and email addresses, telephone 

number, badge number, SITC work unit, 

and area of coverage. 

As required, other information 

associated with products, seizures, trace 

requests, product pathways, recall 

activities, and intelligence or analysis

SNICAS collects much of its 

information directly from individuals, 

Federal, State, Tribal, or local 

government and agencies, commercial 

entities, and companies/individuals that 

import, handle, distribute, or consume 

products that may be associated with 

the importation and/or interstate 

movement of prohibited or restricted 

agricultural products. 

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: 

In addition to those disclosures 

generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 

552a(b) of the Privacy Act, records

necessary to assist the recipient agency 

or entity in (a) responding to a 

suspected or confirmed breach or (b) 

preventing, minimizing, or remedying 

the risk of harm to individuals, the 

recipient agency or entity (including its 

information systems, programs, and 

operations), the Federal Government, or 

national security, resulting from a 

suspected or confirmed breach; 

(9) To USDA contractors and other

DISCLOSURE TO CONSUMER REPORTING

AGENCIES: 

None. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF

RECORDS: 

Electronic and paper records are 

stored at locations listed under ‘‘System 

Location’’ above. All documentation 

that exists in paper form is maintained 

by PPQ SITC officials nationwide, while 

electronic data are stored on hard disks 

within their work units or on the Azure 

cloud hosted by APHIS. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF

RECORDS: 

SNICAS users can query and retrieve 

records on the following fields: Permit 

or emergency action notification form 

serial number, name of individual or 

business, address, and telephone 

number. Users can also search for 

records using a global search engine, 

quick list drop-down menu, or using the 

reports section of the system. 

Records cannot be retrieved by Social 

Security number, birthdate, vehicle 

identification number, and tax 

identification numbers. However, this 

information may be contained in 

attached documents. These attached 

documents can only be accessed 

through associated parent records, and 

these documents can only be viewed by 

authorized SITC officials. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND

DISPOSAL OF RECORDS: 

APHIS is in the process of requesting 

records disposition authority from 

NARA, and these records will be 

retained until appropriate disposition 

authority is obtained from NARA. 

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL

SAFEGUARDS: 

SNICAS is a web-based system that 

can be accessed by individuals 

authorized by PPQ on a need-to-know 

basis. Authorized users can gain access 

to SNICAS records via a secure 

government network, which is only 

accessible after a user is added to the 

system by a system administrator and 

when the user logs onto the passwordprotected network. If the end user is 

away from their designated workstation, 

they can connect through the internet 

via a secure virtual private network 

connection. Security measures are in 

place to prevent outsiders from entering 

the system. Integrated Network 

Authentication is required for access to 

the system. The access control list for 

the database validates against the 

network identification of the user 

creating a 2-layer authentication 

scheme. PPQ SITC personnel have 

access to all of the data in the system 

but are limited to certain actions based 

on their assigned role. Non-SITC 

personnel within the agency may be 

provided ‘‘read-only’’ access allowing

users to view all data within SNICAS 

but restricts editing or downloading 

data. These accounts use integrated 

network authentication to validate the 

end user and restrict access. 

Electronic records are stored on 

secure file servers. SNICAS users gain 

access to the system through the system 

administrator with designated userdefined roles and level of access. 

SNICAS users obtain user -identification 

accounts that allow password-protected 

access through the intranet. Access is 

only available to computers logged onto 

the APHIS network. Domain network 

logon credentials are used to validate a 

user’s access against a list of allowed 

SNICAS logons kept within the 

database, creating a 2-tier validation 

strategy. The web-based service 

identifies and validates USDA 

customers before they can access 

SNICAS. 

Paper files are maintained in a 

safeguarded environment with 

controlled access only by authorized 

personnel. SITC officers, analysts, and 

supervisors are in positions of public 

trust that require background 

investigations and security clearances. 

Employees are also required to complete 

appropriate training to learn 

requirements for safeguarding records 

maintained under the Privacy Act. 

SNICAS safeguards records and 

ensures that privacy requirements are 

met in accordance with Federal cyber 

security mandates. SNICAS provides 

continuous storage management, 

security administration, regular dataset 

backups, and contingency planning/ 

disaster recovery.
