SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Office of Fraud Detection and 

National Security (FDNS) of the United 

States Citizenship and Immigration 

Services (USCIS) has developed a new 

system named the Fraud Detection and 

National Security Data System (FDNS–

DS). FDNS–DS is a central repository 

that permits specially-trained 

employees to record, track, and manage 

the background checks and adjudicative 

processes related to immigration 

applications and petitions with 

suspected or confirmed fraud, criminal 

activity, egregious public safety, and/or 

national security concerns, and cases 

randomly selected for benefit fraud 

assessments (BFAs). The system will 

also have the capability to track the 

following: 

1. USCIS investigative referrals to law 

enforcement agencies (LEAs); 

2. LEA referrals to USCIS concerning 

subjects with pending immigration 

benefit applications or petitions; 

3. background check referrals and 

resolutions associated with suspected or 

confirmed fraud, criminal activity, 

egregious public safety, and/or national 

security concerns; and 

4. any additional inquiries conducted 

in order to confirm that the information 

on file is correct. 

FDNS has created FDNS–DS, a 

centralized data system, in order to 

increase the effectiveness of United 

States (U.S.) immigration system in 

identifying threats to national security, 

combating benefit fraud, and locating 

and removing vulnerabilities that 

compromise the integrity of the legal 

immigration system. With the 

implementation of FDNS–DS, USCIS’s 

capabilities for detecting and tracking 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
48232 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 160 / Monday, August 18, 2008 / Notices 

benefit fraud and other criminal 

activity—and conducting efficient and 

accurate background check resolutions 

and adjudication of national security 

cases will be increased. 

In order to achieve the goals 

discussed above, FDNS–DS will store 

data related to immigration applications 

involving suspected or confirmed fraud, 

criminal activity, egregious public 

safety, and/or national security 

concerns. The data will include the 

results of required background checks 

conducted in connection with pending 

petitions/applications that results in 

subsequent inquiries conducted to 

resolve the background check results. 

FDNS–DS will also contain the 

following information related to cases 

involving suspected or confirmed fraud, 

criminal activity, egregious public 

safety, and/or national security 

concerns: USCIS investigative referrals 

to law enforcement agencies (LEAs) of 

suspected or confirmed fraud or other 

criminal activity; LEA referrals to USCIS 

related to pending applications; referrals 

to USCIS from the public or other 

governmental entities or fraud case 

referrals from the Benefit Fraud 

Assessment (BFA) process (‘‘other 

referrals’’); adverse information 

identified by USCIS from applications, 

administrative files, interviews, written 

requests for evidence (RFEs) or site 

visits; results of resolution of any of the 

above-described categories of adverse 

information; and adjudicative 

summaries and decisions. 

As noted above, FDNS–DS will store 

information concerning cases randomly 

selected for BFAs and will track 

interactions with Immigration and 

Citizenship Enforcement (ICE) and other 

LEAs (e.g., the Federal Bureau of 

Investigation [FBI], the Drug 

Enforcement Administration [DEA], and 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

[CBP]) in cases involving fraud or other 

criminal activity, and the Department of 

State in cases involving fraud related to 

selected types of visas for entry into the 

United States. 

USCIS may elect to withhold any 

related law enforcement sensitive 

information relating to a requestor, 

which could possibly compromise 

ongoing criminal investigations if 

released to the requestor, pursuant to 

the Privacy Act. 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2). 

Types of information sharing that may 

result from the routine uses outlined in 

this notice include: (1) Disclosure to 

individuals who are working as a 

contractor or with a similar relationship 

working on behalf of DHS; (2) sharing 

with Congressional offices asking on 

behalf of an individual; (3) sharing 

when there appears to be a specific 

violation or potential violation of law, 

or identified threat or potential threat to 

national or international security, such 

as criminal or terrorist activities, based 

on individual records in this system; (4) 

sharing with the National Archives and 

Records Administration (NARA) for 

proper handling of government records; 

(5) sharing when relevant to litigation 

associated with the Federal government; 

and (6) sharing to protect the individual 

who is the subject of the record from the 

harm of identity theft in the case of a 

data breach affecting this system. 

Consistent with DHS’s information 

sharing mission, information stored in 

the FDNS–Ds may be shared with other 

DHS components, as well as appropriate 

Federal, State, local, tribal, 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 routine 

uses set forth in this system of records 

notice. 

II. Privacy Act 

The Privacy Act embodies fair 

information principles in a statutory 

framework governing the means by 

which the United States Government 

collects, maintains, uses, and 

disseminates personally identifiable 

information. 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 United States citizens and 

legal 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. Individuals may request access 

to their own records that are maintained 

in a system of records in the possession 

or under the control of DHS by 

complying with DHS Privacy Act 

regulations, 6 CFR Part 5. 

The Privacy Act requires each agency 

to publish in the Federal Register a 

description denoting the type and 

character of each system of records that 

the agency maintains, and the routine 

uses that are contained in each system 

in order to make agency record keeping 

practices transparent, to notify 

individuals regarding the uses to which 

personally identifiable information is 

put, and to assist individuals to more 

easily find such files within the agency. 

Below is the description of the Fraud 

Detection and National Security Data 

System system of records. 

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), 

DHS has provided a report of this new

immigration system. 

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: 

In addition to those disclosures 

generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 

552a(b) of the Privacy Act, all or a 

portion of the records or information 

contained in this system may be 

disclosed outside DHS as a routine use 

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) as 

follows: 

A. To the Department of Justice 

(including U.S. Attorneys’ offices) or 

other Federal agency conducting 

litigation or in proceedings before any 

court, adjudicative or administrative 

body, when it is necessary to the 

litigation and one of the following is a 

party to the litigation or has an interest 

in such litigation: 

1. DHS or any component thereof; 

2. Any employee of DHS in his/her 

official capacity; 

3. Any employee of DHS in his/her 

individual capacity where DOJ or DHS 

has agreed to represent the employee; or 

4. The United States or any agency 

thereof, is a party to the litigation or has 

an interest in such litigation, and DHS 

determines that the records are both 

relevant and necessary to the litigation 

and the use of such records is 

compatible with the purpose for which 

DHS collected the records. 

B. To a congressional office from the 

record of an individual in response to 

an inquiry from that congressional office 

made at the request of the individual to 

whom the record pertains. 

C. To the National Archives and 

Records Administration or other Federal 

government agencies pursuant to 

records management inspections being 

conducted under the authority of 44 

U.S.C. §§ 2904 and 2906. 

D. To an agency, organization, or 

individual for the purpose of performing 

audit or oversight operations as 

authorized by law, but only such 

information as is necessary and relevant 

to such audit or oversight function. 

E. To appropriate agencies, entities, 

and persons when: 

1. USCIS suspects or has confirmed 

that the security or confidentiality of 

information in the system of records has 

been compromised; 

2. USCIS has determined that as a 

result of the suspected or confirmed 

compromise there is a risk of harm to 

economic or property interests, identity 

theft or fraud, or harm to the security or 

integrity of this system or other systems 

or programs (whether maintained by 

DHS or another agency or entity), or 

harm to the individual that relies upon 

the compromised information; and 

3. The disclosure made to such 

agencies, entities, and persons is 

reasonably necessary to assist in 

connection with USCIS’s efforts to 

respond to the suspected or confirmed 

compromise and prevent, minimize, or 

remedy such harm. 

F. To contractors and their agents, 

grantees, experts, consultants, and 

others performing or working on a 

contract, service, grant, cooperative 

agreement, or other assignment for DHS, 

when necessary to accomplish an 

agency function related to this system of 

records. Individuals provided 

information under this routine use are 

subject to the same Privacy Act 

requirements and limitations on 

disclosure as are applicable to DHS 

officers and employees. 

G. To an appropriate Federal, State, 

tribal, local, international, or foreign law 

enforcement agency or other appropriate 

authority charged with investigating or 

prosecuting a violation or enforcing or 

implementing a law, rule, regulation, or 

order, where a record, either on its face 

or in conjunction with other 

information, indicates a violation or 

potential violation of law, which 

includes criminal, civil, or regulatory 

violations and such disclosure is proper 

and consistent with the official duties of 

the person making the disclosure. 

H. To Federal and foreign government 

intelligence or counterterrorism 

agencies when USCIS reasonably 

believes there to be a threat or potential 

threat to national or international 

security for which the information may 

be useful in countering the threat or 

potential threat, when DHS reasonably 

believes such use is to assist in antiterrorism efforts, and disclosure is 

appropriate to the proper performance 

of the official duties of the person 

making the disclosure; 

I. To the Department of State in the 

processing of petitions or applications 

for benefits under the Immigration and 

Nationality Act, and all other 

immigration and nationality laws 

including treaties and reciprocal 

agreements. 

J. To the news media and the public, 

with the approval of the Chief Privacy 

Officer in consultation with counsel, 

when there exists a legitimate public 

interest in the disclosure of the 

information or when disclosure is 

necessary to preserve confidence in the 

integrity of DHS or is necessary to 

demonstrate the accountability of DHS’s 

officers, employees, or individuals 

covered by the system, except to the 

extent it is determined that release of 

the specific information in the context 

of a particular case would constitute an 

unwarranted invasion of personal 

privacy. 

DISCLOSURE TO CONSUMER REPORTING

AGENCIES: 

None. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, 

RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND

DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

STORAGE:

facilities in a locked drawer behind a 

locked door. The records are stored on 

magnetic disks that are backed up to 

disk and tape media. 

RETRIEVABILITY: 

Records may be retrieved by utilizing 

multiple data points that include an 

individual’s last name, A-Number, 

Receipt Number, Date of Birth or other 

unique identifier. 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
48234 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 160 / Monday, August 18, 2008 / Notices 

SAFEGUARDS: 

Records in this system are 

safeguarded in accordance with 

applicable rules and policies, including 

all applicable DHS automated systems 

security and access policies. Strict 

controls have been imposed to minimize 

the risk of compromising the 

information that is being stored. Access 

to the computer system containing the 

records in this system is limited to those 

individuals who have a need to know 

the information for the performance of 

their official duties and who have 

appropriate clearances or permissions. 

The system maintains a real-time 

auditing function of individuals who 

access the system. Additional 

safeguards may vary by component and 

program. 

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: 

The National Archives Records 

Administration has not approved a 

retention schedule for this system of 

records. USCIS has proposed a retention 

period of 15 years from the date of the 

last interaction between FDNS 

personnel and the individual after 

which time the record will be deleted 

from FDNS–DS. The 15-year retention 

schedule is proposed to provide FDNS 

with access to information that is 

critical to the investigation of suspected 

or confirmed fraud, criminal activity, 

egregious public safety, and/or national 

security concerns. Upon closure of a 

case, any information that is needed to 

make an adjudicative decision (such as 

a statement of findings report), whether 

there was or was not an indication of 

fraud, criminal activity, egregious 

public safety, and/or national security 

concerns, will be transferred to the AFile and maintained under the A-File 

retention period, which is currently 75 

years.
