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. 

SYSTEM MANAGER AND ADDRESS: 

Chief Information Officer, United 

States Citizenship and Immigration 

Services, 111 Massachusetts Avenue, 

NW., Washington, DC 20529. 

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE: 

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 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 to you under 

28 U.S.C. 1746, a law that permits 

statements to be made under penalty or 

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) will 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:
