FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Hugo Teufel III, Chief Privacy

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy 
Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, and as part of its ongoing integration and 
management efforts, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is 
consolidating the system of records notice, Treasury/CS.238 Training 
and Career Individual Development Plans (66 FR 52984 October 18, 2001), 
that has been issued by Customs Service, Department of Treasury prior 
to the creation of the Department of Homeland Security.
    DHS will continue to collect and maintain records regarding 
individuals who attend DHS-sponsored training programs and will rely 
upon the existing DHS-wide system of records notice titled DHS/ALL-003 
Department of Homeland Security General Training Records (71 FR 26767 
May 8, 2006).
    For similar reasons, DHS is reclassifying six additional legacy 
systems of records notices. The second system, Treasury/CS.239 Training 
Records (66 FR 52984 October 18, 2001), is also maintained by Customs 
Service, Department of Treasury and records Customs employees who have 
completed training.
    The third system, FEMA/NETC-1 Student Application and Registration 
Records (55 FR 37182 September 7, 1990), is maintained by the Federal 
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This system records individuals who 
apply for and complete resident and field emergency management training 
conducted under the auspices of the National Emergency Training Center. 
This system also records individuals who apply for and complete courses 
at the National Fire Academy and Emergency Management Institute.
    The fourth system, FEMA/NETC-2 Emergency Management Training 
Program Home Study Courses (55 FR 37182 September 7, 1990), is 
maintained by FEMA and records individuals who are enrolled in and/or 
have completed home study courses

offered by the Emergency Management Training Program.
    The fifth system, FEMA/NETC-4 Associate Faculty Tracking System (55 
FR 37182 September 7, 1990), is maintained by FEMA and records 
individuals who provide instruction in the delivery of Office of 
Training resident and field courses.
    The sixth system, Treasury/FLETC.002 FLETC Trainee Records (66 FR 
43955 August 21, 2001), is maintained by the Federal Law Enforcement 
Training Center (FLETC) and records individuals who attend a FLETC-
sponsored training program, symposium, or similar event.
    The seventh system, USSS.009 Training Information System (66 FR 
45362 August 28, 2001), is maintained by the United States Secret 
Service and records the training records of current and former Secret 
Service employees and officers of the Secret Service Uniformed 
Division.
    Additionally, the Department of Homeland Security is giving notice 
that it proposes to add a routine use to the existing Department of 
Homeland Security-wide system of records notice titled DHS/ALL-003 
Department of Homeland Security General Training Records (71 FR 26767 
May 8, 2006). The routine use is to providing training records to 
employers to the extent necessary to obtain information pertinent to 
the individual's fitness and qualifications for training and to provide 
training status.
    Eliminating these notices and adding this routine use will have no 
adverse impacts on individuals, but will promote the overall 
streamlining and management of DHS Privacy Act record systems.
