every five years after the close of a case 

or activity. In some cases, information 

may transferred prior to the five years. 

B. Notifications not associated with a 

Case or Activity are maintained for five 

years and then destroyed or deleted. 

Information collected by MISLE is 

stored for a minimum of five years after 

the record is created, after which the 

information will be retained, archived 

or destroyed in accordance with the 

MISLE Records Schedule approved by 

the National Archives and Records

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Pursuant to the savings clause in the 

Homeland Security Act of 2002, Public 

Law 107–306, Section 1512, 116 Stat. 

2310 (November 25, 2002), the 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS)/United States Coast Guard 

(USCG) has relied on previous Privacy 

Act systems of records notices for the 

collection maintenance of records that 

concern the United States Merchant 

Seamen’s Records system of records. 

As part of its efforts to streamline and 

consolidate its record systems, DHS is 

updating and reissuing a DHS/USCG 

system of records under the Privacy Act 

(5 U.S.C. 552a) that deals with United 

States Merchant Seamen’s Records 

program management. The collection 

and maintenance of this information 

will assist DHS/USCG in meeting its 

obligation to administer the United 

States Merchant Seamen’s Records 

program. 

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 

1974 and as part of DHS’s ongoing effort 

to review and update legacy system of 

records notices, DHS/USCG is giving 

notice that it proposes to update and 

reissue the following legacy record 

system DOT/CG 589 United States 

Merchant Seamen’s Records (65 FR 

19476 April 11, 2000) as a DHS/USCG 

system of records notice titled, DHS/ 

USCG—030 United States Merchant 

Seamen’s Records. The DHS/USCG— 

030 United States Merchant Seamen’s 

Records system is the USCG’s 

information system that administers the 

Commercial Vessel Safety Program to 

determine domestic and international 

qualifications for the issuance of 

licenses, documents, and staff officer 

certifications. Categories of individuals, 

categories of records, and the routine 

uses for this legacy system of records 

notice have been reviewed and updated 

to better reflect the United States 

Merchant Seamen’s Records record 

system. This new system will be 

included in DHS’s inventory of record 

systems. Additionally, DHS is issuing a 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) 

concurrent with this SORN elsewhere in 

the Federal Register. The exemptions 

for the legacy system of records notices 

will continue to be applicable until the 

final rule for this SORN has been 

completed. This new system will be 

included in the Department of 

Homeland Security’s inventory of 

record systems. 

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 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 

United States 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. 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 of their 

records, and to assist individuals to 

more easily find such files within the 

agency. Below is the description of the 

United States Merchant Seamen’s 

Records System of Records. 

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

DHS has provided a report of this new 

system of records to the Office of 

Management and Budget and to

portion of the records of 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 United States Attorney 

Offices) or other Federal agency

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

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.

government agencies pursuant to 

records management inspections being 

conducted under the authority of 44

individual for the purpose of performing

the security or confidentiality of 

information in the system of records has 

been compromised;

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 who 

relies upon the compromised 

information; and 

3. The disclosure made to such 

agencies, entities, and persons is 

reasonably necessary to assist in 

connection with DHS’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 private organizations when 

considered beneficial to the seaman.

the Veteran’s Administration, the Social 

Security Administration, the Internal

from which information is requested in 

the course of an investigation 

concerning the retention of an employee 

or other personnel action (other than 

hiring), or the retention of a security

other benefit, to the extent necessary to 

identify the individual, inform the 

source of the nature and purpose of the 

investigation, and to identify the type of 

information requested. 

K. To designated officers and 

employees of Federal, State, local or 

international agencies in connection 

with the hiring or continued 

employment of an individual, the 

conduct of a suitability or security 

investigation of an individual, the grant,

relevant and necessary to the hiring 

agency’s decision.

the purpose of merchant mariner callups related to national security. 

M. To the U.S. Navy for the purpose 

of verifying the credential status of Navy 

personnel.

with the approval of the Chief Privacy 

Officer in consultation with counsel,

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.
