NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE: 

The Secretary of Homeland Security 

has exempted this system from the 

notification, access, and amendment 

procedures of the Privacy Act because it 

is a law enforcement system. However, 

CBP will consider individual requests to 

determine whether or not information 

may be released. Thus, 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 United States Immigration and 

Customs Enforcement, Freedom of 

Information Act Office, 800 North 

Capitol Street, NW., Room 585, 

Washington, DC 20536. 

When seeking records about yourself 

from this system of records or any other 

ICE 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 under 28 

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

statements to be made under penalty of 

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, 

• Specify when you believe the 

records would have been created, 

• 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 

ICE may 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.
