When an individual is seeking records 

about himself or herself from this 

system of records or any other

Department the individual believes may 

have the information about him or her;

individual certifying his/her agreement 

for the first individual to access his or 

her records.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 

1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to 

establish a new DHS system of records 

titled, ‘‘DHS/ALL–040 Personnel 

Recovery Information System of 

Records.’’ 

The DHS Personnel Recovery 

Programs are responsible for: Ensuring 

that DHS personnel and contractors 

assigned overseas or on official travel 

outside the continental United States 

(OCONUS) have proper training and 

equipment to fulfill their respective 

mission; maintaining a twenty-four (24) 

hour monitoring center for all overseas 

personnel who are traveling outside 

their country of assignment; executing a 

coordinated response to personnel 

recovery incidents; maintaining a 

notification system within DHS to 

provide emergency-related notifications 

as needed without jeopardizing the 

safety of DHS personnel (including 

federal employees and contractors); and 

providing and developing tracking and 

locating technology. 

DHS will use the information 

collected in this system of records in 

furtherance of its responsibilities to 

prevent, prepare for, and respond to 

circumstances in which DHS and 

contractor personnel have been 

abducted, detained, held hostage, 

declared missing, or impacted by a 

terrorist attack, natural disaster, 

government takeover, transportation 

accident, or are otherwise isolated from 

friendly support, pursuant to 

Presidential Policy Directive (PPD)–30,1

Hostage Recovery Activities, issued in 

2015. 

Presidential Policy Directive-30 

directs each department and agency 

with overseas responsibilities to, among 

other things, provide personnel recovery 

preparation, education, and training 

programs to enable personnel recovery 

from a threat environment. 

This system of records is being 

established to document the types of 

personal information collected on 

individuals, and to ensure that such 

information is appropriately shared to 

enable the recovery of DHS personnel 

(including federal employees and 

contractors) assigned overseas or on 

official travel abroad in the event they 

are isolated from friendly support. The 

Personnel Recovery Information System 

will be used to facilitate collaboration 

with the Department of State (DOS) and 

other federal agencies. The information 

will be maintained in DHS systems that 

serve as data repositories of personnel 

data. 

Information covered by the Personnel 

Recovery Information System of Records 

is only used for personnel recovery 

purposes, and is only shared outside 

DHS to further its personnel recovery 

objectives with permission from DHS 

personnel. 

Consistent with DHS’s information 

sharing mission, information stored in 

the DHS/ALL–040 Personnel Recovery 

Information System may be shared with 

other DHS components that have a need 

to know the information to carry out 

their national security, law enforcement, 

immigration, intelligence, or other 

homeland security functions. In 

addition, DHS may share information 

with appropriate federal, state, local, 

tribal, territorial, foreign, or 

international government agencies 

consistent with the routine uses set 

forth in this system of records notice. 

This newly established system will be 

included in DHS’s inventory of record 

systems. 

II. Privacy Act 

The Privacy Act embodies fair 

information practice principles (FIPP) in 

a statutory framework governing the 

means by which Federal Government 

agencies collect, maintain, use, and 

disseminate 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 

from 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 U.S. 

citizens and lawful permanent 

residents. Additionally, and similarly, 

the Judicial Redress Act (JRA) provides 

a statutory right to covered persons to 

make requests for access and 

amendment to covered records, as 

defined by the JRA, along with judicial 

review for denials of such requests. In 

addition, the JRA prohibits disclosures 

of covered records, except as otherwise 

permitted by the Privacy Act. 

Below is the description of the DHS/ 

ALL–040 Personnel Recovery 

Information System of Records. 

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

DHS has provided a report of this 

system of records to the Office of 

Management and Budget and to 

Congress.

(DHS)/ALL–040 Personnel Recovery

repositories of personnel data. 

SYSTEM MANAGER(S): 

For DHS Headquarters components, 

the System Manager is the Deputy Chief 

Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 

Officer, Department of Homeland
