Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; Comment Request, 70865-70866 [05-23132]

Download as PDF 70865 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 225 / Wednesday, November 23, 2005 / Notices NAIS will process (e.g., validate, filter, etc.) and store the data. Some NAIS functions may be implemented by enhancing existing systems. These systems, while not part of NAIS, are included in the context of the systems’ operations. Primarily, it is expected that these systems (e.g., Ports and Waterways Safety System [PAWSS], Sector Command Centers [SCC], Maritime Information Safety and Law Enforcement [MISLE], Vessel Traffic Services [VTS]) will provide data processing functions (e.g., vessel tracking correlation, intelligence processing, anomaly detection) and user interfaces necessary to meet all the requirements for fully using AIS data. Some users of NAIS capabilities (e.g., Deepwater assets and other government agencies) may indirectly access AIS data via other systems. NAIS will complement other surveillance and intelligence systems greatly aiding the essential process of identifying vessels requiring further investigation and action. NAIS information will be displayed in the USCG national maritime COP and shared, along with correlated data and intelligence as appropriate, with other DHS and federal agencies. Unclassified portions of the COP will also be available to local port partners in support of security and safety operations. This information will be invaluable to agencies, such as Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), as it will provide real-time location data on all major cargo and other commercial vessels in the maritime domain.
