Download as PDF pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 6 / Wednesday, January 9, 2008 / Notices relation to the information provided, including proper training, establishing that each user has been cleared to access the sensitive information contained in the passport records system, and ensuring that password-protected access is appropriately safeguarded by users and the agency alike. Moreover, every user who is granted access to the system is subject to remote monitoring to ensure that s/he is accessing the system for the limited, routine use that has been prescribed in advance for each user. The overall impact on privacy is thereby minimized since each user may only access an individual’s information in relation to a concrete, pre-determined purpose that has been authorized by Congress and/or established by a formal, written agreement with the Department. The Department ultimately retains control of the Passport Records System and is able to appropriately limit the amount and type of information each user is able to access. Furthermore, the responsibility and accountability for all users rests with the Directorate of Passport Services. Therefore, access and control of the Passport Records system remains within the Department to allow for appropriate internal checks and balances over all users, whether in the Department of State or at partner entities. Deviations from the predetermined routine uses are not permitted, and employees may be subject to sanctions for mishandling Privacy Act-protected information. Safeguards: Access to the Department of State building and the annexes containing this system of records is controlled by security guards, and admission is limited to those individuals possessing a valid identification card or individuals under proper escort. These records are maintained in secured file cabinets, computer media, and/or in restricted areas, access to which is limited to authorized personnel. The computerized files are passwordprotected and under the direct supervision of a system manager who can monitor and audit trails of access. The system manager has the capability of printing audit trails of access from the computer media, thereby permitting regular and ad hoc monitoring of computer usage. In addition, the system logs all search and query activities conducted by users, and submits notification alerts to certifying authorities and system administrators if any unusual activity occurs. Any unusual system access patterns by nonDepartment users are logged and may result in suspension or termination of VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:53 Jan 08, 2008 Jkt 214001 an individual user’s or an agency’s access rights. In addition, all Department employees have undergone a thorough background investigation prior to their employment. Department employees with access to the passport system are also required to undergo initial training in proper handling of this sensitive data, as well as in the correct method to maintain the security of the passport records system. All Department employees must also engage in refresher training at least annually on basic cyber security awareness, as well as training in any new security protections that may be added. As described above, partner entities also agree to provide initial and updated security training to all users who have any form of access to the passport system. Additional safeguards regarding access to the Department and its annexes are stated in the system description. Compatibility: The routine uses indicated are necessary for the recipients of information from the Passport Services Office to carry out their responsibilities for dealing with issues and problems of a legal, investigative, technical, or procedural nature that may arise pursuant to an application for or any use of a U.S. passport. The Department collects data on individual passport applicants in order to establish an individual’s unique identity and citizenship for passport issuance. This not only enables the Department to issue passports to qualified U.S. citizens and nationals, but it also facilitates the international travel of millions of passport holders by minimizing potential fraud in the application process, which in turn increases the value and functionality of the U.S. passport as a travel and identification document. Moreover, this database enables the Department to further support the Secure Border, Open Doors initiative by assisting border patrol officers to efficiently process returning U.S. passport holders whose identities are clearly established by their passport document, which in turn is validated by the passport records system. The routine uses listed above are functionally equivalent to the original purpose of data collection. Passport Services gathers data in order to establish a sound basis to establish and document an individual’s unique identity. The proposed routine users listed above likewise must establish an individual’s identity in order to carry out their critical missions, which range from law enforcement, to border PO 00000 Frm 00088 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 1665 security, to verification of potential employment eligibility. For example, the U.S. passport is an I–9-listed Employment Eligibility Verification document that may be presented as proof of employment eligibility; thus, data disclosure to corroborate the passport’s validity is compatible with the original purpose of collection. Additionally, Passport Services has worked to make the U.S. passport an internationally recognized, premier travel document. Of those entities listed above, many carry out travel-related functions that are compatible with the Passport Services mission and, thus, the original purpose of the data collection. Without adequate information and documentation, these entities would be unable or less able to ascertain whether the individual seeking entry into the United States or using the passport for overseas travel, is in fact the individual s/he claims to be. The passport records system provides a database of information that has already been well-scrutinized and evaluated by Department employees who are trained in fraud detection. Access to this thoroughly inspected database will aid the above-listed routine users as they seek to accomplish their functions. Additionally, providing other agencies the ability to confirm an individual’s unique identity supports national defense, border security, and foreign policy activities, and ensures the integrity of law enforcement, counterterrorism, and fraud-prevention activities.
