SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the 
Department of Homeland Security (DHS), National Protection and Programs 
Directorate (NPPD), United States--Visitor and Immigrant Status 
Indicator Technology (US-VISIT) program is establishing a Privacy Act 
system of records known as Technical Reconciliation Analysis 
Classification System (TRACS). This system of records is an information 
management tool used for management and analysis of US-VISIT records. 
TRACS will help enhance the integrity of the United States immigration 
system by detecting, deterring, and pursuing immigration fraud, and by 
identifying persons who pose a threat to national security and/or 
public safety. TRACS will consist of paper files and electronic 
databases.
    The Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security has delegated 
to NPPD and US-VISIT the responsibility for enhancing the security of 
U.S. citizens and visitors; facilitating safe, efficient, and 
legitimate travel to the U.S.; promoting border security and the 
integrity of the immigration system; safeguarding the privacy of 
visitors to the U.S.
    NPPD and US-VISIT have also been delegated authority for assisting 
in the prevention of immigration identity fraud or theft; and serving 
law enforcement, border officials, and others who make decisions on 
immigration matters, including decisions on immigration benefits and 
status, by identifying aliens seeking permission to enter, entering, 
visiting, residing in, changing status within, or exiting the U.S.
    Finally, NPPD and US-VISIT have been delegated the responsibility 
for providing technical assistance and analytic services to other DHS 
functions and components and to other Federal agencies, as well as to 
State, local, tribal, and foreign governments, including multinational 
and international organizations, to better protect the Nation's 
physical and virtual borders.
    To discharge the above responsibilities, TRACS will be used to: (1) 
Identify individuals who have remained in the United States beyond 
their authorized period of admission (overstays); (2) maintain 
information on why individuals are promoted to or demoted from the 
Automated Biometric Identification System (IDENT) list of subjects of 
interest; (3) provide the means for additional research in regards to 
individuals whose biometrics are collected by DHS, and subsequently 
matched to the list of subjects of interest during a routine IDENT 
query. A query of this nature would take place following a background 
check or security screening relating to the individual's hiring or 
retention, performance of a job function, or the issuance of a license 
or credential, allowing them access to secured facilities to perform 
mission and non-mission related work. Examples of this include 
credentialing of Federal, non-Federal, and contractor employees who 
work within the secured areas of our nation's airports; (4) to further 
analyze information about individuals who may be identified as a 
subject of interest following a routine query against IDENT while 
applying for visas or other benefits on behalf of domestic partners, 
such as the U.S. Department of State or foreign partners, as is the 
case with the United Kingdom Border Agency's (UKBA) International Group 
Visa Services program, which supports the DHS mission; and (5) to 
provide information in response to queries from law enforcement and 
intelligence agencies charged with national security, law enforcement, 
immigration, or other DHS mission-related functions.
    Specifically, TRACS will be used for the analysis of overstays, for 
changes to the IDENT subject of interest lists, law enforcement and 
intelligence research, and to assist in developing and fostering 
foreign partnerships that enhance the goals and mission of US-VISIT, 
such as the work being done in association with the UKBA's 
International Group Visa Services project.
    To identify possible overstays, US-VISIT reviews and analyzes 
information in the Arrival and Departure Information System (ADIS), a 
US-VISIT system used for the storage and use of biographic, biometric 
indicator, and encounter data on aliens who have applied for entry, 
entered, or departed the United States. ADIS consolidates information 
from various systems in order to provide a repository of data held by 
DHS for pre-entry, entry, status management, and exit tracking of 
immigrants and non-immigrants. Its primary use is to facilitate the 
investigation of subjects of interest who may have violated their 
immigration status by remaining in the United States beyond their 
authorized stay. To assist in the resolution of overstays, information 
related to them may be copied to TRACS for review and further analysis 
against other US-VISIT programs and systems to better determine their 
status.
    Regarding changes to the IDENT Subject of Interest List, in order 
to maintain the integrity of the immigration and customs programs, DHS 
maintains records within IDENT to identify individuals who may present 
a terrorist threat to the United States as well as those individuals 
who may not be allowed to enter the country because of past violations 
of immigration or customs law. An individual is either promoted to or 
demoted from the list of subjects of interest within IDENT. As IDENT is 
not a case management system, it merely records the change, not the 
justification for the change. TRACS will have the ability to serve as a 
case management system and not only use the information regarding the 
changes to the list of subjects of interest that is recorded in IDENT 
but also to record and store the actual justification for any change. 
The user will also have the ability to enter data in pre-determined 
selectable categories or manually by either free text or by cutting and 
pasting information retrieved from other systems and placing it into a 
workspace in TRACS so that analysis can be performed.
    For assistance in background checks and security clearance 
processes for employment at DHS or receipt of a DHS license or 
credential, applicants may have their information searched against ADIS 
or IDENT records. Clearance, employment eligibility, or other license 
or credential applications that have a match against ADIS or IDENT may 
require additional research regarding the applicant. Such information 
would be maintained and tracked in TRACS.
    Regarding analyzing information on behalf of domestic or foreign 
partners, US-VISIT will assist its partners in analyzing information 
held by US-VISIT where such analysis supports the DHS mission. For 
example, for the UKBA visa services project, US-VISIT will receive 
biometric information from the UK for UK visa applicants and query 
their biometric information against the IDENT list of subjects of 
interest. US-VISIT will then provide the results from the query back to 
the UK for purposes of visa adjudication.
    Regarding law enforcement and intelligence research, US-VISIT may 
also receive requests from other law enforcement agencies, such as 
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), as 
well as from other intelligence agencies, to provide further 
information regarding the immigration status for individuals of 
interest to those

[[Page 34030]]

organizations. US-VISIT tracks these requests and the responses in 
TRACS.
    Information in TRACS comes primarily from ADIS and IDENT. TRACS may 
also contain information from other DHS component programs or systems, 
or publicly available source systems that are manually queried while 
researching a particular case. Data researched or identified through 
publicly available source systems, such as the internet, will be 
identified and referenced in the individual's record in TRACS. If it 
becomes routine for a specific public source system(s) to be used on a 
regular basis, the PIA will be updated to reflect this system(s) as a 
common source of information and data. For research conducted, based on 
an external request, information may also be provided from the 
requesting entity, as described below for the DHS/United Kingdom Border 
Agency's (UKBA) International Group Visa Services program.
    The data contained in TRACS is primarily from the US-VISIT systems 
Arrival and Departure Information System (ADIS) (72 FR 47057, Arrival 
and Departure Information System (ADIS), System of Records Notice, 
August 22, 2007); the Automated Biometric Identification System (IDENT) 
(72 FR 31080, Automated Biometric Identification System (IDENT), System 
of Records Notice, June 5, 2007); and a Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) system called the Treasury Enforcement Communications System 
(TECS) (66 FR 53029, Treasury Enforcement Communications System (TECS), 
System of Records Notice, October 18, 2001). TRACS also receives data 
from a Department of State (DOS) system called the Consolidated 
Consular Database (CCD); the Student and Exchange Visitor Information 
System (SEVIS) (70 FR 14477, Student and Exchange Visitor Information 
System (SEVIS), System of Records Notice, March 22, 2005); the Central 
Index System (CIS) (72 FR 1755, Central Index System (CIS), System of 
Records Notice, January 16, 2007); the Computer-linked Application 
Information Management System (CLAIMS 3 and 4) (64 FR 18052, Computer 
Linked Application Information Management System (CLAIMS 3 and 4), 
System of Records Notice, April 13, 1999); the Refugees, Asylum & 
Parole System (RAPS); the Deportable Alien Control System (DACS) (67 FR 
64136, Deportable Alien Control System (DACS), System of Records 
Notice, October 17, 2002); and the Enforcement Case Tracking System 
(ENFORCE). TRACS also contains data from Web searches for addresses and 
phone numbers.

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 legal 
permanent residents (LPRs). As a matter of policy, DHS extends 
administrative Privacy Act protections to all individuals, including 
aliens who are not LPRs, on whom a system of records maintains 
information. 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 to 
which their records are put, and to assist individuals to more easily 
find such files within the agency.
    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 Congress.

Prevention Act of 2004 (IRTPA), Public Law 108-458; The Implementing 
Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007, Public Law 110-53; 
and The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), Title 8, United States 
Code, as delegated by the Secretary, Department of Homeland Security.

Purpose(s):
    The purpose of this system is to serve as an information management 
tool used to enhance the integrity of the United States' immigration 
system by detecting, deterring, and pursuing immigration fraud, and 
identifying persons who pose a threat to national security and/or 
public safety, and to assist in supporting credentialing activities. 
TRACS is used to: identify individuals who have remained in the United 
States beyond their authorized period of admission (overstays); 
maintain information on why individuals are promoted to, or demoted 
from, the IDENT list of subjects of interest; assist in determining 
eligibility in connection with: Hiring or retention, issuance of a 
license or credential as part of a background check or security 
screening in connection with their hiring or retention, or performance 
of a job function or the issuance a license or credential for 
employment at DHS; and to analyze information regarding immigration 
status, including applications to enter and exit the United States, as 
well as the actual physical entries into and exits from the United 
States, in support of law enforcement and intelligence agencies. In 
addition, TRACS will be used to analyze data quality, integrity, and 
utility; and analyze data to establish trends and patterns in the data 
for future enforcement actions.

Routine uses of records maintained in the system, including categories 
of users and the purposes of such uses:
    In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 
552a(b) of the Privacy Act, all or a portion of the records or 
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 United States Department of Justice (including United 
States Attorney offices) or other federal agency conducting litigation 
or in proceedings before any court, adjudicative or administrative 
body, or to the court or administrative body, when it is necessary to 
the litigation and one of the following is a party to the litigation or 
has an interest in such litigation:
    1. DHS or any component thereof;
    2. Any employee of DHS in his/her 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 DHS 
collected the records.
    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.
    C. To the National Archives and Records Administration or other 
Federal government agencies pursuant to records management inspections 
being conducted under the authority of 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906.
    D. To an agency, organization, or individual for the purpose of 
performing audit or oversight operations as authorized by law, but only 
such information as is necessary and relevant to such audit or 
oversight function.
    E. To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when:
    1. DHS suspects or has confirmed that the security or 
confidentiality of information in the system of records has been 
compromised;
    2. The Department has determined that as a result of the suspected 
or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to economic or property 
interests, identity theft or fraud, 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 that rely upon 
the compromised information; and
    3. The disclosure made to such agencies, entities, and persons is 
reasonably necessary to assist in connection with DHS' 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. The 
individuals who provide 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, foreign, 
multinational, or international 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 appropriate Federal, State, local, tribal, foreign, 
multinational, or international governmental agencies seeking 
information on the subjects of wants, warrants, or lookouts, or any 
other subject of interest, for purpose related to administering or 
enforcing the law, national security, immigration, or preparedness and 
critical infrastructure protection, where consistent with a DHS 
mission-related function as determined by DHS.
    I. To appropriate Federal, State, local, tribal, foreign, 
multinational, or international government agencies charged with 
national security, law enforcement, immigration, intelligence, 
preparedness and critical infrastructure protection, or other DHS 
mission-related functions in connection with the hiring or retention by 
such an agency of an employee, the issuance of a security clearance, 
the reporting of an investigation of such an employee, the letting of a 
contract, or the issuance of a license, grant, loan, or other benefit 
by the requesting agency.

[[Page 34032]]

    J. To the news media and the public, with the approval of the Chief 
Privacy Officer in consultation with counsel, when there exists a 
legitimate public 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' 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.

Disclosure to consumer reporting agencies:
    None.

Policies and practices for storing, retrieving, accessing, retaining, 
and disposing of records in the system:
Storage:
    Records in this system are stored electronically or on paper in 
secure facilities in a locked drawer behind a locked door. The records 
are stored on magnetic disc, tape, digital media, and CD-ROM. 
Information may also be stored in secured case file folders, cabinets, 
safes, or a variety of secured electronic or computer databases and 
storage media to include data and materials introduced through legacy 
systems (e.g. spreadsheets).

Retrievability:
    Records may be retrieved by a variety of data elements including, 
but not limited to, name, place and date of arrival or departure, 
document number, and other personal identifiers.

Safeguards:
    Records in this system are safeguarded in accordance with 
applicable rules and policies, including all applicable DHS automated 
systems security and access policies. Strict controls have been imposed 
to minimize the risk of compromising the information that is being 
stored. Access to the computer system containing the records in this 
system is limited to those individuals who have a need to know the 
information for the performance of their official duties and who have 
appropriate clearances or permissions. The system maintains a real-time 
auditing function of individuals who access the system. Additional 
safeguards may vary by component and program. The system is protected 
through multi-layer security mechanisms. The protective strategies are 
physical, technical, administrative, and environmental in nature, and 
provide access control to sensitive data, physical access control to 
DHS facilities, confidentiality of communications, user authentication, 
and personnel screening to ensure that all personnel with access to 
data are screened through background investigations commensurate with 
the level of access required to perform their duties.

Retention and disposal:
    The following proposal for retention and disposal is pending 
approval with National Archives and Records Administration (NARA): Data 
will be disposed of when the information regarding the potential 
subject of interest has either been adjudicated or when the 75 year 
retention schedule has been met. Seventy five years is the retention 
period of IDENT and ADIS, the primary source systems of TRACS. Because 
TRACS is frequently used to establish and track decisions that affect 
the list of subjects of interest and overstay status in IDENT and ADIS, 
it is necessary that a retention period correspond to these systems.

System Manager and address:
    TRACS System Manager, US-VISIT Program, U.S. Department of Homeland 
Security, Washington, DC 20528.

Notification procedure:
    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 the component's FOIA Officer, whose 
contact information can be found at https://www.dhs.gov/foia under 
``contacts''. If an individual believes more than one component 
maintains Privacy Act records concerning him or her the individual may 
submit the request to the Chief Privacy Officer, Department of Homeland 
Security, 245 Murray Drive, SW., Building 410, STOP-0550, Washington, 
DC 20528.
    When seeking records about yourself from this system of records or 
any other Departmental 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 
or perjury as a substitute for notarization. While no specific form is 
required, you may obtain forms for this purpose form the Director, 
Disclosure and FOIA, https://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,
     Identify which component(s) of the Department you believe 
may have the information about you,
     Specify when you believe the records would have been 
created,
     Provide any other information that will help the FOIA 
staff determine which DHS component agency may have responsive records,
     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 component(s) will 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.
