Component: Customs and Border
Protection.
Date of approval: March 24, 2008.
DHS and CBP, in conjunction with
the Bureau of Consular Affairs at the
Department of State, published in the
Federal Register a final rule to notify
the public of how they will implement

System: Transportation Worker
Identification Credential Program Final
Rule.
Component: Transportation Security
Administration.
Date of approval: October 5, 2007.
The Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) published a joint
Final Rule with the United States Coast
Guard to implement a Transportation
Worker Identification Credential (TWIC)
program to provide a biometric
credential that can be used to confirm
the identity of workers in the national
transportation system, and conducted a
PIA associated with that Final Rule.
TSA is amending the PIA to reflect the
development of TWIC contactless card
capability in sections 1.4, 1.6, 9.2 and
9.3, and the approval of the records
schedule by NARA in section 3. This
PIA replaces the one published
December 29, 2006.
System: Universal Commercial
Driver’s License (CDL) Security Threat
Assessment.
Component: Transportation Security
Administration.
Date of approval: October 12, 2007.
TSA conducts security threat
assessments on Commercial Driver’s
License (CDL) holders. CDL holders are
licensed to operate large commercial
motor vehicles that potentially pose
threats to transportation security.
Congress directed TSA to perform threat
assessments on certain CDL holders in
the SAFE PORT Act Pub. L. No. 109–
347, 120 Stat. 1884 (2006). Since the
potential threat extends beyond ports,
TSA will perform security threat
assessments on all CDL holders
pursuant to its authority under 49
U.S.C. 14(f) which gives TSA broad

authority ‘‘to assess threats to
transportation’’ including vetting
persons who could pose a threat to
transportation.
System: Visitor Management System.
Component: Transportation Security
Administration.
Date of approval: October 19, 2007.
The PIA previously published on July
14, 2006, has been amended to reflect
the collection of a photograph to be
placed on the temporary badge. The
photograph will be stored in the system
only for so long as is required to create
the badge, then is deleted to create the
next badge. This PIA replaces the
previously published PIA.
System: Airmen Certificate Vetting
Program.
Component: Transportation Security
Administration.
Date of approval: October 22, 2007.
TSA implemented a process to
conduct security threat assessments on
all Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) Airmen Certificate applicants and
holders to ensure that the individual
does not pose or is not suspected of
posing a threat to transportation or
national security. FAA Airmen
Certificate holders include pilots, air
crews, and others required to hold a
certificate pursuant to FAA regulations.
Because this program entails a new
collection of information by TSA about
members of the public in an identifiable
form, the E-Government Act of 2002 and
the Homeland Security Act of 2002
require that the TSA issue a PIA. The
data collected and maintained for this
program and the details and uses of this
information are outlined in this PIA.
System: DHS/UKvisas Project.
Component: U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services.
Date of approval: November 14, 2007.
Recently the United Kingdom (UK)
enacted legislation requiring the
submission of biometric data by almost
all individuals filing applications for
UK visas. Officials from the UK and
DHS have agreed that individuals who
are physically located in the United
States (US) may provide the requisite
biometrics and limited biographical
information at U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS)
Application Support Centers (ASCs) for
forward transfer to the UK in support of
the adjudication of applications for
visas. USCIS will temporarily retain the
submitted biometric and biographical
records until the UK provides
confirmation that the transfer of data
was successful. USCIS will delete the
biometric and biographical records
immediately after it receives that
confirmation.

Application.
Component: National Protection and
Programs Directorate.
Date of approval: November 23, 2007.
The National Infrastructure
Coordinating Center (hereafter refer to

Operations Center (NOC) in the
Operations Directorate, operates the
INSight Information Management
System (INSight), designed to support
the identification of potentially
significant changes in the operational
status of the nation’s Critical
Infrastructures and Key Resources so
that trained analysts can provide timely
coordination with the NOC, respective
Information Sharing and Analysis
Centers, and other involved agencies in
the public sector and federal sectors.
INSight may collect personally
identifiable information (PII) associated
with infrastructure information;
accordingly NICC has conducted this
PIA.
System: Boarding Pass Scanning
System.
Component: Transportation Security
Administration.
Date of approval: November 29, 2007.
The Boarding Pass Scanning System
(BPSS) is a process and technology that
validates the authenticity of the
boarding pass at the TSA security

Tracking System (ECT).
Component: Department Wide.
Date of approval: December 3, 2007.
The Executive Secretariat of DHS
operates the Enterprise Correspondence
Tracking (ECT) system. The ECT is a
correspondence workflow management
system that assists DHS in responding to
inquiries from the public, other
government agencies, and the private
sector. Tens of thousands of pieces of
correspondence ranging from official
rulings, policy statements, testimony, or
even thank you letters are processed
annually by DHS. The Executive
Secretariat conducted this privacy
impact assessment because the ECT
collects and uses PII.
System: DHSAccessGate System.
Component: Management.
Date of approval: December 3, 2007.
DHS added a new layer of security to
its vendor employee access control
procedures at certain facilities by
offering a new and voluntary vendor
program called the DHSAccessGate
Program. Part of this program will
involve the collection of PII from
individuals who are not DHS employees
or contractors. The DHS Office of
Security has conducted this privacy
impact assessment because of the
collection of new PII.
