In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of Homeland Security proposes to update and reissue a Department of Homeland Security system of records titled, ``Department of Homeland Security Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties001 Matters System of Records,'' January 6, 2004.

The Department's civil rights and civil liberties staff advise Departmental and/or component leadership, personnel, and partners about civil rights and civil liberties issues, ensuring respect for civil rights and civil liberties in policy decisions and implementation of those decisions. Civil rights and civil liberties staff also review and assess information concerning abuses of civil rights, civil liberties, such as profiling on the basis of race, ethnicity, or religion, by employees and officials of the Department of Homeland Security. The Department's civil rights and civil liberties staff also ensure that all federally-assisted and federally-conducted programs or activities of the Department comply with the provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Department's civil rights and civil liberties staff investigate complaints, including: allegations that individuals acted under color of law or otherwise abused their authority; discrimination; profiling; violations of the confidentiality provisions of the Violence Against Women Act; conditions of detention; treatment; due process; and watch list issues.

NMFS proposes regulations that would amend the limited access program for charter vessels in the guided sport fishery for Pacific halibut in the waters of International Pacific Halibut Commission Regulatory Area 2C (Southeast Alaska) and Area 3A (Central Gulf of Alaska).

This action is necessary to achieve the halibut fishery management goals of the North Pacific Fishery Management Council.
