Privacy Act of 1974; Department of Homeland Security/U.S. 
Immigration and Customs Enforcement-014 Homeland Security 
Investigations Forensic Laboratory System of Records

AGENCY: Department of Homeland Security, Privacy Office.

ACTION: Notice of amendment of Privacy Act system of records.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of 
Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to update and reissue a current DHS 
system of records titled, ``Department of Homeland Security/U.S. 
Immigration and Customs Enforcement-014 Homeland Security 
Investigations Forensic Laboratory (HSI-FL) System of Records.'' This 
system of records allows the DHS/U.S. Immigration and Customs 
Enforcement (ICE) to collect and maintain records by the HSI-FL. The 
HSI-FL is a U.S. crime laboratory specializing in scientific 
authentication; forensic examination; research, analysis, and training 
related to travel and identity documents; latent and patent finger and 
palm prints; and audio and video files in support of law enforcement 
investigations and activities by DHS and other agencies. As a result of 
a biennial review of this system, DHS/ICE is updating this system of 
records notice to include minor changes that were made to make the 
wording consistent with the routine uses of other ICE System of Records 
Notice (SORN) and in accordance with Appendix I to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-130, Federal Agency 
Responsibilities for Maintaining Records About Individuals. DHS/ICE 
made minor changes to: Routine Use G that supports ICE's sharing of 
information with domestic and international law enforcement agencies 
when there is a violation, or potential criminal, civil, or regulatory 
violation of law, rule, regulation, or order; Routine Use H that 
supports parties involved in court litigation when DHS is a party or 
has an interest; Routine Use V that supports DHS in making a 
determination regarding redress for an individual; and the retention 
and disposal section has been updated to note that the current approved 
ICE records disposition authority states that all case files, other 
than war crime cases be destroyed five years after the date of 
completion of the forensic examination. War crime cases are unscheduled 
at this time, and thus deemed permanent records.
    In addition, a new schedule is currently being reviewed and once 
approved will provide lengthier retention periods than the current 
schedule. ICE is proposing that case files related to significant cases 
such as war crimes, terrorism, and homicide cases should be retained at 
ICE for 20 years after completion of the investigation and all actions 
based thereon, and then transferred to the National Archives for 
permanent retention. Once the schedules are approved the SORN will be 
updated to reflect the changes. The exemptions for the existing SORN 
will continue to be unchanged. This updated system will be included in 
DHS's inventory of record systems.

DATES: Submit comments on or before August 15, 2016. This updated 
system will be effective August 15, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the 
Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Immigration and Customs 
Enforcement (ICE) proposes to update and reissue a current DHS system 
of records titled, ``DHS/ICE-014 Homeland Security Investigations 
Forensic Laboratory System of Records.''
    The Homeland Security Investigations Forensic Laboratory (HSI-FL) 
is an accredited crime laboratory located within ICE's Office of 
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) that provides a broad range of 
forensic, intelligence, and investigative support services for ICE, 
DHS, and many other U.S. and foreign law enforcement agencies. The HSI-
FL is the only U.S. crime laboratory specializing in scientific 
authentication; forensic examination; research, analysis, and training 
related to travel and identity documents; latent and patent finger and 
palm prints; and audio and video files

[[Page 45524]]

in support of law enforcement investigations and activities by DHS and 
other agencies.
    As a result of a biennial review of this system, DHS/ICE is 
updating this SORN to include minor changes to make the wording 
consistent with the routine uses of other ICE SORNs and in accordance 
with Appendix I to OMB Circular A-130, Federal Agency Responsibilities 
for Maintaining Records About Individuals. DHS/ICE made minor changes 
to routine use G to support ICE's sharing of information with domestic 
and international law enforcement agencies when there is a violation, 
or potential criminal, civil, or regulatory violation of rule, 
regulation, or order; routine use H to support parties involved in 
litigation before a court or adjudicative body when DHS is a party or 
has an interest; and routine use V to support DHS in making a 
determination regarding redress for an individual. These changes are 
not intended to alter the purpose of these routine uses but to ensure 
that ICE's SORNs are using consistent and clear routine use language. 
Finally, the retention and disposal section has been updated to note 
the current approved ICE records disposition authority states that all 
case files, other than war crime cases, be destroyed five years after 
the date of completion of the forensic examination. War crime cases are 
unscheduled records at this time, and thus deemed permanent records 
until a retention period has been approved by the National Archivist.
    In addition, a new schedule is currently being reviewed and once 
approved will provide lengthier retention periods than the current 
schedule. ICE is proposing that case files related to significant cases 
such as war crimes, terrorism, and homicide cases should be retained at 
ICE for 20 years after completion of the investigation and all actions 
based thereon, and then transferred to the National Archives for 
permanent retention. Once the schedules are approved the SORN will be 
updated to reflect the changes.
    DHS/ICE issued a Final Rule to exempt this system of records from 
certain provisions of the Privacy Act on April 2, 2014 (79 FR 18441). 
These regulations remain in effect. This updated system will be 
included in DHS's inventory of record systems.

II. Privacy Act

    The Privacy Act embodies fair information practice principles in a 
statutory framework governing the means by which federal government 
agencies collect, maintain, use, and disseminate 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 from 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 U.S. citizens and lawful 
permanent residents. As a matter of policy, DHS extends administrative 
Privacy Act protections to all individuals when systems of records 
maintain information on U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and 
visitors.
    Below is the description of the DHS/ICE-014 Homeland Security 
Investigations Forensic Laboratory System of Records.
    In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), DHS has provided a report of 
this system of records to the Office of Management and Budget and to

submitted by an individual who has requested such redress on behalf of 
another individual.
    W. 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's 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:
    ICE stores records in this system electronically or on paper in 
secure facilities in a locked drawer behind a locked door. The records 
may be stored in hard copy and electronically on magnetic disc, tape, 
digital media, and CD-ROM.

Retrievability:
    ICE may retrieve records by name; identification numbers including 
case or record number if applicable; other personal identification 
numbers including Alien Registration Number (A-Number), fingerprint 
identification number, and other personal identification numbers; and 
case related data and/or combination of other personal identifiers 
including, but not limited to, date of birth and nationality.

Safeguards:
    ICE safeguards records in this system 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.

Retention and disposal:
    The current approved ICE records disposition authority states that 
all case files not pertaining to war crimes be destroyed five years 
after the date of completion of the forensic examination. War crime 
case files are unscheduled at this time, and thus are deemed permanent 
records.
    A new records schedule is currently being reviewed, and once 
approved, will provide lengthier retention periods than the current 
schedule. ICE is proposing that case files related to significant cases 
such as war crimes, terrorism, and homicide cases should be retained at 
ICE for 20 years after completion of the investigation and all actions 
based thereon, and then transferred to the National Archives for 
permanent retention.
    Once the schedules are approved, the SORN will be updated to 
reflect the changes.

Investigations Forensic Laboratory, Unit Chief, 8000 West Park Drive, 
McLean, VA 22102-3105.

Notification procedure:
    The Secretary of Homeland Security has exempted this system from 
the notification, access, and amendment procedures of the Privacy Act 
because it is a law enforcement system. However, DHS/ICE will consider 
individual requests to determine whether or not information may be 
released. Thus, 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 ICE's Freedom of 
Information Act (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 and Chief Freedom of Information Act Officer, 
Department of Homeland Security, 245 Murray Drive SW., Building 410, 
STOP-0655, 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, as well as your 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 of perjury as a substitute for notarization. While 
no specific form is required, you may obtain forms for this purpose 
from the Chief Privacy Officer and Chief Freedom of Information Act 
Officer, https://www.dhs.gov/foia or 1-866-431-0486. In addition, you 
should:
     Explain 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; and
     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 the above information, the component(s) may not be able to 
conduct an effective search, and your request may be denied due to a 
lack of specificity or a lack of compliance with applicable 
regulations.

Record access procedures:
    See ``Notification procedure'' above.

Contesting record procedures:
    See ``Notification procedure'' above.

Record source categories:
    Records in the system are supplied by several sources. In general, 
ICE obtains information from federal, state, local, tribal, or foreign 
governments. More specifically, DHS/ICE-014 records are derived from 
the following sources: (a) Other federal, state, local, tribal, or 
foreign governments and government information systems; and (b) 
evidence, contraband, and other seized material.

Exemptions claimed for the system:
    The Secretary of Homeland Security, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 
552a(j)(2), has exempted this system from the following provisions of 
the Privacy Act 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3), (c)(4); (d); (e)(1), (e)(2), 
(e)(3), (e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(H), (e)(4)(I), (e)(5), (e)(8); (f); and (g). 
Additionally, the Secretary of Homeland Security, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 
552a(k)(2), has exempted this system from the following provisions of 
the Privacy Act: 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3); (d); (e)(1), (e)(4)(G), 
(e)(4)(H), (e)(4)(I); and (f). When a record received from another 
system has been exempted in that source system under 5 U.S.C. 
552a(j)(2), DHS will claim the same exemptions for those records that 
are claimed for the original primary systems of records from which they 
originated and claims any additional exemptions in accordance with this 
rule.
