Office of the Secretary
[Docket No. DHS–2016–0054]
Privacy Act of 1974; Department of
Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and
Border Protection—009 Electronic
System for Travel Authorization
System of Records
Privacy Office, Department of
Homeland Security.
ACTION: Notice of Privacy Act System of
Records.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to
update and reissue the DHS system of
records titled, ‘‘DHS/U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP)–009 Electronic
System for Travel Authorization (ESTA)
System of Records.’’ This system of
records allows DHS/CBP to collect and
maintain records on nonimmigrant
aliens seeking to travel to the United
States under the Visa Waiver Program
and other persons, including U.S.
citizens and lawful permanent
residents, whose names are provided to
DHS as part of a nonimmigrant alien’s
ESTA application or Form I–94W. The
system is used to determine whether an
applicant is eligible to travel to and
enter the United States under the Visa
Waiver Program (VWP) by vetting his or
her ESTA application information or
Form I–94W information against
selected security and law enforcement
databases at DHS, including TECS (not
an acronym) and the Automated
Targeting System (ATS). In addition,
ATS retains a copy of ESTA application
and Form I–94W data to identify

individuals from Visa Waiver Program
countries who may pose a security risk
to the United States. The ATS maintains
copies of key elements of certain
databases in order to minimize the
impact of processing searches on the
operational systems and to act as a
backup for certain operational systems.
DHS may also vet ESTA application
information against security and law
enforcement databases at other federal
agencies to enhance DHS’s ability to
determine whether the applicant poses
a security risk to the United States and
is eligible to travel to and enter the
United States under the VWP. The
results of this vetting may inform DHS’s
assessment of whether the applicant’s
travel poses a law enforcement or
security risk and whether the
application should be approved.
DHS/CBP is updating this system of
records notice, last published on June
17, 2016, to clarify the category of
individuals, expand a routine use, and
expand the record source categories to
include information collected from
publicly available sources, such as
social media.
DATES: Submit comments on or before
October 3, 2016. This updated system
will be effective October 3, 2016.
