SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
I. Background
In accordance with the Privacy Act of
1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) proposes a
new Privacy Act exemption to an
existing DHS system of records titled,
‘‘DHS/ALL–025 Law Enforcement
Authority in Support of the Protection
of Property Owned, Occupied, or
Secured by DHS System of Records.’’
The DHS/ALL–025 Law Enforcement
Authority in Support of the Protection
of Property Owned, Occupied, or
Secured by DHS System of Records
covers the collection, use, maintenance,
and dissemination of records relating to
the protection of property owned,
occupied, or secured by DHS. The
existing Privacy Act exemptions that
became effective upon publication of
the Final Rule at 74 FR 50901, continue
to apply to this system of records. DHS
is issuing a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking to add a new exemption
from certain provisions of the Privacy
Act.
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 personally identifiable
information. 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
the 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. Additionally, and
similarly, the Judicial Redress Act (JRA)
provides a statutory right to covered
persons to make requests for access and
amendment to covered records, as
defined by the JRA, along with judicial
review for denials of such requests. In
addition, the JRA prohibits disclosures
of covered records, except as otherwise
permitted by the Privacy Act.
The Privacy Act allows government
agencies to exempt certain records from
the access and amendment provisions. If
an agency claims an exemption,
however, it must issue a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking to make clear to
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
the public the reasons why a particular
exemption is claimed.
DHS is claiming an additional
exemption from certain requirements of
the Privacy Act for DHS/ALL–025 Law
Enforcement Authority in Support of
the Protection of Property Owned,
Occupied, or Secured by DHS System of
Records, under 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2).
Information in DHS/ALL–025 Law
Enforcement Authority in Support of
the Protection of Property Owned,
Occupied, or Secured by DHS System of
Records relates to official DHS law
enforcement activities. This new
exemption is needed to protect
information relating to DHS activities
from disclosure to subjects or others
related to these activities. Specifically,
the additional exemptions are required
to preclude subjects of these activities
from frustrating ongoing operations; to
avoid disclosure of activity techniques;
to protect the identities and physical
safety of confidential informants and
law enforcement personnel; to ensure
DHS’s ability to obtain information from
third parties and other sources; to
protect the privacy of third parties; and
to safeguard classified information.
Disclosure of information to the subject
of the inquiry could also permit the
subject to avoid detection or
apprehension.
In appropriate circumstances, when
compliance would not appear to
interfere with or adversely affect the law
enforcement purposes of this system
and the overall law enforcement
process, the applicable exemptions may
be waived on a case by case basis.
A notice of an updated system of
records for DHS/ALL–025 Law
Enforcement Authority in Support of
the Protection of Property Owned,
Occupied, or Secured by DHS System of
Records is also published in this issue
of the Federal Register.
List of Subjects in 6 CFR Part 5
Freedom of information; Privacy.
For the reasons stated in the
preamble, DHS proposes to amend
chapter I of title 6, Code of Federal
Regulations, as follows:
PART 5—DISCLOSURE OF RECORDS
AND INFORMATION
1. The authority citation for part 5
continues to read as follows:
■
Authority: 6 U.S.C. 101 et seq.; Pub. L.
107–296, 116 Stat. 2135; 5 U.S.C. 301.

38. The DHS/ALL–025 Law Enforcement
Authority in Support of the Protection of
Property Owned or Occupied by the
Department of Homeland Security system of
records consists of electronic and paper
records and will be used by DHS and its
components. The DHS/ALL–025 Law
Enforcement Authority in Support of the
Protection of Property Owned or Occupied
by the Department of Homeland Security
system is a repository of information held by
DHS in connection with its several and
varied missions and functions, including:
The enforcement of civil and criminal laws;
investigations, inquiries, and proceedings
there under; and national security and
intelligence activities. The DHS/ALL–025
Law Enforcement Authority in Support of the
Protection of Property Owned or Occupied
by the Department of Homeland Security
system contains information that is collected
by, on behalf of, in support of, or in
cooperation with DHS and its components
and may contain personally identifiable
information collected by other federal, state,
local, tribal, foreign, or international
government agencies. 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), (g)(1). Additionally, the Secretary
of Homeland Security, pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
552a(k)(1), (k)(2), and (k)(5), 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 set forth
here. Exemptions from these particular
subsections are justified, on a case-by-case
basis to be determined at the time a request
is made, for the following reasons:
(a) From subsection (c)(3) and (4)
(Accounting for Disclosures) because release
of the accounting of disclosures could alert
the subject of an investigation of an actual or
potential criminal, civil, or regulatory
violation to the existence of that investigation
and reveal investigative interest on the part
of DHS as well as the recipient agency.
Disclosure of the accounting would therefore
present a serious impediment to law
enforcement efforts and/or efforts to preserve
national security. Disclosure of the
accounting would also permit the individual
who is the subject of a record to impede the
investigation, to tamper with witnesses or
evidence, and to avoid detection or
apprehension, which would undermine the
entire investigative process.
(b) From subsection (d) (Access to Records)
because access to the records contained in
this system of records could inform the
subject of an investigation of an actual or
potential criminal, civil, or regulatory
violation to the existence of that investigation
and reveal investigative interest on the part
of DHS or another agency. Access to the
records could permit the individual who is
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:21 Jun 13, 2017
Jkt 241001
the subject of a record to impede the
investigation, to tamper with witnesses or
evidence, and to avoid detection or
apprehension. Amendment of the records
could interfere with ongoing investigations
and law enforcement activities and would
impose an unreasonable administrative
burden by requiring investigations to be
continually reinvestigated. In addition,
permitting access and amendment to such
information could disclose security-sensitive
information that could be detrimental to
homeland security.
(c) From subsection (e)(1) (Relevancy and
Necessity of Information) because in the
course of investigations into potential
violations of federal law, the accuracy of
information obtained or introduced
occasionally may be unclear, or the
information may not be strictly relevant or
necessary to a specific investigation. In the
interests of effective law enforcement, it is
appropriate to retain all information that may
aid in establishing patterns of unlawful
activity.
(d) From subsection (e)(2) (Collection of
Information from Individuals) because
requiring that information be collected from
the subject of an investigation would alert the
subject to the nature or existence of the
investigation, thereby interfering with that
investigation and related law enforcement
activities.
(e) From subsection (e)(3) (Notice to
Subjects) because providing such detailed
information could impede law enforcement
by compromising the existence of a
confidential investigation or reveal the
identity of witnesses or confidential
informants.
(f) From subsections (e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(H),
and (e)(4)(I) (Agency Requirements) and (f)
(Agency Rules), because portions of this
system are exempt from the individual access
provisions of subsection (d) for the reasons
noted above, and therefore DHS is not
required to establish requirements, rules, or
procedures with respect to such access.
Providing notice to individuals with respect
to the existence of records pertaining to them
in the system of records or otherwise setting
up procedures pursuant to which individuals
may access and view records pertaining to
themselves in the system would undermine
investigative efforts and reveal the identities
of witnesses, and potential witnesses, and
confidential informants.
(g) From subsection (e)(5) (Collection of
Information) because with the collection of
information for law enforcement purposes, it
is impossible to determine in advance what
information is accurate, relevant, timely, and
complete. Compliance with subsection (e)(5)
would preclude DHS agents from using their
investigative training and exercise of good
judgment to both conduct and report on
investigations.
(h) From subsection (e)(8) (Notice on
Individuals) because compliance would
interfere with DHS’s ability to obtain, serve,
and issue subpoenas, warrants, and other law
enforcement mechanisms that may be filed
under seal and could result in disclosure of
investigative techniques, procedures, and
evidence.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposes a new Privacy Act
exemption to an existing DHS system of records titled, ``DHS/ALL-025
Law Enforcement Authority in Support of the Protection of Property
Owned, Occupied, or Secured by DHS System of Records.'' The DHS/ALL-025
Law Enforcement Authority in Support of the Protection of Property
Owned, Occupied, or Secured by DHS System of Records covers the
collection, use, maintenance, and dissemination of records relating to
the protection of property owned, occupied, or secured by DHS. The
existing Privacy Act exemptions that became effective upon publication
of the Final Rule at 74 FR 50901, continue to apply to this system of
records. DHS is issuing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to add a new
exemption from certain provisions of the Privacy Act.
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 personally
identifiable information. 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 the 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. Additionally,
and similarly, the Judicial Redress Act (JRA) provides a statutory
right to covered persons to make requests for access and amendment to
covered records, as defined by the JRA, along with judicial review for
denials of such requests. In addition, the JRA prohibits disclosures of
covered records, except as otherwise permitted by the Privacy Act.
The Privacy Act allows government agencies to exempt certain
records from the access and amendment provisions. If an agency claims
an exemption, however, it must issue a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to
make clear to the public the reasons why a particular exemption is
claimed.
DHS is claiming an additional exemption from certain requirements
of the Privacy Act for DHS/ALL-025 Law Enforcement Authority in Support
of the Protection of Property Owned, Occupied, or Secured by DHS System
of Records, under 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2). Information in DHS/ALL-025 Law
Enforcement Authority in Support of the Protection of Property Owned,
Occupied, or Secured by DHS System of Records relates to official DHS
law enforcement activities. This new exemption is needed to protect
information relating to DHS activities from disclosure to subjects or
others related to these activities. Specifically, the additional
exemptions are required to preclude subjects of these activities from
frustrating ongoing operations; to avoid disclosure of activity
techniques; to protect the identities and physical safety of
confidential informants and law enforcement personnel; to ensure DHS's
ability to obtain information from third parties and other sources; to

could also permit the subject to avoid detection or apprehension.
In appropriate circumstances, when compliance would not appear to
interfere with or adversely affect the law enforcement purposes of this
system and the overall law enforcement process, the applicable
exemptions may be waived on a case by case basis.

contain personally identifiable information collected by other
federal, state, local, tribal, foreign, or international government
agencies. 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), (g)(1). Additionally, the Secretary of Homeland Security,
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(1), (k)(2), and (k)(5), 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 set forth here. Exemptions from these
particular subsections are justified, on a case-by-case basis to be
determined at the time a request is made, for the following reasons:
(a) From subsection (c)(3) and (4) (Accounting for Disclosures)
because release of the accounting of disclosures could alert the
subject of an investigation of an actual or potential criminal,
civil, or regulatory violation to the existence of that
investigation and reveal investigative interest on the part of DHS
as well as the recipient agency. Disclosure of the accounting would
therefore present a serious impediment to law enforcement efforts

(e) From subsection (e)(3) (Notice to Subjects) because
providing such detailed information could impede law enforcement by
compromising the existence of a confidential investigation or reveal
the identity of witnesses or confidential informants.
(f) From subsections (e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(H), and (e)(4)(I) (Agency
Requirements) and (f) (Agency Rules), because portions of this
system are exempt from the individual access provisions of
subsection (d) for the reasons noted above, and therefore DHS is not
required to establish requirements, rules, or procedures with
respect to such access. Providing notice to individuals with respect
to the existence of records pertaining to them in the system of
records or otherwise setting up procedures pursuant to which
individuals may access and view records pertaining to themselves in
