Records
Privacy Office, Department of
Homeland Security.
ACTION: Notice of modified Privacy Act
System of Records.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of
Homeland Security proposes to modify
and reissue a current Department of
Homeland Security system of records
titled, ‘‘Department of Homeland
Security/ALL–025 Law Enforcement
Authority in Support of the Protection
of Property Owned, Occupied, or
Secured by the Department of
Homeland Security System of Records.’’
This system of records allows the
Department of Homeland Security to
collect and maintain records on the
results of law enforcement activities in
support of the protection of property
owned, occupied, or secured by the
Department of Homeland Security and
its Components, including the Federal
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00051
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Protective Service, and individuals
maintaining a presence or access to such
property. The Department of Homeland
Security is updating this system of
records notice to, among other things,
(1) modify the category of individuals,
(2) modify the category of records, (3)
modify two existing routine uses, and
(4) add a new routine use. The
Department of Homeland Security is
also issuing a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking to add a new exemption
from certain provisions of the Privacy
Act, elsewhere in the Federal Register.
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. The existing
Privacy Act exemptions for this system
of records continue to apply to it.
Additionally, this notice includes nonsubstantive changes to simplify the
formatting and text of the previously
published notice.
This system of records notice does not
apply to the facilities and perimeters
secured by the U.S. Secret Service.
Records pertaining to perimeters and
facilities secured by the U.S. Secret
Service, other than those records subject
to the Presidential Records Act, are
covered under Department of Homeland
Security/U.S. Secret Service-004
Protection Information System of
Records, 76 FR 66940, October 28, 2011.
This modified system will be
included in the Department of
Homeland Security’s inventory of
record systems.
DATES: Submit comments on or before
July 14, 2017. This modified system will
be effective July 14, 2017.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by docket number DHS–
2017–0019 by one of the following
methods:
