DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

[Docket No. DHS-2017-0039]


Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: Department of Homeland Security.

ACTION: Notice of a new system of records.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of 
Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to establish a new DHS system of 
records titled, ``Department of Homeland Security/ALL-041 External 
Biometric Records (EBR) System of Records.'' This system of records 
allows the DHS to receive, maintain, and disseminate biometric and 
associated biographic information from non-DHS entities, both foreign 
and domestic, for the following purposes pursuant to formal or informal 
information sharing agreements or arrangements (``external 
information''), or with the express approval of the entity from which 
the Department received biometric and associated biographic 
information: Law enforcement; national security; immigration screening; 
border enforcement; intelligence; national defense; and background 
investigations relating to national security positions, credentialing, 
and certain positions of public trust, consistent with applicable DHS 
authorities.
    Department of Homeland Security/ALL-041 External Biometric Records 
(EBR) System of Records (SOR) is one of two replacement system of 
records notices (SORN) for DHS/US-VISIT-001 DHS Automated Biometric 
Identification System (IDENT). This SORN applies to records provided to 
DHS by non-DHS entities that do not fall under existing Component/DHS 
SORNs. The other replacement for the IDENT SORN will be a forthcoming 
technical SORN focused on the technical aspects of the IDENT system. 
After the technical SORN is published, DHS will rescind the IDENT SORN 
by publishing a notice of rescindment in the Federal Register. 
Components are responsible for maintaining SORN coverage for biometric 
and associated biographic information collected by that Component.

[[Page 17830]]

    Additionally, DHS is issuing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) 
to exempt this system of records from certain provisions of the Privacy 
Act, elsewhere in the Federal Register. This newly established system 
will be included in the Department of Homeland Security's inventory of 
record systems.

DATES: Submit comments on or before May 24, 2018. This new system will 
be effective upon publication, with the exception of the routine uses, 
which will become effective May 24, 2018.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by docket number DHS-
2017-0039 by one of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In 2007, DHS published the IDENT SORN. Since then, the Department's 
Privacy Act framework and the IDENT information technology system have 
evolved as the Department has matured. DHS Component SORNs now govern 
the function and use of the biometrics records collected by each 
Component. The Department, however, still requires a SORN to cover 
biometrics received from non-DHS entities. Therefore, DHS is 
establishing DHS/ALL-041 External Biometric Records (EBR) System of 
Records, which governs the maintenance and use of biometrics and 
associated biographic information received from non-DHS entities that 
are not covered by an existing DHS Component SORNs. A forthcoming 
technical SORN will cover the limited information created by the IDENT 
system. Eventually, both this EBR SORN and the planned technical SORN 
will replace the IDENT SORN. In the meantime, to avoid any gap in SORN 
coverage for biometrics and associated biographic information, the EBR 
and IDENT SORNs will co-exist. After the technical SORN is published, 
DHS will rescind the IDENT SORN by publishing a notice of rescindment 
in the Federal Register.
    External information is collected by non-DHS entities, including 
the Department of Defense (DoD), the Department of Justice (DOJ), State 
and local law enforcement authorities, or foreign governments. External 
information shared with DHS includes biometric (e.g., latent 
fingerprints) and associated biographic information that may be used by 
DHS for the following purposes: Law enforcement; national security; 
immigration screening; border enforcement; intelligence; national 
defense; and background investigations relating to national security 
positions, credentialing, and certain positions of public trust, 
consistent with applicable DHS authorities.
    DHS also maintains this information to support its information 
sharing agreements and arrangements with foreign partners to: Prevent 
travelers from assuming different identities to fraudulently gain 
admission or immigration benefits; identify individuals who seek to 
enter the United States for unauthorized purposes; identify those who 
have committed serious crimes or violated immigration law; enable 
informed decisions on visas, admissibility, or other immigration 
benefits. Such sharing augments the law enforcement and border control 
efforts of both the United States and its partners. Additionally, DHS 
is using this information in concert with external partners to 
facilitate the screening of refugees in an effort to combat terrorist 
travel consistent with DHS's and Components' authorities.
    Consistent with DHS's mission, information covered by DHS/ALL-041 
EBR may be shared with DHS Components that have a need to know the 
information to carry out their national security, law enforcement, 
immigration, intelligence, or other homeland security functions. In 
addition, DHS may share information with appropriate Federal, State, 
local, tribal, territorial, foreign, or international government 
agencies from the providing external entity, consistent with any 
applicable laws, rules, regulations, and information sharing and access 
agreements or arrangements. DHS may share biometric and associated 
biographic information as permitted pursuant to an applicable Privacy 
Act authorized disclosure, including routine uses set forth in this 
SORN. Additionally, DHS is issuing a NPRM to exempt this system of 
records from certain provisions of the Privacy Act elsewhere in the 
Federal Register. This newly established 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. Additionally, 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.
    Below is the description of the DHS/ALL-041 External Biometric 
Records (EBR) 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 
Congress.
SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:
    Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/ALL-041 External Biometric 
Records (EBR) System of Records.

Privacy Officer in consultation with counsel, when there exists a 
legitimate public interest in the disclosure of the information, when 
disclosure is necessary to preserve confidence in the integrity of DHS, 
or when disclosure is necessary to demonstrate the accountability of 
DHS's officers, employees, or individuals covered by the system, except 
to the extent the Chief Privacy Officer determines that release of the 
specific information in the context of a particular case would 
constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF RECORDS:
    DHS stores records in this system electronically in secure 
facilities protected through multi-layer security mechanisms and 
strategies that are physical, technical, administrative, and 
environmental in nature. The records may be stored on magnetic disc, 
tape, and digital media.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF RECORDS:
    Records may be retrieved by biometrics or select personal 
identifiers, including but not limited to names, identification 
numbers, dates of birth, nationality, document number, and address.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND DISPOSAL OF RECORDS:
    Record Schedule DAA-0563-2013-0001 for DHS's biometric and 
biographic records used for national security, law enforcement, 
immigration, and other functions consistent with DHS authorities has 
been approved by National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). 
EBR records include:
    1. Law Enforcement Records: Identification, investigation, 
apprehension, and/or removal of aliens unlawfully entering or present 
in the United States and facilitate legal entry of individuals into the 
United States, which must be destroyed or deleted 75

[[Page 17833]]

years after the end of the calendar year in which the data is gathered.
    2. Records related to the analysis of relationship patterns among 
individuals and organizations that are indicative of violations of the 
customs and immigration laws including possible terrorist threats from 
non-obvious relationships and specific leads and law enforcement 
intelligence for active and new investigations. These records must be 
destroyed or deleted 15 years after the end of calendar year of last 
use of individual's data.
    The latent biometric retention schedule is currently in development 
with OBIM Headquarters and will be submitted thereafter to NARA for 
approval.

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL SAFEGUARDS:
    DHS safeguards records in this system according to applicable rules 
and policies, including all applicable DHS automated systems security 
and access policies. DHS has imposed strict controls 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.

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES:
    The Secretary of Homeland Security has exempted this system from 
the notification, access, and amendment procedures of the Privacy Act, 
and consequently the Judicial Redress Act if applicable, because it is 
a law enforcement system. However, DHS will consider individual 
requests to determine whether or not information may be released. Thus, 
individuals seeking access to and notification of any record contained 
in this system of records, or seeking to contest its content, may 
submit a request in writing to the Chief Privacy Officer and FOIA 
Officer, whose contact information can be found at https://www.dhs.gov/foia under ``Contacts Information.'' If an individual believes more 
than one Component maintains Privacy Act records concerning him or 
herself, the individual may submit the request to the Chief Privacy 
Officer and Chief Freedom of Information Act Officer, Department of 
Homeland Security, Washington, DC 20528-0655. Even if neither the 
Privacy Act nor the Judicial Redress Act provide a right of access, 
certain records about the individual may be available under the Freedom 
of Information Act.
    When seeking records about one from this system of records or any 
other Departmental system of records, the request must conform with the 
Privacy Act regulations set forth in 6 CFR part 5. The individual must 
first verify his or her identity, meaning that he or she must provide 
his or her full name, current address, and date and place of birth. The 
individual must sign the request, and the 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, an individual 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, the individual should:
     Explain why he or she believe the Department would have 
information being requested;
     Identify which Component(s) of the Department he or she 
believes may have the information;
     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 the request is seeking records pertaining to another living 
individual, the person seeking the records must include a statement 
from the subject individual certifying his/her agreement for the 
requestor to access his or her records.
    Without the above information, the Component(s) may not be able to 
conduct an effective search, and the request may be denied due to lack 
of specificity or lack of compliance with applicable regulations.

CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES:
    For records covered by the Privacy Act or covered JRA records, see 
``Record Access Procedures'' above, and 6 CFR part 5.

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES:
    See ``Record Access Procedures.''

EXEMPTIONS PROMULGATED 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)(5), and (e)(8); (f); and (g)(1) 
through (5). Additionally, the Secretary of Homeland Security, pursuant 
to 5 U.S.C. 552a(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); and (f).
    Exemptions from these particular subsections are justified on a 
case-by-case basis determined at the time a request is made. When this 
system receives a record from another system 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 claim any additional exemptions 
set forth here.

HISTORY:
    Records in this System of Records were previously covered under 
DHS/US-VISIT-001 DHS Automated Biometric Identification System (IDENT), 
72 FR 31080 (June 5, 2007).
