SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, DHS/TSA proposes to modify and reissue a current DHS system of records notice (SORN) titled, ‘‘DHS/TSA–001 Transportation Security PO 00000 Frm 00047 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Enforcement Record System System of Records.’’ This modification more clearly identifies that this SORN contains records relating to the TSA Insider Threat program.

The category of individuals covered under this SORN will be modified to reflect that the system may contain information on both current and former owners, operators, and employees in all modes of transportation for which DHS/TSA has security-related duties; and will also cover individuals who have access to Sensitive Security Information (SSI) and are ‘‘covered persons’’ under the Sensitive Security Information regulation, 49 CFR part 1520.7. The category of records in this SORN will be modified to include place of birth; Government-issued identification; citizenship; results of any law enforcement, criminal history record, or open source checks; employment information and work history; and security and access clearances and background investigation information. This SORN also reflects that the applicable records retention schedules are approved by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). This SORN modifies routine uses ‘‘E’’ and ‘‘F’’ to be in conformity with Office of Management and Budget Memorandum M–17–12. This SORN E:\FR\FM\28AUN1.SGM 28AUN1
