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:
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 Chief FOIA Officer, or a
component FOIA Officer, whose contact
information can be found at https://
www.dhs.gov/foia under ‘‘contact
information.’’ If an individual believes
more than one component maintains
Privacy Act records concerning him or
her, 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
JRA provide a right of access, certain
records about a person may be available
under FOIA.
When an individual is seeking records
about himself or herself from this
system of records or any other
Departmental system of records, the
individual’s request must conform with
the Privacy Act regulations set forth in
6 CFR part 5. The individual must first
verify his/her identity, meaning that the
individual must provide his/her full
name, current address, and date and
place of birth. The individual must sign
the request, and the individual’s
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 the individual believes
the Department would have information
on him/her;
• Identify which component(s) of the
Department the individual believes may
have the information about him/her;
• Specify when the individual
believes 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 an individual’s request is seeking
records pertaining to another living
individual, the first individual must
include, in accordance with 6 CFR part
5.21, a statement from the second
individual certifying his/her agreement
PO 00000
Frm 00063
Fmt 4703

for the first individual to access his/her
records. Without the above information,
the component(s) may not be able to
conduct an effective search, and the
individual’s 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.
