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 an unwarranted invasion of
personal privacy.
POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF
RECORDS:

electronically or on paper in secure
facilities in a locked drawer behind a
locked door. The records may be stored
on magnetic disc, tape, and digital

Records may be retrieved by an
individual’s name, tax identification
number/Social Security number,
employee identification number, or
other personal identifier referenced in
the categories of records in the system.
POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND

Records Administration (NARA)
General Records Schedule 1.1, Financial
Management and Reporting Records,

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 Headquarters or
Component’s Freedom of Information
Act (FOIA) Officer, whose contact
VerDate Sep<11>2014
00:00 Dec 21, 2018
Jkt 247001
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
Judicial Redress Act provide a right of
access, certain records about you may be
available under the Freedom of
Information Act.
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 or her identity, meaning that
the individual must provide his or 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 he or she believes the
Department would have information on
him or her;
• Identify which Component(s) of the
Department the individual believes may
have the information about him or 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 person seeking the
records must include a statement from
the subject individual certifying his or
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
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, individuals
may make a request for amendment or
PO 00000
Frm 00086
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
65707
correction of a record of the Department
about the individual by writing directly
to the Department component that
maintains the record, unless the record
is not subject to amendment or
correction. The request should identify
each particular record in question, state
the amendment or correction desired,
and state why the individual believes
that the record is not accurate, relevant,
timely, or complete. The individual may
submit any documentation that would
be helpful. If the individual believes
that the same record is in more than one
system of records, the request should
state that and be addressed to each
component that maintains a system of
records containing the record.
NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES:
See ‘‘Record Access Procedures.’’
EXEMPTIONS PROMULGATED FOR THE SYSTEM:
None.
