The other information discussed in the Categories of Records section will be readily retrievable for five (5) years and then archived. Ten (10) years after being archived the records will be deleted from the system. This information is stored for this length of time to ensure the analytic process is properly informed and to show patterns or history to analysts in the course of their duty. The requirements supporting the collection and storage of data are reviewed regularly. Audit records, maintained to document access to information relating to specific individuals, will be readily retrievable for 90 days and then moved to long term storage. After five (5) years the records will be deleted from the system. Access to audit records will only be granted to authorized personnel. ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL SAFEGUARDS: DHS/USCG safeguards records in this system according to applicable rules and policies, including all applicable DHS automated systems security and access policies. USCG 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 because it is a law enforcement and intelligence system. However, DHS/USCG will consider individual requests to determine whether information may be released. 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 U.S. Coast Guard FOIA Office (CG–611), whose contact information can be found at https:// www.dhs.gov/foia under ‘‘Contacts Information.’’ If an individual believes more than one DHS 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 VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:07 Nov 20, 2020 Jkt 253001 the individual may be available under the Freedom of Information Act (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 he or she believes the Department would have information being requested; • Identify which component(s) of the Department he or she believes may have the information; • 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 a statement from the second individual certifying his/her agreement 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: Because this system contains classified and sensitive but unclassified information related to intelligence, counterterrorism, homeland security, and law enforcement programs, records in this system have been exempted from notification, access, and amendment to the extent permitted by subsections (j)(2) and (k)(1) and (2) of the Privacy Act. A request to amend non-exempt records in this system may be made by writing to the System Manager, identified above, in conformance with 6 CFR part 5, subpart B, which provides the rules for requesting access to Privacy Act records maintained by DHS. PO 00000 Frm 00083 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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)(4)(I), (e)(5), (e)(8); (f); and (g)(1). Additionally, the Secretary of Homeland Security, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(1), and (k)(2), 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), (e)(4)(I); and (f). 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 claims any additional exemptions set forth here.
