SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science & Technology Directorate (S&T) proposes to modify and reissue a current DHS system of records titled, ‘‘DHS/S&T–001 Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation System of Records.’’ S&T’s mission is to conduct research, development, testing, and evaluation (RDT&E or RDT&E activities) on topics and technologies related to improving homeland security and combating terrorism. Some RDT&E activities involve the collection of personally identifiable information. This system of records covers records collected in support of, or during the conduct of, DHS/S&T-funded RDT&E activities in support of DHS Components and other partners in the Homeland Security Enterprise. Records can be collected through RDT&E activities such as testing and evaluating a screening technology, obtaining feedback on a technology from volunteer participants, or evaluating analytic tools using publicly available information. Pursuant to its statutory mandate, S&T engages in both basic and applied RDT&E. Basic research is that RDT&E which is normally conducted without specific applications toward processes or products in mind. For example, S&T researchers often engage in the development of knowledge products (e.g., white papers, literature reviews, peer-reviewed scholarly articles) for distribution to the Homeland Security Enterprise at large. This type of RDT&E is not in response to an external demand signal; rather, individual subject matter experts (SME) use their expertise and experience to advance the science of their respective fields.
