Department of Homeland Security January 16, 2013 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, the Department of Homeland Security proposes to update and reissue the Department of Homeland Security system of records titled, ``Department of Homeland Security/U.S. Customs and Border Protection002 Global Enrollment System'' system of records. This system of records allows the Department of Homeland Security/U.S. Customs and Border Protection to collect and maintain records on individuals who voluntarily provide personally identifiable information to U.S. Customs and Border Protection in return for enrollment in a program that will make them eligible for expedited processing at designated U.S. border ports of entry, including all trusted traveler and registered traveler programs. This system of records notice is being re-published to update the categories of records, authorities, purposes, routine uses, retrievability, retention and disposal, notification procedures, record sources, and exemptions sections of the system. Additionally, this notice includes non-substantive changes to simplify the formatting and text of the previously published notice. The Global Enrollment System will now maintain law enforcement information as part of the vetting results, therefore the Department of Homeland Security is issuing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, to exempt this system of records from certain provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, elsewhere in the Federal Register. This updated system will be included in the Department of Homeland Security's inventory of record systems.
