Privacy Act of 1974; U.S. Customs and Border Protection-Non-Federal Entity Data System, Systems of Records
In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Department of Homeland Security proposes to add the following system of records to its inventory of records systems, the Non-Federal Entity Data System. Certain States, Native American Tribes, Canadian Provinces and Territories, and other non-Federal Governmental Authorities may make available travel documents, such as Enhanced Driver's Licenses (EDLs), that may be deemed by the Secretary of DHS as denoting identity and citizenship for purposes of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI), upon implementation, as mandated by the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, Pub. L. 108-458, 118 Stat. 3638 (2004). It is anticipated that all such documents will utilize facilitative technology such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), and contain a Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology. In certain instances, other non-federal and foreign government authorities may provide to CBP biographical information and photographs that have been voluntarily submitted to the issuing entity by individuals choosing to apply for such travel documents, with the understanding that this information will be provided to DHS and CBP. DHS will use this information to facilitate the validation of travel documents when an individual crosses the border.
Privacy Act of 1974; U.S. Customs and Border Protection-Border Crossing Information, Systems of Records
Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) gives notice that it is establishing a distinct System of Records, Border Crossing Information (BCI). BCI will receive and maintain border crossing information on travelers who are admitted or paroled into the United States, this information includes: Certain biographical information; a photograph; certain itinerary information provided by air and sea carriers and any other forms of passenger transportation, including rail, which is or may subsequently be mandated, or is or may be provided on a voluntary basis; and the time and location of the border crossing. Previously, maintenance of this border crossing information was covered by the Treasury Enforcement Communications System (TECS) ``system of records notice.'' See 66 FR 52984, dated October 18, 2001. As part of DHS's ongoing effort to increase transparency regarding the collection of information at the Department, as well as its efforts to specifically review the personally identifiable information maintained on the TECS information technology platform, DHS and CBP have identified different data sets that call for individual notice so as to provide appropriate routine uses, retention, and exemptions to the Privacy Act. This system of records notice does not identify or create any new collection of information, rather, the Department is providing additional notice and transparency with respect to the handling of an existing collection of information, by separately noticing its collection as a distinct system of records.

The Department of Homeland Security is proposing to amend its regulations to exempt portions of a system of records from certain provisions of the Privacy Act. Specifically, the Department proposes to exempt portions of the Border Crossing Information from one or more provisions of the Privacy Act because of criminal, civil, and administrative enforcement requirements. This document is a republication of the Treasury Department exemption regulation (title 31, Code of Federal Regulations, part 1) which previously covered the Border Crossing Information as part of the Treasury Enforcement Communications System (TECS) System of Records Notice.
