Office of the Secretary October 28, 2008 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974 and as part of the Department of Homeland Security's ongoing effort to review and update legacy system of record notices, the Department of Homeland Security proposes to consolidate nine legacy record systems: DOT/CG 508 Claims and Litigation, Treasury/CS.045 Claims Act File, Treasury/CS.046 Claims Case File, Treasury/CS.144 Mail Protest File, Treasury/CS.148 Military Personnel and Civilian Employees' Claims Act File, Treasury/CS.232 Tort Claims Act File, Treasury/CS.234 Tort Claims Act File, Treasury/CS.268 Military Personnel and Civilian Employees' Claim Act File, and FEMA/GC- 1 Claims (litigation) into one Department of Homeland Security-wide system of records. The Department of Homeland Security also proposes to partially consolidate one legacy record system: Treasury/USSS.001 Administrative Information System, August 28, 2001, into this Department-wide system of records. This system will allow the Department of Homeland Security to respond to, and process, claims submitted to, or by, the Department of Homeland Security, including requests for waivers of claims. Categories of individuals, categories of records, and the routine uses of these legacy system of records notices have been consolidated and updated to better reflect the Department's claims record systems. Additionally, DHS is issuing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) concurrent with this SORN elsewhere in the Federal Register. The exemptions for the legacy system of records notices will continue to be applicable until the final rule for this SORN has been completed. This consolidated system, titled Claims Records, will be included in the Department's inventory of record systems.
