Privacy Act of 1974; Department of Homeland Security-024 Facility and Perimeter Access Control and Visitor Management System of Records
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 into a new Department of Homeland Security system of records notice titled, DHS/All024 Facility and Perimeter Access Control and Visitor Management System of Records: Treasury/ CS.081 Dock Passes, October 18, 2001, Justice/INS-014 Security Access Control System, January 22, 2001, and to partially consolidate DHS/OS- 001 Office of Security File System, September 12, 2006, and FEMA/SEC-1 Security Support System, September 7, 1990. Categories of individuals, categories of records, and the routine uses of this legacy system have been reviewed and updated to better reflect the Department's facility and perimeter access control and visitor management record system. Additionally, the Department of Homeland Security is issuing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking concurrent with this system of records elsewhere in the Federal Register. The activities performed by the Department's Facility and Perimeter Access Control and Visitor Management systems often overlap with other security-related activities. Accordingly, data within each of the categories of individuals, categories of records, and routine uses may have similarities with other security-related systems of records, but each system is distinct based on its purpose. Further, this system of records is separate from DHS-OS-2006-047 Personal Identify Verification Management System which supports the administration of the HSPD-12 program that directs the use of a common identification credential for both logical and physical access to federally controlled facilities and information systems while enhancing security, increasing efficiency, identifying and reducing fraud, and protecting personally identifiable information. Records within this system apply only to perimeters and facilities where access is controlled by the Department of Homeland Security. This system of records does not apply to (1) facilities where the Department's components or offices have a presence but where the General Services Administration has an established contract for security services or (2) facilities where Immigration and Custom Enforcement's Federal Protective Service provides oversight on the contract. Exclusion is made to perimeters and facilities secured by the United States Secret Service pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 3056 and 3056A and are not included under this system of records. This consolidated system will be included in the DHS inventory of record systems.

Categories of individuals, categories of records, and the routine uses of these legacy systems have been reviewed and updated to better reflect the Department's personnel security management record system.
