Office of the Secretary May 19, 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of Homeland Security proposes to establish a new Department of Homeland Security system of records notice titled, ``Department of Homeland Security/U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services011 E-Verify Program System of Records.'' The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services E-Verify Program allows employers to check citizenship status and verify employment eligibility of newly hired employees. Previously, these records were covered under Department of Homeland Security/U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services004 Verification Information System of Records, December 11, 2008, along with records from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) Program. In order to provide clearer transparency and enable public understanding, the Department is publishing two separate systems of records for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services E-Verify and SAVE Programs. This newly established system will be included in the Department of Homeland Security's inventory of record systems. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services SAVE Program system of records notice can be found elsewhere in the Federal Register.

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974 the Department of Homeland Security proposes to update and reissue the Department of Homeland Security Transportation Security Administration002 Transportation Security Threat Assessment System of Records, November 8, 2005, to reflect necessary programmatic changes. As a result of the biennial review of this system, modifications are being made to the system of records' categories of individuals, categories of records, routine uses, data retention and disposal, and notification procedures. The Department of Homeland Security Transportation Security Administration002 Transportation Security Threat Assessment System System of Records contains records related to security threat assessments, employment investigations, and evaluations Transportation Security Administration conducts on certain individuals for security purposes. For example, individuals who apply for a Transportation Worker Identification Credential or a Hazardous Materials Endorsement must undergo a security threat assessment and records associated with the assessment are covered by this system.
