Office of the Secretary June 14, 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of Homeland Security proposes to establish a new system of records notice titled, ``Department of Homeland Security/National Protection and Programs Directorate002 Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards Personnel Surety Program System of Records.'' This new system of records collects information on individuals,facility personnel and unescorted visitorswho have or are seeking access to restricted areas and critical assets at high risk chemical facilities and compares this information to the Terrorist Screening Database, the terrorist watchlist maintained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Terrorist Screening Center. The Department of Homeland Security is issuing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking concurrently with this system of records elsewhere in the Federal Register to exempt portions of the system of records from one or more provisions of the Privacy Act because of criminal, civil, and administrative enforcement requirements. This newly established system of records will be included in the Department of Homeland Security's inventory of record systems.
