Privacy Act of 1974; Department of Homeland Security Transportation Security Administration-DHS/TSA-019 Secure Flight Records System of Records
Document Number: 2013-21980
Type: Notice
Date: 2013-09-10
Agency: Department of Homeland Security, Office of the Secretary
In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of Homeland Security proposes to update and reissue a current Department of Homeland Security system of records titled, ``Department of Homeland Security/Transportation Security AdministrationDHS/TSA-019 Secure Flight Records System of Records.'' This system of records allows the Department of Homeland Security/Transportation Security Administration to collect and maintain records on aviation passengers and certain non- travelers to screen such individuals, before they access airport sterile areas or board aircraft, in order to identify and prevent a threat to aviation security or the lives of passengers and others. TSA is reissuing this system of records to update the categories of records to include whether a passenger will receive expedited, standard, or enhanced screening. The primary impact of this change will be the identification of additional passengers who are eligible for expedited screening at participating airport security checkpoints. This updated system will be included in the Department of Homeland Security's inventory of system of records.

This system of records allows the Department of Homeland Security/ Transportation Security Administration to collect and maintain records on individuals who voluntarily submit information to the Transportation Security Administration for use by the agency to perform a security threat assessment. The security threat assessment will be used to identify persons who pose a low risk to transportation security and therefore may be eligible for expedited screening at participating U.S. airport security checkpoints. Additionally, the Department of Homeland Security is issuing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking elsewhere in the Federal Register to exempt some records from this system of records from certain provisions of the Privacy Act. This newly established system will be included in the Department of Homeland Security's inventory of systems of records.
