Privacy Act of 1974: Implementation of Exemptions; Department of Homeland Security/ALL-030 Use of the Terrorist Screening Database System of Records
The Department of Homeland Security is giving concurrent notice of an updated and reissued system of records pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974 for the ``Department of Homeland Security/ALL-030 Use of the Terrorist Screening Database System of Records'' and this proposed rulemaking. In this proposed rulemaking, the Department proposes 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.
Privacy Act of 1974; Department of Homeland Security/ALL-030 Use of the Terrorist Screening Database System of Records
In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to update and reissue a current Department-wide system of records titled, ``Department of Homeland Security(DHS)/ALL-030 Use of the Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB) System of Records,'' 76 FR 39408, July 6, 2011. This system of records allows the DHS to maintain a synchronized copy of the Department of Justice's (DOJ) Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB), which includes categories of individuals covered by DOJ/FBI-019, ``Terrorist Screening Records Center System,'' 72 FR 77846, Dec. 14, 2011. DHS maintains a synchronized copy to automate and simplify the transmission of information in the Terrorist Screening Database to DHS and its components. With this updated notice, DHS is adding two new consumers, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Automated Targeting System (ATS) and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Fraud Detection and National Security (FDNS) Directorate, to the ``DHS Watchlist Service.'' The DHS Watchlist Service is the technological mechanism used to transmit Terrorist Screening Database information from the Department of Justice to the Department of Homeland Security, and to DHS components thereafter. DHS is also clarifying an existing category of individuals, adding two new categories of individuals, and clarifying the categories of records maintained in this system. Additionally, this notice includes non- substantive changes to simplify the formatting and text of the previously published notice. DHS is also issuing a new notice of proposed rulemaking to cover the exemptions applied to these new categories of individuals covered by this system of records notice. The notice of proposed rulemaking will be published concurrently with this notice. The existing Final Rule for Privacy Act exemptions will continue to apply until the new Final Rule is published. This updated system will be included in DHS's inventory of record systems.
Implementation of OMB Guidance on Drug-Free Workplace Requirements
The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) is removing its regulation implementing the prior government-wide common rule on drug- free workplace requirements for financial assistance, and issuing a new regulation to adopt updated Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance on the topic. This action implements OMB's initiative to streamline and consolidate into one title of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) all Federal regulations on drug-free workplace requirements for financial assistance. These changes constitute an administrative simplification that would make no substantive change in Commerce's policy or procedures for drug-free workplace.
