SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the 
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to update and reissue a 
current DHS system of records titled, ``DHS/ALL-010 Asset Management 
Records System of Records.''
    This system allows DHS to collect and maintain records of all 
Department-owned or controlled property that has been issued to DHS 
employees and contractors. DHS is updating this System of Records 
(SORN) to provide notice that asset management activities for three DHS 
Components: Domestic and Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO), 
Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and the United States 
Coast Guard (USCG), are transferring their financial management systems 
to the Department of Interior's (DOI) Oracle Federal Financials (OFF) 
Virtual

[[Page 58281]]

Environment. OFF is an application owned by DOI that provides federal 
agencies with a web-based application that contains customizable 
financial management modules. When combined, the modules provide a 
comprehensive financial software package that supports budgeting, 
purchasing, federal procurement, accounts payable, fixed assets, 
general ledger, inventory, accounts receivable, reimbursement, 
reporting, and collection functions. Although DOI will host DHS 
information, DHS will retain control over its data. Individuals should 
request DHS records resident on the DOI system through DHS and DHS will 
review and if approve (as appropriate) all requests.
    DHS is updating the category of records to replace Social Security 
number with Employee ID number and remove ``outstanding debts related 
to said property.'' After surveying asset managers throughout the 
Department, DHS confirmed that Social Security numbers are not used for 
tracking Departmental assets. Some Components, however, use an Employee 
ID number that is not the Social Security number. Outstanding debts 
related to DHS assets are more appropriately covered under the existing 
DHS/ALL-008 Accounts Receivable System of Records (73 FR 61885, October 
17, 2008). DHS is also publishing an update the DHS/ALL-008 concurrent 
with this SORN. DHS is updating the system location to provide notice 
that DHS information will be maintained at DOI.
    DHS is adding a new routine use I to permit DHS to share records 
with the Merit Systems Protection Board, arbitrators, the Federal 
Labors Relations Authority, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and 
other parties responsible for the administration of the Federal Labor-
Management Program, to align with other DHS SORNs. DHS is also updating 
and renumbering routine use J (formerly routine use I), which will 
allow DHS to share information with federal agencies that host shared 
financial services, such as DOI's web-based financial management 
application. DHS is updating the record source categories to remove 
``employee locator documentation'' because this is not a source of 
information for the categories of individuals and records in this 
system of records. Additionally, this notice includes non-substantive 
changes to simplify the formatting and text of the previously published 
notice.
    Consistent with DHS's information sharing mission, information 
stored in the DHS/ALL-010 Asset Management Records system of records 
may be shared with other DHS Components that have a need to know the 
information to carry out their national security, law enforcement, 
immigration, intelligence, or other homeland security functions. In 
addition, DHS may share information with appropriate federal, state, 
local, tribal, territorial, foreign, and international government 
agencies, members of the public, and other entities consistent with the 
routine uses set forth in this system of records notice.
    This updated system will be included in DHS's inventory of record 
systems.

II. Privacy Act

    The Privacy Act embodies fair information principles in a statutory 
framework governing the means by which Federal Government agencies 
collect, maintain, use, and disseminate individuals' records. The 
Privacy Act applies to information that is maintained in a ``system of 
records.'' A ``system of records'' is a group of any records under the 
control of an agency from which information is retrieved by the name of 
an individual or by some identifying number, symbol, or other 
identifying particular assigned to the individual. In the Privacy Act, 
an individual is defined to encompass United States citizens and legal 
permanent residents. As a matter of policy, DHS extends administrative 
Privacy Act protections to all individuals when systems of records 
maintain information on U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and 
visitors. Individuals may request access to their own records that are 
maintained in a system of records in the possession or under the 
control of DHS by complying with DHS Privacy Act regulations, 6 CFR 
part 5.
    The Privacy Act requires that each agency publish in the Federal 
Register a description denoting the type and character of each system 
of records in order to make agency recordkeeping practices transparent, 
to notify individuals about the use of their records, and to assist the 
individual to more easily find files within the agency. Below is a 
description of the DHS/ALL-010 Asset Management Records System of 
Records.
    In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), DHS has provided a report of 
this revised system of records to the Office of Management and Budget 
and to Congress.

Component offices of DHS, in both Washington, DC and field locations. 
DHS also maintains records in the Department of Interior's (DOI) Oracle 
Federal Financials (OFF) Virtual Environment in Reston, VA and Denver, 
CO.

Categories of individuals covered by the system:
    Categories of individuals covered by this system include all 
current and former DHS employees and contractors assigned government-
owned assets (e.g., laptop computers, communication equipment,

     Property management records, which include information on 
government-owned property (e.g., laptop computers, communication 
equipment, firearms, and other assets) in the personal custody of the 
individuals covered by this system and used in the performance of their 
official duties.

Authority for maintenance of the system:
    5 U.S.C. 301; the Federal Records Act, 44 U.S.C. 3101; 40 U.S.C.

property that has been issued to current and former DHS employees and 
contractors.

Routine uses of records maintained in the system, including categories 
of users and the purposes of such uses:
    In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 
552a(b) of the Privacy Act, all or a portion of the records of 
information contained in this system may be disclosed outside DHS as a 
routine use pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) as follows:

inspections being conducted under the authority of 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 
2906.
    D. To an agency or organization for the purpose of performing audit 
or oversight operations as authorized by law, but only such information 
as is necessary and relevant to such audit or oversight function.
    E. To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when:
    1. DHS suspects or has confirmed that the security or 
confidentiality of information in the system of records has been 
compromised;
    2. DHS has determined that as a result of the suspected or 
confirmed compromise, there is a risk of identity theft or fraud, harm 
to economic or property interests, harm to an individual, or harm to 
the security or integrity of this system or other systems or programs 
(whether maintained by DHS or another agency or entity) or harm to the 
individual who relies upon the compromised information; and
    3. The disclosure made to such agencies, entities, and persons is 
reasonably necessary to assist in connection with DHS's efforts to 
respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, 
or remedy such harm.
    F. To contractors and their agents, grantees, experts, consultants, 
and others performing or working on a contract, service, grant, 
cooperative agreement, or other assignment for DHS, when necessary to 
accomplish an agency function related to this system of records. 
Individuals provided information under this routine use are subject to 
the same Privacy Act requirements and limitations on disclosure as are 
applicable to DHS officers and employees.
    G. To an appropriate federal, state, tribal, local, international, 
or foreign law enforcement agency or other appropriate authority 
charged with investigating or prosecuting a violation or enforcing or 
implementing a law, rule, regulation, or order, when a record, either 
on its face or in conjunction with other information, indicates a 
violation or potential violation of law, which includes criminal, 
civil, or regulatory violations and such disclosure is proper and 
consistent with the official duties of the person making the 
disclosure.

Management Program for the purpose of processing any corrective 
actions, or grievances, or conducting administrative hearings or 
appeals, or if needed in the performance of other authorized duties.
    J. To federal agencies that provide financial management services 
for DHS Components under a cross-servicing agreement for purposes such 
as budgeting, purchasing, procurement, reimbursement, asset management, 
reporting, and collection functions.
    K. To the news media and the public, with the approval of the Chief 
Privacy Officer in consultation with counsel, when there exists a 
legitimate public interest in the disclosure of the information, when 
disclosure is necessary to preserve confidence in the integrity of DHS, 
when disclosure is necessary to demonstrate the accountability of DHS's 
officers, employees, or individuals covered by the system, except to 
the extent the Chief Privacy Officer determines that release of the 
specific information in the context of a particular case would 
constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.

Disclosure to consumer reporting agencies:
    None.

Policies and practices for storing, retrieving, accessing, retaining,

individual, you must include a statement from that individual 
certifying his/her agreement for you to access his/her records.
    Without the above information, the Component(s) may not be able to 
conduct an effective search, and your request may be denied due to lack 
of specificity or lack of compliance with applicable regulations.

Record access procedures:
