SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) proposes to establish a new DHS system of records
titled, ``DHS/CBP-024 CBP Intelligence Records System (CIRS) System of
Records.''
The CBP Intelligence Records System (CIRS) system of records is
owned by CBP's Office of Intelligence (OI). CIRS contains information
collected by CBP to support CBP's law enforcement intelligence mission.
This information includes raw intelligence information collected by
CBP's OI, public source information, and information initially
collected by CBP pursuant to its immigration and customs authorities.
This information is analyzed and incorporated into intelligence
products. CBP currently uses the Analytical Framework for Intelligence
(AFI) and the Intelligence Reporting System (IRS) information
technology (IT) systems to facilitate the development of finished
intelligence products. These products are disseminated to various
stakeholders including CBP executive management, CBP operational units,
various government agencies, and the Intelligence Community (IC).
CIRS is the exclusive CBP System of Records Notice for finished
intelligence products and any raw intelligence information, public
source information, or other information collected by CBP for an
intelligence purpose that is not subject to an existing DHS SORN.
Information collected by CBP for an intelligence purpose that is not
covered by an existing DHS SORN and is not incorporated into a finished
intelligence product is retained and disseminated in accordance with
this SORN. In addition, finished intelligence products, and the
information contained in those products, regardless of the original
source system of that information, is retained and disseminated in
accordance with this SORN. CIRS records were previously covered by the
Automated Targeting System SORN and the Analytical Framework for
Intelligence System SORN.
As part of the intelligence process, CBP investigators and analysts
must review large amounts of data to identify and understand
relationships between individuals, entities, threats, and events to
generate law enforcement intelligence products that provide CBP
operational units with actionable information for law enforcement
purposes. If performed manually, this process can involve hours of
analysis of voluminous data. To automate and expedite this process, CBP
uses several IT systems to allow for the efficient research and
analysis of data from a variety of sources. Existing IT systems that
CBP uses to analyze and produce intelligence information include AFI
and IRS.
AFI is specifically designed to make the intelligence research and
analysis process more efficient by allowing searches of a broad range
of data through a single interface. AFI can also identify links
(relationships) between individuals or entities based on commonalities,
such as identification numbers, addresses, or other information. These
commonalities in and of themselves are not suspicious, but in the
context of additional information they sometimes help DHS agents and
analysts to identify potentially criminal activity and identify other
suspicious activities. These commonalities can also form the basis for
a DHS-generated intelligence product that may lead to further
investigation or other appropriate follow-up action by CBP, DHS, or
other federal, state, or local agencies. DHS/CBP has published a
Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) for AFI, which is available on
www.dhs.gov/privacy. A PIA for IRS is forthcoming.
Individuals may request information about records pertaining to
themselves stored in CIRS as outlined in the ``Notification Procedure''
section below. CBP reserves the right to exempt various records from
release pursuant to exemptions 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2), (k)(1) and (k)(2)
of the Privacy Act.
Consistent with DHS's information sharing mission, information
stored in the DHS/CBP-024 CIRS 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/
CBP may share information with appropriate federal, state, local,
tribal, territorial, foreign, or international government agencies
consistent with the routine uses set forth in this SORN.
Additionally, DHS is issuing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to
exempt this system of records from certain provisions of the Privacy
Act elsewhere in the Federal Register. This newly established system
will be included in DHS's inventory of record systems.

II. Privacy Act

The Privacy Act embodies fair information practice 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 U.S. citizens and lawful
permanent residents. Additionally, and similarly, the Judicial Redress
Act (JRA) provides a statutory right to covered persons to make
requests for access and amendment to covered records, as defined by the
JRA, along with judicial review for denials of such requests. In
addition, the JRA prohibits disclosures of covered records, except as
otherwise permitted by the Privacy Act.
Below is the description of the DHS/CBP-024 Intelligence Records
System (CIRS) System of Records.
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), DHS has provided a report of
this system of records to the Office of Management and Budget and to
Congress.
SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:
Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP)-024 CBP Intelligence Records System (CIRS) System of
Records.

facilitate the development of finished intelligence products and
maintain a repository of intelligence information records. Records may
also be stored on paper within the Office of Intelligence (OI) or in
CBP field offices.

Policies and Practices for Storage of Records:
DHS/CBP stores records in this system electronically or on paper in
secure facilities in a locked drawer behind a locked door. The records
may be stored on magnetic disc, tape, and digital media.

Policies and Practices for Retrieval of Records:
DHS/CBP may retrieve records by personal identifiers such as but
not limited to name, alien registration number, phone number, address,
Social Security number, or passport number. DHS/CBP may retrieve
records by non-personal information such as transaction date, entity/
institution name, description of goods, value of transactions, and
other information.

Policies and Practices for Retention and Disposal of Records:
To the extent that CBP accesses and incorporates information from
other DHS systems of records as sources of information for finished
intelligence products, CBP will abide by the safeguards, retention
schedules, and dissemination requirements of those underlying source
systems of record. For additional information, please see the Privacy
Impact Assessment for the Analytical Framework for Intelligence and the
forthcoming Privacy Impact Assessment for the Intelligence Reporting
System.
Consistent with the DHS N1-563-07-016 records schedule, CBP will
retain information consistent with the same retention requirements of
the DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis:
1. Dissemination Files and Lists: CBP will retain finished and
current intelligence report information distributed to support the
Intelligence Community, DHS Components, and federal, state, local,
tribal, and foreign Governments and includes contact information for
the distribution of finished and current intelligence reports for two
(2) years.
2. Raw Reporting Files: CBP will retain raw, unevaluated
information on threat reporting originating from operational data and
supporting documentation that are not covered by an existing DHS system
of records for thirty (30) years.
3. Finished Intelligence Case Files: CBP will retain finished
intelligence and associated background material for products such as
Warning Products identifying imminent homeland security threats,
Assessments providing intelligence analysis on specific topics,
executive products providing intelligence reporting to senior
leadership, intelligence summaries about current intelligence events,
and periodic reports containing intelligence awareness information for
specific region, sector, or subject/area of interest as permanent
records and will transfer the records to the NARA after twenty (20)
years.
4. Requests for Information/Data Calls: CBP will retain requests
for information and corresponding research, responses, and supporting
documentation for ten (10) years.

Administrative, Technical, and Physical Safeguards:
DHS/CBP safeguards records in this system according to applicable
rules and policies, including all applicable DHS automated systems
security and access policies. DHS/CBP has imposed strict controls to
minimize the risk of

[[Page 44203]]

compromising the information that is being stored. Access to the
computer system containing the records in this system is limited to
those individuals who have a need to know the information for the
performance of their official duties and who have appropriate
clearances or permissions.

Record Access Procedures:
The Secretary of Homeland Security has exempted this system from
the notification, access, and amendment procedures of the Privacy Act,
and the Judicial Redress Act if applicable, because it is a law
enforcement system. However, DHS/CBP will consider individual requests
to determine whether or not information may be released. Thus,
individuals seeking access to and notification of any record contained
in this system of records, or seeking to contest its content, may
submit a request in writing to the Chief Privacy Officer and CBP
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Officer, whose contact information
can be found at http://www.dhs.gov/foia under ``Contacts Information.''
If an individual believes more than one component maintains Privacy Act
records concerning him or her, the individual may submit the request to
the Chief Privacy Officer and Chief FOIA Officer, Department of
Homeland Security, Washington, DC 20528. Even if neither the Privacy
Act nor the Judicial Redress Act provide a right of access, certain
records about you may be available under the Freedom of Information
Act.
When seeking records about yourself from this system of records or
any other Departmental system of records, your request must conform
with the Privacy Act regulations set forth in 6 CFR part 5. You must
first verify your identity, meaning that you must provide your full
name, current address, and date and place of birth. You must sign your
request, and your signature must either be notarized or submitted under
28 U.S.C. 1746, a law that permits statements to be made under penalty
of perjury as a substitute for notarization. While no specific form is
required, you may obtain forms for this purpose from the Chief Privacy
Officer and Chief FOIA Officer, http://www.dhs.gov/foia or (866) 431-
0486. In addition, you should:
Explain why you believe the Department would have
information on you;
Identify which component(s) of the Department you believe
may have the information about you;
Specify when you believe the records would have been
created; and
Provide any other information that will help the FOIA
staff determine which DHS component agency may have responsive records;
If your request is seeking records pertaining to another living
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.

Contesting Record Procedures:
For records covered by the Privacy Act or covered JRA records, see
``Record Access Procedures'' above. For records not covered by the
Privacy Act or JRA, individuals may submit an inquiry to the DHS
Traveler Redress Inquiry Program (DHS TRIP) at https://www.dhs.gov/dhs-trip or the CBP INFO CENTER at www.help.cbp.gov or (877) 227-5511
