Privacy Act of 1974; Department of Homeland Security/United States Customs and Border Protection Advanced Passenger Information System Systems of Records

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/United States Customs and Border Protection-005 Advanced Passenger Information System Systems of Records.'' This system of records allows the Department of Homeland Security/United States Customs and Border Protection to collect and maintain records on certain biographical information on all passengers and crew members who arrive in, depart from, or transit through (and crew that fly over) the United States on a covered air or vessel carrier, and, in the case of crew members, those who continue domestically on a foreign air or vessel carrier, to additionally encompass private aircraft, rail, and bus travel. This system of records notice has been updated to include changes to security classification, system location, purpose(s), storage, retention and disposal, routine uses, and notification procedure. Additionally, this notice includes non-substantive changes to simplify the formatting and text of the previously published notice. This updated system will be included in the Department of Homeland Security's inventory of record systems, located on the Department of Homeland Security Web site at http://www.dhs.gov/system-records- notices-sorns.
