SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of 
Homeland Security is giving notice that it proposes to consolidate one 
Privacy Act system of records notice, Justice/INS-024 FD-258 
Fingerprint Tracking System, July 31, 2000, into the existing U.S. 
Citizenship and Immigration Services system of records notice titled 
DHS-USCIS-002 U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Background 
Check Service, January 5, 2007.

DATES: Effective Date: January 12, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Hugo Teufel III, Chief Privacy 
Officer, Department of Homeland Security, Washington, DC 20528, by 
telephone (703) 235-0780 or facsimile 1-866-466-5370.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy 
Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, and as part of its ongoing integration and 
management efforts, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is 
consolidating one U.S. Citizenship and Immigrations Services (USCIS) 
system of records notice titled, Justice/INS-024 FD-258 Fingerprint 
Tracking System (65 FR 46741 July 31, 2000) into the existing U.S. 
Citizenship and Immigration Services system of records notice titled 
DHS-USCIS-002 U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Background 
Check Service, (72 FR 31082 January 5, 2007).
    Justice/INS-024 FD-258 Fingerprint Tracking System was originally 
established to determine the status of pending fingerprint submissions 
to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the results of the FBI 
check, and to account for and control the receipt and processing of 
fingerprints submitted to the FBI for a criminal background check.
    Eliminating this system of records notice will have no adverse 
impact on individuals, but will promote the overall streamlining and 
management of DHS Privacy Act record systems.

    Dated: December 2, 2008.
Hugo Teufel III,
Chief Privacy Officer, Department of Homeland Security.
