SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Transportation system of 
records notice subject to the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), as 
amended, has been published in the Federal Register and is available 
from the above mentioned address.
System Number:
    DOT/MARAD 31

SYSTEM NAME:
    Mariner Outreach System (MOS).

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION:
    Unclassified, Sensitive.

SYSTEM LOCATION:
    NCCIPS Data Center Loading Dock, Cypress Loop Road, Building 9323, 
Stennis Space Center, MS 39529.

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM OF RECORDS:
    The Mariner Outreach System (MOS) contains information about U.S. 
Coast Guard (USCG) mariners. MOS provides a systematic way to monitor 
the adequacy of our nation's merchant mariner pool and to track and 
maintain contact information and qualifications of mariners. Therefore, 
there is the potential for the following categories of individual's 
information to be covered by this system:
     Data about mariners who hold or previously held a USCG 
credential.

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
    MOS contains the following types of information:
     Information from the Merchant Mariner License and 
Documentation (MMLD) including personal data such as last 4 digits of 
SSN, date of birth (DOB), place of birth (POB).
     Mariners updated contact information, e.g., address, e-
mail(s), and phone number(s).

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:
    National Security Directive 28 (October 5, 1989), Merchant 
Marine Act of 1936; Maritime Security Act of 2003 (Pub. L. 108-136).

PURPOSES:
    MOS is an invaluable tool for MARAD and its partners to make valid 
vessel and human resources projections; identify potential mariner 
shortfalls; allow mariners to provide up-to-date/

[[Page 47852]]

accurate contact information; and to facilitate crewing of vessels 
should a mariner shortage occur.

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES 
OF USERS AND THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:
    The Office of Maritime Workforce Development's routine use of 
information is for resource projection, maintain contact information 
and facilitate filling shortages. The merchant mariners who hold or 
previously held a USCG credential can self-register and update his/her 
own contact information after registration.

DISCLOSURE TO CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCIES:
    None.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, 
AND DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
STORAGE:
    Data is stored in this system on a dedicated server.

RETRIEVABILITY:
    Registered mariners can only view their own personal records by 
user ID, obtained from initial self-registration, and password.
    Authorized administrator at Maritime Workforce Development can 
retrieve data for analysis, resource protection, and facilitation of 
crewing of vessels, as necessary, by last name, first name and last 4-
digits of social security number.

SAFEGUARDS:
    The production environment is located in a secure zone behind a 
firewall, called a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) that enables secure 
connections from the Internet.
    DOT Crisis and Security Management Center (CSMC) monitors all 
traffic within the department looking for any possible attacks. CSMC 
works with the modes during possible attacks. MARAD has Cisco ASA 
devices to monitor events on the system, detect attacks, and provide 
identification of unauthorized use of the system.
    The Stennis Data Center in Mississippi hosting MOS is occupied by 
the Department of Navy contractor personnel and is not open to the 
general public. The Data Center is uniquely constructed. It was 
formerly an ammunition manufacturing facility and as such, its external 
walls are constructed completely of steel reinforced concrete that is 
12 to 48 inches thick. It has no windows. The construction materials as 
well as its location inside of the Stennis Space Center significantly 
reduce its vulnerability to most conventional types of external threats 
i.e. vehicle born improvised explosive devices (VBIEDs), burglary, 
trespassing, and unauthorized entry.
    The facility operates in a secure closed manner. Outside personnel 
do not have unescorted access to the facility. Mail deliveries are 
received by facility personnel who screen all material before being 
brought into the facility. All equipment is delivered and sent through 
a secure loading dock. All equipment is installed either by or under 
the supervision of facility personnel.
    The test and development environments are available only to local 
personnel and selected users connecting via a Virtual Private Network.
    System data is protected by daily backups to Linear Tape Open 
(LTO3) tape. In addition, daily backups of data to a local server hard 
drive, which are kept for a period of 14 days to safeguard the data.

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:
    The files are retained and disposed of according to the MARAD 
Records Schedule, according to the National Archives and Records 
Administration, and DOT policy.

SYSTEM OWNER(S) AND ADDRESS:
    Director, Office of Maritime Workforce Development, Maritime 
Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave., SE., Washington, DC 20590. 202-

    Individuals wishing to know if their records appear in this system 
may make a request in writing to the FOIA/Privacy Act Officer, Maritime 
Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave, SE., W26-499, Washington, DC 
20590. The request must include the requester's name, mailing address, 
telephone number and/or e-mail address, a description and, if possible, 
the location of the records requested, and verification of identity 
(such as, a statement under penalty or perjury that the requester is 
the individual who he or she claims to be).

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES:
    Individuals seeking access to information about them in this system 
should apply to the FOIA/Privacy Act Officer, following the same 
procedure as indicated under ``Notification procedure.'' Mariners can 
log into the system to view their documents.

CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES:
    Individuals seeking to contest the content of information about 
them in this system should apply to the FOIA/Privacy Act Officer, 
following the same procedure as indicated under ``Notification 
procedure.''

RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES:
    Information in MOS is obtained from U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) and 
registered merchant mariners.
    The data from USCG include: (a) MMLD data which contain credentials 
information, e.g., merchant mariners credentials (MMC), merchant 
mariners document (MMD), merchant mariners' standards, training 
certification, and watch keeping (STCW), merchant mariners' license, 
certificate of registry (COR); (b) Personal info: Name (e.g., first 
name, middle name, last name, e-mail addresses, resident address, 
citizenship, personal contact information); (c) merchant mariners' sea 
service records.
    Registered merchant mariners data source: During self-registration, 
the merchant mariner enters into MOS his/her last 4 digits of SSN, 
first name, last name, place of birth, date of birth, and the password 
of his/her choice. A registered mariner can use the user id and 
password to update his/her own information later on.
