[[Page 22521]]

Federal Register notice of the existence and character of records 
maintained by the agency (5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4)). This system allows 
CSOSA to collect and maintain records on individuals under supervision 
who pose a very low level of risk to the community and allows those 
individuals to provide the information needed to fulfill his/her 
reporting requirement through the use of a self-service technology. 
This system has been in operation since April 2008 without incident. In 
the meantime, appropriate measures to ensure confidentiality, integrity 
and access controls have been maintained.

DATES: Submit written comments on or before May 16, 2013. This new 
system will be effective May 16, 2013 unless comments are received that 
would result in a contrary determination.

ADDRESSES: You may submit written comments, identified by ``Kiosk 
System, CSOSA-21'' to Rorey Smith, Deputy General Counsel and Chief 
Privacy Officer, Office of General Counsel, Court Services and Offender 
Supervision Agency, 633 Indiana Avenue NW., Room 1380, Washington, DC, 
20004, or to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rorey Smith, (202) 220-5797, Office of 
General Counsel, Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency, 
Washington, DC 20004.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 
5 U.S.C. 552a, CSOSA proposes to establish a new system of records 
titled, ``Kiosk System.'' This system of records is being established 
to allow individuals under supervision who pose a very low level of 
risk to the community to use the self-service technology to provide the 
information needed to fulfill his/her reporting requirement and to 
allow the Community Supervision Officer to meet the documented contact 
and supervision standards. This is the same information that would be 
confirmed/verified if the individual were meeting with his/her 
Community Supervision Officer in person.
    In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), CSOSA has provided a report of 
this system of records to the Office of Management and Budget and to 
Congress.
SYSTEM OF RECORDS:
    Kiosk System--CSOSA-21

SYSTEM NAME:
    Kiosk System.

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION:
    Unclassified.

SYSTEM LOCATION:
    The Kiosk System application and database records are maintained at 
CSOSA, Office of Information Technology, 633 Indiana Avenue NW., 7th 
Floor, Washington, DC 20004.

CATERGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM:
    Individuals covered by the Kiosk System are individuals under 
supervision who are approved for reporting through the kiosk self-
service technology. In addition, there is information on CSOSA staff 
members who are authorized to access and use the system.

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
    The system contains the following records: individual's name; date 
of birth; Identification Numbers: Police Department Identification 
(PDID), CSOSA Number, Probationer Identification Number (PIN); date 
when the offender's supervision expires; addresses and phone numbers 
(home, employment, school, emergency contact); email addresses; 
physical description and characteristics (eye color, hair color, 
ethnicity, race, height, weight; a hand biometric scan; selection to 
report for the use of illegal substances testing (random selection 
process); and information on any rearrests.
    The system also contains the following records on CSOSA staff 
members: logon information (username); assigned role/permission level 
in the kiosk system; individual's name; and CSOSA phone number, email, 
title, supervisor, and office location.

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:
    Information maintained in the Kiosk System is collected pursuant to 
the National Capital Revitalization and Self-Government Improvement Act 
of 1997 (the Act), Public Law 105-33, DC Official Code Sec.  24-133. 
The Act grants CSOSA the authority to supervise District of Columbia 
individuals on probation, parole, and supervised release.

PURPOSE(S):
    The purpose of the Kiosk System is to allow individuals under 
supervision who pose a very low level of risk to the community to use 
self-service technology to provide the information needed to fulfill 
his/her reporting requirement to CSOSA. The information confirmed/
provided by the individual through the kiosk self-service technology 
allows the Community Supervision Officer to complete the required 
verifications and meet the documented contact and supervision 
standards.
    In addition, the information on the CSOSA staff members is used to 
verify and validate that appropriate individuals are given access to 
the kiosk system, and to follow up as needed should there be issues 
with the accounts, access to the system, etc.

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES 
OF USERS AND THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:
    CSOSA is not establishing routine uses for the Kiosk System at this 
time; however, CSOSA will make other disclosures generally permitted 
under 5 U.S.C. 552a(b) of the Privacy Act.

DISCLOSURE TO CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCIES:
    None.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, RETREIVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, 
AND DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
STORAGE:
    Records in this system are stored electronically or on paper in 
secure facilities behind a locked door. The records may be stored on 
magnetic disc, tape, other digital media, and/or on paper.

RETREIVABILITY:
    Offenders who are approved to report through the kiosk self-service 
technology can retrieve their information through the use of the 
Probationer Identification Number (PIN), in conjunction with the hand 
biometric scan. This combination allows the offender to properly 
identify him or herself to the kiosk self-service technology.
    CSOSA staff members are able to search and retrieve the information 
by a number of personal identifiers: last name, first name, date of 
birth, Police Department Identification (PDID), PIN, or CSOSA Number.

SAFEGUARDS:
    Records in this system are safeguarded in accordance with 
application laws, rules and policies, including federal and all 
applicable CSOSA automated systems security and access policies. Strict 
controls have been imposed to minimize the risk of compromising the 
information that is being stored. Access to the computer system 
containing the records in this system is limited to those offenders who 
are eligible, approved and enrolled for reporting through the kiosk 
self-service technology and to CSOSA staff members with appropriate 
clearances or permissions who have a need to know the information or to 
access to the system for the performance of their official duties.

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES:
    See ``Notification Procedure'' above.

CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES:
    See ``Notification Procedure'' above.

RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES:
    The information in the Kiosk System comes from one of four sources: 
(1) The individual under supervision; (2) from another CSOSA IT system, 
when an individual is enrolled for kiosk reporting and specific 
existing data on the individual is pulled into the system from a 
staging database/staging tables associated with CSOSA's case management 
system (this provides the base demographic data needed by staff to 
properly identify the offender, and provides the initial residence, 
employment, school and emergency contact information that the offender 
will review, confirm and maintain via reporting through the kiosk self-
service technology); (3) information generated by the Kiosk System; and 
(4) information entered by CSOSA staff, when the information entered by 
staff includes the capture of the hand biometric (offender's right 
hand), verification of the data in the system, disabling an offender 
from reporting through the kiosk self-service technology (at the end of 
supervision, or due to non-compliance), and re-enabling and offender to 
report through the kiosk self-service technology.

EXEMPTIONS CLAIMED FOR THE SYSTEM:
    None.
