System name:
    NGA Threat Mitigation Records

System location:
    Records are maintained at NGA headquarters in Washington, DC metro 
facilities.

Categories of individuals covered by the system:
    Individuals known or appropriately suspected to be or have been 
engaged in conduct constituting, in preparation for, in aid of, or 
related to terrorism (``known or suspected terrorists''), individuals 
who were officially detained during military operations, but not as 
Enemy Prisoners of War, and who have been identified to pose an actual 
or possible threat to national security (hereinafter military 
detainees).

Categories of records in the system:
    Identifying information, such as name, date of birth, place of 
birth, biometrics, photographs, passport and/or drivers' license 
information, and other available identifying particulars used to 
compare the identity of an individual being screened with a known or 
suspected terrorist, including audit records containing this 
information.
    For known or suspected terrorists, in addition to the categories of 
records listed above, references to and/or information from other 
government law enforcement and intelligence databases, or other 
relevant databases that may contain terrorism information.

Purpose(s):
    NGA collects, uses, maintains, and disseminates information to

the risk and/or threat to NGA personnel, property, information and 
facilities posed by persons who have been deemed known or suspected 
terrorists or have a nexus to criminal activity.
    NGA is receiving information relevant for use in authorized 
screening processes to assist in detecting and mitigating domestic and 
international threats to the United States (U.S.) and U.S. interests 
worldwide.

of uses and the purposes for such uses:
    In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C.
