following Privacy Act system of records notice, Department of Homeland 
Security/United States Citizenship and Immigration Services--013 E-

Department of Homeland Security system of records notices titled 
Department of Homeland Security/ALL-037 E-Authentication Records System 
of Records (79 FR 46857, August 11, 2014) and Department of Homeland 
Security/United States Citizenship and Immigration Services--011 E-
Verify Program System of Records (79 FR 46852, August 11, 2014). As a 
result of this consolidation, DHS is removing DHS/USCIS-013 from its 
inventory of systems of records.

DATES: These changes will take effect on November 24, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karen L. Neuman (202-343-1717), Chief 
Privacy Officer, Department of Homeland Security, Washington, DC 20528.

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 the system of records notice, Department of Homeland 
Security/United States Citizenship and Immigration Services--013 E-
Verify Self Check (76 FR 9034, February 16, 2011), into two existing 
system of records notices.
    DHS will continue to collect and maintain records regarding E-
Verify Self Check and will rely upon the following system of records 
notices titled DHS/ALL-037 E-Authentication Records System of Records 
(79 FR 46857, August 11, 2014) and DHS/USCIS-011 E-Verify Program 
System of Records (79 FR 46852, August 11, 2014). DHS is not requesting 
comment on this notice because the E-Authentication Records and E-
Verify Program System of Records

[[Page 63635]]

notices were open to comment and provided notice of this consolidation. 
DHS received no comments regarding the consolidation.
    There are six additional routine uses applicable to this system as 
a result of this consolidation. Through the E-Authentication System of 
Records, DHS may share information to relying parties approved by the 
National Information Exchange Federation Trust Framework Provider for 
the purpose of providing federated access to systems when the user has 
been provided with appropriate notice and the opportunity to consent. 
Information may also be shared with international, federal, state and 
local, tribal, private or corporate entities for the purpose of the 
regular exchange of business contact information in order to facilitate 
collaboration for official business.
    By the consolidation of the E-Verify Self Check System of Records 
into the E-Verify Program System of records, the following routine uses 
may apply to E-Verify Self Check: (1) To employers participating in the 
E-Verify program to verify the employment eligibility of their 
employees working in the United States; (2) to the American Association 
of Motor Vehicle Administrators Network and participating Motor Vehicle 
Agencies for the purpose of validating information for a driver's 
license, permit, or identification card issued by the Motor Vehicle 
Agency of states or jurisdictions who have signed a Memorandum of 
Agreement with DHS under the RIDE program; and (3) to the Department of 
Justice (DOJ) to responding to matters within the DOJ's jurisdiction of 
the E-Verify program, especially with respect to discrimination.
    Both the E-Verify and E-Authentication Systems of Records permit 
sharing information with the news media or public, with the approval of 
the Chief Privacy Officer in consultation with counsel, when there 
exists a legitimate public interest in the disclosure of the 
information, when disclosure is necessary to preserve confidence in the 
integrity of DHS, or when disclosure is necessary to demonstrate the 
accountability of DHS's officers, employees, or individuals covered by 
the system, except to the extent the Chief Privacy Officer determines 
that release of the specific information in the context of a particular 
case would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.
    Consolidating and retiring this notice will promote the overall 
streamlining and management of DHS Privacy Act record systems.

    Dated: October 2, 2014.
Karen L. Neuman,
Chief Privacy Officer, Department of Homeland Security.
