SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the
Department of Transportation (DOT)/Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) proposes to retire DOT system of records titled, ``Department of
Transportation/Federal Aviation Administration (DOT/FAA) 813 Civil
Aviation Security System of Records.''
This system was originally established to collect and maintain
records on hijacking or attempted hijacking incidents at airports or
aboard civil aviation aircraft, information on K-9 assignments to
airports, K-9 handler evaluations and information necessary to manage
the Federal Air Marshals (FAM).
Following September 11, 2001 Congress passed the Aviation and
Transportation Security Act (ATSA) (Pub. L. 107-71) which established
the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). The ATSA transferred
the TSA from the Department of Transportation to the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS).
The ATSA transferred responsibility for civil aviation security
from the FAA to TSA on February 22, 2002. A Transfer of Function Memo
(October 30, 2003) from the FAA Assistant Administrator, Office of
Security and Hazardous Materials, to the FAA Freedom of Information
Staff and the Director of TSA, Freedom of Information Office,
memorializes the transfer of function. The memo evidences that all
records maintained in accordance with the DOT/FAA 813 Civil Aviation
Security System of Records notice were transferred to the TSA. The FAA
kept only duplicate copies of Civil Aviation Security records that
related to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, but no longer
maintains these copies.
Retiring this FAA system of records notice will have no adverse
impact on individuals because the records and functions were
transferred from the FAA to TSA.
SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:
Department of Transportation/Federal Aviation Administration (DOT/
FAA) 813 Civil Aviation Security System of Records
HISTORY:
A full notice of this system of records, DOT/FAA 813 Civil Aviation
Security System, was last published in the Federal Register on April
11, 2000 (65 FR 19519).

Departmental Chief Privacy Officer.
