Under 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2), the head of any agency may exempt any system of records within the agency from certain provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974, if the agency or component that maintains the system performs as its principal function any activities pertaining to the enforcement of criminal laws. The Inspector General Act of 1978, Pub. L. 95-462, mandates the Inspector General to recommend policies for, and to conduct, supervise and coordinate activities in the Department and between the Department and other Federal, State and local government agencies with respect to all matters relating to the prevention and detection of fraud in programs and operations administered or financed by the Department, and to the identification and prosecution of participants in such fraud. Under the Act, whenever the Inspector General has reasonable grounds to believe there has been a violation of Federal criminal law, the Inspector General must report the matter expeditiously to the Attorney General. In addition to these principal functions pertaining to the enforcement of criminal laws, the Inspector General may receive and investigate complaints on information from various sources concerning the possible existence of activities constituting violations of law, rules or regulations, or mismanagement, gross waste of funds, abuses of authority or substantial and specific danger to the public health and safety. The provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 from which exemptions are claimed under 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) are as follows: 5 U.S.C. 552a(c) (3) and (4); 5 U.S.C. 552a(d); 5 U.S.C. 552a(e) (1), (2) and (3); 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) (G), (H), and (I); 5 U.S.C. 552a(e) (5) and (8); 5 U.S.C. 552a(f); 5 U.S.C. 552a(g).

To the extent that the exemption under 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) is held to be invalid, then the exemptions under 5 U.S.C. 552a (k)(1), (k)(2), and (k)(5) are claimed for all material which meets the criteria of these three subsections.

Provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 from which exemptions are claimed under 5 U.S.C. 552a (k)(1), (k)(2) and (k)(5) are as follows: 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3); 5 U.S.C. 552a(d); 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(1); 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) (G), (H), and (I); 5 U.S.C. 552a(f).

Reasons for exemptions: In general, the exemption of this information and material is necessary in order to accomplish the law enforcement function of the Office of Inspector General, to prevent disclosure of classified information as required by Executive Order 12065, to prevent subjects of investigations from frustrating the investigatory process, to prevent the disclosure of investigative techniques, to fulfill commitments made to protect the confidentiality of sources, to maintain access to sources of information, and to avoid endangering these sources and law enforcement personnel. Detailed reasons follow: Reasons for exemptions under 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) and (k)(2);

(1) 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3) requires that upon request, an agency must give an individual named in a record an accounting which reflects the disclosure of the record to other persons or agencies. This accounting must state the date, nature and purpose of each disclosure of the record and the name and address of the recipient. The application of this provision would alert subjects of an investigation to the existence of the investigation and that such persons are subjects of that investigation. Since release of such information to subjects of an investigation would provide the subjects with significant information concerning the nature of the investigation, it could result in the alerting or destruction of documentary evidence, improper influencing of witnesses, and other activities that could impede or compromise the investigation.

(2) 5 U.S.C. 552a (c)(4), (d), (e)(4) (G) and (H), (f) and (g) relate to an individual's right to be notified of the existence of records pertaining to such individual; requirements for identifying an individual who requests access to records; the agency procedures relating to access to records and the contest of information contained in such records; and the civil remedies available to the individual in the event of adverse determinations by an agency concerning access to or amendment of information contained in records systems. This system is exempt from the foregoing provisions for the following reasons: To notify an individual at the individual's request of the existence of records in an investigative file pertaining to such individual, or to grant access to an investigative file could interfere with investigative and enforcement proceedings, deprive co-defendants of a right to a fair trial or other impartial adjudication, constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy of others, disclose the identity or confidential sources, reveal confidential information supplied by these sources and disclose investigative techniques and procedures.

(3) 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4)(I) requires the publication of the categories of sources of records in each system of records. The application of this provision could disclose investigative techniques and procedures and cause sources to refrain from giving such information because of fear or reprisal, or fear of breach of promises of anonymity and confidentiality. This would compromise the ability to conduct investigations, and to identify, detect, and apprehend violators.

(4) 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(I) requires each agency to maintain in its records only such information about an individual that is relevant and necessary to accomplish a purpose of the agency required by statute or Executive Order. An exemption from the foregoing is needed:

a. Because it is not possible to detect relevance or necessity of specific information in the early stages of a criminal or other investigation.

b. Relevance and necessity are questions of judgment and timing. What appears relevant and necessary when collected may ultimately be determined to be unnecessary. It is only after the information is evaluated that the relevance and necessity of such information can be established.

c. In any investigation the Inspector General may obtain information concerning the violations of laws other than those within the scope of his jurisdiction. In the interest of effective law enforcement, the Inspector General should retain this information as it may aid in establishing patterns of criminal activity, and provide leads for those law enforcement agencies charged with enforcing other segments of criminal or civil law.

d. In interviewing persons, or obtaining other forms of evidence during an investigation, information may be supplied to the investigator which related to matters incidental to the main purpose of the investigation but which may relate to matters under the investigative jurisdiction of another agency. Such information cannot readily be segregated.

(5) 5 U.S.C. 552(e)(2) requires an agency to collect information to the greatest extent practicable directly from the subject individual when the information may result in adverse determinations about an individual's rights, benefits, and privilege under Federal programs. The application of the provision would impair investigations of illegal acts, violations of the rules of conduct, merit system and any other misconduct of the following reasons:

a. In certain instances the subject of an investigation cannot be required to supply information to investigators. In those instances, information relating to a subject's illegal acts, violations of rules of conduct, or any other misconduct, etc., must be obtained from other sources.

b. Most information collected about an individual under investigation is obtained from third parties such as witnesses and informers. It is not feasible to rely upon the subject of the investigation as a source for information regarding his activities.

c. The subject of an investigation will be alerted to the existence of an investigation if any attempt is made to obtain information from subject. This could afford the individual the opportunity to conceal any criminal activities to avoid apprehension.

d. In any investigation, it is necessary to obtain evidence from a variety of sources other than the subject of the investigation in order to verify the evidence necessary for successful litigation.

(6) 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(e)(3) requires that an agency must inform the subject of an investigation who is asked to supply information of:

a. The authority under which the information is sought and whether disclosure of the information is mandatory or voluntary,

b. The purposes for which the information is intended to be used,

c. The routine uses which may be made of the information, and

d. The effects on the subject, if any, of not providing the requested information. The reasons for exempting this system of records from the foregoing provision are as follows:

(i) The disclosure to the subject of the investigation as stated in (b) above would provide the subject with substantial information relating to the nature of the investigation and could impede or compromise the investigation.

(ii) If the subject were informed of the information required by this provision, it could seriously interfere with undercover activities requiring disclosure of undercover agents' identity and impairing their safety, as well as imparing the successful conclusion of the investigation.

(iii) Individuals may be contracted during preliminary information-gathering in investigations before any individual is identified as the subject of an investigation. Informing the individual of the matters required by this provision would hinder or adversely affect any present or subsequent investigations.

(7) 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(5) requires that records be maintained with such accuracy, relevance, timeliness, and completeness as is reasonably necessary to assure fairness to the individual in making any determination about an individual. Since the law defines "maintain" to include the collection of information complying with this provision would prevent the collection of any data not shown to be accurate, relevant, timely, and complete at the moment of its collection. In gathering information during the course of an investigation it is not possible to determine this prior to collection of the information. Facts are first gathered and then placed into a logical order which objectively proves or disproves criminal behavior on the part of the suspect. Material which may seem unrelated, irrelevant, incomplete, untimely, etc., may take on added meaning as an investigation progresses. The restrictions in this provision could interfere with the preparation of a complete investigative report.

(8) 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(8) requires an agency to make reasonable efforts to serve notice on an individual when any record of such individual is made available to any persons; under compulsory legal process when such process becomes a matter of public record. The notice requirements of this provision could prematurely reveal an ongoing criminal investigation to the subject of the investigation.

Reasons for exemptions under 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(1):

(1) 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3) requires that an agency make accountings of disclosures of records available to individuals named in the record at their request. These accountings must state the date, nature and purpose of each disclosure of the record and the name and address of the recipient. The application of this provision would alert subjects of an investigation to the existence of the investigation, and that such persons are subjects of that investigation, information which if known might cause damage to national security.

(2) 5 U.S.C. 552a (d), (e)(4) (G) and (H), and (f) relate to an individual's right to be notified of the existence of records pertaining to such individual; requirements for identifying an individual who requests access to records; and the agency procedures relating to access to records, and the contest of information contained in such records. This system is exempt from the foregoing provisions for the following reasons: To notify an individual at the individual's request of the existence of records in an investigative file pertaining to such individual or to grant access to an investigative file could interfere with investigations undertaken in connection with national security; or could disclose the identity of sources kept secret to protect national security or reveal confidential information supplied by these sources.

(3) 5 U.S.C. 552a(3)(4)(I) requires the publication of the categories of sources of records in each system of records. The application of this provision could disclose the identity of sources kept secret to protect national security.

(4) 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(1) requires each agency to maintain in its records only such information about an individual that is relevant and necessary to accomplish a purpose of the agency required by statute or Executive Order. An exemption from the foregoing is needed:

a. Because it is not possible to detect relevance or necessity of specific information in the early stages of an investigation involving national security matters.

b. Relevance and necessity are questions of judgment and timing. What appears relevant and necessary when collected may ultimately be determined to be unnecessary. It is only after the information is evaluated that the relevance and necessity of such information can be established.

c. In any investigation the Inspector General may obtain information concerning the violators of laws other than those within the scope of his jurisdiction. In the interests of effective law enforcement, the Inspector General should retain this information as it may aid in establishing patterns of criminal activity, and provide leads for those law enforcement agencies charged with enforcing other segments of criminal or civil law.

d. In interviewing persons, or obtaining forms of evidence during an investigation, information may be supplied to the investigator which relate to matters incidental to the main purpose of the investigation but which may relate to matters under the investigative jurisdiction of another agency. Such information cannot readily be segregated.

Reasons for exemptions under 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(5):

(1) 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3) requires that an agency make accountings of disclosures of records available to individuals named in the records at their request. These accountings must stated the date, nature and purpose of each disclosure of the record and the name and address of the recipient. The application of this provision would alert subjects of an investigation to the existence of the investigation and that such persons are subjects of that investigation. Since release of such information to subjects of an investigation would provide the subject with significant information concerning the nature of the investigation, it could result in the altering or destruction of documentary evidence, improper influencing of witnesses, and other activities that could impede or compromise the investigation.

(2) 5 U.S.C. 552a(d), (e)(4)(G) and (H), and (f) relate to an individual's right to be notified of the existence of records pertaining to such individual; requirements for identifying an individual who requests access to records; and the agency procedures relating to access to records and the contest of information contained in such records. This system is exempt from the foregoing provisions for the following reasons: To notify an individual at the individual's request of the existence of records in an investigative file pertaining to such individual or to grant access to an investigative file could interfere with investigative and enforcement proceedings; co-defendants of a right to a fair trial; constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy of others; disclose the identity of confidential sources and reveal confidential information supplied by these sources; and disclose investigative techniques and procedures.

(3) 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4)(I) requires the publication of the categories of sources of records in each system of records. The application of this provision could disclose investigative techniques and procedures and cause sources to refrain from giving such information because of fear of reprisal, or fear of breach of promises of anonymity and confidentiality. This would compromise the ability to conduct investigations, and to make fair and objective decisions on questions of suitability for Federal employment and related issues.

(4) 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(1) requires each agency to maintain in its records only such information about an individual that is relevant and necessary to accomplish a purpose of the agency required by statute or Executive Order. An exemption from the foregoing is needed:

a. Because it is not possible to detect relevance or necessity of specific information in the early stages of an investigation.

b. Relevance and necessity are questions of judgment and timing. What appears relevant and necessary when collected may ultimately be determined to be unnecessary. It is only after that information is evaluated that the relevance and necessity of such information can be established.

c. In any investigation the Inspector General may obtain information concerning the violations of laws other than those within the scope of his jurisdiction. In the interest of effective law enforcement, the Inspector General should retain this information as it may aid in establishing patterns of criminal activity, and provide leads for those law enforcement agencies charged with enforcing other segments of criminal or civil law.

d. In interviewing persons, or obtaining other forms of evidence during an investigation, information may be supplied to the investigator which relate to matters incidental to the main purpose of the investigation but which may relate to matters under investigative jurisdiction of another agency. Such information cannot readily be segregated.

The restricted access environment has been established to limit the number of persons having direct access to identifiable microdata from this system. While all persons with access to this system are sworn to uphold the confidentiality of Census Bureau data, this restricted access environment further protects the confidentiality of the data and prevents unauthorized use of or access to it. These safeguards provide a level and scope of security that is not less than the level and scope of security established by the Office of Management and Budget in OMB Circular No. A-130, Appendix III, Security of Federal Automated Information Systems. Furthermore, the use of unsecured telecommunications to transmit individually identifiable or deducible information derived from the administrative record files is prohibited.

Retention and disposal practices are in accordance with the General Records Schedule and Census Bureau records control schedules that are approved by the National Archives and Records Administration. Each of the agreements between the Census Bureau and the administrative record source agencies contain specific language pertaining to retention and disposal. Retention is not to exceed 10 years, unless, by agreement with the source agency, it is determined that a longer period is necessary for statistical purposes. At the end of the retention period or upon demand, all original files, extracts, and paper copies from each agency will be returned to the source agency or destroyed as stated in the respective interagency agreement.

Import and Export Transaction Level Files--U.S. Census Bureau Headquarters, Suitland, Maryland and Census Bureau Computer Center, Bowie, Maryland.

Individuals engaged in the importation or exportation of merchandise including but not limited to the Importer of Record, the U.S. Principal Party in Interest (USPPI); the authorized agent of the importer, USPPI or Foreign Principal Party in Interest; consignees (including consignee, intermediate consignee and ultimate consignee); and the filer and the transmitter of an automated record. Note: Nearly all of the transactions covered by this system involve only business enterprises. However, a small percentage of transactions involve individuals engaged in the importation or exportation of goods. Such transactions may involve transportation of personal items or business activities.

Records maintained on individuals engaged in import or foreign trade zone activities include the following data fields: Name, address, telephone number, social security number (SSN), and border crossing number or passport number. Records maintained on individuals engaged in export activities include the following data fields: Name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, and an identifier (employer identification number (EIN) or SSN, border crossing number, or passport number). The remaining information collected contains details of the shipment and its transportation into or out of the United States, or between the United States and Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Title 13, U.S.C., Chapter 9; and Foreign Trade Statistical Regulations or its successor document, the Foreign Trade Regulations, both in Title 15, CFR part 30; and Title 19, CFR 24.5.

The records in this system of records are used by the Census Bureau to compile the U.S. merchandise trade statistics, a key component of the monthly U.S. International Trade in Goods and Services report (FT-900) and to provide information needed for related statistical programs of other agencies. In addition, the records in this system of records are also used by other Federal agencies to enforce U.S. export laws and regulations, to evaluate the impact of trade agreements and to monitor compliance with such agreements.

1. By Census Bureau staff for use in the compilation of U.S. international trade statistics and related research and analysis, and to provide customer assistance to members of the trade community in areas such as AES filing and interpretation of the Foreign Trade Statistics Regulations and its successor, the Foreign Trade Regulations. Information from this system is matched against information in the Census Bureau's Business Register to develop data products describing the characteristics of companies that export. However, since this project does not use any Business Register subsets that contain information about individuals, (nor does any subset of the Business Register contain SSNs), no information about individuals is incorporated in the data tabulations that comprise the Exporter Database.

2. By authorized sworn staff of Flagship Customs Services (FCS) for purposes of operating the AESDirect system and providing customer service to AESDirect filers. FCS staff's access is limited to the information filed through the AESDirect.

3. Provided to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Maritime Administration, Bureau of Economic Analysis, the U.S. Foreign Agricultural Service, the U.S. Federal Reserve Board and other U.S. government agencies, as authorized by a National Interest Determination (NID), for statistical purposes.

4. Provided, with authorization by CBP, to Statistics Canada (for imports from Canada only) for statistical purposes only in accordance with the terms of the U.S.--Canada Data Exchange agreement. No name, address or other identifying information is provided beyond an altered version of the importer identifier, so that no actual SSN is provided.

5. Provided to the U.S. Department of Justice (U.S. Attorneys) and U.S. courts, the U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Office of Naval Intelligence, the U.S. Maritime Administration, the U.S. Department of State, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, or other government agency, as authorized by NIDs, for purposes of enforcing U.S. export laws and regulations through analysis, investigation and prosecution of violations or other circumstances where the Secretary of Commerce or Census Bureau Director determines that withholding the information would be contrary to the national interest.

6. Provided, with authorization from CBP for import information and as authorized by an NID for export information, to the U.S. Office of Textiles and Apparel to monitor the implementation of textile agreements.

7. Provided, when authorized by NID, to appropriate agencies, entities and persons when (1) the Census Bureau suspects or has confirmed that the security or confidentiality of information in the system of records has been compromised; (2) the Census Bureau has determined that as a result of the suspected or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the security or integrity of this system or other systems or programs (whether maintained by the Census Bureau or another agency or entity) that rely upon the compromised information; and (3) the disclosure made to such agencies, entities and persons is reasonably necessary to assist in connection with the Census Bureau's efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize or remedy such harm.

Disclosure to consumer reporting agencies:

Storage:

The AES, AESDirect and the FT-900 systems have all been certified under the Federal Information Processing Standard requirements in accordance with the National Institute of Standards and Technology guidelines. Records are stored in a secure computerized system and on magnetic media; output data will use either electronic or paper media. Source data sets containing personal identifiers are maintained in a secure restricted-access environment. Access is controlled by use of usernames and passwords to ensure that system users may only access the information they are authorized to see. All communications between filers and the Census Bureau are encrypted. Access control lists and unique usernames and passwords, in accordance with Federal computer security guidelines; protect all data extracted by the Census Bureau from the AES.

Records of individuals may be retrieved by name, address, telephone number, SSN or the alternate identifier.

The U.S. Census Bureau is committed to respecting respondent privacy and protecting confidentiality. Through the Data Stewardship Program, it has implemented management, operational, and technical controls and practices to ensure high-level data protection to respondents of our census and surveys. All U.S. Census Bureau employees, contractors and other special sworn staff under Title 13, U.S.C. 23(c) are subject to the restrictions, penalties, and prohibitions of Title 13, U.S.C., Chapter 9; 15 CFR part 30; the Privacy Act of 1974 (Title 5, U.S.C. 552a(b)(4)); Title 18, U.S.C. 1905; Title 26, U.S.C. 7213; and Title 42, U.S.C. 1306. When confidentiality or penalty provisions differ, the most stringent provisions apply to protect the data. Census Bureau employees and contractors are regularly advised of the regulations issued pursuant to Title 13, U.S.C. and other relevant statutes governing confidentiality of the data. The Trade Secrets Act, 18 U.S.C. 1905 provides for penalties of up to $100,000 or imprisonment for no more than one year, or both for any unauthorized release of confidential data. Furthermore, the use of unsecured telecommunications to transmit individually identifiable information is prohibited.

Pursuant to Title 13, U.S.C. 301(g), Shipper's Export Declaration (SED) (or any successor document) are exempt from public disclosure unless the Secretary of Commerce (whose authority has been delegated to the Census Bureau Director) determines that such an exemption would be contrary to the national interest. Releases under such NIDs have been limited to U.S. government agencies. Both the NID and the implementing Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) place strict limits upon the use of SED information, including prohibiting public disclosure except to U.S. courts when necessary to prosecute a violation of U.S. export laws and regulations. Several levels of Census Bureau management up to and including the Director review all such requests before the NID is issued. Prior to providing data to an agency pursuant to an NID, and periodically thereafter, the Census Bureau conducts a safeguard review, including an on-site inspection, to ensure that the information provided will be adequately protected and used solely for the purposes authorized. The terms of the MOU governing the U.S.-Canada Data Exchange prohibit use of the data for any nonstatistical purpose. The import data obtained by the Census Bureau are collected under the authority of the CBP and are kept confidential by the Census Bureau, as required by law, unless disclosure is authorized by the CBP. Parties to U.S. import or export transactions that believe the published statistics disclose their confidential business information may contact the Chief, Foreign Trade Division, U.S. Census Bureau, Washington, DC 20233, 301-763-2255 to request that measures be taken to protect their information.

Access to the databases covered by this notice reside on servers/hardware reflected in the security plans and system documentation maintained by the IT Directorate. All software running on the servers is Census Bureau approved and further resides in environments that are certified and accredited. In addition to periodic virus scans, the systems are subjected to security reviews and audits. Access to the databases covered by this notice is controlled through the use of documented processes requiring the use of usernames and passwords to ensure that system users may only access the information they are authorized to see. Usernames and passwords comply with Census Bureau IT Security Policy, which includes standards for password complexity, how often they must be changed, etc. In the AES and the AESDirect, access is further limited by user roles, which restrict users' access to the information required to fulfill their responsibilities. Access to all databases covered by this notice is further restricted through use of access control lists.

Forms from which transaction level data are keyed are retained for three years. Consistent with 15 CFR part 30, the export transaction level records will be available to USPPIs and their agents, and authorized U.S. Federal agencies for five years unless there is a legal requirement established through a court order. In which case, the records will be retained until that order is no longer in effect. Both import and export transaction level records will be available internally indefinitely, with records archived within the Census Bureau when direct access is no longer needed. Electronic summary files are kept for 20 years or disposed of sooner if deemed no longer needed.

This information will assist search and rescue forces in carrying out their mission of rescue assistance and false alert abatement.

These records may be disclosed as follows:

1. A record in this system of records is used when a beacon alert is received at the United States Mission Control Center (USMCC) from a registered beacon. The information kept in the database is automatically forwarded to rescue coordination centers operated by the United States Air Force, United States Coast Guard, State Police/State SAR authority, or another foreign SARSAT Mission Control Center, should it be requested for use in a SAR case in a foreign search and rescue region. The information is used by search and rescue (SAR) controllers as a tool to coordinate and resolve the SAR event.

2. Every two years, NOAA uses the information in the database to alert beacon owners to update and renew their registration in the database.

3. In the event that a system of records maintained by the Department to carry out its function indicates a violation or potential violation of law or contract, whether civil, criminal or regulatory in nature and whether arising by general statute or particular program statute or contract, or rule, regulation or order issued pursuant thereto, or the necessity to protect an interest of the Department, the relevant records in the system of records may be referred to the appropriate agency, whether federal, state, local or foreign, charged with the responsibility of investigating or prosecuting such violation or charged with enforcing or implementing the statute or contract, or rule, regulation or order issued pursuant thereto, or protecting the interest of the Department.

Storage:

Computerized database stored behind open air firewall, electronic storage media, and paper records. All three mediums are retained in accordance with NOAA Records Disposition Handbook, Chapter 1404-02.

Records may be retrieved by unique beacon identification number, name of beacon owner, date of submittal, vessel name, aircraft name, or aircraft tail number; however, records can be accessed by any file element or any combination thereof.

Due to the sensitive information stored in the registration database, access has been granted only to a limited number of personnel in accordance with this system of records routine uses provision. This access comes in four different categories; beacon owners, system administrators, SAR users, and vessel/aircraft inspectors.

• The beacon owner is granted access to his/her own registration information through the use of a user ID and an online password. Information can be accessed and updated by the beacon owner at any time.

• The system administrator consists of personnel at the USMCC who maintains and operates the registration database. Access to records is through the use of a user ID and an online password.

• The SAR user is limited to rescue coordination personnel responsible for SAR operations within internationally recognized SAR regions. Each individual SAR controller is issued a user ID and an online password. SAR controllers are given a view-only capability.

• The vessel or aircraft inspector is an approved representative of a federal agency charged with inspecting vessels or aircraft which includes verifying that the emergency beacons carried onboard the vessel or aircraft are properly registered. Each individual inspector is issued a user ID and an online password. Inspectors are given a view-only capability.

Exceptions to the above categories can only be approved by the SARSAT Program Steering Group. Consideration for access to the database by a requesting individual/agency will be based in light of their overall contribution to the SAR mission versus balancing the individual beacon owner's right to privacy.

Operational controls--the SARSAT Beacon Registration Database Computer Systems are located at NOAA's USMCC facility in Suitland, Maryland. The facility has a uniformed guard service and the USMCC has key card controls limiting access to all production servers.

Technical controls--access controls are implemented on the production equipment through the use of system user names and passwords as well as database user names and passwords. Access logs are maintained and reviewed for any improprieties. The entire database is covered by an intrusion detection system that monitors and detects any attempt to access or hack any part of the database. Communications with web users are by Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol to ensure safe transmission of information. In addition to the SSL, information that is sent to the database is transferred through two firewalls prior to storage and use in the USMCC. The computerized database is backed up daily and the information is housed in a Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) shelf to minimize the risk of disk drive failure. Every month the data is backed up to tape and stored in a safe at an offsite location. The system is also certified and accredited according to federal guidelines.

Hardcopy records are maintained in areas that are accessible only to authorized personnel and stored in accordance with NOAA Records Disposition Handbook.

All records shall be retained and disposed of in accordance with NOAA Records Disposition Handbook, Chapter 1404-02, Departmental directives, and comprehensive records schedules.

NOAA/SARSAT, E/SP3, NSOF, 4231 Suitland Road, Suitland, MD 20746.

Beacon owners are notified by letter once registration information has been put into the database. Every two years thereafter, beacon owners are contacted by e-mail or letter to update their information or to confirm that their information is correct.

Requests from individuals regarding this system of records should be addressed to the system manager. Individuals with information in the database have the ability to review and update their own individual information on the internet at http://www.beaconregistration.noaa.gov. User ID and user password are set-up with initial Web registration or with a first visit to the Web site.

Individual beacon owners have access to their database file and have the ability to update or correct information. Other issues are addressed by the system manager who can be contacted at the above address.

The individual on whom the record is maintained provides information to NOAA by either the website or mail. Existing registrations can be updated according to the above processes, by a phone call from the beacon owner, or by rescue coordination center controllers when updated information is collected while processing a case.

None.

All agency employees, contractors, consultants, and volunteers who require routine, long-term access (180 days or more) to USPTO facilities, information technology systems, and networks. At its discretion, the USPTO may include short-term employees and contractors in the PIV ID program and, therefore, inclusion into the USPTO Personal Identification Verification and Security Access Control System (PIVSACS). The system does not apply to occasional visitors or short-term guests. The USPTO will issue temporary identification and credentials for those purposes.

Enrollment records maintained in the PIVSACS and on individuals applying for the PIV program and a PIV credential through the USPTO HSPD-12 system contained within the PIVSACS include the following data fields: Full name; Social Security number; employee ID number, date of birth; current address; digital color photograph; fingerprints; biometric template (two fingerprints); organization; employee affiliation; work e-mail address; work telephone number(s); copies of identity source documents; employee status; foreign national status; federal emergency response official status; results of background check; Government agency code; and PIV card issuance location. Records in the PIV ID Management System (IDMS) needed for credential management for enrolled individuals in the PIV program include: PIV card serial number; digital certificate(s) serial number; PIV card issuance and expiration dates; PIV card PIN; Cardholder Unique Identifier (CHUID); and card management keys.

Individuals enrolled in the USPTO PIVSACS will be issued a PIV card. The PIV card contains the following mandatory visual personally identifiable information: Name, photograph, employee affiliation, PIV card issue and expiration date, agency card serial number, and color-coding for employee affiliation. The card also contains an integrated circuit chip which is encoded with the following mandatory data elements which comprise the standard data model for PIV logical credentials: PIV card PIN, cardholder unique identifier (CHUID), PIV authentication digital certificate, and two fingerprint biometric templates. The PIV data model may be optionally extended to include the following logical credentials: Digital certificate for digital signature, digital certificate for key management, card authentication keys, and card management system keys. All PIV logical credentials can only be read by machine.

Access is restricted on a "need to know" basis, utilization of PIV card access, secure network access, and card readers on doors and approved storage containers. The building has security guards and secured doors. All entrances are monitored through electronic surveillance equipment. The hosting facility is supported by 24/7 onsite hosting and network monitoring by trained technical staff. Physical security controls include indoor and outdoor security monitoring and surveillance; badge and picture ID access screening; and pincode access screening. Personally identifiable information is safeguarded and protected in conformance with all Federal statutory and OMB guidance requirements. All access has role-based restrictions, and individuals with access privileges have undergone vetting and suitability screening. All data is encrypted in transit. The USPTO will maintain an audit trail and perform random periodic reviews to identify unauthorized access. Persons given roles in the PIV process must be approved by the USPTO and complete training specific to their roles to ensure they are knowledgeable about how to protect personally identifiable information.

Records retention and disposal is in accordance with the series records schedules. The records on government employees and contractor employees are retained for the duration of their employment at the USPTO.
