SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

The Department of the Interior (DOI), Office of Law Enforcement and Security maintains the HSPD-12: Physical Security Files—Interior, DOI-46 system of records. This system helps DOI manage physical security operations and visitor access to DOI-controlled facilities and implement Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12), which requires Federal agencies to use a common identification credential for both logical and physical access to Federally-controlled facilities and information systems. DOI employees, contractors, consultants, volunteers, Federal emergency response officials, Federal employees on detail or temporarily assigned to work in DOI facilities, visitors, and other individuals require access to agency facilities, systems or networks. DOI uses integrated identity management systems to issue credentials to verify individuals' identities, manage access controls, and ensure the security of DOI controlled facilities. This Department-wide system notice covers physical security program records and activities, including all DOI controlled areas where paper-based physical security logs and registers have been established, in addition to or in place of smart-card access control systems.

DOI is publishing this revised notice to describe the purpose of the system, propose new and modified routine uses, and provide updates to the categories of records, categories of individuals covered by the system and the remaining sections to accurately reflect management of the system of records in accordance with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-108, Federal Agency Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, and Publication under the Privacy Act. Additionally, DOI is claiming exemptions for certain records maintained in this system from some provisions of the Privacy Act pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2), (k)(3), and (k)(5).

DOI is proposing to modify existing routine uses to provide clarity and transparency, and reflect updates consistent with standard DOI routine uses. Routine uses A, B, E, G, and I have been modified to provide additional clarification on external organizations and circumstances where disclosures are proper and necessary to facilitate physical security operations or to comply with Federal requirements. Modified routine use J and new routine use K allow DOI to share information with appropriate Federal agencies or entities when reasonably necessary to respond to a breach of personally identifiable information and to prevent, minimize, or remedy the risk of harm to individuals or the Federal Government, or assist an agency in locating individuals affected by a breach in accordance with OMB Memorandum M-17-12, Preparing for and Responding to a Breach of Personally Identifiable Information.

DOI is proposing to add new routine uses to facilitate sharing of information with agencies and organizations to ensure the efficient and effective management of physical security functions, promote the integrity of the records in the system, or carry out a statutory responsibility of the DOI or Federal Government. New proposed routine use C facilitates sharing of information with the Executive Office of the President to resolve issues concerning an individual's records. Routine use D allows DOI to share information with other agencies when there is an indication of a violation of law. Routine use F facilitates sharing of information related to hiring, issuance of a security clearance, or a license, contract, grant or benefit. Routine use H allows sharing of information with government agencies and organizations in response to court orders or for discovery purposes related to litigation. Routine use L facilitates sharing with the OMB in relation to legislative affairs mandated by OMB Circular A-19. Routine use M allows sharing of information with the Department of the Treasury to recover debts owed to the United States. Routine use N allows sharing with the news media and the public, when it is necessary to preserve the confidence in the integrity of DOI, demonstrate the accountability of its officers, employees, or individuals covered in the system, or where there exists a legitimate public interest in the disclosure of the information such as circumstances that support a legitimate law enforcement or public safety function, or protects the public from imminent threat of life or property.

Some Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card information in this system may also be covered under government-wide system of records notice, GSA/GOVT-7, Federal Personal Identity Verification Identity Management System (PIV IDMS), which applies to participating Federal agency employees, consultants, and volunteers who require long-term access to Federal facilities, systems and networks, and individuals who are authorized to perform or use services in agency facilities. This system notice covers additional categories of individuals and records to include occasional and short-term visitors and guests, temporary credentials, paper-based security logs, and other information necessary to ensure the safety and security of DOI facilities, systems, occupants, and users.

In a notice of proposed rulemaking, which is published separately in the Federal Register, DOI is proposing to exempt records maintained in this system from certain provisions of the Privacy Act pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2), (k)(3) and (k)(5).

II. Privacy Act

The Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, embodies fair information practice principles in a statutory framework governing the means by which Federal agencies collect, maintain, use, and disseminate individuals' personal information. The Privacy Act applies to records about individuals that are maintained in a “system of records.” A “system of records” is a group of any records under the control of an agency for which information is retrieved by the name of an individual or by some identifying number, symbol, or other identifying particular assigned to the individual. The Privacy Act defines an individual as a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident. Individuals may request access to their own records that are maintained in a system of records in the possession or under the control of DOI by complying with DOI Privacy Act regulations at 43 CFR part 2, subpart K, and following the procedures outlined in the Records Access, Contesting Record, and Notification Procedures sections of this notice.

The Privacy Act requires each agency to publish in the Federal Register a description denoting the existence and character of each system of records that the agency maintains and the routine uses of each system. The revised INTERIOR/DOI-46, Physical Security Access Files, system of records notice is published in its entirety below. In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), DOI has provided a report of this system of records to the Office of Management and Budget and to Congress.

III. Public Participation

You should be aware your entire comment including your personal identifying information, such as your address, phone number, email address, or any other personal identifying information in your comment, may be made publicly available at any time. While you may request to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee we will be able to do so.

DISCLOSURE TO CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCIES:

None.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF RECORDS:

Paper records are contained in file folders stored within filing cabinets in secured rooms. Electronic records are contained in computers, compact discs, computer tapes, removable drives, email, diskettes, and electronic databases.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF RECORDS:

Records may be retrieved by name; SSN; image; organization/office of assignment; date, time or location of entry or exit; ID security card number or date; or other personal identifier listed in the Category of Records section of this notice.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND DISPOSAL OF RECORDS:

Records covered by this system are retained in accordance with General Records Schedule (GRS) 5.6, Security Records, which cover records about protecting an organization's personnel, assets, and facilities. These records generally have a temporary disposition, and retention schedules vary on the type of record and needs of the agency. Records related to visitor controls files are destroyed two years after final entry or ID security card expiration date. Records related to physical security and protection of facilities, including correspondence relating to administration and operations, and some investigative files are destroyed when two years old. See specific items under GRS 5.6 for retention periods. Retention periods for security violation files relating to investigations referred to administrative or law enforcement organizations may vary depending on the subject matter, legal requirements and Departmental policy. Approved disposition methods for temporary records include shredding or pulping paper records, and erasing or degaussing electronic records in accordance with 384 Departmental Manual 1 and NARA guidelines.

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL SAFEGUARDS:

The records contained in this system are safeguarded in accordance with 43 CFR 2.226 and other applicable security and privacy rules and policies. During normal hours of operation, paper records are maintained in locked file cabinets under the control of authorized personnel. Computer servers on which electronic records are stored are located in secured DOI facilities with physical, technical and administrative levels of security to prevent unauthorized access to the DOI network and information assets. Access granted to authorized personnel and individuals at guard stations is password-protected; each person granted access to the system at guard stations must be individually authorized to use the system. A Privacy Act Warning Notice appears on the monitor screen when records containing information on individuals are first displayed. Data exchanged between the servers and the systems at the guard stations and badging office are encrypted. Backup tapes are stored in a locked and controlled room in a secure, off-site location.

Computerized records systems follow the National Institute of Standards and Technology privacy and security standards as developed to comply with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a; Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3521; Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014, 44 U.S.C. 3551-3558; and the Federal Information Processing Standards 199: Standards for Security Categorization of Federal Information and Information Systems. Security controls include user identification, passwords, database permissions, encryption, firewalls, audit logs, and network system security monitoring, and software controls.

Access to records in the system is limited to authorized personnel who have a need to access the records in the performance of their official duties, and each user's access is restricted to only the functions and data necessary to perform that person's job responsibilities. System administrators and authorized users are trained and required to follow established internal security protocols and must complete all security, privacy, and records management training and sign the DOI Rules of Behavior. A Privacy Impact Assessment was completed on the PACS system to ensure that Privacy Act requirements are met and appropriate privacy controls were implemented to safeguard personally identifiable information.
