2018-05542. Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY:

Privacy Office, Department of Homeland Security.

ACTION:

Notice of modified privacy act system of records.

SUMMARY:

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to modify and reissue a current DHS Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) system of records titled, “Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)-013 Alien Health Records System.” This system of records allows the Department to maintain records that document the health screening, examination, and treatment of aliens arrested by the Department and detained by ICE for civil immigration purposes in facilities where the ICE Health Service Corps (IHSC) provides or oversees the provision of care. As a result of a review of this system, the Department is updating this system of records to include two new routine uses to describe how the Department may share information from this system. The purpose of this system is also being updated to include the new IHSC Patient Medical Record Portal (the “Portal”), whereby individuals discharged from Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities (either released from custody or removed from the United States) can log in and get a copy of their electronic medical record. As a result, a new category of records is being maintained in this system of records to support login capability for the Patient Medical Record Portal. Finally, this notice includes non-substantive changes to simplify the formatting and text of the previously published notice. This modified system will be included in the DHS inventory of record systems.

DATES:

Submit comments on or before April 18, 2018. This modified system will be effective upon publication. New or modified routine uses are effective April 18, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, DHS ICE proposes to modify and reissue a current DHS system of records notice (SORN) titled, “DHS/ICE-013 Alien Health Records System.”

DHS is modifying the DHS/ICE-013 Alien Health Records SORN to add two new routine uses that will allow ICE to share information from the Alien Health Records system of records with the additional recipients for the specified purposes. DHS is also updating the purpose of this SORN to include the new IHSC Portal, whereby individuals discharged from ICE facilities (either released from custody or removed from the United States) can log in and get a copy of their electronic medical record. As a result, a new category of records is being maintained in this system of records to support login capability for the Portal.

Records covered by this system of records is maintained by the IHSC, a division within ICE's Office of Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO). (Note: IHSC was previously known as the Division of Immigration Health Services (DIHS).) This system of records covers medical, mental health, and dental records that document the medical screening, examination, diagnosis, and treatment of aliens whom ICE detains for civil immigration purposes in facilities where IHSC provides or oversees the provision of medical care. It also covers information about prisoners of the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) who are housed in a detention facility operated by or on behalf of ICE pursuant to agreements with the USMS, and where IHSC provides or oversees the provision of medical care. IHSC provides necessary and appropriate medical, mental health, and dental care to ICE detainees. IHSC medical staff may also procure consultation, diagnostic, treatment, or procedural services that IHSC deems necessary and appropriate from external health care providers in facilities outside of IHSC. Medical information is typically shared with other health care providers to ensure a detainee's continuity of care. Information about individuals with infectious diseases of public health significance may be shared with public health officials in order to prevent exposure to or transmission of the disease.

New routine uses, EE. and FF., have been added to allow ICE to share information covered by this SORN to third-parties for processing payments and for redress, respectively. Routine use GG., previously routine use EE., has been updated to simplify the formatting and text of the previously published notice.

In addition, a new category of records has been added in support of the newly-developed Portal. The Portal permits individuals discharged from ICE custody to access a copy of their electronic medical record for a period of up to 12 months after they are discharged. Logging into the Portal requires former ICE detainees to enter a unique username and password that ICE provides to the alien upon discharge from the detention facility. The login credentials have been added in the “Categories of Records” section below.

Finally, IHSC is not subject to the provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) regulation, “Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information” (Privacy Rule), within 45 CFR parts 160 and 164. IHSC does not meet the statutory definition of a covered plan under HIPAA, 42 U.S.C. 1320d(5), and is specifically excluded from the application of HIPAA as a “government funded program . . . [w]hose principal activity is [t]he direct provision of healthcare to persons,” 45 CFR 160.103 (definition of a health plan). Because IHSC is not a covered entity, the restrictions prescribed by the HIPAA Privacy Rule are not applicable.

Consistent with DHS's information sharing mission, information covered by the DHS/ICE-013 Alien Health Records system SORN may be shared with other DHS Components that have a need to know the information to carry out their national security, law enforcement, immigration, intelligence, or other homeland security functions. In addition, DHS/ICE may share information with appropriate federal, state, local, tribal, territorial, foreign, or international government agencies consistent with the routine uses set forth in this SORN.

This modified system will be included in DHS's inventory of record systems.

II. Privacy Act

The Privacy Act embodies fair information practice principles in a statutory framework governing the means by which Federal Government agencies collect, maintain, use, and disseminate individuals' records. The Privacy Act applies to information that is maintained in a “system of records.” A “system of records” is a group of any records under the control of an agency from which information is retrieved by the name of an individual or by some identifying number, symbol, or other identifying particular assigned to the individual. In the Privacy Act, an individual is defined to encompass U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents. Additionally, and similarly, the Judicial Redress Act (JRA) provides covered persons with a statutory right to make requests for access and amendment to covered records, as defined by the JRA, along with judicial review for denials of such requests. In addition, the JRA prohibits disclosures of covered records, except as otherwise permitted by the Privacy Act.

Below is the description of the DHS/ICE-013 Alien Health Records System SORN. In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), DHS has provided a report of this system of records to the Office of Management and Budget and to Congress.

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER

Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)-013 Alien Health Records System.

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION:

Unclassified, For Official Use Only.

SYSTEM LOCATION:

Records are maintained in the ICE electronic health records (eHR) system and at detention facilities where care is provided by the ERO IHSC. IHSC provides care to aliens in all Service Processing Centers, which are ICE-operated facilities; at most contract detention facilities, which are owned and operated by a private company with which ICE contracts for detention services; and in some Intergovernmental Service Agreement (IGSA) facilities. IGSAs are facilities operated by a city, county, or state government, and ICE contracts with them for detention services, leases bed space, or both from them. Records are also maintained at ICE Headquarters in Washington, DC, and at ICE ERO field offices.

SYSTEM MANAGER(S):

Assistant Director, ICE Health Service Corps, Enforcement and Removal Operations, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, 500 12th Street SW, Washington, DC 20536.

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:

5 U.S.C. 301; 44 U.S.C. 3101; 8 U.S.C. 1103, 1222, and 1231; and 42 U.S.C. 249.

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM:

The purpose of this system is to document and facilitate the provision of medical, dental, and mental health care to individuals in ICE custody in facilities where care is provided by IHSC. The system also supports the collection, maintenance, and sharing of medical information for these individuals in the interest of public health, especially in the event of a public health emergency, such as an epidemic or pandemic. Finally, this system facilitates continuity of care after individuals are discharged from ICE facilities by providing individuals with direct access to their records and disclosing records to other parties (e.g., medical providers), as appropriate.

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM:

Two categories of individuals are covered by this system. The first category is aliens detained by ICE for civil immigration purposes. These aliens have been booked into a detention facility where IHSC provides or oversees the provision of medical care. The second category is prisoners in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) who are being detained in facilities operated by or on behalf of ICE pursuant to agreements made with the USMS and who also receive medical care from IHSC. Hereafter, the term “in ICE custody” will be used to refer to both the aliens detained by ICE who receive medical care from IHSC, and the USMS prisoners being housed in IHSC-staffed detention facilities.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF RECORDS:

DHS/ICE stores records in this system electronically or on paper in secure facilities in a locked drawer behind a locked door. The records may be stored on magnetic disc, tape, digital media, and CD-ROM.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF RECORDS:

Records may be retrieved by name, Alien Registration Number (A-Number), Subject ID, or USMS/Federal Bureau of Prisons Registration Number.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND DISPOSAL OF RECORDS:

NARA has approved ICE records schedules that outline the retention periods for detainee medical records. Consistent with the DAA-567-2015-002 and N1-567-08-001 records schedules:

(1) Medical records for an adult will be retained for ten (10) years after an individual has been released from ICE custody, and then shall be destroyed;

(2) Medical records about a minor will be retained until the minor has reached the age of twenty-seven (27) years in order to comply with state laws regarding the retention of medical records related to minors, and then shall be destroyed;

(3) Annual data on detainees who have died in ICE custody that has been transferred to the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) and annual reports regarding infectious diseases will be retained for ten (10) years, and then destroyed;

(4) Various statistical reports will be retained permanently by NARA; and

(5) Monthly and annual statistical reports, including those regarding workload operations, will be destroyed when no longer needed for business purposes.

ICE is currently in the process of developing a records retention schedule with NARA for the various records covered by this SORN that consolidates DAA-567-2015-002 and N1-567-08-001.

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL SAFEGUARDS:

DHS/ICE safeguards records in this system according to applicable rules and policies, including all applicable DHS automated systems security and access policies. ICE has imposed strict controls to minimize the risk of compromising the information that is being stored. Access to the computer system containing the records in this system is limited to those individuals who have a need to know the information for the performance of their official duties and who have appropriate clearances or permissions.

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES:

Individuals seeking access to and notification of any record contained in this system of records may submit a request in writing to the ICE FOIA Officer, whose contact information can be found at http://www.dhs.gov/​foia under “Contact Information.” If an individual believes more than one component maintains Privacy Act records concerning him or her, the individual may submit the request to the Chief Privacy Officer and Chief Freedom of Information Act Officer, Department of Homeland Security, Washington, DC 20528-0655. Even if neither the Privacy Act nor the Judicial Redress Act provides a right of access, certain records about you may be available under the Freedom of Information Act.

When an individual is seeking records about himself or herself from this system of records or any other Departmental system of records, the individual's request must conform with the Privacy Act regulations set forth in 6 CFR part 5. The individual must first verify his/her identity, meaning that the individual must provide his/her full name, current address, and date and place of birth. The individual must sign the request, and the individual's signature must either be notarized or submitted under 28 U.S.C. 1746, a law that permits statements to be made under penalty of perjury as a substitute for notarization. While no specific form is required, an individual may obtain forms for this purpose from the Chief Privacy Officer and Chief Freedom of Information Act Officer, http://www.dhs.gov/​foia or 1-866-431-0486. In addition, the individual should:

• Explain why the individual believes the Department would have information on him/her;
• Identify which component(s) of the Department the individual believes may have the information about him/her;
• Specify when the individual believes the records would have been created; and
• Provide any other information that will help the FOIA staff determine which DHS component agency may have responsive records;
• If an individual's request seeks records pertaining to another living individual, the first individual must include a statement from the second individual certifying his/her agreement for the first individual to access his/her records.

Without the above information, the component(s) may not be able to conduct an effective search, and the individual's request may be denied due to lack of specificity or lack of compliance with applicable regulations.
