SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
To provide expanded notice and transparency to the public, the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) published a Privacy Act system of records notice
(SORN) in the Federal Register regarding the Automated Targeting System
(ATS) on November 2, 2006 (71 Fed. Reg. 64543). As detailed in the
SORN, ATS is the enforcement screening module associated with the
Treasury Enforcement Communications System and was previously covered
by the Treasury Enforcement Communications System ``System of Records
Notice.'' This system of records is subject to the Privacy Act of 1974,
as amended (5 U.S.C. 552a).
The DHS Privacy Office published the Privacy Impact Assessment
(PIA) for ATS on November 24, 2006 on its Web site, http://www.dhs.gov/privacy
under ``Privacy Impact Assessments.'' The PIA provides additional
background information and context for the SORN, including specific
information on measures taken by DHS to protect the privacy of persons
whose information might be found in ATS.
The SORN referenced above did not identify or create any new
collection of information; rather DHS merely provided additional notice
and transparency of the functionality of these pre-existing systems.
The SORN provided for a thirty day comment period which expired on
December 4, 2006.
Extension of Comment Period
In response to the SORN published in the Federal Register, and the
PIA published on the web, DHS has received a number of comments from
the public requesting an extension of the comment period. DHS has
decided to grant the request for the extension. Accordingly, the period
of time for the submission of comments is being extended. Comments are
now due on or before December 29, 2006.
Dated: December 4, 2006.
Hugo Teufel III,
Chief Privacy Officer.
