PRIVACY AND CIVIL LIBERTIES OVERSIGHT BOARD
Watch List Redress Request for Public Comment
AGENCY: Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, The White House.
ACTION: Request for public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, established
by the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (Pub.
L. 108-458, December 17, 2004), advises the President and other senior
executive branch officials to ensure that concerns about privacy and
civil liberties are appropriately considered in the implementation of
laws, regulations, and executive branch policies related to efforts to
protect the Nation against terrorism. This includes advising on whether
adequate guidelines, supervision, and oversight exist to protect the
important legal rights of all Americans.
Processes currently exist to redress errors and ameliorate false
positives associated with the use of watch list data for aviation and
other security screening purposes. Efforts to address, enhance,
conform, and potentially streamline these procedures are ongoing
throughout the Federal Government, and the Board is assisting relevant
executive branch departments and agencies in those efforts. The Board
seeks any comments, suggestions or other information from members of
the
[[Page 75753]]
public who have knowledge on this subject. Comments may be forwarded
via the Board's Web site at http://www.PrivacyBoard.gov. While there is
no specific deadline for the submission, the Board is interested in
receiving public comments soon. The Board is unable to respond to
individual comments and cannot assist individual redress requests.
Information gathered will be used solely to assist the Board in
understanding the effects of policy and program operations on
Americans' civil liberties.
DATES: While there is no specific deadline for the submission, the
Board is interested in receiving public comments soon.
ADDRESSES: Comments can be e-mailed to: PrivacyBoard@who.eop.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Seth Wood, 202-456-1240.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Homeland Security Presidential Directive 6,
dated September 16, 2003, requires that the Attorney General establish
an organization to consolidate the Federal Government's approach to
terrorism screening and provide for the appropriate and lawful use of
terrorist information in screening processes. Pursuant to this
directive, the Secretaries of State, Defense, the Treasury, and
Homeland Security along with the Attorney General and the Director of
Central Intelligence established by a memorandum of understanding the
Terrorist Screening Center (TSC). Under TSC's supervision, the
Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB) was created to compile the most
thorough, accurate and current information possible about individuals
known or suspected to be or to have been engaged in conduct advancing
terrorism. This database consolidates the Federal Government's
terrorism screening databases into a single integrated database and
provides for its appropriate and lawful use in screening processes
administered by Federal, State, local, and tribal authorities.
Authority: Pub. L. 108-408 Sec. 1061 et seq. (Dec. 17, 2004).
