الملخص

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of Homeland Security proposes to update and reissue the Department of Homeland Security system of records titled, "Department of Homeland Security/U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services--016 Electronic Immigration System-3 Automated Background Functions System of Records." This system of records will allow the Department of Homeland Security/U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to collect and maintain certain biographic information about individuals in the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration -Services Electronic Immigration System and its legacy systems in order to detect duplicate and related accounts and identify potential national security concerns, criminality, and fraud to ensure that serious or complex cases receive additional scrutiny. This system of records notice is being updated to clarify the data retention policy. Additionally, the Department of Homeland Security is issuing a Final Rule elsewhere in the Federal Register, to exempt this system of records from certain provisions of the Privacy Act. This updated system will be included in the Department of Homeland Security's inventory of record systems.
